MIDDLEBURY.-On the 21st inst, Mrs
WEIGH, domestic in the employ of James
Sullivan was escorted to our County Jail
by our Constable Jacob Dewey, assisted
by J. Cobb special police, for breach OF
the peace, while in a state of semi-intoxi.
cation. After remaining until the fume,
of the liquor had disappeared, she wa.
brought before John II. Simmons. ESQ
Justice of the Peace, where she refused to
disclose where the "pizen" was obtained
and was consequently remanded to prison
to await further Development. When
taken into custody she was noisy even to
boisterousness. So much for rum when
imbibed it knows no sex or condition in
life. All are enclosed by its potent power
and crime is its necessary accompani-
ment.
"A young lady neice of Mr.. Rider,
Druggist in our village, was run over by
horse and wagon on our village bridge,
last Saturday, and strange to say, was not
materially injured. This driving horses
as though the last hour Of life was at issue
is foolish indeed. Seldom is there any
excuse for the act. But az this is fast
age we must allow many things that are
necessarily hurtful At least SO many
would argue and many practice.
The Bogus Hutchinsons" advertised
that they would give a concert in our
Academy Hall last Friday evening. For
some reason however they failed to appear
much to the disappointment of some who
found their way to the Hall, only to re-
turn home to ruminate on the instability
of all things humsn.
Much interest is taken in our County
Fair to come off the 9th, 28th and 29th
in our village. The grounds and halls
are puv in first rate order for exhibition
of the variety that will undoubtedly be
entered from all parts of the county.
Should the weather be pleasant, we pre-
dict large attendance and a good show
of various commodities. Notwithstand-
ing the dry season, Addison County has
in many parts been blessed with rains,
that have increased and matured crops
very finely. Corn crop is good, wheat,
rye and oats fully up to the average,
while potatoes seem to have suffered
most. Fruit is exceedingly plenty, par
ticularly apples. Some farmers have sold
as low as 25 cents per bushel goad fruit.
Large quantities of cider will be made
in this section. This is the only way to
save loss that will otherwise occur from
fruit falling on the ground.
The second quarterly meeting of the
M. e. Church of thi station was held last
Sabbath. The presiding Elder, Rev. b.
Eaton, preached in the evening one OF his
sound scriptural discourses. The sermon
in the forenoon was by Rev. Mr. Baily,
and was happy effort, full of telling
points and beautiful illustrations. His
theme was the "F illness there is in Christ

INDIAN RELICs.-An Indian grave,
supposed to be that of buried warrior,
was recently discovered on the farm of
Joseph johnson, near the village of East
Randolph. The grave contained large
number of arrow and spear points in
various stages of construction, also half
finished tomahawk. There was nothing
about the implements of warfare TO indi-
cate that those who made them had any
knowledge of the white men.

Hon. Henry Keyes.
The State is again called upon to mourn
the loss of another of its prominent citi-
zens in the death of Hon. Henry Keyes
OF Newhury. He was taken seriously i'll

remained during the following day and
left the next morning for home. We
feared az we babe him farewell that death
had set his seal upon him. His illness
resulted in bilious and typhoid fever
for ten days, but his case was not con-
sidered hopeless until Friday night last,
and dea tn came at six o'clock on the
Saturday evening following.

TIE WRONG PEw.-Russen, of the
Boston Trarelcr, when on his late round
the world trip, 1T Rome got into the
wrong pew" and, in trying to beat his
way into the Sistine Chapel when the
palace was closed, found himself lost in
the private apartments of the Pope, whom
twice he passed in the garden without
being noticed. On retracing his steps,
climbing out of balcony into the private
sitting room, and descending long flight
Of stairs TO The private carriage entrance,
he learned from the good-natured French
sentinel that he had been all the while in
danger Of arrest, and nothing but his zap
pearing as if he belonged there had saved
him from prison.

