A REAUTIFUI, RUILDNG-We n

A BEAUTIFUL BUILDNG.-We men,
toned last summer that Horace Fair
banks was about to erect a beautiful
public building ON St. Johnsbury Plain,
which was to be used as a library,
hall. lecture room, &c. We took the
rumor from st. Johnsbury people, and
found afterwards we were a little too
fast, as it was contradicted by the
Caledonian, which we presumed was
better informed on that subject than
we were. 1t seems however that the
work has now commenced On it. Its
location is to be just south of the
bank. 1t is to be 46 by sc and con-
tain an eight feet basement, which will
come five feet above the ground, with
two stories above the basement, and
covered with beautiful French roof.
Mr.. Fairbanks is never vociferous In
his manner of doing business and con.
sequently the public do not know just
what kind of a building they are 90.
ing to have. But it will contain a
large audience hall, a library, reading
rooms, &c. 1t will unquestionably be
the most elaborate piece of architec
ture in the town, costing, as We are
informed, considerably more than the
court house. The citizens understand
that Gov. Fairbanks left large sun
of money in the hands of his execu
tors to be appropriated in this way
1t is noble bequest, which the citi
zens of that beautiful village will no
tail TO appreciate.-Lyndon Union.

NICE JOB PRNTING.-We can do

ment in northern Vermont. We have
the best type, the best presses, the
most reliable printers, the incest ink,
the best stock and determination to
excel. We challenge any one to beat
US. We have however within few
weeks turned off one or two jobs that
are disgrace to the Office, because
we have had the misfortune to have in
employ the past winter one who, tho
receiving pay Of US was all the time
working in the interest of rival of

jobs for the purpose of injuring thu

APPALLING Academia most sA
and fatal accident occurred at Caveu-
dish on Monday evening at about !
O'Clock. Mrs. Albina Knights. wife
of Horatio Knights, and Miss Ellen
NJ. Cary, both operatives in james
Felton's wooden mill, proposed the z
| plot of crossing the mill pond in Z
boat, the water being high and tie
current strong from so large flow
over the dam. Being ready to start
they urged other friends to ride with
them who not only refused, but ear
nestly urged them not to make the at
tempt. They did not, however, share
in the fears of their friends, and push
ed off their boat, waving their hand
kerchiefs in salutation and bidding
" good bye" to those on shore. Then
followed one Of the most painful and
thrilling scenes which ever occurred
in Vermont. They had got but
short distance when it was perceived
that the current was carrying them
down, but they did not appear to no
tice it. Nearer and nearer they ap-
preached the dam till Miss Cary rose
and jumped out Of the boat. The
strong current Immediately carried
her over. Mrs. Knights remained in
the boat, and just before it made the
fatal plunge, seemed to faint and fall
back as it went over carrying her to
watery grave with her friend, or pos
sibly she may have thrown herself III
to the bottom of the boat, with posi-
BILE hope that in that condition she
might escape. Both were seen once
several rods below the dam, the eur.
} rent carrying them very rapidly down
into the rocky gorge known as Cav
Cndish Falls. The feelings of those
who witnessed this scene. who were
utterly powerless to render assistance,
may perhaps be imagined but certain
ly not described. The bodies have
cot been recovered.-Be iious FGlIs

An account Of a recent Democratic
consultation at Albany says:
"Gov. Seymour, in the course of
conversation, took decided ground in
favor of the nomination of Chief JUS
tice Chase for the Presidency by the
Democratic Convention. He thought
Chase, in view of his recent action
and his Democratic antecedents, just
the man to rally upon. 1t would pre-
sent to the American people the issue
of the Judiciary against military pow

mour thought Pendleton, by aiding in
thus harmonizing the anti-radical ele-
ments, would make himself the great
leader of his party in the future. In
the course of conversation it was hint
ed that the platform upon which Mr..
Chase would stand would be accepta

Advertiser this afternoon relative to
his testimony before the Impeachment
Managers. and its presentation to the
house 10y Nh Butler Oh Monday, He
says:
In explanation of the propositions
made to myself. have this to say :
senator Pomeroy either intended to
dispose of three voteS-including his
own-or he was willing his friends
should use his name to make money
or, as some believe, there was con
spiracy between Butler and Pomeroy
to implicate the president, thus ob.
tanning new material for impeachment
Ny reasons for this belief are that
some months since Mr.. Leggett, an in
innate friend Of senator Pomeroy, wa,
after the appointment Of postmaster
at Leaveuworth, Kansas. He wa;
supported 10y Mr.. Pomeroy, who wrote
letter-which was shown to the post
master general-promising his { Pom
eroy's) vote for the presidential con
irmation and his influence against i'm
parchment. The postmaster genera
was furnished with copy of senate
Pomeroy's letter, copied from the orr
ginaI in his possession, and Legget
received postal agency some few
weeks ago. Legett appeared befor
Col. Cooper with letter from sena
tor Pomeroy saying he would carr
out in good faith any arrangement
made with Mr.. Gaylor, who is Pomel

ever they could lay their hands upon.
The curtains were found in an adjOin-
ing pasture, torn into shreds. The
cause of this demonstration can only
be conjectured, but it is presumed it
grew out of the enforcement of the
prohibitOry law. We trust Echo
