e 31st, stole from Mr. O. Patriode, pants
shirts, vest and hat, in all round or about
SO and ran away. He was followed, but

Canada.

the recent burglaries in Middlebury, was,
on the LIST inst, sent to the Reform School,
Waterbury.
, "A little boy, son of Mrs. Flowers of
our village, was seriously hurt by being
run over by span of horses and sleigh
on the ID inst. His case was attended to
! by DR.. Russell, and at latest accounts he
was getting along well. The injury was
: principally on the head where the horse
struck him with his foot, infiicting seri-
Gus wound over his left eye, cutting
fearful cash.
One Mr.. Skinner, who was arrested
by Sheriff Trip the 2Sth of January, on
complaint of forgery, was brought before
Justice Knapp on the Sd inst, and after
an examination was bound up in the sum
of $4,000 for appearance at the County
Court next June. For want of bail he
was committed to Jail. The crime was
committed in Weybridge. He was ably

There is to be union meeting at the |
Congregational church in our village, I'M
der the auspices of the Young Mems
Christian Association, Tuesday evening,

The Hntchinsons are to give con-
cert at our new hall on Wednesday even
ing the 9th inst. They sing songs worthy
of being heard and in good musical style
and taste. We hope they may have full
house. No one was ever made the worse
by their singing, while on the contrary,
how many have had their souls swell
with patriotic and religious emotion in
listening to their musical appeals for
their country and humanity. Success to
the Hutohinsons
Royal d. Farr and John Champlin of
East Middlebury, were, on complaint of ,
Hon. John W. Stewart, arraigned before |
Justice Slade on the 9th inst, charged !
with selling intoxicating beverages. G
Plead guilty and were fined each $40 and f
costs. n
At about 10 o'clock last Wednesday s
evening, our village was alarmed by the r
ringing of fire bells. The fire was found s.
to proceed from the dry house of Messrs u
Sweeney & Burroughs, manufacturers of n
ioors, &c. The dry house was stored full ii
# splendid pine lumber in process of
Trying and almost ready for removal to r,
he factory, when by some accident the g,
ire was communicated to the lumber. is
The building being very tight the fire II
made slow progress, but it was very diff es
ult to get at to put out. Our engine M
ompanY was on the ground and worked n,
ntil - o'clock, midnight, before they b,
oused their engine. A large quantity ca
the lumber was saved, while the dam in
ge sustained by the company is over sa
500. q.
Messrs. S. & B. however, have with oh
leir usual energy set things going again, tn
nd soon will be all right. They are en- pc
'getic men, and such loss does not effect MI
lem or their business materially. tel
