RAIIRnAD CROSSINGS AT GRADE
How many more shocking accidents must
there be like that by which Rev. Collins
Stone of Hartford lost his life the other
day, before humane and civilized COM
muuity, such as it ID claimed we have in
New England. is aroused to the point of
demanding that all railroad crossings of
common roads at grade shall be abolished?
When the country was less thiokly settled
than now, and the railroads were young
and poor, there might have been some ex-
euse for letting railroads tracks be laid
where they could be placed easiest and
cheapest. But no new railroad, in New
England at least, should now be allowed
to cross common road at grade, and leg
islation ought to be had to compel all the
old roads, within a reasonable time, to-
run their tracks either over or under the
ordinary thoroughfares of travel. In the
accident at Hartford no special blame is
to be imputed to the railroad or its
employees. The train was running
neither faster nor slower than usus.i
Mr.. Stone, on the other hand, was rlore
venturesome than most persons would
have been. He saw the train, but thought
be had time to force his horse across the
track, and he paid for his NATURALIZATION
with his life. 1t is for the s,.ke of saving

HORSE THIEvING.-On Sunday nigi 1T,
the fourth inst, Dewey Nichols of We at
ford, had valuable colt taken from l lis
barn There having been slight fall of
snow during the night, ths tracks we re
finally visible in the direction of Yves t.
ford Center and Fletcher. Suspicion at
once rested upon young Mr.. Burt of the
latter place who had been in the employ
of Mr.. Nichols a short time previous. and
from whom Mr.. Nichols had only 3. short
time since purchased the colt. Following
the tracks he soon obtained knowledge of
the probable whereabouts of both, Stop.
ping at Fairfax, he found motto posted
in the bar room of the hotel giving an ex-
act description of the colt he was in pur-
suit of, but purporting to have been stolen
at North Troy. This gave him the
first intimation of theft in the case. Not
finding the colt as he expected to in Flet-
cher he went on to Canada lire. Stopping
at hotel in one of the bordA towns he
there saw notice posted, giving de-
scription of another colt recently stolen
from place in Canada. Feeling quite
sure he had seen this la tter colt at Mr.
Burt's, in Fletcher, or in that vicinity, he
informed the owner of the matter, and
together with another o. ficer and Officer
Macomber of Westford. went to the house
of Mr.. Burt, where the officers were re-
fused admittance, w'nereupon Officer Ma
comber demolished the door and entered,
having previously disposed of bis assist
ants so as to pre- ,ent the escape of any of
the inmates. ON searching the premises
the missing G. inada colt was found and
identified, and the occupants of the house
were arrested. At this writing Mr.. Mich
OILS had not found the colt stolen from
him. but has probably succeeded in break
ing up gang of horse thieves that have
been car rying on their Expectations for

The Rutland Inlbroglio.

Rev. Mr.. Bailey, in his poem leo
ture, which he delivered at Middlebury,
Tuesday evening, paid his respects to the
present locsl liquor question in Rutland,
in the following impromptu lines:
As oft matter foul and morbid, swelling,
By blains and boils its existence telling,
While burning pains the restless body knaws,
The product ever Of an evil cause,
So of the State, its vile corruption shows
By breeding ulcers full of aching woes.
Just such state is now the State we re in,
AS seen by sores of foul and fragrant sin.
These are our Rum-Shops, and our share have
We, pc
The seats and sources of vast misery,
The places whence rebellions fostering,
Thence spread the ichor of the whisky ring.
Rutland, lust now, illustrates this, our verse,
By its present phase of the liquor curse.
vast carbuncle rising on its neck,
With its four heads, the hapless place bedecks,
The one "7He Barda0ell," talIest of them all,
Another, "7He Central,' Familiarity we call,
''1ne SteUens," next, its angry cone presents,
And "Ihe Bates" whose piety resents
Oppresslon's ruthless law. These each are filled,
With angry rheum, and choller hot, distilled
By the alembic Ct a christian law,
Whose power is Marshalled thro' Woodhouse
saw.
Thus 'sliquid fire." as hotter fire has found,
And diamond rum, by harder diamonds s ground
The legal poultice, skillfully applied,
Makes mulcting portions from the pockets glide.
Homeopathy, sure, this practice isn't,
Since the patients say it is unpleasant,
But, surely, tits ehectual as we know,
For running ichor ceases now to flow,
Let Woodhouse practice, since his practice puts
The fires of death in Rutland hotels out
Ere this the practice touched the pimpled trade
And this our landlords all the richer made
But when the plaster touched the boil itself,
And stayed the current of iu-gotten pelf.
''Ah! if free rum can't from the ulcer flow,
WE, due resentment unto all will show;
Well teach the town that health alone can be
By feeding well the sores of misery.
For all we ask is liberty to sell
What curses all, but makes our purses swell
Grant US but this, richer boon we ask
Wen then fulfil the honest landlords task.
With Rum, we open to the travellers calls,
Without, no foot shall stride within our balls.''
It's rum or ruin,-sueh the alternative
Ye Rutlands choose! will ye die or live!
Ye'd better die. To live by rum is death.
Keep honor bright, cen tho it loose it's breath.
Is Vice plucky? shall Virtue not be more!
AS Vice shuts up, shan't Virtue ope her store
Shall Satan threaten but shall Christ ere flee
Shall Christians not show hospitality?
For dear Rights sake, let sac-iHs1 DC made
Thus. if Won can hill out the liquor trade;
Or. if not kill it, drive it from the light,
Whose blushing radiance shrinketh tr.rn the
sight,
Let friends of God and Man at Rutland know,
They have our prayers, the town and country
thro
While heaven, uprising, joins them in the war.
With the worst foe of morals or of law.

AWARD FOR lNJURIES.-Ihe CdLedO7lG-
an says: An interesting case has had a
hearing in this place the past week. 1t
will be remembered that in March last a
Passul npsic car running over the North
cru Railroad was thrown from the track
by e broken rail near Danbury, and sew
eral persons injured. Among those seri-
Dusty injured were Melissa Brock
daughter of Samuel Brock of West Bar
net,--a young lady of twenty rs,-and
I. Z. Fairbanks, formerly of this place.
We understand that by an arrangement
between the Passumpsio and Northern
Roads, the Passumpsic assumes all re-
sponsibility for accident to its passengers
while passing over the Northern road.
The injury to Miss Brock was the spine,
aud go serious that she is, up to the pres
emit time, confined to her bed most of the
time. By mutual agreement, the amount
of damages, ETC., was referred to ex-Gov.
Paul Dillingham;, Judge Loyal G. Kel-
logg, and ex-Lt.-Gov. Burnam Martin.
Hon. j. ID. Abbott was agent for Miss
Brock, and B. N. Davis and o. s. Burke
Esq, attorneys. W. D. Crane, Esq, of
Newport, was attorney for the Passump.
sic Railroad Company. The witnesses
introduced on the part of the girl were
Drs. selim Newell and G.. B. Billiard of
this place, and @. s. Cahoon of Lyndon.
On the part of the road, Dr. Dixi Crosby
of Hanover. After patient hearing, the
referees awarded Miss Brock $1,000. Out
of this she has to pay the expenses of her
long illness, but the Railroad Company
defray the expenses of the trial. We
understand that the case of T. R. Fair.
banks will probably be arbitrated also.
