Of a fire in Walden on the 31st ult.

in the Foster neighborhood, was en-
tirely consumed with all the house

some $4OO Or $500 in government
bonds, belonging to Mrs. G. The

temporarily absent from the house
All the doors and windows of the
house were shut, and when the peo-
pie broke them open, they found eve

DEATH BY MoRPHINE.-On Thurs
day morning of last week, Loved Por-

of taking too much morphine. Dur
ing several years past Mr.. Porter has
been a great sufferer from asthma,
having the disease in its most aggra-
waiting form, seldom having the privi-
ledge of lying down to sleep. Recent
ly he has been in the habit of taking
morphine for relief, and by its use his
life has been rendered more comfort
able. Last Wednesday night, having
unusual distress, his wife gave him an
ordinary dose Of morphine, but it not
affording the relief expected, he soon
called for more, which his wife was re-
luctant to give, but being assured that

ACCIDENTS Bradford Buxton of
South Londonderry, while at work in
Farnum's chair shop on the 10th inst, had
his left arm severly bruised by being caught
between log and an axletree; and Mr..
John Farnu:n of the same place also met
with a severe injury, by fall, which dis
abled and nearly dislocated bis left thumb.
Both these gentlemen were insured in the
Travellers Insurance Co., at Hartford,
CT, and the former has received ten dol
lars, and the latter about forty dollars
compensation money, promptly paid by
this company. Thus we see another in
stance of the benefits Of Accident Insu-
rance, and those in South Londonderry
and vicinity wanting any kind of an insu-
rance policy, should call on L. W. Holden.
The advertisement of the Travellers Acct
dent Insurance Co., will also be found in

Nor ABANDoNED.-Our article Of last
week on the new county project has
brought out the friends Of that measure
with rush, among them Hugh Henry,
Esq, of Chester, whose communication
win be found on second page. Our arti-
Gle was based upon one in the Woodstock
Standard, as stated, but in the Standard
of last week we observe it makes cor
rection of lis former statement as TO the
remarks of Maj. Rounds, in substance
same as stated in Mr.. Henry's article.
The Windsor journal of last week also
has letter from Maj. Rounds himself
making similar correction. We hear
also that in some of the southern towns of
Windsor County considerable feeling pre-
walls on the subject, and some talk Of an
independent county ticket, but it is not
probable however, that any formal action
will be taken. A petition is now being
circulated to see whether the people gen.
orally in the towns concerned desire new
county, or any change in county lines.
The petition is SO formed as to embrace, il
desirable, remodeling of county lines
throughout the entire length of the east
side of the State.

ACCIDENT INsuRANcE.--We would

ally would we commend the company
there mentioned to all railroad men.
They are all placed at uniform rate, so
that whatever may be the cause of an ac-
cidenl by any sudden change of duties on
a train, they secure their insurance all the
same, different in this respect we believe
from any other company. Mr.. Dan
Arms, station agent at the depot, is agent
for this company, and will be glad to give

Mrs. FLEToHER's CAsE.-The case
State v. Mrs. III. d. Fletcher charged
with larceny, in stealing parasol, pending
when we went to press last week, resulted
in her discharge, as we supposed it would.
But for her previous reputation probably
no arrest would have been made. 1t APP
peared that she was coming up from
Keene, N. H., on the ten o'clock train and
that Miss Smith came up also ON the
same train on her way to her home in
Berkshire. The two set on seats opposite
each other in one end of sic eping car,
and just before arriving at this place, both
went to the other end of the car to get
water. Mrs. Fletcher asked to drink first
as she was to get off here, the cars then
Stacking up, and also suggested to Miss
Smith that she had better wash her, q re-
mark which Miss S. thought rather singu-
lar for ore stranger to make to another,
and the theory of the prosecution was
that this was for the purpose of occupying
Miss S., and thus secure time for her pur-
pose in stealing the parasol. However
she went back, took Mrs. Smiths parasol
left on the seat, and carried it home. Miss
Smith very soon after, discovering her
loss, made it known to conductor Aldrich,
and few days after Mr.. Aldrich took
officer Taylor with search warrant and
went to her house and there fond the
parasol Oh table in her parlor, and she
was then arrested. Mrs. Fletchers YER
sion of this matter was that she took the
parasol by mistake suprosing it to be hers,
and Offered testimony in court that she
made known the discovery that she had
made mistake, Immediately on her arri-
val home. One witness also swore that
he saw her have parasol on the train be-
low Keene, and this evidence not being
impeachcd, made out an apparent mistake
in the eye of the law, which always give:
the accused the benefit of any doubt, bu
majority of the eye of the public
doubtless have different opinion. TIL,

days before Justice w. ii. johnson. Hon

The confidence with which she took the
