SAD RAILROAD AcCIDENT.-On Thurs
day last the up passenger train was thrown
down an embankment between North
Hartland and White River junction, by
the spreading of rail, and the fireman
named Chamberlain, of West Hartford,
we believe, was so injured that he died at
10 o'clock that night, and Charles Hay
den, long well known as one of the best
engineers on the road, was supposed at
first to be fatally injured, but we have
since learned there is hope of his recov-
cry, and he will even save his arm, which
was so badly crushed as to create the fear
of amputation. His breast was also badly
burned by hot water. He was caught un-
der the engine, which struck upon stone,
and by the side of this stone, where he
was found, was the space into which he
was thrown, and barely had room to
| breathe, otherwise he would have been
instantly killed and as it was, jack screws
| had to be used 10 raise the engine before
he could be got out.

The earth hat has bee hauled upo the

than $4,000. For these improvements the
Rutland and Burlington Railway compa-
ny, as we'll as the Rutland public, are
mainly indebted to Col. GEO. A. MERRILL,
the superintendent, whose public spirit and
high business qualifications are frequently
mentioned by intelligent observers. The
people of Rutland may well congratulate
themselves on his accessions among them.

Lyceun.

The Lyeeum meeting on Monday eve
ming was of much interest, and the best of
any yet bad, in all the exercises, including
the excellent defamation by Frank Eddy,
and the paper SO well edited by Misses
Addie Perkins and Helen E. Hapgood.
The debate was better than any previous
one, on both sides. There will be no dis
cussion at the next meeting, but lecture
by Mr.. Hagar of Proctorsville.

Another Great Temperance Meet
ing.

THE CHURCH COMPLETELY PACKED
70 SIGN THE PLEDGE--ToTAL NUM-
BIER, $50.
The Baptist Church was again filled to
ovcrfowirg on Sunday evening last, few
more certainly than at any previous meet
ing. An extra number Of seats were
brought in all of which we're quickly filled
and nearly all of the standing room was
also occupied. Possibly few more could
have stood in the aisles, but otherwise the
Church was filed to the utmost capacity,
and it was evident there was an early
rush to secure seats. We are thus partic-
ular on this point, TO show the interest
manifested.
Rev. Mr.. Pierce explained remark he
had made, or rather an anecdote he had
related at the last meeting which had been
misunderstood or misapplied, and then adj
dressed the meeting with unusual power
and eloquence, his remarks being received
with evident satisfaction and appreciation,
by the large audience present. He adj
dressed himself mainly to temperance
men who while they evidently felt an in
terest in the cause had not signed the
pledge.
He was followed by earnest words from
Revs. Stevens and Wight, and Messrs. p.
NJ. Frost, d. X. Barry, A. NJ. Kendall,
IL. f. Adams, and c. j. Joslyn. The sing
ing was excellent and interesting. Rev. MIR.
/ S evens himself master musician, pre-
sides at the instrument, and with Prot.
Merrill as director, aided by others of the
best musical ability in our village, our
readers can Judge for themselves as to the
interest in this part of the exercises, and
during this exercise the crowd 90 up and
sign the pledge. On this evening SEVENTY
THREE signed, the most, we believe, of any
one evening since the first night.
At the close of the meeting the follow
ing resolution was unanimously adopted,
by rising vote, with request that it be
published in the TINES, viz -
Believing that runaseAing is tie great
barrier to the progress of all good and
true principles, therefore
Resolved, That we earnestly request
every person engaged in selling intoxicat-
ing drinks of any kind in this community,
at once to desist entirely therefrom.
The next meeting will be held Sunday
evening, Dec. 23d, at o'clock. Thus far
the interest in this movement not only con-
, tinues undated bu, is increasing.

RUTLAND--Probably no town in Yer
mont is growing more rapidly, or exhibit
ing more signs of substantial improvement
than Rutland. The population Of the en-
tire town is now estimated at $4,000, and
the principal village, 6000. Several stores
have been erected and ill with goods
within the past few months, new dwelling
houses erected, and number of the
streets and sidewalks greatly improved.
Among the improvements none are more
noticeable than those upon and around the
railway station. We understand some
$4,000 have hecn expended in altering and

AssAULT.-Henry Wilson OF this vii
lage, boy of some eighteen years OF ag',
and who of late has manifested plug ugly
proclivities, much to the annoyance of
peace and order, and especially of his pa
rents who would be glad to have him be-
have better. was arrested on Wednesday
and brought before Justice w. II. John
son. for ASSAULT on Austin G. Fletcher,
printer in this office, and fined ten dollars
and costs. The assault was wholly unpro-
voked in any form whatever, as the par
ties were total strangers, and commenced
by shoulder hitting by Wilson after the
STYLE of the Five Points" in Wight
mans Hall, after the lyceum had adjourn
ed on Monday evening. He then followed
and attacked him in the street, cowardly
coming up behind him unawares. 1t was
genuine specimen of city rufiianism on
small scale, and the affair created con-
siderable Indignation in the village, and
fortunately there is a very healthy seniI-
ment here just now on such things, and 1t
is not all confined to temperance either.

HORSE THEFT.-on Friday night last
Mr.. B. f. Ellison had his horse and bug
gy and other fixtures, stolen from his barn
in this village. Mr.. Ellison with COM
mendable perseverance traced and pur-
sued the thief to Troy, N. Y. where he
had him arrested, and recovered his prop
erty. He proves to be one Gilman, who
was recently out of the State Prison at
Windsor, and has worked for while for
Messrs. Frost, Derby q Flin's in this
place, having learnt the scythe snath
trade in prison life. We understand he
is now at Ludlow. While here he mar
ried a woman known ss the g Great East
ern," but they did not live together long
Whether he is to be tried at Ludlow, or
brought here, we have not learned.
