WAsH-oUT ON THE RUTLAND & BUR-
LGNGToN RAILROAD. - The temporary
bridge over Williams river, near Chester,
which supplied the place of the bridge
which was destroyed last week, was
carried away by the sudden rise of
water yesterday morning, and at seven
o'clock last evening twenty-five rods of
track near Williams Rock was inun-
dated preventing the running of night
express trains either north or east OF
Rutland. Roadmaster Chase, with a
large gang of men, will repair the latter
IS soon as the water subsidies, while
Mr. Roys, with his men, will speedily
put the bridge in order for the passage
Of trains. We do not anticipate any de-
lay after to day, unless the continued
rains of last night cause further destruc-
ton. The Superintendent went down
on this mornings train, with men and
material, to repair damages.

The Senate found itself without
quorum yesterday afternoon, and pro-
ceedings were taken to compsl the at.
tendance of absent Senators, but they
were not prosecuted to effect, and the
Senate was compelled to adjourn. This
morning quorum was present at the
opening, but before any business was
reached, the quorum disappeared, and
the Senate adjourned till two o'clock
next Monday afternoon. The House
holds its regular sessions, but with
diminished attendance. 1t is becoming
an almost invariable custom, a custom
more honOred in the breach than in the
observance, for members to desert their
seats as the end OF the week draws near,
and thus without any formal adjourn
ment, to make necessary suspension
of all important business.
The Senators from Rutland county
occupy positions on sorle of the most
important committees. Mr.. Dorr is
not only President pro TEN. of the Senate,
but chalrms i of the committee on educa-
ton, anT. a member of the committees
on TIE library and on federal relations.
ar Howe is chairman Of the committee
on claims, and Mr.. Hyde of the commit

RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL week ago
last Saturday night as the night train
from Island Pond to Montreal was
approaching Windsor Station at full
speed, switch was displaced and the
engine turned a complete somersault.
The engineer, Charles Dickinson, jumped
from his little house down a slight en-
bankment, and the engine struck on top
Of him killing him instantly. The fire.
men remained in his place and went over
with the machine, getting his leg smashed
from his ancle to the knee so that am
putation will be necessary, and also
getting the skin torn completely off
from the shoulder to his hand. He was
kept confined near the boiler four hours
before he could be relieved, and the only
way his life was preserved was by a
stream of water which the people man
aged to get to him. The engine was con-
siderably injured. 1t is supposed the
switch was displaced by some per-
son designing mischief.

CENTENIAL SERVICES IN POULTNEY.-
The centennial services Of the M. E..
Church in Poultney, celebrating the one
hundredth year Of American Methodism,
will ever remain fresh in the memories
of all participating in them or witnessing
them. The history of the NJ. E. church
in Poultney, by the pastor, Rev. 7. w.
Harwood, was neatly prepared, some of
the concluding sentences being touch
ingly tender. The Centennial Address,
by Hon. James Sade of Middlebury,
was an able and vigorous production,
evincing intimate acquaintance with
the history, and warm and lively SYM
pathy with the genius of Methodism.
The address of the evening, by Rev. DR..
Wentworth of Troy, N. Y, on the Rela-
tion of Methodism to Missions, was ma
ture, clear, pungent and telling. The
subscriptions of the day and evening
amounted to Sl,l00. The singing by
the choir and congregation was not un-
worthy of the spirited praise of primi-
tive Methodism. The committee, of
which Rev. DR.. Newman was chairman,
had abundant reason to congratulate
itself on the gratifying success which
has crowned all its plans. The day will
enjoy an imperishable record.

