tracked and freed five raccoons, and succeeded
by cutting down the tree, in killing and
capturing the entire lot The largest coon
weighed 204 pounds, and the lot pulled the
balance at 90 pounds. We call that success
fdl coon hunting for boys, and if any body's
boys hereabouts have beaten this hunt. the
boys viii try again
A FAST GRL.-We learn that last week a
girl only IA years Of age was arrested in
Washington for q larceny committed in Brad
ford, tried in Bradford and sentenced to the
Reform School at Waterbury whittier she
was taken By Sheriff Barron of Washington,
only TO be refused admittance on account Of
sex. Sheriff Barron at last advices was
again taking the girl TO Bradford for further
orders.
An ACCIDENT AID ALMOST 4 CATAsrRo-
Png.-Last Friday afternoon, the express
train South, VIII lie between this village and
NOrthield, stopped to put OF an = impecuni-
Gus individual who refused to disgorge the
customary fare, and while thus detained,
was run into by Q gravel train going the
same way. Nobody was killed, but all were
badly frightened. A baggage car in the rear
of the train was sadly g demoralized, - in
fact generally wrecked, and two Reverend
gentlemen in the next car, VINO saw the ap-
preaching danger, and endeavored to fee
from it, were brought co all flying, and put
through sundry sumnersaults among the
seats, more energetic and involuntary than
shey were graceful or pleasant to the actors
When at length order from chaos came, the
train limped along it's way, and as the I'M
Impossible conductor resumed his rounds
among the passengers to gather up mis- tick
cts. the blessings" he got from the cid
ladies on board, will absolye him from the
necessity OF resOrting TO the clergy for q six
months. In fact it would be an open dues-
ZION for a discussion In a village lyceum
whether the railroad officials or the =. inpe-
cunious individual had the beat of it.
NICE CLOrHING,-We invite attention 20
the notices Of j. g. FRBNcH's Clothing, Fur

advertising columns. Mr.. French has an
excellent stock of goods. a nd guarantees sat-
isiactory bargains to all who patronize him.
He has withal superior taste in fitting out
his customers in suits that please the eye,
while they do Mt entirely impoverish the
purse. We have tested his goods, and can
unhesitatingly recommend them.
A NICE DIAgY.-We have received from
Mr. Atkins. whose place of business is oppo-
site the new bethany Church in this village,
a very nice and handsomely-b bound Pocket
Diary for 1869. The Diary Is all that heart
could desire, and the only drawback On cur
happiness is the lack Of the appropriate
w~herewithal to fill out its nice, but yet lank
looking sides for ii has suitable partitions
for greenbacks and currency, and silver and
gold. etc. etc. Can not our subscribers ap-
preciate the 4" situation" and MI up the
MEASURE of our happiness and the sides Of the
diary at one and the same time? We pause
for a reply. And while we wait, we will oc-
cupp the time by saying that MIR. Atkins not
only keeps for sale these nice large diaries,
but also a great variety of smaller and cheap
CT ones. just suited to the wants and tastes
Of all the people OF this section, and he
claims to sell them at the owest prices.
