RAILROAD ACcIDENT.-The Montreal
Express down on Tuesday morning, con-
ductor BOWS train, was thrown from the
track few miles below Windsor on
Cornish Fiat, and had narrow escape
from serious catastrophe. As it was
no one was seriously injured and only
a few got even slight bruises. 1t was
caused by broken rail over which the
engine passed safely but the cars were
thrown off and over on oneside, thorough
ly shaking up the passengers. Had the
accident occurred but few rods above
it would have been more serious. The
passengers were very thankful for their
escape and made no complaints

who will aid in the entertainment. She
will be assisted by Prof E. X, Harlow
and Mr.. II. A. L. Peabody, piansts, and
the programme embraces Saroni's beau
tiful Operetta of the Twin Sisters. Sew
eral of our best vocalists of this village

ing faithfully 10 give us good enter

Westminster Fair.

The Westminster Agricultural Asso,
c'a''on held their second annual Fair on
thursday Of last week. The weather
though not clear was very favorable
and the exhibition both in quantity and
interest in nearly all departments ex-
eeeded even their fine success of lastyear.
The attendance like the exhibition was
also large and much in excess OF last
year, being over 1000 aud estimated by
some to be near 5000. 1t was very
complete success and highly creditable
to the we'll known reputation of the
enterprising farmers and good people of
old Westminster.
The West Parish team was one of the
attractions of the day, entering the
street during the forenoon, with "Indus-
try" inscribed on their banner. The
car was drawn into the village by o7er
thirty yoke of oxen, and contained the
West Parish choir, who gave some ex-
cellent and appropriate music for the
occasion. They were received of course
with rousing cheers. The car was drap-
ed in green, and richly decorated with
great variety of vegetables. 1t was one
ofthe most pleasing features of the day.
Among those present from the West
Parish, and taking lively interest in
the proceedings, was the venerable Da-
vld Gorhdm, who we believe has lived
in that Parish some seventy-two years
and who is now eighty-four years of age.
He may fairly be reckoned among the
early settlers and now at least as one of
the fathers Of the town.
The show of horses was interesting
and good. There were FIVE sucking colts,
all from one sire, which attracted par
ticular attention for their fine promise.
The sire of these colts was also on the
ground, is but three years old we believe,
and owned by d. w. Leach. OF other
horses, there were some good trotters to
which the awards testify elsewhere.
The cattle were out in large force, of
which were w. r. Kimball's Jerseys,
and some very nice grades. There were
some forty yokes of fine oxen on the
ground. Of their distinguishing features
the premium list will give the best idea.
Sheep were not out in full force. The
fame of Westminster on sheep was made
world wide years ago, and we suppose
she does not need to exert her usual en-
terprise in this direction to preserve her
reputation. There were some good spec
linens on exhibition, however, of both
fine and coarse wools A valuable South
Down buck was exhibited by j. J. Flint,
of Putney, and is the same which took
the sweepstakes premium at the New
England Fair. We believe it was form
erly owned in Rhode Island. Mr.. Flint
purchased it and consequently it will
now be owned in this County.
The poultry were quite fully repres-
ented, and of excellent quality, among
which was couple of coops of beauti-
full Seabright bantums. The Leghorns,
Brahmas, &c, we're up to high stan
dard.

TOWN HALL.

The old and historic Town HAIL.
built in ITO, and now just an hundred
years old-was filled with a great varie-
ty of nice things the products of the
garden and handiwork of fair hands.
Large traces of beautiful corn decorat-
ed one corner, and the vegetables of all
kinds were very abundant. Among the
latter was mammoth squash, rivaling
those at the County Fair. 1t was raised
by NJ. w. Davis, and weighed ISL lbs.
The fruits were fine and abundant.
Will. Fisher had fine showing of Porter
apples, displayed upon an historic platter.
1t was one of the old style large pewter
platters, nice article in its day, and
now an interesting heir loom in the fam.
ily of Nathan Fisher. 1t is over one
hundred years oil, and was brought to
this country several generations ago, and
still distinctly bears the London imprint
or stamp of the manufacturer on the
back. Michael G. Page had forty vari-
cites of apples, and Sylvester Grout sew
eral cases of very nice apples, pears, DC.
O. l.. Fisher mad five varieties of fine
grapes, and NJ. NJ. Whitney, of this
place, had an equal number of varieties
of some of the best we have seen this
season.
o. F. Peck had pyramid or cake of
the best maple sugar that ever graced
the stand of fair. Not even the mod
ern sap evaporator of the Hartford Sor-
ghum Machine Co. would think of ex.
ceiling it, and we are quite sure that
nothing but the Peck system could have
produced it. He also had a box of
splendid white clover honey. Add 20
this the splendid samples of butter by
Mrs. Frank Richmond and Mrs. n.
johnson, and good display of cheese
and canned fruits, and you have the full
proof that the old Town Hall was filled
with the sweet and fat of the land.
DOMESTIC AND FANCY ARTICLES.
In the manufacture of domestic goods
the housewives of Westminster showed
themselves to be fair competitors for the
honors which our grand and great
erand-mothers enjoyed when the loom
and spinning-wheel had corner In
every farmhouse. There were five fine
specimens of yarn by Mrs. +. II. Har'
low. some toweling by Mrs. W. Hitch
cock and Mrs. J. Harris, with rugs,
earpeting, fancy bedquilts, patchwork
spreads, &C., enough to establish the rep
utation of the ladies who we're repre-
scented in this department for both in
dustry and skill. The tables which
were devoted to fancy articles were at
tractive, and useful and ornamental ar
ticles we're displayed with taste. Flow
