Trout Breeding.

Mr.. EDITOR will you allow me a
brief space in the TINES to state n few
facts, which may be ,f Interest to some of
your readers, and no doubt be in unison
with the opinion u every honest fisher
man.
Mr.. Bridgman may be a good angler, a
lover Of sporting in general and friend
of the trout, but the mode adopted by him
to stock his brook or pond must be object
ed to by any one who has had any exper-
ence in the matter. The brooks Of YER
mont were never intended to be Melted or
hooked for the purpose of stocking any
body's pond.
Small tront-too small to fry may be
brought to him alive, and he will pay
their value,-thus the advertisement
reads.
Now the first fact is, that trout caught in
the manner usual in Vermont and then trans
planted, ,eiU not spawn the first or second
season, while the spa,cn from trout if de-
posted in living brook or pond well
supplied, will not only come forth, but will
themselves deposit spawn at ten months
of age.
The second fact is, that the spawn from
a single trout from Rangely, Capsuptic or
Sandy Lakes in Maine, will furnish more
trout in six months, than could be furnish
ed by the combined efforts Of all the boys
from Bellows Falls to Grafton il two
years.
The third fact is, that the trout from the
rivers and lakes / have named, are far su-
perior as fish, in shape and size than any
in Vermont, their spawn is as easily OBJ
tanned and at less expense.
| expect to be contradicted in the first
part of the statement, but not by any one
who has had the experience of both Maine
and Vermont trouting.
never saw Air. Bridgmau and of course
have nothing of a personal feeling in the
matter, but my love of fishing and the
preservation of the little trout which
made my young heart leap and my later
years pleasant, have induced me to send
YOU this line. HARRY's BoY.

SUICIDE.-The wife of Mr.. A. G.
Whitney of West Dummerston was found
dead in her room on Friday last, having
destroyed her life by cutting her throat
with a razor Her husband was at work
at the time and there was no one in the
house but little girl. Mrs. Whitney's
death is severe loss to her husband and
the young child she left. She was subject
to sickness and fits of melancholy, and
probably committed the deed while in an
irrational frame of mind, as no other cause
can be assigned.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN Danny
Last Saturday morning, Benajah Colvin,
man " years old, who resided with his
son, Nelson Colvin, Esq, took his axe
and went into the woods, some distance
from the house, and attempted to fell a
dry elm tree, or rather part of two trees,
the tree, at about the usual height of the
stump, separating and forming two trees.
His son was away from home when he
left for the woods, and on his return, at
about one o'clock, P. NJ, he, with Mr.. AL
bert Colvip, went Immediately to the
woods, and found his father sitting upon
the ground, with his skull broken in, and
entirely senseless. He was conveyed 10
the house, and two surgeons sent for, who
upon their arrival, did all that could be
done, but pronounced the case hopeless.
lie fingered along till Sunday, at 1-2
o'clock, z. NJ, when he died. 1t appears
! that he had cut one of the stems or trees,
some 16 inches in diameter, from the
stump. but it being partly twisted around
other branches, did not fall; so he got a
rail from the fence and pried i. off from
the stump, and as it fell it caused limb
of some three inches in diameter and six
teen feet in length TO fall, which struck
him on the head, and broke the skull bone
upon the right side near the top, and near
the whole length of the head. He was
seen at work, and had the tree nearly cut
from the stump some l2 or hours be-
fore he was found. He remained entirely
senseless until he died.

CHEsTER-The Chester singing school.
under the direction of Mr.. Holmes of
Grafton, closed on Wednesday evening,
March goth, with public sing, consisting
of songs, Solos, Duets, Quartettes, &c,
together with the exercises of the class.
To speak of these separately would ie-
ouire more time and space than necessary.
1t is enough to say they were finely exc
cuteI. Mr.. Holmes had not, as many
teachers would have done, given all the
last of his school in preparation tor con-
cert or an evening show, hence his sing
| was more a eview, and its success was the
result Of correct and careful training, not
something learned for the occasion. The
school has been very excellent one. As
a teacher, Mr.. Holmes is very successful,
and his close and constant drill, united
with good taste in his selections OF music,
must render him popular teacher

LIBERALITy OF New YORK MER-
cHANT.-The donations Of Mr.. Z. w.
Bancroft towards eniarging and repairing
the Congregational Church in this place
amount to over sixteen hundred and fifty
dollars. Mr. Bancroft is a prosperous
merchant, and we like TO see such men
prosper, He segan his successful career
in Paper Mill Village, n. IL, and it is
said his capacity for mercantile pursuits
cropt out then wben but fifteen or sixteen
years of age. We have been told that
when hard customer came along, whom
the proprietor, an elderly man could not
manage, he was turned over to the boy
clerk, and hence those disposed to be face
tiou-, used to call the proprietor of the
store " Ed. Bancroft's boy"
His pluck and energy, we understand
were often manifested before he left his
home in Grafton. His father kept the
Post Office and the mail had to be sent
four miles to a certain point by private
conveyance. Sometimes when the horse
could not go either from snow-dritts or
some other cause, aud it was thought the
mail must lie over day or two, Edward
would then, though mere lad, seize the
mail bag aad throwing it ever his shout
der, push off nothing daunted, and carry
/ tho N, oil IN lite destination Thus many n
hardy farmer was kept in good temper by
the boy, because when starving for his
newspaper, he gets it at the regular time,
and the lo.e-sick swain, SO fearful that
the mail can't get along" also receives his
expected letter from his Dulcinea, and
both deyour their contents around the
cheerful freside, while the boy Edward,
happy in the performance Of duty, trudges
back breasting the storm. This spunky
boy is now connected with one of the lar
gest wholesale goods establishments in
New York city. He also has very extern
sive iron works in New Jersey. He gives
literally we understand to have the gospel
preached in the place where the works
are situated. He seems to carry an opea
purse for every good cause. The Congre-
ga'ional society in this place, is fortunate
E 10 having SO generous a patron, and we
can assure Mr.. Bancroft that his gifts are
, most gratefully appreciated.

LIFE ISsURANcE-C Correct oR.--There
was a material error in the article copied
from the Insurance Monitor last week,
which, though it may have been SO obvious
that most readers make the correction for
themselves, would be greaS injustice to
nostexeellent Company, if we did not cor
rect it ourselves which we hasten to do. In
speaking of the claims by death paid by
them last year, it was printed eight thou
sand deRars," when it should have read
eight hundred thousand dollars, which is
rather nearer the scale of business they DO
than the other statement. This Company
Is certainly among the best in this country,
and we would not only cordially commend
it as such but also refer all who may wish
TO effect Life Insurance te Mr.. II. III. Stone
who is their agent for this place and
vicinity.

THE TABLEAUX.-The Tableaux given
by the yoang ladies and gentleman, at
Wishtmans Hall, on Thursday evening,
of last week, were a fine success and
agreeable entertainment The scenes from
Hamlet, Blue Beard and others, were well
got up and some of them decidedly i'm
pre.siye. The two declarations by Wal
ter Pierce and A. Il. Roy, were very
excellent indeed The first was The Mad
Man by Pierce who acquitted hiRiself very
handsomely, and who, by request repeated
the same. Roy's piece was The Warriors
Bride, which he has rehearsed on several
occasions during the past winter, but we
kad not heard it before, and do not wonder
it has been received with SO nuch favor.
The battle scene in it is intensely thrill
ling and was fully preserved by the de-
claimtr There was fair attendance but
not so large as the merits of the exhibition
deserved.
