There is to be something O: a celcbra-
tlon at Newport the 18th. The principal
attraction will be Canada w!,iskey. Fare
one way over the Passumpsic road.
Yesterday morning very ludicrous
and laughable scene $50 eyewitness in
form us) occurred near the depot in
Newport. The principal actors were
custom house officials, from Derby Line
and this village, the bone OF contention
being few hcrses belonging to Clough
u FieldS, which they desired to car and
take to market. The horses were pur-
chased in Canada and entered TO the sat
lstactlon OF the custom officers here, and
the duties paid accordingly They pro-
ceeded TO car the horses. VIXEN Captain
Foster, officer from Derby Line, assisted
by officer Mason, appeared on the scene,
and by beating the horses upon their
heads, and otherwise frightening them,
attempted to prevent them from being
put upon the train, claiming that the
horses had been entered at undervalua-
ton, and had also passed the office at
Derby Line, where they should have
been entered. Captain Woodbury., who
mad taken the entrance here, asserted
that everything was right, and the horses
could proceed. High words ensued. when
" oodbury, who has but one arm. seized
Foster around the body and to the great
merrment of the byStanlers started with
him from the platform. lie held him for
some time in his iron grasp, till Foster
managed to escape minus his coat in sew
craI pieces. No blows were struck. only
upon tile horses, though any amount of
temper, we conclude, was exhibited, and
considerable squabbling by either party
to carry their point. Virtually neither
party yielded, but the managers of the
train, finding the officers would seize the
horses and the train if they proceeded.
refused to take the horses Oh board. and
Foster took possession Of them. We
learn that Woodbury. and Foster have
