RoBBEp.-Last week, Thursday or
Friday, Mr.. w. F. Paige, well known to
our citizens, son of S. f. Paige, formerly
of Felchville, was knocked down and
robbed of $1,000, his watch, and every
thing of value which he happened to
have about him. The particulars are as
fellows: Some four or five months ago
Mr.. Paige left Rutland for Chicago, in-
tending to 60 into business there. He
soon engaged in the buying and selling
of produce. Having considerable but
ter on hand, he started from Chicago foi
the purpose of disposing of it. AT
town some fifty miles west Of that city
he found n purchaser, and sold his but
ter, receiving about $1,000 therefor. The
town being small, he could not deposit
the money, and so placed it In his peck
ct and took his teams and started fol
home. 1t was nearly dark when hi
started and, while going through a piece
of woods, his horse was suddenly stop
ped, the click of a pistol was heard, anl
then demand for his money. MIR. I
reached back of him to get his own PTS
toll, but before he could do SO, received
severe blow from behind, cutting a lon
and deep cash in his head, and rendering
him perfectly unconscious. While Il
this condition he was dragged from tn
wagon, robbed of everything, and lei
LAYING upon the ground. How long Il
law there he was unable to say. Whe
he came to himself he managed to craV
into his wagon, drove to the nearest raj
rood station, where his wounds wei
dressed, and from thence to his home
Chicago. He is getting along very wei

ANDoyER.--Our correspondent HalP'
says in explanation Of having had three
teachers in district No. 4, that il was in
no way the fault of the district, the first
teacher having left because of the sick
ness of her mother, and the second only
intended to keep till they could get an
other.
Miss Eliza /. Stickney has opened a
select school at the centre Of the town
which deserves to be well patronized.
The new Baptist church at Peasville,
which was finished last summer, is not
only an ornament to the place, but an
example of what faith and perseverance
will accomplish The society had need
ed the church for long time, and its
erection is due mainly to the efforts of
their pastor, Rev. Mr.. Walker.
A clergyman in village not fifty
miles from Andover, while speaking OF
the late earthquake in South America in
one of his sermons, said, This was so
far off that we think but little about it,
but what should we think if it had been
here, and swallowed us all up?"

THIEVES IN WALPoIE-There was
quite temporary excitement on Friday
of last week, among that portion of the
people of Walpolc on the river road be-
low the village leading to Westmoreland.
1t appears that at about four o'clock in
the afternoon two young men called at
the house of Mr.. Dwinnell and called
for something to eat, at the same time
saying they would pay for it. Mrs.
Dwinnell, who was alone in the house at
the time, (the men folks being at the
barn. got them some victuals, in doing
which she was absent from the room a
moment. Having finished their meal
they paid for the same and left the house
In about ten minutes after, Mrs. ID. dis,
covered that a watch, belonging to hei
son, Mr.. A. Dwinnell, and which had
been hung up in the room, was missing
She Immediately informed her husband
and son at the barn. and they started il
pursuit of the thieves, at the same tim,
notifying their neighbors. A Mr.. Bootl
first came up with them at crossin.
near Gardner Halls, and charged then
with the theft, whereupon each drew ,
revolver and swore they would shoot tn,
first person that attempted to touch them
Meantime achievements were arriving
who also had firearms, and the tw
thieves retreated on the run, but droppet
the watch, doubtless thinking that woulC
stop pursuit, but the chase was eontin
ued when the thieves, finding they wer
losing ground, turned and fired on thei
pursuers, who in turn fired on the thieve
and an exciting running fight was thu
kept up ON both sides till some fifteen O
twenty shots had been fired, when tn
thieves gained piece of woods, and be
ing dark made their escape, though tn
chase was kept UP for while in tn
woods. 1t was thought by his action
that one Of the thieves were wounded
but there is no certainty about it. N
one of the pursuing party was injured
The skirmish was quite exciting for fe'
moments, and that perhaps accounts f.
the fact that the shots were not more e
fective. They are thought to be tn
same persons seen in Keene and Yves
moreland the day before, on the night {
which John Colony's house near Keen
village was broken into, and also anotl
er house in Westmoreland. They al
no doubt desperate characters, and ii
battle very naturally made quite an es
citement in the neighborhood where
occurred.

COUNTY Court. The county court
adjourned on Saturday evening. The
concluding proceedings will be found
elsewhere. On Tuesday morning of last
week, George Shearer, who had been con-
vieted of stealing cattle, broke jail and
escaped. 1t appears that with o jack
knife he cut through a hard two-inch
oak plank, and dug through brick
wall in the rear end Of the jail 1t is
thought he must have worked with great
perseverance for many days. Albert
Shipman, arrested for several thefts in
Westminster, was convicted of stealing
a harness of John Perry in that town,
and sentenced one year TO State prison.
Shipman was in Jail at the time Shearer
escaped, but declined to avail himself of
the opportunity thus offered, and was the
first to give warning of the escape.
There are still four indictments hanging
over him, one for stealing horse from
Ambrose Arnold, one for stealing anoth-
err harness from S. X. Cobb, another for
stealing wagon from Guy Clark, all in
Westminster, and also another for steal
ing horse from Mr.. Davis, of Georgia,
VT. Samuel Fisk, the accomplice OF
Shearer in stealing cattle in Guilford,
was sentenced to State prison for five
years.
