Silas w. Sprague of North Dan
vile sugared off one day last week.
The strange part of it was that he found
snow on which to wax his sugar.
On Monday last, Joseph A. Kill
breth of ST. Adams, while cutting down
a tree in the woods, was fatally injured
by its fall, and died in thirty-six hours.
John Morse of Morgan, in digging
a cellar for his barn, found a silver quar-
ter three feet below the surface, coined in
1868.
Henry Mansfield and Galpin Bron-
son, of Goshen, came to blows the other
day, the latter calling his wife and a
colored woman to his rescue. Mansfield
was Severely injured.
-On Tuesday of last week, as Mr..
Stephen Assletyne of Swanton, was draw
ing seine in Maquam Bay, he hauled
in the body of an unknown woman,
which had the appearance of having
been in the water some time. We were
unable to gain any further particulars.
Collins French of Sutton, had his
left hand badly cut and mutilated by a
circular saw, on Wednesday, Odd ult.-
He was at work for the Orleans and Cat
edonia Steam Mill Co., and was engaged
in oiling the saw while it was in motion,
when in some unaccountable manner he
brought his hand upon the revolving saw,
cutting off the thumb and forefnger, and
destroying the middle finger.
james H. Beals of Walden, met
with an accident which proved fatal on
Friday, June 18th. He was, with 9TH

driving one of the hindermost yoke OF
oxen, when he was caught by lever and
thrown down, and before the teams could
be stopped, one of the " shoes" of the

his body, lacerating and mangling one
leg severely. He was taken home and
medical aid Immediately rendered, but
he died the following Sunday night. II

Special Town Meeting.


On petition of some twenty or thirty
persons at Rockingham Centre and Bar
louisville, a special town meeting has been
called, to be held in this place ON Tues
day next at l o'clock in the afternoon to
see if the town will vote to hold their
future town and freeman's meetings at
Saxtons River. Also to elect select
man, in place of NJ. r. Lawrence, who
has removed to Chester, thus creating a
vacancy in the board of selectmen.
Though the question of where to hold
future townmeetingsis thus again brought
before the town, We are not aware at the
time going TO press, that any such interest
prevails in any part of the town as exist
ed last Spring, but the question is again
before the town, and the contest in March
showed the opposition to removal to be
foeman worthy of our STEEL" and if the
people Of this village would hold on to
the advantage they gained then, they had
better not be caught mapping next Tues
day.

SENATOR MoRRILL.-On Tuesday of
last week Senator Morrill, paid visit to
Brattleboro, where he was the guest of
S. nj. Waite. In the evening, a large
number of the people, having learned of
his presence, preceded by band of mu-
sic, called at Mr.. Waite's residence and
gave him scramble Mr.. Morrill, came
to the piazza, and acknowledged the COM
pliment in brief speech, in which he
spoke of the success of the present ad-
ministration thus far in recovering from
the disasters of the war, and in diminish
ing the public debt. After which he was
introduced to large number who had
the pleasure of taking their distinguished
senator by the hand. We know of no
public men more deserving than our
Vermont Congressman, and we are glad
to record such instances of public appre-
citation.

- Mr.. Jason Britt was severely injur-
ed while at work at one of his circular
saws in Cabot, on the 26th, In raising
plank, which he was saving, up over
the saw, it was caught by the teeth and
thrown with scch force against his side

would prove fatal, but it is thought now
that he will recover. 0.

the Montpelier Freeman says Berlin can
not only match him as " champion

in the person of Nelson Chase, who has
probably traded horses oftener than any
other man of his age. "We have known
him to swap horses five times in one day,
besides driving an extensive trade in

Among the curiosities to be seen at
Mr. Tarbell's rake factory, in Mount
Holly, is a man who works at all the ma
chinery in the shop, being perfectly blind.
His name is Warren, and he is one of
the best mechanics in the works, and can
adjust the most complicated machinery,
and perform any of the various kinds of
labor required in manufacturing the rake
from the log. Warren has always sup
ported a large family, and has laid up
something for the future when he can no
longer labor.
Mrs. L. K. Annis, of Westfeld has
been troubled with partial numbness on
one side for a year or more. One night

