ing at Lyndon begins on Sunday, Sept.

CoNCERT.-N. w. Leavitt is in the
vicinity again with his mammouth con-
cert troupe-presenting one of the fin
est attractions that travels. His
troupe performed at Craftsbury on
Saturday last. We hope he will be
here soon.
LowELL.-The Sabbath school pic.
mic passed off as pleasantly, on the
4th, as could well be expected. 1t
was an extremely warm dusty day.
The committee to look out place for
picnic were much perpleXed to select
one most comfortable or one the least
uncomfortable to reach and enjoy al
ter getting there. The dust was so
great that they decided, the shorter
the march the better. The entertain
ment was ample, and of that countless
variety which only the ladies know
how to prepare. The school from
Westfeld and one from Troy united
in the picnic. Various estimates
Of the number present, We're made,
ranging from 600 to 1000. Every
thing was quiet and civil. Such Gel
ebrations seem to us to be more civil
izing than the gladiatorial shows that
are getting so frequent on the 4th.-
Those, in the form of the hurdle races,
are little better than the Spanish bull
fights.
ACCIDENT.-One day last week, j.
A. Souther of Lowell had taken his
horses off from the moving machine
and was riding one of them towards
his house, for dinner, when the ami
NAL showed signs,of being refractory
he even refused TO 90 down a little
space of descending ground. After
some efforts to get him down, he rear
ed and fell down and died at once
He was fine grey animal and an ex-
cellent family and farm horse.
MINERAL SPRINGs.-It is hoped that
in few days the mineral springs in
Lowell will be brought out. There
was a great body of rock that appears
to have been undermined by the river
and fallen off. From behind this slide
the water appears to come. The pros
pect is now, that few days worE
more will remove this rock, and thel
it is hoped there will be found waite
OF much more powerful medicinal prop
critics than any before secured.
BLOOD SToCK.-Mr. Duncan Bu
chanan of Albany, has purchased Of
Mr.. j. F. Sanderson of Compton, I
O., one COW and two calves, and COY
Of Mr.. Pomeroy of the same place.
One Of the cows is half Ayrshire an
half Durham the other COW is hig
grade Durham; one of the calves is
full-blooded Ayrshire bull from tn
stock imported by Hon. A. L. Gal
and bred by Gillespie Of Scotland
The other calf is from a grade Du
ham COW and A. II. Cochran's bul
Western Prince.
ACCIDENT.--We learn that Mr..
M. Currier of East Hardwick, We
badly injured by being thrown fro
a horse week ago last Monday
When taken up it was thought he W;
dead, but he is still alive.
GONE TO New YoRK.-Mr. W.
Tinkham, who for so many years b;
been in the employ of the Passumps
railroad Co., left this place on la
Friday, for the railroad between Ne
York and Albany, where he has be-
employed by Com. Vanderbilt to tai
charge of a portion of that road
much better wages than he receive
here. Mr.. Tinkham is thorough-g
ING business man, and whose loss '
doubt not will be felt by the compa
he has served so long and faithful
We wish him all good luck in his ne
home.
PUBLICATION DAY CHANGED

Brighton being changed from Tu

people of Craftsbury and Albany,