CAPRERA, Sept. Z

To Ny FRIENDS:
Yesterday 1 said to you, "War to the
knife against Bonaparte." [ say to you
to day, at is necessary to help the French
republic by all possible means" An in
valid myself, have offered myself to the
provisional government of Paris, and !
hope that it will not be impossible for me
to fulfil duty. Yes, my fellow-country-
men, we ought to esteem it a sacred duty
to help our French brethren.
Our mission will certainly not exist in
fighting our brothers of Germany, who,
being the arm of Providence, have hurled
into the dust the germ of the tyranny
which weighed heavily on the world, but
we shall go in order TO sustain the only
system which can secure peace and pros
perity between nations.
I repeat that we must uphold in all pos
sible ways the French republic, which,
restored to wisdom by the lessons of the
past, will always be one of the firmest
supports of the regeneration of the hu-
man race. GARIBALDL

PERKINsvHLE.-Two toads were found
in hardpan, sixteen feet below the surface,
by Dan. G. Richardson, in a well being
dug on land of W. NJ. Pingry. When
first uncovered they were in q torpid state,
but soon showing signs Of life, increased
in size and became quite active. The earth
for the whole sixteen feet in depth was so
hard that it could not be moved with a
shovel or hoe, but was all loosened with a
pick. Quere: Have these toads been
there in a torpid state since the deluge, or

DEATH OF I. D. COLE.-We regret to
announce the death of Isaac D. Cole,
which took place at the residence of Mel
yer Edison, yesterday (Monday.) Mr.. Cole
was for a number of years prominent
among the young business men Of Rut-
land, having established the extensive
clothing business at No. Is Merchants
Row which was at first, we believe, car
ried on under the firm of Cole q Foster
and afterwards by Mr.. Cole alone. Sub
sequently he formed a partnership with
Henry W. Kingsley, and for some time
transacted the business with him as Cole
q Kingsley until some year or two ago
he was compelled by failing health to re-
tire from business.
Mr.. Cole was for many years a copsis-
tent member of the Baptist Church o.
this village, and was for long time Us
clerk and one of its executive of1icers aud
was superintendent of the Sabbath school
of that Church. He was also one Of the
earliest probe pa and f}-e.7 - Of the
! Young Mems Cnristian Ass citation OF
Rutland, and as long as his health per-
mitted was a constant attendant on their
meetings and an able and willing assist
ant in their missionary enterprises, Hi,
death will make a vacancy in the Associ-
alton, Church and community which will
be sadly felt and sincerity mourned.
His funeral was attended at s o'clock
last evening at the house of Mr.. Eison by
Rev. Edward Mills, pastor of the Baptist
Church assisted by the Rev B. NJ. Hall,
pastor of the Methodist Church, the mem
bers of the Young Mems Christian Associ
alton attending in body having adjourn

tically until we could truly say in the
words of the same sweet poet,
$40, the wondering world awakes,
With its rosy-;ipped mountains and cleaning
lakes.
Calm old cliffs, and sounding seas,
FIELDS and cities, deserts and trees
In all their gratitude praising Him,
Who dwelleth between the Cherubim."
As if by some Irresistible impulse, one
of our number began to sing that grand
old anthem, PRAISE God from whom all
blessings flow" AS we all joined him,
and, perhaps for the frat time, a song OF
praise went up from that lofty mountain
| top, we wondered whether the time might
not come when from every mountain peah
a morning song of praise would rise to the
great Creator
But there is only step from the sub
lime to the ridiculous, and we were all
absurdly hungry, SO tents were struck
bough houses deserted, blankets packed
leaves and bits of moss collected asmemen
toes, and with many last lingering look
behind we descended to the scene of oul
nocturnal feast. Again a fire was kindled
and a hearty "d'ejeuner-a-fourchette" par
taken of, and rested and refreshed, bu
with great reluctance we commenced ou
descent into the every day world
Our western friend thought the excur
sion far from complete, because we had
not seen any prairies, but nevertheless
think none of us regretted, or will eve
forget, one night among the mountains

LEXINGTON, Ky, August 1.-The election

precautionary measures adopted feared great
violence. The negroes are jubilant at the
prospect Of exercising for the first time their

Extra police have been detailed, and all
