Fatal Accident.

An accident occurred at wW oodard's saw
mill, three miles from town on Tuesday
morning which resulted in the death of
Simeon Fl. CASTOR, an old resident of this
county. Woodland and CASTOR were walk
ing alongside ofthe log car which was load
ed with couple of logs, and ascending the
incline carriage-way. At a distance of
eight feet from the ground one of the up
right timbers which supported the car
riage-way on Gastcn's side of the car sud-
enly gave way, and precipitated him and
the car to the ground, one of the logs fall
ling upon his head and crushing his brains
out.
On being notified of the distressing oc-
curance by Woodland, who fortunately es-
capped unhurt, the Coroner repaired to the
mill and held coroner's inquest over the
body of the deceased. CASTOR was a native
Of Philadelphia, and aged 81 years.

A Sailors Love.

One little act of politeness will some times
pave the way to fortune and preierment.
The following sketch illustrates this fact
A sailor, roughly garbed, was strolling
through the streets of New Orleans, then
in rather damp condition from recent
rains and rise of the tide. Turning the
corner of much frequented and narrow
alley he observed young lady standing in
perplexity, apparently measuring the depth
Of the muddy water between her and the
opposite sidewalk, with no very satisfied
countenance
The sailor paused, for he was great
admirer of beauty, and certainly the fair
face that peeped out from under the little
chip hat, and the auburn curls hanging
glossy and unconined over her musl n
dress, might tempt curious or an admir-
ing glance Perplexed, the lady put forth
one little foot, when the gallant sailor, with
impulsiveness, exclaimed That pretty
foot, lady, should not be soiled with the
filth of the lane; wait for moment only
and l will make you path"
So, springing past her into carpenter s
shop opposite, he bargained for a plank
board that stood in the doorway, and CON-
ing back to the smiling girl, who was just
coquetish enough to accept the services Of
the handsome young sailor, he bridged the
narrow, black stream and she tripped
across with merry "Thank you," anc a
roguish smile making her eyes as dazzling
as they could be.
Alas! our young sailor was perfectly
charmed. What else would make him
catch up and shoulder the plank, and fol-
low the little witch through the streets to
her home? She twice performed the cere-
mony of walking the plank" and each
time thanking him with one of her elo-
quent smiles. Presently our hero saw
the young lady trip up the marble steps of
palace of a house and disappear within
its rosewood entrance. For full minute
he stood looking at the door, and then with
wonderful big sigh turned away, disposed
of his drawbridge, and wended his way
back to his ship.
The next day he was astonished with
an order of promotion from the captain.
Poor Jack was speechless with amazement.
He had not dreamed of being exalted to
the dignity Of second mates Office on
board one Of the most splendid ships that
sailed out of the port Of New Orleans.
He knew be was competent, for instead OF
spending his money for amusement, visit
ing theaters and bowling alleys On his
return frum sea, he purchased books, and
had become quite student, but he bad
expected years to intervene before his

A question has been raised whether the
farmer generally lave been wrong in sup
posing that they could not plough before
the rains. The Son Jose Mercury says:
The experiment of dry ploughing
of the soil should impel our farmers to pay
particular attention to this subject, for
they will not only reap the fruits Of their
land, but its increased productiveness will
enhance its value without regard to other
considerations or influences.

