SAD ArrA1n ~ YrpNoN.-rho Rrn.-

SAD AFFAIR IN VERNoN-The Brat
tleboro PaGniG, says q most melancholy
accident occurred in Vernon, Saturday
evening, March Goth. The wife of Henry
Stoddard, a lady about 80 years of age,
during the absence of the family, went
up stairs on an errand, and thoughtlessly
setting her lamp on the side of the bed,
it tipped over, spilling out the oil and
setting fire to the bed. In attempting to
put out the flames, her clothes caught
fire, and stepping backward, to escape,
she was precipitated down the stairway,
where she remained for some moments
In senseless condition, her dress mean
while in flames. Coming to her senses,
she eontriyed to open the stairway door,
and scream for assistance. Her husband,
who was at the house of a neighbor, hear
ing her cries, came with help, and rolling
her in the snow succeeded in putting out
the flames. The house itself was, how
ever, by this time so far enveloped that
it was impossible to save it, and it was
totally destroyed. Mrs. Stoddard was
so badly injured that she died the follow
ing day. The house, barn and sheds
were all destroyed. No insurance.

BRATTLEBoRo Town HALL.-The peo-
pie of Brattleboro have splendid Town
Hall building, the best in the State, and
during the past winter the Young Mems
Christian Association there have furnish
ed course of excellent lectures, which
have been delivered in this hall with adj
mirable arrangements for the comfort
and convenience of the large audiences
that have assembled. All the seats in
the body of the hall are reserved" or,
more properly speaking, numbered, so
that every ticket owns its seat, and by
the aid Of ushers, thousand people may
be seated with as much quiet and regu-
larity as would be smaller audience in
village church on Sunday morning.
No confusion and no scramble for partic-
ular places, and if person by any mis-
fortune is late, his seat, wherever it may
be, remains unoccupied. 1t is certainly
an admirable system, and worthy of be-
ing adopted in all town halls everywhere.

CURIOUS CAsE.-The St. Johnsbury

recently received package of twenty
one So bills for redemption which were
in the safe of an express company on the
steamer w. E. Carter when she blew up,
burned and sunk in the Mississippi river
in Feb, 1866. After lying in the bot
tom of the river till August, 1868 two
years and half-a large amount of
treasure was recovered from this sunken
steamer, and among the rest, sl05 in bills
on this bank. All the bills are more or
less mutilated, and some of them are so
burned that nothing but the ink on the
printed letters show. Others, just the
cashiers signature and the denomination
can be distinguished on the blackened
cinders which are pasted on pieces of
thin paper. In his letter, Gen. Spinner
of the treasury says he has redeemed
over 100000 of legal tender notes taken
from this vessel in similar condition.

SOME FINE COLTS.

A I Derby Center last week. we had the pleasure of
IA a visit to Mr.. d. p. Wiley's place. where among
many excellent things such good farmers take a
PRIDE m, we saw several remarkably fine colts They
were all the get of st. Lawrence" or The Bryant
Horse, as he is generally styled, and do credit 10
his qualities sire of first class horses for general
use, mot too fine for farmer, and yet good enough
and handsome enough for the carriage of city ma
bob. St. Lawrences colts are remarkable for size
and strength. without being clumsy or slow No one
would suspect to look at him. that the Bryant Horse
had the go IN him that he has. After riding behind
him. under no very favorable circumstances we find
no difficulty in believing that with proper training
he would prove himself the fastest roader of his size
Mr.. Willeys finest colt is young, black stallion
nineteen months old, weighing upwards of 900
pounds. spirited. but gentle and free from any vice
well and squarely put up. with his sire's powerful
neck and solid, well shaped feet. clean legs, Il good
head and iine lively eye. To all appearance he is
destined to be most valuable horse, and had Mr.
Wiley persevered, against difficulties and dseourte-
sy at Barton fair last fall to put him in competition
there, little doubt can he felt that he would have
carried the day against all competitors,
We cannot close this notice, necessarily abbreyia-
ted by the crowded state of columns without al
luding to a short call made on Bartlett Bryant the
famous nurseryman. where we had the pleasure of
sampilng some excellent wine and cider made from
ms unegualed crab apples and also of going through
his stables, where besides st. Lawrence now the
property of John Elder Mr.. Bryant's son-in law we
saw as fine array of colts, of various ages as can
be seen anywhere Mr.. Bryant keeps his stock on
saw-dust Gas does Mr. Willey but he is making good
square timber of it.--Ne,cpor Express. H-15

CHESTER. The death of Joseph Lou
RE, which appears under the usual head,
is worthy of something more than pass
ing notice. Young Lourie came here
some three years since, stranger, and
though quiet and unassuming, soon won
the regard and respect of the commune
ty by his earnest efforts to support him
self and his widowed mother. A Grip
pie from his earliest boyhood, he had
much to contend with, but nobly perse-
vered, and had just begun to reach the
reward of his exertions when consump-
ton seized upon him, and he is gone
from among us. He walked the path Of
life nobly, let US believe that for him the
crown was waiting when life's journey
ended. His funeral took place on Sun
day, and he was buried with masonic
honors.
