DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN EAST PoULT-
NEY.-About 3 o'clock Monday morning
large fire, probably the largest ever in
that neighborhood, occurred in East
Poultney, consuming property estimated
in value from $4,000 to $4,000 1t is
supposed to have been the work OF an in
cendiary, as the fire was seen to issue
from two buildings one hundred feet from
each other, about the same time.
The following are the losers :-Ormsby,
factory for wooden ware, &c, loss about
$4,000, said to be partially insured. Mr..
Joseph Mears looses saw mill rece ntly
repaired, valued at $4,000, no insurance.
Dewey & Cooper, manufacturers of car
riages, sleighs, &C., loss $4,000, no insur-
ance. Messrs. Willard, lumber dealers,
loss $500, insured for $500. Widow
Broughton's dwelling, loss $500 or $1,000,
insured for $400. A covered bridge was
also burned, valued at some $4,000. Also

PRoCToRsvILLE.-T MUCH Fire
On the 9th inst. Messrs. Parker and Piper
set fire to the brush accumulated from
their wood cutting on about fifty acres Of
land which last year they purchased Of
Col. Redield Proctor, with a view to clear
the land and SOW oats thereon. The fire
burned nicely, and cleared the ground,
but was not content TO stop there, and,
like the old slave-power, went beyond its
constitutional limits. and consumed some
$50 cords Of wood cut for market and
piled on the border of the lot They suf-
fer thereby to the tune OF abont 500.
They are enterprising young men, how
ever, industrious, frugal, and good mana
gers, and viii soon make mp their loss.

years old, son of Peter lamar, of Dut-

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
OF 1S50.-The town of Rutland was not
represented in the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1850. At the meeting for the cleo
ton of a delegate Hon. Robert Pierpoint
was the candidate of the Wing party, and
Jonathan c. Thrall of the Democratic
party. When the box was turned it APP
peared that there was one ballot on one
side of which was the name r. Pier
point" aud on the reverse &c. ThraH,"
the other ballots being equally divided.
If it was counted for Judge Pierpoint, he
would have majority of one and have
been elected if rejected, there would be
tie vote and no election of delegate. 1t
was decided by majority of the board of
civil authority to count it as vote for
"R. Pierpoint," and, against the protests
of the friends of Mr.. Thrall and minor
ity of the board of civil authority. he was
declared elected; and a majority of the
board announced that the meeting was
dissolved and left the hall. The minority
of the board. after protesting against the
decision of the majority without avail, de-
clared the result of the vote tie, and that
there was no choice of delegate, and di-
reeted the voters Tor such of them as re-
mained) to prepare and cast their ballots
again for delegate. This was done, and
as the result thereof Martin G.. Everts
was declared duly elected as the delegate
from the town of Rutland, he having re-

The Addison House is being put in
state of thorough repair for the ensuing
season. New furniture is also supplied,
and mine host, Darwin Rider, Esq, will
be in. trim style for the reception and
entertainment of visitors from all parts,
who may wish to make our pleasant viii
lage summer residence. Among all the
villages that adorn our valley, and nestle
at the base of our own Green Mountain,
there is none more inviting than Middle
bury. With first rate public house,
kept in as good style as any one can wish,
and as the well known character of its
proprietor is sure to secure, all may rest
assured that the comfort and enjoyment
of all is beyond dispute. With well fur
nished tables, clean apartments and clean
beds, an attentive corps of walters to
minister to the wants of the public, no
one can fail of having every reasonable
wish gratifed. There is also attached to
the house well furnished livery stable of
good horses and carriages for drives among
our hills, and to the mountains Astounding
in scenery of the most picturesque char
acter. 1t will be the special pleasure of
Mr.. Rider and his accomplished, COM
petent, genial clerk, f. W. Pierce, to cater
to the wants, pleasure and taste of all who
may make the Addison House their home
this summer for longer or shorter time.
Visitors from our cities to our State we
are sure --ot find place where better
facilities can be found for comfort and
enjoyment than in Middlebury, and no
hotel possessing better accommodations
for health or pleasure than the Addison
House.
The continued dry weather has been
the occasion of numerous fires on our
mountains, destroying large tracts of valu-
able wood and timber.

audience. We trust he may be success
full in bringing many souls to the Saviour
and building the church up in holiness
ana goou works the ensuing year.
Quite number of sales of real estate
have been effected in our village within q
few days at fair prices, and the prospect
is that new buildings will soon be put

