BURGLARY.-About ten o'clock on
Wednesday evening, Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ
Haven, upon returning home to their
residence on Main street, from the
session of the State Sabbath School Con.
vention, in attempting to enter the
front door of their residence, found that
it was securely fastened. Thinking
however, that some member of the family
had entered, and mistakenly sprung the
bolt, Mr.. Haven went around to see if he
could effect an entrance by one of the
windows, and to his surprise, found one
Of them open and pane of glass in il
broken. He entered and found things in
disordered condition, everything about
the premises bearing the evidence of hav.
ing been ransacked. He at once went to
the front door and admitted Mrs. Haven
and friends accompanying her, when they
commenced to examine the house. The
first thing they discovered was that Mrs.
Ravens jewelry was entirely missing,
also some of thst the property of Mr.
Haven, a revolver, minor articles OF
clothing and some valuable silver ware,
embra cling 2s teaspoons. all the dessert
spoons in the house, cake basket, spoon
holder, &c, as well as an overcoat just
from the tailor's, the property of Mr..
Dckerman, brother of Mrs. Haven, and
boarder in the house, which was valued
at $40. Two temporary boarders, dele
gates to the Young Mems Christian Con-
vention, from out Of town, were also
sufferers, their valises having been robbed
of the most valuable of their contents, and
one of them bodily distracted. In the
dining room were found a silver spoon
and fork, which the burglars had broken
apparently to try their composition, but
the rascals evidently coming to the mis-
taken conclusion that they were not silver,
left them. An overcoat was also left by
them down stairs, which they had re-
moved from an upper story. Mr. Haven,
on discovering his loss, called Deputy
Sheriff Sandorsou, who proceeded to work
up the case, but thus far without success.
On arriving at Mr.. Ravens premises, q
bed spread was found suspended from
hinge OF one of the second story windows,
leaving the inference plain that at the
time of Mr.. Ravens entrance to the house
the burglars were then up stairs at work,
and that in order to effect an escape, they
resorted to the method of lowering them
selves by the spread to the ground. The
total amount of loss is unknown; and no
clue to the burglars has yet been dis
covered. That they are experts in the
business their workings at Mr.. Haren' $
clearly show, and our citizens cannot De
too much on the alert to guard against
the depredations of these midnight rob-
hara

Before the ecoW csreened q lad about
fifteen years " ssge, son OF =. boyce'
who was himself on board, managed,
with the passenger Thivierge, 70 securs
small bark canoe and reach the shore,
although in sinking condition, from the
damage the canoe had sustained. Thi-
yierue ran to the Makinac for . wooden
canoe which was there, but before he re-
tnrned the scow had rolled over like q
lop two or three times, washing off those
who had succeeded in scrambling up on
the bottom; but most fortunately, at last
nartly cleared the whirlpool, and again,
bottom up, drifted where her mast stuck
in sand reef, and some twenty-six per-
sons, all Of whom must have been expert
swimmers, again succeeded in reaching
the scow. Little Boyce was sitting on
the scow, when his father, one of the
20, ordered him to come on, as with the
canoe he could take them all off
The little fellow obeyed, and his father
and Desaulniers, the pilot, getting in,
made for the shore. Desaulniers was in
the stern, and probably in the excitement
of the moment padded too rapidly, and
the canoe, already half full of water, be
came submerged, ana SANK Wltnln twenty
feet of the shore. They were all swim
mers, and struck out manfully, but the
eddy drew them back. Boyce and hi
son went down to rise no more, but De
saulniers reached the land. The wooder
canoe now arrived from the Makinac, and
Mr.. A. P. Swezy, on his way down from
the Tuque with two empty barges, came
along at the same time, and the survivor
were taken ashore and cared for. lively,
persons were drowned.

THE TROY HOUSE, Troy, n. Y
Having occasion recently to visit this an
cient and popular establishment, we were
not only surprised but delighted to find
the premises rejuyenated by its enterpris-
ing proprietor Mr.. Charles II. Jones.
Every department of the hotel gives evil
dence of complete renovation, and mo
modern improvement which can add to
comfort, elegance and beauty has been
neglected. Our old friend, Mr.. G. V.
Spalding, formerly of Rutland, but who
has been several years in the house, and
Mr.. ]. II. Rogers, recently from Earle's
Hotel, New York, will be found in the
Office, to give the guests of the hotel a

comforts during their stay. Both are gen.
tlemen of pleasing address and thoroughly
competent in their department.

AN ELoPExENr-Ths ST. Albans
Transcript has the following particulars
of an elopement which recently took place
In Milton:
Edward M. Prentis and Miss Hattie
O'Brien of Milton, aged respectively 10
and 10 years, were married at an early
hour at one of our hotels, on Monday
morning last. The 'knot" was scarcely
tied before the girls "cruel parents" APP
peared before the now really happy twain.
The scene that ensued beggars descrip-
ton. 1t appears that the girls parents
objected to her marrying the said Prentis,
on account of her youth. But Hattie be-
lieving otherwise, determined to elude
their vigilant watch. Sunday evening
her parents kept strict watch on her un-
til she retired to her chamber, then locked
her in. But Hattie gathering up her
wardrobe, lowered it to her expectant
lover, who was waiting below, and then
made an exit from the window herself.
and with him walked to this place and
was married as above. Edward has Sc
cured plucky wife-of true grit. 1t
seems that the old adege, that 1.-THE course
of true love never runs smooth" still
holds good.

