Alive In his Coffin ut his Grave.

James Hickey Of Birmingham very
narrowly escaped being buried alive
tho other day. He had smallpox of
Il bad type, and becoming worse and
worse, he finally as his friends sup-
posed, expired. The remains were
not kept long, the friends being afraid
of the disease. Arrangements were
made for the funeral and the coffin
was placed in the hearse. On rca CHI
ing the cemetery the attention of tho
driver of the hearsc was attracted by
noise in the coffin, and he made it
known to the pall-bearers. The coffin
was taken out, and the lid was taken
off, and Hickey Immediately raised
up terrified. as we're all those around.
He was taken home, and at last ac-

FIRE AT WINoosKI-We clip the
the following from the Burlington Free
Press of April 10Th: a-
On Monday evening about IL o'clock
the citizens of Winooski were startled by a
cry of fire, and discovered brilliant light
in the eastern part of the village near Mr..
Hoods house. Surmising as was the
case, that it was an old, unoccupied, dis
msntled double house near the railroad
crossing, which had been set on fire the
night before, and extinguished, and know
ing that there was no great supply OF
water in that vicinity, the citizens gave
no general alarm, but rallied to protect
adjoining property.
The steamer company, with commend
able promptness, was represented at an
early hour by two of its most indicate
gable members, and others put in an APP
pearance at later hour. In all there
were some seventy-fve spectators and the
affair passed off very quietly. There was
another old and unoccupied house, rod
~ - west of the burning building, which
At one time was in danger, and the Vol
nntaer Hooks" with their we'll known
enthusiasm went fer it, with rails and
sanca POSTS, and it was soon leveled in
the dust, The burned building was
valuable only for fuel and if it had to be
hnrn:cd more favorable night could not
have been chosen. -

MONTPELIER AND WELLS RIVER
RAILRoAD.-This road was put under
contract in October last, and the work Of
grading commenced November LIST. Con-
siderable work has been already done be-
tween Montpelier and Plainfield, and as
spring opens and frost gets out of the
ground the force on the road will be
largely increased and the work pushed
rapidly along. Mr.. N. @. Munson, the
contractor, who is of himself regarded as
perfectly responsible to perform all his
engagements, agreed, on taking the con-
tract, in order that the towns which fur
nish the means to build it might feel per-
fectly satisfied that the road would be
completed, to furnish security in the sum
of 100000 for its fulfllment, which, we
understand, he has done. The road is to
be finished Nov. /, 1872, and it is quite
probable that portion, if not all OF it,
will be ready for the cars long before that
time. AS connecting link between the
eastern and western sections of Vermont
it is quite important; moreover, it will
furnish short and pleasant and direct
route from Saratoga, Lake George and
Lake Champlain to the White Mountains.
1t passes through fertile country, dotted
here and there with thrifty villages, and
opens large lumber and granite region,
which has long been waiting the facilities
of railroad to develop a vast amount OF
wealth. The road, therefore, in local
point of view, as well as the important
connections it makes, will be valuable
one 1t will connect with the Vermont
Central at Montpelier, and with the Pas.
sumpsic and Boston, Concord and Mon.
treal roads at Wells River, the distance
between Montpelier and Wells River by
this road being only 50 miles, while al
present it is 103 miles by rail. The town
of Montpelier. we understand, is to fur
nish about $250,000 in town and indi
vidual subscriptions toward the com
pletion of the road.

PARIS, April 10.
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
Among the nominations confirmed yes
terday, was that of VIM. Fl. Henderson,
Collector of Internal Revenue for the First
district of New York.
Senator Morton was in conference
with Mr.. Sumner in the Senate for more
than an hour yesterday. The whole sub.
iect of Mr.. Summers difference with the
administration was talked over in an earn.
eat and excited manner, Mr.. Sumner de.
nying that he attacked the President, and
claiming that the country was with him.
Mr.. Morton replied he was mistaken IN
this-that his speech was without effect,
and that few or no journals in Indiana
supported Sumner.
Senator Sumner is understood to have
prepared a speech in regard to his rels-
tions with Secretary Fish and the State
Department, but though he had the man.
uscript with him at the Senate yesterday,
he has been persuaded by his friends not
to deliver it. The speech is said to give
complete history of the Senator'S connec-
ton with the Motley affair and inciden-
tally his differences with the President;
all founded Cd and sustained by docu-
ments and letters. 1t is said to be very
damaging to Mr.. Fish. ......-
The Tribune's special says: The
conviction is daily becoming stronger here
that a change is contemplated in the
Treasury department., though there is
much doubt if it is made Immediately, as
no successor to Boutwell, is known to have
been selected. The dispatch from Vienna
announcing that Mr.. Jay has been trans
ferred to Constantinople, is thought BY
some to reveal part of the programme OF
the administration in regard to this mat
ter, as it was reported quite recently IN
certain circles here that Mr.. Boutwell, was
to be made Minister to Austria when he
left the Treasury department.
The Tribune's special says: The re-
port that Senator Morton is to succeed
Mr.. Boutwell,, is, however, without the
slightest foundation, that gentleman mol
only having denied it yesterday, but hav'
ing recently informed friend that DC
will accept no appointment from the gov
eminent Eta
i A correspondent telsgrsphs that thu
President and Secretary of State, in view
of the probable result Of the negotiation
of the Joint High Commission, and tn
probable necessity for action by the Sen
ate, have been quietly sounding Senator
; through the members of the committee OF
foreign relations, to ascertain what TIM
would best suit them for an extra execu
tive session. Thus far majority OF Sens
tors have expressed themselves In favor 0,

PASTORAL CHANGEs.-A correspondent
of the Boston Christian Era says that
changes in the pastorates of Baptist
churches in that vicinity are alarmingly
frequent. Harvard church, Boston, was
organized in 1868, and has had seven
pastors. Shawmut avenue church was
founded in 1866, and has had five pastors.
DIR. Stowe resigned the charge at Baldwin
Place in 1S4S, and the church has had
five pastors since that time, and three pas
tors have succeeded DR.. Sharp, who died
in 1853. OF the IA Baptist churches in
Boston before the annexation of Roxbury,
ten have changed pastors within five
wears. and some more than once. These
frequent changes are highly injurious,
and gen orally indicate the presence OF
elements tending to discord and disorder.
This instability of pastoral relations is
not confined to this country. 1t is noticed
in England, and produces the same mis-
chief there as here.

Rutland, April 14th.s

CHEsTER-Our citizens are just now
considerably agitated over the matter OF
providing suitable fire apparatus, and
there is no doubt but what a liberal ap-
preparation will be voted at the next fire
meeting to furnish several-perhaps five
of the "self-acting fire extinguishers.
We trust something may be done which
will make amends for our reckless economy.
Over $40, 1000 worth of first-class property
has been destroyed in this town which
might have been saved had we possessed
even one or two of these "extinguisbers,"
there is no doubt of it.
There has been an unusual amount
of furniture moving through our streets
this spring, indicating many new rentals.
Auction sales of real estate and household
furniture have been brisk. A new family
coming in or an old one going out does
not portend the millennium at hand as
such an event once seemed to.
Prof Charles Ladd, the veteran, gave
his quarter ball at Ingraham Hall on
Thursday evening last. Sixty couples
paid their entrance fee and best respects
to Charles, and one of the merriest times
of the season was enjoyed. Charles is a
VIGOROUSLY good prompter, and his SER
vices as suoh have been in constant de-
maud during the winter.