A man named Wheeler, of New

up in jail at St. Johnsbury. 1t is said
Wheeler has served term in State Pris-

VERMONT HIsToRIoAL GAzETEER.-
We have received numbers Z, s, 8, 10
and II, of this work, embracing the
counties of Chittenden and Essex. This
is series of town histories grouped in
counties, and is a free historical channel
for every town, and when the work is
completed, cannot fail therefore Of being
of special interest in every town in the
State. The work was begun some years
ago by Miss Abbie Maria Hemenway of
Ludlow, now of Burlington, and sus-
pended during the war, it will contain a
digest of the history of each town, civil,
educational, religious, theological and
literary, and will therefore be a very
complete history of Vermont, and while
no library in the State will be complete
without it, those who gather but few
books will want this among the few
The numbers for Windham and Wind
sor counties it is expected will appear in
September, and ladies or gentlemen are
wanted as agents to help circulate the
work in each town. For further partic-
ulars address Miss Hemenway at Bur-
lington. We cordially commend the en-
terprise and shall look forward with in
terest for the succeeding numbers.

The FUNERAL OF MILLER THE MUIR
DERER.-The body of Hiram Miller ar
rived at Richford, and Rev. William R.
Puffer, at the request of the relatives,
preached funeral sermon Sunday after
noon at the Contra school house. The
Sentinel says The body was on exhibi.
ton, and many focked to see it from this
and other towns. The attendance at the
funeral was large-larger probably than
would have been the case had it been the
funeral of one of our most respected cit.
liens. No one, however, seemed to ex.
press any sympathy for the deceased, as
the proof against him was too conclusive
to admit of any doubt in the matter II
was rare sight to see the body of a
murderer, and they rushed to see it as
they would to see wild animal. II
seems strange that Miller's relatives
should have thus made public exhibi
ton of his body.

ANDovER The Sunday School in
Simonsville gave concert on the after
noon of the 4th inst, in the church in
that place, under the direction of Rev.
w. b. Cary, of New York City. The
church was beautifully decorated with
evergreens and flowers, and in the center
were hung the following notices God
is Love-In God We Trust. The exer-
cises were chiefly sacred. and consisted
of singing, recitations and declarations.
Some fine music was rendered by the
choir, and class of little girls sang
some pieces very sweetly, one of them
playing the instrument, fine, large me-
lodeon. The closing piece, {" America"
by the choir, in which the congregation
joined, was sung with much enthusiasm.
Altogether, it was very pleasant af-
fair, and highly satisfactory to all pres
ent.
The people of Andover and Wind
ham celebrated the anniversary of our
independence on the 9th inst. in a beau
tiful grove in the southwest part of the
town. Payer was offered by Rev. w.
B. Cary, and Mr.. Alvin Dwinell of Wal
pole, N. H, delivered fine grafton, rich
in history and sound sense. Tables were
spread in the grove and loaded with good
and substantial food, free to all. After
dinner toasts were read, followed by
speeches from Rev. w. B. Cary, Geo. L.
Fletcher, ESQ, Rev. E. S. Foster and
others. Much humor and good feeling
prevailed, and general good time was
enjoyed. About 500 people were pres
ent. In the evening dance was held
near by, in locality known as Poplar
Dungeon, where goodly number was
in attendance.

The Vermont Gazetteer.
HISTORY OF ROCKINGHAM.

We have elsewhere noticed the Yer.
mont Historical Gazetteer, work now
beingpublished in numbers by Miss Hem,
enway Of Burlington, and are glad to
announce that Mr.. E. A. Darby of this
village, has undertaken and is now en-.
gagged in writing out the history of this
town, from such data as he can get &C.
cess to, and would be glad to hear from
all persons in town, and especially from
old people who have knowledge of events
or incidents of interest in the towns his
tory. From the four other villages in
town, Saxtons River, Cambridgeport
Rockingham Centre and Bartonsville, as
well as this village, he wishes to gather
all matters such as would be of interest
to preserve in the history of the town.
AS it is to go in with all the other
towns of the State, it will be matter of
town pride that it be complete.
Mr.. Darby is a man of decide dliterary,
taste and talent, having had considera-
BILE experience in writing for the press,
and with the cooperation of our towns
men will be able to get up history
which will be a credit to our town.