SHOCKING ACCIDENTAL Mortified,
on Monday, as one Dousset, Frenchman,
was attempting to put on belt in the
slate works Of the Union company. lie
was caught and carried around the shaft
at almost lightning speed, stripping him
of every vestige of clothing except boots
and stockings, and literally plucking out
his beard and portion Of his hair. Both
of his arms were broken, and several of
his ribs, some Of them both at the spine
and again farther forward. When thrown
from the shaft, with great violence, he
struck upon his face, sustaining severe in
juries about the head. 1tseems almost a
miracle that life remains, and yet report
says he possibly may recover.
CONVENTION OF THE WESTERN YER
MONT MUSICAL ASSOCIATION AT MID
DLEBURY.-The first and second days of
the Convention now in session under the
direction of Professor L. o. Emerson Of
Boston, were not particularly spirited,
nor were they calculated, from the fnllness
of the attendance, to give the managers
much encouragement as to the financial
success of the enterprise, but yesterday
there was q change for the better, and the
exercises of the Convention were decid.
eddy an improvement, both in numbers
and in the spirit with which the class I'M
dertook the performance of their parts
Nearly or quite two hundred and fifty
members were present at the afternoon
session, and the pleasant hall of the new
public school building was well filled
with citizens of Middlebury and the sur.
rounding towns, who showed their appre.
citation of the performance during the So.
CIAL Hour.
Mr.. Porter of the Middlebury College

Then Mr. f. P Phillips of Nashua, n H.

singing of song entitled "The Bird that
came in Spring." by Mrs. Vose of Port
Henry, N. Y, after which Miss Granger
of Boston, and Mr.. Phillips sang duet
Mrs. VIM. N. Oliver of Rutland, favored
the audience with the song entitled M
Happy Home" which was received with
great applause. Mr.. Sam G. Moore Of
Burlington accompanied Mrs. Oliver on
the piano in his usually effective manner

MAINTAIN THE PRESS.

Yes, we say emphatically, maintain
the press for what it has done, for
what it is doing, and for what it may
do in that great future which is to test
the capacity, virtue and power of en-
durance in man; for what millennial
day Of which Christians have prophesie ed
and poets have sung. We know the
living voices says the National Republic
can, is thing of might and power that
stirs the heart and thrills the soul; but
in this age of large things and unexam-
pied development, when "the wide
world" opens to our view, and human
thought goes to all peoples within the
limits of human embrace, we must not
forget that the printing press is the
most ubiquito us element of expression,
and the most easy avenue of ideas the
world has got. While the living voice
can be heard but a short distance.
within the range of limited compass
and consequent limited influence, the
printed leaves of this resent propagan-
dist of human thought flies on the
wings of the wind, as it We're, to the re-
motest bounds ofthe earth. 1t speaks
here, there, everywhere. 1t stands
first in the vanguard of civilization;
first in the communication of intelli.
gence; first in the spread of education,
and first in every good word and work
which develops material wealth and
advances society at large in the scale of
progress and lasting peace. Such an
influence is certainly worthy Of sup
port, and we believe it will be sustained
whenever it speaks worthy its name
and the high mission it bears to the
people at large.

RECONSTRUCTION.

Reconstruction, therefore, goes ahead.
The placing Of Governor Walker in the
chair of State will be an event that will
afford great deal Of satisfaction. lie
will, it is true, have no great deal to
do; but that little everybody feels will
be done rightly. The people will feel
that they begin to exert some influence
over their local government, and that at
least man of their choice is placed in
the highest Office in the State. 1t will
be q solid proof of the revlvifying OF tho
body-politic--its recovery from a state
of paralysis.
With these steps towards restoration
the State, in all its departments, will
derive increased confidence, strength,
and energy. With calmness and earn
est devotion to our local interests we
shall go on steadily to prepare for the
final restoration by the approval of the
State constitution by Congress- We
fear no delay in that act. The motive
which will insure promptness is too
we'll established to justify apprehensions.
Ifthe signs and The declarations OF men
of controlling position are not entirely
delusive, Virginia will soon be in the
Union. 1t cannot be otherwise unless
Congress disregards argument and poll
cy as we'll as craftsmanship. 1t would
be against the interest of the dominant
party even to delay the event.

Terrible Calamity in Baltimore
Thursday morning on unfinished build

streets, Baltimore, fell with a fearful
crash. There were at work upon the
upper story several bricklayors and
several colored hod carriers, four of
whom were suddenly engulphed among
the broken timbers and bricks. They
were carried with the debris into the
cellar, and in short time large num-
Der of persons, unmindful of the sur
rounding tottering walls, were busiy
engaged in extricating the unfortunates
from their dangerous position. Several
persons were very seriously injured,
and one or two fatally. One man was
killed outright.
