THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT ON THE
VERMONT CENTRAL.-No. 2 freight train,
which left White Biver Junction at 3:15
a. m. Monday, encountered sand-slide
about a mile west of Sharon station.
The snow-plow caught in the sand and
turned under, carrying the cow-catcher
with it, raising the engine up, and, with
the obstruction of the sand, bringing it
to dead stop. Next to the engine were
some platform cars. The stop was so sud-
den, and the momentum of the train SO
great, that the first car was thrown for
ward over the engine, carrying away the
cab, whistle, bell, and smoke stack The
second car landed on the engine. The
engineer, fireman, and brakeman were
on the engine at the time. The engineer,
Sidney Bliss, threw himself out of the
window of the cab, escaping with some
injuries about the head-nothing serious,
it is hoped. The second car caught the
fireman against the boiler, mangling the
upper portion of his body in an awful
manner. His head was separated from
his body; his skull was SO crushed that
his brain exuded his chest was laid open,
exposing his heart and lungs. The break
man escaped by dropping between the
boiler and the tender. In the saloon were
the conductor, Ebenezer Miller, brake
man, and an engineer named Taylor.
They all escaped without injury, but were

How "a King Euchred "a Priest.

Not long ago King Victor Emanuel of
Italy was very sick, with some unspellable
and unpronouncable disease. Being sup
posed to be dying, the King bad to have
confessor, of course. The circumstances
under which he was absolved and re-
ceived the sacrament of the Eucharist are
thus related by a correspondent of LON
don journal:
"The priest, before absolving the King,
told him it was necessary he should make
an abiuration of the offenses which he had
committed against the church. His
Majesty replied: AS Christian l have
lived in the faith of my forefathers, and
am prepared to die in the same !; AS
King, initiating the example of my
I have done what my con
science as sovereign commanded me
to do for my country. | have always
my obligation as a
King from my duties as Christian as
King / have no abjuration to make The
priest, confused by this reply, admins
tered the sacrament, but ON his return to
Pisa, and reporting to Cardinal Corsi, the
what had happened. he was
blamed and enjoined, on pain of church
to return to San Rossore and
demand the abjuration. The priest obeyed,
and returning to the couch of the sick
man, delivered his message. Then the
King told him: IF You come here to
speak to Christian of his approaching
end, l will listen to you with calmness
and gratitude but if you require to speak
about politics, my Ministers are in the
next ROOM The reverend priest made
his way back to Pisa
We trust there is no levity in saying,
since the King got the Eucharist, and got
well, too, that it was the reverend priest
Of Pisa who came out euchred in that lit
tie game, after all. As euohreist,"
Victor Emanuel is success.

spicuous in the financial world; some of

the schools of this village, and rendered
efficient service in that department. He
cheerfully and literally aids in the sup
port of public worship and does not
compromise his conscience by paying the

the sanctuary. His attachment to this
people has led him to take measures to
keep them in remembrance-he has pre-
pared some printed slips of paper, dec
Grated with government stamps; upon
these he has the autograph of many of his
old friends,-they are sure to be remem-
bered. Ii all the lawyers in the land
were marked by such traits of character,

the millennium was at hand. FRANK.

HERRING FISHING ON SCOTTISH WA
TERs.-Did you ever go out for night
with the herring fishers? If you can
stand cold and wet, you would enjoy the
thing hugely, especially if you have a
boating mind. Imagine yourself on board
west-country smack, running out of
Boisdale harbor with the rest of the feet
1t is afternoon, and there is a nice fresh
breeze from the southwest. You crouch
in the stern by the side of the helmsman,
and survey all around you with the inter-
est of novice. Six splendid fellows, in
various picturesque attitudes, lounge
about the great, broad, open hold, and an
other is down in the foreeastle boiling
coffee. If you We're not there, half of
these would be taking their sleep down
below. It seems a lazy business, so far !;
but wait! By sunset the smack has run
fifteen miles up the coast many of the
fleet still keep her company, steering
thick as shadows in the summer twilight
How thick the gulls gather yonder That
dull plash ahead of the boat was the
plunge of a solan goose. That the
herrings are hereabout, and in no
small numbers, you might be sure,
even without that bright phospho-
resent light which travels in patches
in the water to leeward. Now is the
time to see the lounging crew dart
into sudden activity. The boats head is
brought up to the wind, and the sails are
lowered in an instant. One man grips
the helm, another lugs out the back rope
of the net, third the "shunk," or body,
fourth is placed to see the buoys clear
and heave them ont, the rest attend for
ward, keepinga sharp lookout for other
nets, ready in case the boat should run too
fast, to steady her by dropping the anchor
a few fathoms into the sea. When all the
nets are out, the boat is brought bow. on
to the net, the ''swing" Jas they call the
rope attached to, the nett secured to
the smack's bits" and all hands
then lower the mast as quickly as
possible. The mast lowered, secured,
and made all clear for hosting at mo.
ment's notice, and the candle lantern set
up in the IRON stand made for the purpose
of holding it, the crew leave one lookout
on deck, with instructions to call them up
at fixed hour, and turn in below for a
nap in their clothes. Day breaks and
every man is on deck. All hands are
busy at work, taking the net in over the
bow, two supporting the body, the rest
hauling the back rope, save one, who takes
the net into the hold, and another who
arranges it from side to side in the hold to
keep the vessel even. Tweet! tweet that
thin cheeping sound, not unlike the razor
like call of the bat, is made by the
dying herrings at the bottom of the
boat. The sea leeward, the smack's
hold, the heads and arms of the men, are
cleaning like silver. As many of the
fish as possible are shaken loose during
the process Of hauling in, but the rest are
left in the net until the smack gets to
shore. Three or four hours pass sway in
this wet and tiresome work At last, how
ever, the nets are all drawn in, the mast
is hoisted, the sails set, and while the
cook plunges below to make breakfast,

