Accident on the Vt. Central.

The freight train, which left White
River junction at 3 10 A. Nj. Monday,
encountered sand-slide about a mile
from Sharon station, cau.ed by the thaw
aud rain Of Sunday. The snow-plow
caught in the sand and turned under,
carrying the cow-catcher with it, raising
the engine up, and, with the obstruction
of the sand, bringing il 10 dead stop.
Next TO the engine were some platform
cars. The stop was so sudden, and the
momentum of the train so great, that the
first car was thrown forward over the en-
CINE, carrying away the cab, whistle,
bell, and smoke stack. The second car
landed on the engine. The engineer,
fireman, and brakeman were on the
engine at the time. The engineer, Sid
ney Bliss, threw himself out of the win
dow of the cab, escaping with some inju-
I ries about the head-nothing serious, it
is hoped. The second car caught the
fireman against the boiler, mangling the
upper part on Of his body in an awful
maner. His head was separated from
his body: his skull was so crushed that
his brain exuded; his chest was
laid open, exposing his heart and lungs.
The brakeman escaped by dropping be-
tween the boiler and the tender. In the
saloon were the conductor, Ebenezer Mil
Ter, brakeman, and an engineer named
Taylor. They all escaped without injury
but were violently shaken up. Some six
or seven cars were more or less injured.
There were two extra trains following,
but they succeeded in stopping without
causing any further damage.
The freman's name was Eugene Has.
sam, age about twenty-five years. His
father lives in Roxbury, Vt. The re.
mains were taken up, arranged as well
possible, and taken TO Roxbury by the
express train.-Eree Press.

A CARD.-We the undersigned hereby
return our thanks to the ladies of Cam
bridgeport for the beautiful sofa and
other presents, which we received at their
hands as Christmas gifts; and also to
the citizens generally, who assembled at
our house, on the afternoon and evening
of Dec. 18th, to the number of nearly
one hundred, and made us donation pres
ents, including cash S45, provision, &C.,
$50, making in all the sum of sll0.
They have shown themselves living,
practical opponents of Christ's blessed
saving. 1t is more blessed to give, than
to receive" We feel, afterall, that pow
erty is not such a terrible thing when
one is surrounded by so many generous,
loving and benevolent friends. The peo-
pie of Cambridgeport are well aware
that ministers people, as well as others,
I" find as they journey through this intri-
cate world that an excellent thing is a
dollar or two" and as God has given un-
to them, most generously have they dis
tributed unto US. Thus far our stay
among them has been very pleasant. and
we hone profitable to them and us. May
God bestow upon them and theirs, the
richest of Heavens blessings btoh spir-
itual and temporal. Wishing them. one
am all, "Merry Christmas and "Hap'
nv New Year." we sub cribe ourselves,

ANOTHER DISTURBANCE AT CAvEN-
DIsH.-We learn that since the result at
Woodstock in the notorious Bent case,
has been published, and on the eve of the
29th ult., while a party of dancers were
civilly enjoying themselves at Walkers
Hall, in Cavendish, james Fitton, fol-
lowed by IA employees at Spring Mills,
! between the hours of II and II o'clock,
entered the hall and drove everybody
out but the musicians. All the intruders
especially the leader, were more or less
under the influence and guidance of in
toxicating liquors. Several of the ladies
were seriously injured in the melee, and
the men were even more severely han
died. The next day the proprietor of
the mill raised the Stars and Stripes over
his factory building, as is supposed in ex-
ultation of the success of the rioters AT
our latest report the flag was taken down

M er the Bent affair occurred, and rumor:
of other lawless acts and doings there
have been but too current. Is there
need of a police regulation in that here
tofore peaceable and quiet township; Of
will the Shrewsbury scenes yet be re-en
acted there ? We hope, for the credit o
our State, no new history of conflicts vii
need to be recorded.
Our informant says that much excite

your Sewing Machines, and since then l
have done with it, not only all the ordi-
nary family sewing, but also all our MILL
merry and mantua making, besides frequent
ly encroaching upon the tailor's peculiar
province; and this for a family of eight
adults. Several of them were grown, en-
gagged in business or professional life. l
have wrought on various kinds of material,
from Swiss muslin and silk to heavy beaver
cloth and morocco, and have two bed quilts
every stitch inwhich, piecing, quilting and
binding, was done on the machine. When
purchased, l was perfect novice, never
having worked on any kind of machine
The agent was miles away, and there was
not then, as now,, other Wheeler & Wilson
Machines near by. Still, though never
had five minutes instruction, 1 found no
trouble in learning myself 1t is as COM
pletely under my control as the needle in
my hand, and has never needed any re-
pairs Only two needles have been broken.
One No. needle did all the sewing, coarse
and fine, for ten years. 1t is indeed our
household pet. 1t has paid for itself
more than once in the sewing bills which
it has saved. Mrs. M. A. GAGE.