gut in this instance, eren if undue effort
has been made by earnest men, it hardly
iusti6es the de,-and made, or is it con-
sistent to di.oommode the public because
they hoo been imposed upon. Neither
the t-.velinglpublic or our citizens are re-
sensible for the individual acts Of per-
sons who have thought proper to bring
upon them the penalties of the law in the
manner in which twas done. Discretion
should mark the execution Of the law
We counsel discretion and consideration
on the part of DO tn parties. I
We hear it said that great injury is to
come to the business of the town from the
action of both sides in this controversy.
1t may be true, that such will be the case,
but let us wait and see. We do not be-
lieve that any great harm, or disturbance
to our business relations during the PEN
dency of this imbroglio will occur. 1t
will be better for our business men, and for
Rutland that this question be settled now
with fair understanding of what the
future is to be, than have the question as
it is, constantly vexing our community.
We hear it claimed that the proprletors
of the hotels have no right to close their
doors. There is 40 impeachment in law
to such a COURSE. They own their Houses
and have just as much right to shut them
as any merchant has to close his store, al
though it may be impolitic to do it.
We have stated fairly and considerably
the question at issue, and have stated our
position so that it cannot be misunder-
stood. Let wise counsels prevail oonsid-
crate action, mark all demonstrations, and
avoid all hasty movement. No extreme
expressions on either sides should be used,
and the issue of the hour be met with
calmness and decision, and abide the re-
suit. Let justice, honor, fairness and
charity pervade all our actions and de-
monstrate that although an important
issue is left for us to decide, that it
can be settled without violence and
with malice toward moi e and charity to
all"

POPULAR AND USEFUL LECTURES
No more agreeable and profitable series of
lectures could be secured in community
than the four lectures of Rev. o. B. Bid
well, editor of the most celebrated and
choice literary magazine the EtectIc. His
lectures are descriptive of travels in the
foreign countries. We have too few of
these useful and instructive class of lec-
lures. All will remember those of Rev.
W. s. Balch, d. D., of Ludlow few
wears ago. DIR. Balch gave more instruc-
ton and information to the people of
Vermont in the evening spent in lecturing
on his foreign tours, than we venture to
say has ever be obtained by the people OF
the State than from all other sources COM
bined except from actual observation.
Mr. Bidwell's lectures are of the same
class. He ought to be secured in many OF
our towns during the coming winter, and
can be if desired. He is clergyman OF
great reputation, traveller of large OBJ
servation aud a literary man of the
choicest culture The following embraces
the topics of the four lectures:
i. Rise and Fail Of BabyE0n-Illustrated
by maps and drawings; plan of Babylon,
eight feet square ; plan of present ruins ;
Tower of BABEL, six feet high three
other drawings of the ruins of Nimrod,
Babel, and the old Palace of Nebuchad-
nezzar The lecture has been much ad-
mired and highly appreciated by all who
have heard it, Astounding as it does, with
historic facts, and showing the exact full
filment of the Prophecies of Isaiah.
3. Missions IN tie Turkish Empire
This lecture is also illustrated by large
| map of the Bible Lands, and interspersed
with great variety OF interesting facts,
biblical and historical. 1t shows the
wonderful progress of Professionalism, the
decline of Mahommedanism, and the
rapid advance of free ideas in those orr
entail countries. This lecture was deliver
ed 1877 times in England, and always re-
eeived with great satisfaction.

THE NEW ROAD TO WALLINGFORD
on the west side of the Otter Creek is now
open to travel. People travelling from
Rutland to Wallingford will find this
new route to be at once pleasant, direct,
and at the same time almost perfectly
level. This road has long been required
and at various times efforts have been
made to establish it. But the opposition
was always so strong that the efforts have
failed, until two orthree years ago Frank
lin Post took hold of the matter, and
although he has met with powerful op-
position at every turn, yet with the help
of portion of the people of Clarendon
and cordial support of his own towns
men he has triumphed, and the new road
stands to-day as an enduring monument
of the enterprise and indomitable perseve-
rance Of it's protector.
Lately Mr.. Post has opened new road
leading from the depot in Wallingford to
the new factory of the Botcheller Manu-
featuring Company. This road was
necessary not only 70, the convenience of
this new enterprise, bat it is really the
southern terminus of the new road from
Rutland, and was necessary in order to
open route that would be direct and
pleasant through that part of the village
of Wallingford. This road is quite APP
propriately called Factory Street" and
was opened and built entirely by Mr..
Post. He had to move the blacksmith
shop of Mr.. Clark and purchase new
site for him, but at last the whole route is
completed and open to tho public.