CAsTLEToN-The death of Albert
Loveland, one of our most worthy young
men, occurred at his fathers residence
Saturday, the 23rd. His funeral was at.
tended the Monday following. He had
been confined to the house most of the
winter he leaves wife and a young
child. His life WAS insured for one thons.
and dollars, the policy being issued in
June. This is the first instance of u death
in this town of an individual whose life
was insured.
Victor Atwood, promising boy of 10
years, was buried i'll our cemetry last
Thursday. He was the eldest son of d.
H. Atwood, who moved into town last
fall, and resides on the Langdon farm,
adjacent to the village. He was for some
time a student in the Seminary, and hav-
ing been much esteemed by his teachers
and fellow-student-, they attended his
funeral in body, and singing funeral
hymn at the grave. He was also a mem
Der of the Lodge of Good Templars at
Fairhaven, where he formerly resided, and
in was the employ of Dir. n. A. Adams as
clerk in his store. The Lodge was also
quite largely represented. The exercises
at the funeral were conducted by Rev. S..
c. Mathewson, assisted by Rev. r. G..
Williams, of the Seminary and Normal
School, and by Rev. III. L. Grose, of
Hydeville.
"A week ago last Sabbath, ON the oc-
casion of the Communion service, al the
Congregational church, fifteen persons
were received into membership by pro-
fession of faith. Eighteen have now unit
ed with this church, as the fruit of the
protracted meetings held here last winter.
1t is expected that more will JON the
church at the next Communion, the first
Lords day in July.
One of the oldest, most wealthy, and
ought to be among our most respected cit
liens was brought before Chester Spencer,
Esq, last Wednesday, charged with sell
ing cider contrary to law. The charges
were fully sustained, and he was fined
one hundred and fifty dollars and costs.
He appealed to county court and gave
bail in the sum of one hundred dollars.
This is the second time he has been ar
raigned before justice for trafficking in
cider to poor people, on Sundays and on
all other days in the week, at % cents

Dead in the Street.

Under this head, the Chicago Pro1ibs-
tion5st relates the following sad case,
which points a moral which we wish
every young lady could be induced to
heed, and every man to take warning
from:
''On Saturday evening last, between
seven and eight o'clock, while some gem
tlemen were passing along Wabash ave-
nue., they observed man, whom they
supposed intoxicated, standing with his
arms about the trunk of tree. They ap.
preached, shook him, and to their horror
found that he was dead. The men knew
him well. The body was taken by the
proper officials to the armory, to await an
inquest on Sabbath morning. The wife
of the man was summoned from the resi-
dence of her father, to look upon all that
renamed of a once noble and beloved
husband.
"Only few years ago, George Ahern,
q partner in one of the largest book-bind-
cry and stationery houses on Lake street,
led to the altar an accomplished and beau
tiful daughter of one of our prosperous
citizens The marriage ceremonies were
solemnized in one of the most aristocratic
churches on Wabash avenue. The edifice
was decorated for the occasion carpets
were laid upon the sidewalk, as if to pre-
vent contact with rugged world. Every
accessory that wealth could bring was
called into requisition, to lend grace and
charm to the festive occasion. To all
outward appearances, the newly welded
pair were about starting in life, inspired
by the most promising auguries. The
angel of peace showered blessings upon
them, and friends everywhere murmured
their responsive gratulations. Five years
pass, and that bride is under her fathers
roof, the lonely widow of a drunken
man Easy is the descent to the shades.
The large hearted, generous, cornwall
Ahern descends through all gradations of
Equor-drinking, from mirth and festivity
to reeling drunkenness and complete ruin.
The plying snow falls upon him as he
reels along the aristooratic pavement he
lately trod with such lordly pride. A
few doors from the home which he took
bluahing and happy bride, he pauses and
staggers, as If dim recollections of forms
of former blessedness stole upon his Wis.,
ion. What passed within that crazed
mind for the few minutes that interviewed
between the falling of ife's curtain, and
the lifting of the veil of immortality, is
written only on the black board of eternal
record. Near the aristocratic church,
near the paternal mansion, near her, but
unknown to all, the poor, disfgured, des-
pissed aud demoralized George Ahern
stood, trembled, grasped tree, and died.
There like Lots wife, a cold pillar of
alcohol, he stood trapsfxed, uttering
mute warning to all---Remember.
