possession of a chimney in Hartland The
inside dimensions were about 10 16 in
ches, and they filled the chimney for the
space of four feet in height with comb and
honey, entirely closing it. This spring
they were transferred to hive, bees and

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.-The reader will
r1-lrIUIiIDoz that L. ID. Partridge, Jr., an
insurance agent, got into difficulty up in
Orleans county few months ago, and his
little eccentricities having been chronicled
in the Barton Standard, he came to the
Caledonian for relief He got it-but just
how, it does not now matter. On Tuesday
of this week, Partridge having taken to him
self a wife, the twain started from Danville
on a bridal trip. Arriving at st. Johns
bury they essayed to take the mail train
south, when Sheriff Pike tapped the bride
groom on the shoulder and reminded him
of claim Corser had against him for the
clothes he wore. Partridge couldn't see the
Joke, and so the sheriff arrested him and
took him to the St. Johnsbury House where
he had opportunity to think the mater
over. Here he hit upon the manly expe-
dent ofmaking oath that he was not in
tending to leave the state, when he was re-
leased. A pretty little episode for we'd
ding day.-C aledonian
A WARM RECEPTIoN.-Last Saturday
prominent attorney of this county and an
assignee of an involuntary bankrupt in a
town not a great distance from Montpelier,
went to the house of the impecunious indi-
vidual's father to demand certain property
supposed to be in the hands of said father
for safe keeping. 1t was just at the dinner
hour, but the attorney, declining the cour-
teous invite to dine, proceeded to read the
list Of articles and animals, claimed as the
property of the bankrupt. The father lis
tened to the roll till becoming disguised
with It's length, he told the attorney he had
heard enough-he didn't think it quite
polite to read aloud about sheep and cattle
of the male gender before the ladies; and
starting for the stove poured pitcher of
water from the tea kettle and threw it into
the face and bosom of the reader Luckily
the clothes and whiskers of the lawyer in
some measure protected him, or he would
! have been much more seriously scalded.

! MISUNDERSTANDING about midnight,
while the steamer Whitehall, Capt J. Nc
| Naughton, with Il lumber tow from Canada,
was attempting to make this port, and
when about five miles out in the lake, dur
| ing the prevalence of the high gale which
was blowing at the time, two of the barges
she was towing broke away and were car
ried by the waves, one into the mouth of
/ the WinOosH river and the other into NAL
ieto'5 Dog, whore thoS- 'voaae ashore.
Both lost their deck boards of lumber
and shingles, though Sunday number of
men with boats, were engaged in picking
| it up, and meeting with some success. The
cargoes were consigned to L. Barnes & Co.
and Otis Shepherd & Co. The loss is esti-
mated at upwards of $4,000. The barges
were towed in this morning and the remain
der of their cargoes discharged.
We hear n report that another barge

RowDYIsM.-The Free Press gives the
following account of a 'little affair of hon
or which occurred between conductor
Parkhurst of the Rutland road and few
Burlington roughs:
quite row occurred at the South Dock
on Monday night, when a party of the
toughest kind of 'roughs" which our city
affords undertook to board and run" con-
ductor S. w. Parkhurst's train over the
Rutland railroad to Rutland. 'Sherm,
after expostulating with them and using
every fair means in his power to make
them desist, finding they were determined
to have things their own way rallied force
of train hands, and in a short time "cleaa-
ed OUT the T0Wdies, who retreated not in
good order, but with sundry cuts and bruis-
es, the marks of some of which they will
not at once get rid of. Mr.. Parkhurst is a
man OF about six feet six, broad and mus
cular in proportion, and though among the
best-natured, gentlemanly and obliging
conductors who runs into this city, he prop
erly understands who is boss on his train,
and rowdles who attempt to dispute his au-
thorlty viii generally find that they have

SAD CATASTROPHE AT WALLETS BAY.
Il. Loomis Stanton, son of the late H. B.
Stanton, of Burlington. and French boat
man named Seymour Prim, were drowned
in Mallet's Bay Yesterday In company
with Mr.. Brick, they were fishing in the
bay, and being DESTROYS to change the loca-
ton, Prim stepped to the bow of the boat
and began pulling up the anchor, and had
about brought it aboard when, it is sup
posed, Stanton leaned to the same side as
Prim, aud Che skif being frail was over
turned, throwing all three occupants into
the water. Stanton and Prim were good
Swimmers, and at once struck out for the
shore, while Brick who cannot swim, chung
to the boat, which soon righted, and into
which he succeeded in getting, how or by
what means is unknown to himself. His
only knowledge of the affair, as related to
US, is that he saw Stanton and Prim strik-
ing for the shore, Immediately after which
he lost sight of them. Stanton and HIM
self wore rubber ponchos, to protect them
from the rain which was falling at the time,
and Mr.. Brick says that Oh Stanton's fall
ing into the water the front portion of the
poneho he wore was carried over his head
so that he could not see, and thinks that
he must have become exhausted in his
struggles to reach the shore or boat, and
thus persisted. At the time of the acct
dent, i've fishing lines were cast by the
party, and when the body of Prim was re-
covered. some of these were found wound
SO tightly about his body and limbs as to
prevent their use. Brick cried Justify for