TEMPERANoE.-The Hartford Protect
i've Temperance Society met at West
Hartford on the evening of the 18th inst.
Songs were furnished by the choir du-
ring the evening. After the reading of
the Secretary's report, prayer was made
by Rev. III. Wellington, after which a
temperance lecture was delivered by
Rev. B. F. Ray, the President of the
Society. The present crisis in the Tenn
perance cause, the danger to which all
classes, especially young men, are ex-
posed, the need of agitation and effort in
behalf Of Temperance, and many tother
points were set forth, to deeply inter-
ested audience.
Over thirty-four dollars have been
raised during the past month in
Queechy, for the temperance cause; ad-
ditional contributions are yet to be made
in West Hartford, and White River viii
lage. This Society was organized last
May, and now numbers nearly one hun
dred members.

Sowing Timothy.

We consider that fall sowing, say
from the middle of August, to the
first of October, is the best time to
seed to this grass; and next to seed
ing alone, we prefer to seed with
wheat. As soon as the wheat is
sown and whilst the ground is yet
mellow and in good condition, put on
your timothy seed. It is generally
sown, about one bushel to eight acres,
but we prefer about nine pounds to
the acre; it is better to have a thick
stand; because it prevents the growth
of weeds, and because the grass. will
be finer and of better quality for hay
than if suffered to grow thin and
rank. We recommend fall sowing,
because the plants by getting deeper
rooted, will Withstand the drouth of
the succeeding summer better than
when sown in the spring. We have
sometimes had very good set, when
sown in the spring with oats, and it
may answer very we'll if the oats are
light, so as not to smother the timothy
too much, and if the summer does not
prove too dry; on account of these
contingencies, we prefer fall sowing

AGRICULTURAL.
The Proper Time to Sow Wheat
[Frora the Richmond Hnd.l Telegram.l

lFroTn the Richmond (Ind.) Telegram.I
We give it as our unqualified opin-
ion that this month August - is
the proper time to sow this crop.
Observations extended over series
of thirty7fve years serves to- confirm
and convince us that we are right on
this point-and why2 Through this
region the wheat crop is becoming
from year to year more uncertain and
difficult to raise, from the fact that it
suffers under increasing injury from
winter killing Whether this is owing
to less protection by snow, OF whether
it is owing to greater alterations In
temperature, or to a combination of
both these causes, is perhaps uncer-
tain; still the fact of increasing in
jury stares us in the face, as fixed
fact. and calls for some appropriate
remedy. By sowing early the plant
has more time to perfect and fasten
itself by extending more deeply and
widely the rami6cations of its roots
through the ground, and thereby,
in great measure, prevents
the plant from being thrown
out by the frequent and successive
upheavings caused by the rapid freez-
ings and thawings of winter; again, if
the tops of the plants arewell grown
before winter comes on, they cover
the ground and serve as a clothing
and protecting cover to the roots, and
mitigate much the severity of the
freezing that they would otherwise be
subject to; they would also be protect.
ed in a measure from the drying EFF
fects of the sun and winds which so
often seriously injure the plants in
February and March. Again, early
sown wheat is generally earlier in RI
pening, and hence, escapes, in a great
measure, the destructive ravages of
the red aphides, and the blighting eff
fects of the rust. These two causes
of injury, should alone be sufficient
to induce us to- SOW early and hasten
the harvest. MA AeA3 6tAIAfAL
But, setting aside all theories of in
furious causes in this respect, we have
observed that almost uniformly, the
early sown wheat proves at harvest to
be the best, both in quantity and quail
ity; this is a fact that illustrates,
and should cause all to hurry on the
manure-IOr IL Is preSumaDle GnaC
every one will of course scrape up all
of the manure at his disposal, and APP
ply.for this purpose-and get the seed
sown as soon they can get the land
well prepared and put into good filth.
Presupposing that the land, is in a
proper state of fertility, there are
points that may be considered Of alb
solute importance in the production
of a good crop Of wheat, first, good
filth; second, early sowing, and third,
distribute the seed evenly and cover
it a. good depth. Having thus
promptly and seasonably taken ad-
vantage of the proper " seed time, I"
we may confidently rely upon the full
fllment of the concluding promise,
that harvest shall never fail. Il 4
