Two WOOD STORIEs.-All the peo-
pie of Barre are laughing over the
following true story, and we are sure
it will please the Doctors friends in
this section Of the State DR.. Lyman
Paddock, now scventy-seven years Of
age. inquired among his ncighbors
where he could get some wood to
chop. L. p. Harrington thcreupon
offered to give the Doctor all he would
cuthimsef-anything butmaple. The
offer was accepted. and the venerable
Doctor went to- the distance Of four
miles on the west side Of Milestone
Hill. the coolest spot in all creation.
The forrest was on the hill, and very
steep one, covered with just enough
snow to make the feet play lively
The Doctor caught many a fall, and
then armed the heels Of his boots With
iron caIks, by the aid Of which he
found ne could climb safely. He then
engaged board about half mi c
from his wood-Iot, and proceeded to
business. In seventeen and one-half
days he cut twenty cords of cight-foot
wood, which was subsequently, drawn
home, and is now piled in the Doctors
wood-yard-a handsome pile, and, as
our informant says, confirmation Of
the saving of the late Jonathan Shep
ard, at the are Of ninety, that "a man
at seventy is a fool to call himself an
old man. "-UaItou's Duly.
We know u good story Of the DR.. S
father, DR.. Robert Paddock, who liv
ed on the same place where DR.. Ly
man now lives. One night, returning
home late, while putting up his horse
he Observed neighbornamed k-th
who lived opposite, come across tC
his pile Of green wood, and loading
his arms with it, carried it home. The
Doctor was always up to joke, Sc
going INTO his shed, he took up a:
much dry wood as he could carry anC
going over to Mr.. k-th's, walked
boldly into the kitchen, and laying
down his dry wood beside the greer
said:
Mr.. K-th, we never pretend t
use that wood at home, without som
dry with it."
The Doctors wood-pile was no
molested afterward.-Rec0rd.

DARING OuTRAcE.--We regret TO state that
one Of the soldiers of the garrison at this place
wns shot, and severely wounded at Hodges
Depot on, Friday last, under circumstances Of
peculiar nggravation. The perpotrator was
stranger In the community entirely unknown
to thoae who witnessed the occurrence, but
supposed to belong to a bnnd Of reckless out
laws who for sometime past, have been com.
m'tting deprcdations upon property in this and
the adjoining Districts. After robbing the SOL
der OF his pocket book and overcoat lie shot
him down without provocation, aud being
mounted made his escape. 1t is unnecessary
to say that the citizens are unmeasured in their
denuDciations of the atrocious act, and we're
active in attempting to secure tile arrest Of
the party. but without success. We are graft
hed to learn that the soldier, is doing well and
will probably recover.

which affect 80 seriously the fair fame of our