tain commercial items which constitute

placed the number of business places at
62, did so only after patient research for
facts, and the honest conviction that some
20 years experience in the place ought to
post one accurately in the matter; but
the subject was brought up last evening
before several worthies-who do d great
deal towards making gossip and correct
ing statisties-and fully canvassed The
result was, that after sundry and divers
counts and recounts, there was found to
be rs places of business, including certain
cider mills omitted in my report It is
insisted that [ make this correction

me the favor of publishing this, my card,

Important Decision.

An impo rtant decision was rendered on
Tuesday morning by Hon. d. A. Smalley,
United States District Judge, in chambers.
The case was heard by His Honor while
sitting in circuit and may be briefly
stated as follows:
John j. Myers of Rutland, brought a
bill against Seneca M. Dorr OF Rutland
and the Sutherland Falls Marble Com
pany, for dissolution of partnership and
the appointment of a Receiver, which on
hearing was granted by the court and
Redfield Proctor of Rutland was duly de-
signated as Receiver. Messrs. Dorr and
gMyers at the time held an important con-
tract with the Sutherland Falls Marble
Company for the saving and sale OF
marble under which they were doing
business, amounting to 100000 year.
The marble company claimed that the ap-
pointment of a Receiver discharged them
from a further fulfillment of their con-
tract, and refused longer to comply with
its terms and to transact business with the
Receiver. Whereupon the orator, Myers,
amended his bill, making the Marble
Company party, and with the Receiver
applied for an injunction against the
Marble Company from suspending busi-
ness under the contract. The motion was
fully argued sometime since by ex-Chief
Justice Redfeld and i. Edgerton Esq,
for the Marble Company, ex-Justice Prout
for the Receiver and E. J. Phelps, Esq,
for the Orator.
The opinion of Judge Smalley was a
very elaborate and able one. After re-
viewing the case in detail, he held the
following points:
I. That the appointment of the receiver
did not discharge the marble company
from the performance of their contract.
II. That the receiver and the orator
were entitled to an injunction to enable
them to prosecute the business.
III. That the court had jurisdiction
over the marble company under the cir
cumstances of the case so as to enable the
court to enforce the injunction.
The injunction was accordingly issued
upon the filing of bond in $4,000, by
the orator
The opinion was attentively listened to
by many of our leading Attorneys among
whom we noticed Ex-Chief Justice l. F
Redfeld and J. ID. Bryant of Boston I.

PORTLAND AND CH1cAeo.-Tbe te,e-
graph announced last week that the On
tario Parliament had granted charters 70
the Canada Southern land the Canada
Northwestern railway companies. 1t is
now stated that the Canada Southern line
Ris Mr.. w. A. Tbapas1n's link in the pro-
1ected railxcad from Portland to Chicago,
i and that the charter authorizes him to
build ca the broad or narrow guage, and
Y to connect at the st. Clair river with the
Z Michigan Air Line and at the Niagara
with the Ontario Shore road. The char
ter requires the company to complete its
Organization by Nov. l, 1879, and to build
the road tn three years from that date.

The FLooD AT MoNTPELIER.-The
severe storm of Sunday commenced in
this place early in the morning by a fall
of about two inches of snow, turning to
rain before noon, the rain continuing to
fall rapidly during the afternoon and
evening, when the wind arose, and wind
and rain seemed to contend for the mas
terry during almost the entire night. The
Winoosh river was broken up, the ice be-
coming damned up at the "arch bridge"
across the pond, completely filing the
road on the Berlin side of the pond, and
jamming in the underpinning and cellar
wall of John Cummings' dwelling house
and partly filing his cellar with ice.
The trestle-work for the railroad bridge
was carried away, and with it the derrick
and tools with which the workmen have
for The past week been repairing the stone
pier under the middle of the bridge. The
damage seems to have been confined to q
space Of less than half mile in the river

gent that they are obliged to keep their
men at work night and day.

Stewart presided at the Pilgrim Supper
the other evening, and with few words
of explanation, read from the history of
Plymouth, statement of the organization
of the Old Colony Club by five gentlemen
of Plymouth, in 1869, and an account,
their members having been increased and
guests invited, of the first celebration held
at Plymouth, December 22d, in that year.
