| On New Years evening, there was d ball at
Washington Hail. 1t seems the persons getting
it up avsiled themselves Of the privilege of in
viting whom they pleased Gentlemen wishing
to enjoy themselves in . social wsy generally
like 10 pick their company. 1t seems csrtsin
. set" Of fast young men received no invitation,
slight, in revenge for which they undertook to
break theparty up. They stole their way surrep-
titiously, between eleven and twelve Clock at
night, into the gas works, and turned off the gas,
not only putting Washington Hall in darkness,
but the whole city Information was given to
an employe Of the gas company, and in ten or
fifteen minutes the gas was turned on again
But before this had been done, the Hall had beon
lighted with kerosene lamps; and the rowdies
had the boldness to enter the Hall and put these
out. The flow Of gas being restored, however
the party went on without further Interruption
The rowdies in question were we presume
more or less under the influence of liquor, and
probably took no thought of all the consequences
their movements involved. For instance, we
have heard of at least four cases where they mar
rowly escaped being murderers and we have no
doubt there are other cases. The custom is quite
common for persona on goius to bed to turn down
the gas, leaving small jet burning, to be read
lily turned on in case Of necessity to get up in the
night The gas being turned off at the works
puts the jet cut but on the flow being restored,
the gas escapes into the room, and, in the case,
at least, Of good sleepers, in bed room Of ordi-
nary size, the result is almost inevitable asphyx-
il and death. There were several narrow escapes
of that kind on Wednesday night.
The names of these rowdies are well known
Whether they will be prosecuted, and made ex-
amples Of, or not, rests mainly with the gas COM
pany. Should their leniency allow them to 90 un-
whipt fjustioe this tine the public, whose safe
y is also involved, will not tolerate repetition
Of such mistaken lsniency
After the above was writtsn-yesterday-
learned that warrants had been issued, at the in
stance of the city authorities for the arrest Of the
young mon suspected to BE- the guilty parties in
tho above outrage, and one Of them was brought
to trial before Police Magistrate Leavens. The
evsidnce elected not only established has guilt,
but revealed the napss Of al the rest eonesrnsd
in the affair, who are nov also to have trial. In
the case trisd Jadss Lsa-ens fined shs young

BoDY Fouvp.-On Sunday aftornoon

BODY FouND.--On Sunday afternoon
last at about five o'clock, suit of
clothes was found on the banks of the
river in Westminster, a few miles below
TINS village, and every appearance indi-
Gated that somebody had committed sui
eide at that place. We were informed
OF the discovery Sunday evening, and
Immediately informed the parties of
notice which had appeared in the Rut-
land Herald on Friday and Saturday
last, and which notice had attracted our
particular attention both days. On Mon.
day morning body was found floating
some distance below where the clothes
were found. Meantime, messages had
been sent to Henry Clarke of the Her.
aid, Cwho was at Burlington and the re-
suit was, the friends of the deceased
came down on the early train Tuesday
morning and identified the body as that
OF Rev. N. P. Campfeld, a Presbyterian
clergyman of Cazenovia, N. Y. The act
was undoubtedly done in % state of in
sanity brought on by severe mental la
Dor. He is said to have been a man
held in high esteem by all who knew
him. He was about % or 80 years of
age, He went to Saratoga for his health
from which place he suddenly disappear
ed leaving articles of value and fare
well note to his wife, but probably for
got his watch. Nothing was further
known of him till his watch was receiv-
ed from him by mail from Rutland
when on inquiry it was ascertained that
he had been at the jewelry store of
Clark u Co., Rutland, and bought box
suitable for sending the watch, and had
also mailed it at the post office there on
Saturday, Aug. 29th, since which no
trace of him could be had till the find
ing of the clothes above mentioned.
The above facts appearing in the Her
aid, and the finding of watch key in
the clothes were among the first evidences
which led to Identification His insanity
had been noticeable for some time. Rev.
ID. b. Campfeld, father of the deceased,
took the body at Westminster depot, on
Tuesday afternoon to Newark N. J. for
interment.

MoNTPELIER.-There was long pull
the longest pull in the State-in Mont
pelier this year for representative. They
ballotted all night till nearly IL o'clock
on Wednesday before choice was made.
The trouble was two republican candi-
dates, each of whom had more votes
than the democratic candidate. At 8
o'clock Wednesday morning, both the
republican candidates were withdrawn,
and on the next ballot, james r. Lang
don was elected by over 200 majority
The other republican candidates were
Hon. f. p Walton and Hon. Roderick
Richardson, each Of whom declined dur
ing the contest, and went for the other,
but their friends would not accept their
declination, and persisted in voting for
them till the two candidates themselves
unitedly presented the name of Mr..
Langdon.

The career of that well-known and
popular favorite company, The Equitable
Life Assurance Society of the United
States, 90 Broadway, New York, is I'M
precedented in the annals of Life Insur-
ance. Not yet nine years old, it has is
sued over thirty thousand policies, assur-
ing in the year 1867, alone over forty
seven millions of dollars. it has accum-
ulated cash assets of $1,000, 900, and en-
joys an annual income of $4,500,000.
Its business system is,all cash and pure
ly mutual. Those intending to insure
by life or endowment policies cannot
possibly do better than to make applica-
tions for their insurance in The Equitable,
90 Broadway.
Capt. Walter Taylor is agent for the
above company.

ANDovER.-A correspondent in An
dover, appends the following to bust
ness letter, of the crops, &c. in his vicin-
ity:
9 We are getting good crops in this
section generally. Hay is large crop,
but in consequence of much wet weather,
much of it stood late and got very ripe
before it could be cut, corn will be
heavy crop, and potatoes promise we'll.
We planteda field of corn the 18th, 18th,
and 18th, of June in five days it was
out of the ground and in four weeks it
stood three feet high, and the tassels were
out in sight, and in less than six weeks
the silks were out and on the 31st of
Aug. picked ripe corn, from that which
l planted June 18th. We planted the
common eight row corn. Now if any one
can get ripe corn in less time than that,
let us know it. The weather has been
rather warm for wheat, and think it will
be rather lgiht in this vicinity"
