to be told in Clarkville, and l may say
that the general feeling of the community

BURGLARY.-On Monday night last,
the store and Office of the Rutland Marble
Company at West Rutland, was burglar
iously entered and some ten dollars in
scrip, postage stamps and revenue stamps
stolen therefrom. The appearance of the
place next morning, indicated that the
burglar or burglars had, at first attempt
cd to enter the front door of the store, by
boring hole near the lock, intending after
weakening it in this manner to force the
door open. Having failed to make an
entry in this way, they proceeded to the
back of the building, and by breaking out
a pane of glass, reached the fastening OF
the window, it was then but the work q
minute to raise the sash and get inside of
the store. They next broke open the door
of the inner Office and commenced work
on the safe. A piece of iron from an old
wagon seat was fastened to the floor, and
with the aid of this they commenced to
drill hole in the safe, at the right of the
dial on the door, but soon broke their
drill, leaving part of it in the hole thus
made. A second attempt at drilling was
made but before the hole had become
deep enough TO be Of any use to them, in
their work, they evidently became
frightened, and decamped, leaving some
screws, bits, gimlets, and other tools, and
only taking with them, as the fruit OF
their labors some ten dollars, as before
mentioned, which was in a drawer of the
desk in the Office. Its supposed that they
left about 2 o'clock in the morning, as Mr..
Woodruff, the bookkeeper of the Com
pany, who lives in a house adjoining the
store, being unwell, had occasion to get
up at that hour, and to light lamp, and
ii is probable that the burglars hearing
some one moving in the next house, and
seeing the light thought that they were
overheard, and hastily made their escape
We understand that it has been impossible
to identify the tools, etc., left on the
premises, or to ascertain where they were
purchased.

CHESTER. Mr.. James E. Bolles of the
firm of J. E. & L. A. Bolles, carriage man.
ufacturers, was dangerously kicked in the
abdomen by horse standing near the
shop, Wednesday morning. His situa-
ton is pronounced critical.
Thursday, Mr.. J. Rice, proprietor of
one of our meat markets, was thrown
from his wagon down an embankment, on
the road to Grafton, about two miles from
our village, and severely injured; his re-
covery, however, is assured us, though be
was picked up in an insensible condition
and remained so for long time. Both
parties were highly respected and indus
trious citizens. 1t may not be improper
to state with reference to the latter aooi-
dent, that the road where Mr.. Rice was
injured is not more than ten or twelve
feet, (some say not more than feet,)
wide, and is not protected by any sort of
guard, and it may not be improper to
cogitate over bill of damages.
The dramatic entertainment given by
the ladies of the Congregational Society
Melted over 800, and the performances
were witnessed by large and enthusiast
tic gathering.
ALI losses by the recent fire, which
were covered by insurance through M. J.
Francisco of Rutland, have been paid up
to the perfect satisfaction of all parties
interested.
That problem given by East oval
lingfoid," I believe, some week or two
since, has been solved by one of our fgIr-
lists, and will be demonstrated without the
aid of proportion, by three different pro-
cesses, and if he is the ''irst" who has an
nounced solution, your correspondent
will oblige him by receiving that beauti-
full turkey, pending satisfactory proof and
correct manuscript of the solution.

welded TO ToBACCo.-There is an
old man, residing in this town, who was
formerly a sailor, and is so fond of his pipe
that he gets out of bed four times every
night to have smoke. He retires at 8
o'clock, and at II, 12, 2 and O'Clock gets
up, fills his pipe, has a comfortable
SMOKE" and then, after each smoke, re-
tires to bed again. This practice he has
followed, every night, as long as he can
remember, and says that he could not
sle4p without it.

A VALUABLE BooK.-We have hereto
fore briefly called attention to the fact
that Mr.. N. @. Goddard. a former resident
of Rutland, was in town and canvassing
for subsoribers to q valuable work by the
Rev. J. G.. Wood, of England, entitled
The Uncivilized Races or Natural History
of Man" It is an American reprint, en-
Iarged and improved, of an English pub
LEGATION. In England, the mere fact that
it was written by the Rev. Mr.. Wood
would be sufficient to commend it to all. It
is what it's title indicates, the natural
history of man, and gives complete &C.
count of the manners and customs, and
the physical, social and religious condi-
tions, and characteristics of the uncivil-
lied races of men throughout the world.
In addition to the contents of the English
edition, it also has full description of
the races and people of Alaska and
Siberia, prepared expressly for this edi-
ton by an eminent American traveller.
1t is illustrated with oyer seoen hundred
fine engravlngs from new designs OF
some of the first artists and engraved by
the we'll known Brothers, Dalziel. 1t is
published by the American Publishing
Company of Hartford, Conn, in two
large octave volumes, and will be sold
only by subscription. No public or pri-
vate library should be without copy, as
it is not only very instructive and enter
tanning as book to be read through in
course, but is also invaluable as work of
reference, as the matter contained in
these pages can otherwise be found only
as it is scattered at random through hun
dreds of volumes, and to obtain which
would be beyond the means of most per-
sons, To add to its usefulness there is
also copious and exhaustive index by
the use of which any matter referred to
can at once be found. We trust that the
work will meet with ready sale, as we
feel sure that no one after an examina-
ton of the work would regret the pur-
chase or feel that they could do without
copy.
