celebration of the town of Reading. Mass,
exhumed some curious items Of early his

development Of new manufacture in
that section Of the State: E. C. Merrill
of West Charleston is now preparing to
do a large business in the manufacture Of
emery homes, knife strops, scythe rifles
and several kinds Of polish. The mine
containing an inexhaustible supply of the
stone is situated in Westmore, but his
works are located in the village Of West
Charleston. He has been putting in new
machinery for saving the homes and for
crushing the stone and sitting the sand.
The very dust is saved, making the very
finest and choicest polish. The homes
are sufficiently fine for the incest razor
edge. while from the different grades,
surfaces are manufactured suitable for
all tools, from needles eye to the axe or
scythe. They Same may be said Of
the polish-it can be found adapt.

DEATH oF JuDGe BENNETT. The
Darlington Times thus announces the
death of Judge Bennett; II isbW short
time ago that Judge Bennett was about
our streets walking yigurouSly-and
promising years Of life even at his ad-
vanoed age with his strength of eonstitu-
ton and cheerful spirits nobody expected
to hear OF his death when he had gone 10
visit his son for health and recreation.
And he is gone with the multitude whom
death has struck from our society within
the last eighteen months
He was born Ia Litchfeld Co. Con, J
that cradle and nursery of great men in
former times. lie was classmate at
Yale and at Judge Reeves law school,
of Samuel 5. Phelps and a host
Of such men. and came To Manchcs-
ter. VT, to practice his profession. More
than fifty years since We find his name in
the Vermont Reports and he was always
considered an able and learned lawyer,
lie was Tor many years States Attorney
for Bennington Co, and his disapproba-
tion and indignation at the violations of
law was net supposed to be diminished
by his especial function to prosecute its
violators
Elected "a Judge of the Supreme
Court Of the State, he held the place for
twenty years. He was not always salts
factoS as a nia srius Judge. But his
opinions as they stand recorded in our re-
ports are really among the ablest that can
be found in American reports of his time.
Strength. simplicity and a cRriosa tt'ici-
tGs Of language were remarkably charac-
teristic of John Bennett with his pen in
his hand, and his opinions will have
weight and authority until It shall seem
best TO discard law and rule altogether.
And Judge Bennett was right good
man. He was Christian man, and he
has exchanged this world for oue far bet
ter.

ACCIDENT on THE RUTLAND AND
WASHINGTON RAILROAD. - The Troy
Wing d Wednesday gives the following
account of an accident ON the Rutland
and Washington Railroad on Tuesday
morning last An accident of most Sc
rious character, probably involving the
lives of three persons, occurred to the
passenger train on the Rutland and
Washington Railroad due here at 4:35
o'clock yesterday morning, by the dis
placement of arail between Eagle Bridge
and Cambridge. The casualty occurred
at about 81 o'clock, while the train was
proceeding at moderate rate of speed.
Four cars were thrown off the track-the
baggage car, two passenger coaches, and
the sleeping car. The road bed at the
point where the accident occurred, runs
upon level tract of land, over which the
cars rolled and tumblcd, but fortunately
there was no steep embankment, as at
Angola and Carr's Rock, for them to
plunge down headlong to ruin and
destruction. In all it is believed
that there were some ten or dozen
passengers injured majority of
them only slightly, as fears are expressed
for the fate of only three of the victims.
These are an old woman injured about
the head, who was left insensible at Eagle
Bridge, and whose name is unknown, and
two men with severe internal wounds.
They were taken to Cambridge, and we
have been unable to learn either their
names or places Of residence. The re-
mainder of the passengers were brought
to this city 10y a special engine sent over
the Troy Il Boston Road. The passenger
coaches were considerably broken, and
the baggage car entirely demolished by
the accident. The wreck Of the latter car
lies upon the others, and it is feared pos
sibly there may be some one under it who
had not beon rescued when the train bear
ing the unfortunate passengers to the city
left the scene Of the disaster.

GAS LIGHT rs. MOONILGHT.-Not know
ing anything about the contract be-
tween the Gas Company and the city of
Wheeling, we shall not attempt to say
a word about it. But one thing does
look surprisingly strange to US, and that
is this: When there is moonlight a por-
tion of the night We find that the gas is
not lighted at ALL On Sunday evening
people had considerable difficulty in
getting to Church. The moon had not
her silver brow above the
horizon, and the gas was not lighted, so
the church going people had to pick
their way the best they could. 1t does
seem to us that such proceedings must
be in violation of the contract. When
there is no moonlight there should be
gas light. Pedestrians find it very diff
cult getting along, especially where
there is building going on.

POLICE COURT.-Business somewhat
revived in this Court on Saturday
morning. Three cases were up for ex-
John Carmichael, charged with dis
orderly conduct, was fined 81 and cost
The two other cases were connected
together, being a kind of saloon con-
troversy, the entangling alliances of
which involved the parties arraigned
in the charge of disorderly conduct.
1t appeared that some gentlemen
went into a saloon to take social
drink, and while waiting at the bar for
the preparation of the beverage, anoth-
er party came in and rather crowded
into the company. The last mentioned
party, whose name, we believe, was
Hevener, being strongly under the in
fluence of liqaor, the person who was
doing the treating" refused to give
him, the said Hevener, any liquor. This
raised the "ebenezer" of Mr.. H., and he
began to abuse Mr.. link, the gen.
tleman who was doing the hon,
ors of the occasion. The clamorou:
individual, Mr.. H. called Mr.. L. all the
hard names at his command, and NOV
ing near the door, Mr.. z. gave him a
push and told him he had better &c
home to his wife. But II. did not think
so. He returned to the saloon and
took hold of Mr. Z. in a very bellicost
manner, and threw him on the floor
Mr.. Z. then hid from his view, aud II
was persuaded to go home. The Judge
fined H. $40 and cost, and dismissed
the case of Mr.. 4.

CUT SuoRT.-The fine weather that
we were Boosting of on last Saturday
morning WAS cut short quite abruptly.
At midnight, on Friday, the sky was
clear and the moon shone in all her
loneliness. But before six o'clock on
Saturday the rain was descending in
torrents and continued SO all day and a
portion of Saturday night. On Sunday
it turned quite cool, and some snow
fell.

truly unfortunate for the Battles, as
they had their minds made up for vic