STRAwBERRIEs!-We had few straw
berries in our garden this season which
we thought some of Dragging about when
they reached five inches in circumfer-
ence, but was deferred by the announce
ment in Brattleboro paper of some rails
ed by J. II. Capen which measured six
inches, and were about to yield the palm
to Brattleboro, when our neighbor Mon
roe sent us couple of quarts of the
Triumph de Grande variety, containing
some which measured seven inches, there
fore we rallied again for Bellows Falls,
and will never again fear to trust her
repetition for having vegetation in his
hands if we can't take care of it our
selves ! 1t took but seventy-ive of his
berries to make two quarts and they were
large quarts at that. Mr.. Monroe's beds
have done finely this year, and so abun-
dant were they that the air in the vicin-
ity was fairly perfumed with the deli.
cious odor. Some days he has picked
over $50 quarts, allowed the birds, neigh
bors, and finally but by no means least,
invited our girl compositors to feast and
carry off all they could which they ac-
copied, enjoyed and revealed and for
which they desire to return thanks to

ASSAULT AND HEAVY Submission
Friday night last, James Mansfield and
Pat. McCarty, excited by liquor, entered
j. III. Phelps livery stable and smashed
in the door to the room where the host
lers slept and assaulted them. Next day,
Sheriff Taylor being absent, States Attor-
ney c. E. Arnold attempted to arrest
them. McCarty Immediately fled out Of
reach, and Mansfield resisted. Mr.. Ar
mold then attempted to get aid from a
number of persons who generally refused
to enter the field of battle, and finally
himself made a second and more vigor-
Gus charge on the enemy, and for while
a sharp fight ensued, in which Mansfield
was knocked down once or twice and f.
nally repulsed so that he fled across the
river. The States Attorney concluded
to adopt the doctrine of Gen. Dix at the
time of the St. Albans raid, and with
Mr.. 7. G. Ball gave chase across the
river into an engine house, where anoth
err encounter ensued in which all fell into
a vat, and during which Arnold received
a blow from slung shot on the side of
the head, and had one knee badly bruis-
ed. At this point the government, being
out of its jurisdiction and reinforcements
very scarce, concluded to retire for recu-
peration. Mansfield has left town and
was last heard of in Boston, where it was
thought he would embark for England
to settle the Alabama claims!

MOVING MAcHINEs-We mentioned
last week the utility of moving machines
and spoke of the number of Woods ma
chimes sold last year, and that they were
sold by Messrs Clark & Chapman of this
place. We have since learned from
Moore's Rural Ne,U Yorker that the num-
Der sold this year already amounts to
twenty-four thousand, of which three
thousand have been sent to Europe. The
great demand for this machine speaks
we'll as to its merits.

New HALL BULDING.-The founda-
ton of the new block is now so far adj
vanced that workmen began laying the
brick this week. The size of the new
hall portion can now be seen, and GER
tainly cannot fail to already excite a
feeling of pride among not only the peo-
pie of this village, who are of course
more Immediately interested in it, but of
the whole town. The building itself,
when completed, will be among the best
blocks in the county, and the conven-
fence of large and commodious hall at
this point, for public gatherings, can
hardly be overestimated, and it promises
to reflect an amount of credit upon this
place of which we may feel just pride.

probably the largest of any in the State.
The people of that town do not do things
by the halves, and accordingly were en-
phatic and complete in their notice of
the nations anniversary on that occasion.
Among those who responded to the SEN
timents offered were G. B. Eddy, j. d.
Bridgman, and the battery from this
place, A. M. Allbee and James S. Mar
tin of Londonderry, Lewis S. Walker Of
Grafton, Henry Clark of the Rutland
Herald, Hon. Hugh H. Henry of Ches-
ter, and several others. The occasion
was one of interest, and will long be re-
membered by those who were present.

A COOP NoMINATIoN.-We are right
glad to observe that the republicans of
Chittenden county have nominated Mr..
George Granville Benedict of the Bur-
lington Free Press, as a candidate for
Senator. Not SO much because he is
member of the editorial fraternity, though
it is of course gratifying to see the pro-
fession thus appreciated, but because of
his practical common sense and other
qualifications which will make him
good legislator. He is not only sound
republican but is very apt to be sound
on other questions, and is among the best
representative men of our State.
