ACCIDENT AT THE Bow.-Mrs. Leav-
lit Hunt of New York, who arrived at
her summer residence at Weathersield
Bow, the other day, with five children,
three servants and % trunks, expert
enced sad mishap with the baggage.
The trunks were taken from the railroad
station in hay cart with two horses,
being fastened on with chain, passing
over the whole but when driving onto
the ferry boat, the chain broke, letting
some of the trunks down upon the driver,
who leaped on to one Of the frightened
horses, which, in turning jumped into
the river, taking trunks and all. Horses,
driver and cart sank and rose three
times, but were finally rescued after a
hard struggle. The river, with its float
ing trunks, resembled Boston harbor in
olden times with its chests of tea, and
several of the trunks went down the
stream as far as Hubbard's islands.
The contents of the Saratogas were COM
pletely ruined, and the loss, although
not definitely estimated. must have been
quite heavy.

Bank Robbery at Battleboro,
$4,000 OR $4,000 STOLEN.

A most bold and adroit bank robbery
occurred at Battleboro on Wednesday.
Mr.. Willist0n, the president, and the
teller, William S. Guild, were absent at
dinner, leaving N. c. Sawyer, assistant
cashier, alone. A gentleman stepped in
and bought draft, and then asked him
what he paid for gold, and he told him.
The stranger then took from his pocket
a bag which he said contained S140 in
gold
Mr. Sawyer counted it and reported
the amount more, some 1928, which was
mixture of all sorts Of gold and silver
pieces. Stranger said it was not correct
and asked Sawyer to count it again
which he did and made it as before.
Stranger then said there must be some
mistake about it aud he would take it
back where he got it, and Immediately
left the bank Mr.. Williston came in a
moment after, and Guild, who immediate
ly missed package of old bills that had
been put up for redemption, and the loss
was Immediately discovered
The supposition is that while Mr.. Saw
yer's attention was absorbed in counting
the money, an accomplice came in and
went behind the counter and stepped in
to the vault, and took the missing money
some fifteen or twenty thousand dollars
part of it in bonds, and part in new bill;
| that had not been issued or in circulation
and then fled through a back window
that was open, where the marks of 6
boot heel are visible. Areward of 5000
is offered for the robbers. Col. Waite
the cashier, was absent from home. Thu
man who offered the gold was of small
stature and black side whiskers.

ed Oh the 26th ult. There was but little
more evidence put in the case and after
the argument of counsel Justice Horton
said that in his opinion the evidence
did not criminate Mr.. Potter, and he
was discharged. This case, the reader
will remember, grew out OF right for

Leonard ellison of this place. The note
was for $3.50. After passing through
several hands it came into Mr.. Potter's
possession and he presented it to Mr..

it forgery, and said he signed note
for the like sum, but there were condi-
tions about payment of the same, which
were not in the one presented by Mr..

Mr.. PEABoDY's CoNoERT.-To say
that the audience were delighted with the
musical treat on Thursday evening of
last week, would but half express the
universal feeling of admiration which
prevailed. 1t was all good and more.
The enthusiasm reached the highest pitch
when Mrs Smith sang Serenade.
She was greeted with SO strong recep-
ton as to respond with a sweet ballad
descriptive Of when we went Haying."
The many admirers of Mrs. S. felt that
she sang her sweetest. As a singer she
is what Mrs. Scott-Siddons is as a reader
Miss Ella |. Merrill of Keene, sang with,
ease and was received by her old friends
with hearty applause. Miss NJ. is so re-
Gently of this place that her friends here
feel joint proprietorship in her laurels
and a pardonable pride in her success.
She sings in a pure contralto voice bal
la ds which captivate the ear, her intona-
ton being very perfect, and it may not
be out of place to congratulate her upon
her debut and cordial reception in her
old home. Mrs. Emily Stone Water
house, has a voice powerful and sweet,
showing the highest cultivation. She
has just returned from Europe where she
has been studying music. Her charm
ing manner, rare voice and winning APP
pearance, delighted her old friends and
gave her many new ones. Misses Walk
err and Stevens acquitted themselves fine
ly upon the piano. Mr.. Barber has an
excellent voice and sang well. Mr.. Pea
body played well, the ladies were taste
fully dressed, and everybody went away
delighted. In fact the concert was a
success unsteady and financially. The
audience which was large and apprecia-
tive, included representatives from Sax
tons River, Westminster, Walpole, Ches-
ter, Grafton and other places. Mr.. Pea
body is very thankful as will be seen by
his card elsewhere, for a liberal patron
age and kind reception. and we believe
our community will heartily join us in
thanks to him for so rare an entertain
ment.
