ARREsTED.-Two men left Brattleboro
on Tuesday, charged with obtaining mon
ey by false pretences and swindling, or
attempting to swindle bill at Rays liv-
cry stable. 1t appears they have been
at work there, and one of them, Godfrey
Fineman, is said to be an expert cigar
maker, and was arrested at Montpelier,
Wednesday afternoon The other, Cas-
per Alker, was arrested here by officer
Walter Taylor, and on the arrival of
Mr.. Ray by next train, tried to lie it out
that his comrade, who is said to be the
biggest rogue of the two in this affair,
got off at Dummerston. He went back
with Ray this Thursday morning to work
out his delinquences, and Taylor expects
to get the other from the Montpelier Off
Ger sometime during the day.

PROBABLY FATAL AccIDENT.-Am most
painful railroad accident occurred on the
Montpelier Branch of the Central Rail-
road last Friday. Mr.. Freeman Alex
ander, who resides at the Shepard place
took the train from Montpelier at FIVE
o'clock to ride out home. Arriving at
the crossing near his residence, he jump
ed from the train, while it was in usual
motion. Somehow, he tripped so as to
fall across the track, and portion Of the
train passed over him, cutting off both
his legs below the knee. His life proba-
bly, cannot be saved. Mr.. A. is about
thirty-fve years old, is an industrious,
Woodworking farmer, and but few days
since moved to the Shepard farm to have
charge of the work this season.

MAPLE SUGAR.-In this immediate vi
cinity the sugar season opened very well
last week, and several parties made con-
siderable of very excellent quality. j.
ID. Bridgman has two orchards tapped,
from which he made sugar Of very excel
lent and fine quality, and of which we
have liberal specimens of both sugar
and syrup. 2. S. Since writing the fore
going we have seen specimen Of dry
sugar, made in Mr.. Bridgman's orchard,
of very superior quality for table use.
We have also some splendid specimens
of sugar from the Hartford Sorghum
Machine Co, of this village made in
one of their eyaporators. We do not
know who made it, but it cannot prob
ably be excelled, while hardly one sugar
maker in hundred will equal it even in
small quantities from "the first run"
We learn that Haskell |. Wiley of Rock
ingham is using one of their evaperators
this season, and has already made sugar
exeelling any ever madei in his neighbor-
hood before. The grain and whiteness
of the evaporator sugar is such that the
cakes we have are almost transparent,
and it is no wonder that such sugar
stands at the head in the market.

GRAFTON SUGAR FEsTIvAL.-The la
dies Of the Baptist church and society
for many years have held an annual fes-
tival in the midst of the sugar season
The great thing is the warm sugar, while
for delicate palates and dyspeptic stom-
achs, brown bread, baked beans, pickles,
hulled corn and milk are always in read
iness. About half past eight the sugar,
just right for waxing on the generously
provided snow, was brought in, and much
of it was eaten, and little perhaps
found its way TO the urchins faces and
clean clothes. The hulled corn is To-
cal celebrity, and, Mr.. Editor, if you
could enjoy one bowl of it, you would
wish to have our festival transferred to
your city. Music of unusual variety
and excellence was provided by Mr..
Holmes, at intervals during the evening.
Added to this was an original poem by
one of our Green Mountain maidens, en-
titled, "The Old Iron Kettle" commem-
Grating the virtues and associations of
the huge old kettle in which our fathers
made their sugar, ere sap-boilers and
sap-heaters were known. 1t was beau
tiful, rural poem, fragrant with the aro-
ma of the woods in spring time. A few
" slices of dry toast" eulogizing the la
dies sugar festivals, and anatbmatizing
satans last social device-femaes suffrage
were read. The Town Hall, which, in
its native state, is not model of taste,
was made beautiful with the profuse
evergreen trimmings, suggesting the
poetic sentiment,
There's destiny that shapes our ends.
Rough hew them We will"
The "destiny" in this case was the
taste and skill of the ladies who shaped
the forms of beauty, which like charity's
mantle covered multitude of defects.
In spite of an unfavorable evening,
and roads rendered almost impossible by
the autumn freshet, the winters SHOWS,
and the springs slush, there was good
number present, and the receipts will
not fall much, if any, short of $50.
