named Stacy got on board at Dandy, and
just after the train had got under good
Roadway, he, while standing upon the
platform Of one Of the cars, lost his hat.
Turning to the conductor, who happened
to be staining near, he said "Pnt my
trunk off at Dorset" and sprang off the
train. He was watched, and after throw
ing several somersaults ahead, rose to his
feet and started back, it is supposed after
his hat. Whether he recovered it or not
we have not learned bnt we do know that
he called at Dorsc and procured his

A INV AND DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.
A new ccuntefeit of the latest issue of
the fifty cent currency has made its APP
.pearance, which although the engraving
is of coarse charactar and the fine lathe
work wanting, though initiated coarsely,
yet it is well calculated to deceive. The
red and blue 6beres in the paper of the
genuine are inflated by printing in the
counterfeit, the long beard Of Secretary
Stanton is darker and the fgurcs"5
the right hand are surrounded by solid
black instead of fine lines as in the geuu.
Inc. On the reverse, the counterfeit may
be distinguished by the IS" in "Customs"
falling to touch the line encircling the
large oval to the next, and also by the alb.
sencc Of shading aud the fine lines around
the 30" in the corners.

terrible storm, which swept down trees
and telegraph posts, and swelcd and over

The surrender of Bazainc, took nobody
by surprise. 1t was certain ever since
the departure OF Boyer. For several
preceding days, the French pickets were
drawn in, and the firing entirely ceased.
A week ago it was understood that the
food in the fortress was so nearly exhaus.
ted that the men were put on the shortest
possible ratons. This, added to the un-
favorable weather and the rapid increase
of sickness, rendered the army desperate.
A large delegation of men went to Ba-
zaine, not insubordinate, but desired to be
led ont to assault en- masse. They pre-
ferred to die on the field to Starvation
Bazaine spoke to them kindly and affec-
tionately, and declared he was ready to
die with them anywhere. He represented
the hopelessness of doing anything in their
present weakened condition, being almost
destitute of horses, even if they cut thro'
the line. He stated that terms for honor
able capituation were being considered,
and he hoped soon to relieve his brave
men from the terrible situation.
This quoted the army, but the rules
were so relaxed that several bodies went
over to the German lines without opposi-
ton.

Our item gathcrcr at Stowe makes
the announcement that Mr.. II. +. Barnes
has sold his Drug Store, stock in trade,
and residence to Gates Brothers. who will
hereafter dispense what physic may be
needed at the old stand. Mr.. Barnes es-
tablished the business about eight years
ago, under circumstances that would have
deferred most men from doing so; and
even some of his friends had serious doubts
of his success /; but by pluck, energy and
fair dealing-giving every one just what
they bought-=he has built up.a dourishing
businss which has become one of the in
stitutionS of Stowe. Mr.. Barnes success,
we may say, is partly due to liberal use
of printers ink. That he has paid out
100000 in advertising since he went in
to business (the receipt of liberal share
of which is 'hereby acknowledged" may
appear strange to some, but he has done
it, and thinks his Investment good one,
He has not yet decided where he will a.
gain go into business, and we would re-
greet exceedingly to have him leave the
county, but wherever he may go, the good
wishes of the people here will accompany
him. ....
The principal successor in the business,
Carroll Gates, has baen in Mr.. Barnes
employ for two years, and obtained tho
rough knowledge of the business. He has
ever been prompt and accurate and cour-
teous to all persons doing business at the
store. We bespcak for Gates Bros. a gen
erous share of public patronage.

! NEW lOTEL IN DURLlNGloN .--luc new
hotel in Burlington, called the "VanNess
House." on the site of the old Howard y
was opened to the public on Tuesday Of
last week, by Barber & Ferguson. Mr.
Barber will be remembered as the propri-
etor OF the " Howard" and Mr.. Fergu-
son as the courteous clerk of the "Ameri-
can Hotel "a position held by hun for a
long time The Free Press describes the
new hotel as follows:
"No longer can it be said that the
Queen City is wanting in frst-class ho-
tel. The travelling public, who have hith-
erto found our hotel accommodations quite
too limited, may now find increased ac-
commodatons in a house worthy Of their
patronage, and one we think we'll adapted
to their wants. ...
The doors of the Van Ness House are
thrown open this morning for the recep-
ton of guests, and we should be sadly
negligent in our duty, cid VIC fail to call
the attention of Burlington visitors TO this
important fact. ......
We were invited yesterday to take a
look through the house IN its completed
condition, and have found it Just what
our anticlpations had pictured it when a
few weeks since we strolled through it for
few notes of its interior arrangements.
1t is, in a word, model of convenience
and comfort which is sometimes more than
can be said Of larger and more preten-
tious city hotels. 4...

we may Judge anything from the look of
exquisite neatness and care which each
room evinced, we should say that their
future occupants will be subjects of our
sincere congratulation.
altogether we say that the Van Ness
House will be an inn in which even the
most notional may take his case. The
junior partner, Mr.. o. b. Ferguson, will
attend to the Office business of the House,

popularity is no small advantage to any
