Letter from Ludlow.

Editor Rutland Herald - Ludlow is
left out in the cold again. Your CORE s.
pondents have failed, and suspicious are
abroad that they are qusrrelliug. But
there are literah enough here to write a
newspaper for you-ministers, lawyers,
school-teachers, and an unknown number
of aspiring "Candors," ''Videxs," Y. Y
Us, together with a whole galaxy of #'s.
Then, too, great many wonderful things
are "being did" here, and, as well in
formed man, somebody ought to tell you.
Why, we've had fires, shows. circuses, etc,
and You don't print word about it. Either
you will have to admit that you arn't
"posted," or else you will have to get
some one to write you the gossip with
which Mrs. Brown is astonishing Mrs.
Jones. Its a capital place for those two
old ladies here in Ludlow. You know
all that is going on in Middlebury, for if
a sparrow falls that "Candor" don't notice,
it instantly becomes game for the vigi-
liant and conscientious Hawk Eye"
while that fellow over in Ii, we've
forgotten his name, but will call him Star
"for short" makes an item every time a
boy gets his nose snubbed.
But that isn't what we are about to say.
When you do heGr anything from us, you
don't exactly hear it always as it lie. a
day or two ago some one sent you short
notice of the burning of the store-hosse
belonging to g. W. Harding & Co. That's
all right enough, 80 far; but it is followed
with the statement that but very little
property was destroyed. We learn from
reliable sources that $l2, 0O0 worth of ma
terisl was burned. That may seem small
to some, but to our inexperienced judg-
ment, it looks like quite large property
to go off in smoke
Many of those who have suffered from
our frequent fires of late have resumed
business in new places. Mr.. Hammond
has put up temporary building to ac-
commodste his large stock of goods.
Mrs. s. W. Stimson goes on with her
millinery ia. very pleasant rooms over
Pratt d Coolidge's drug store.
Our carpenters have all they can do
Many new residences are being put up.
and our usually quiet village seems
pretty lively. VINCENT.

FRUIT CANNING AT THE SoUTH -
There is promise of an abundant yield Of
fruit in all parts of the South during The
coming season. A little effort to secure
the preservation of the cropa would save
all that has been lost by the decline IL
the price of cotton. Millions of dollar
worth of peaches, delicious and excellent,
are permitted to rot under the trees. Can
ming this fruit should be commenced OF
an extensive scale. There is market
for all that can be put up. West Indies,
South America, Central America, Mckee
all ask for unlimited supplies of our can
ned fruits. Tht business is mex pensive,
easy and profitable. Nothing bat an IN
veterate fogishness will prevent people il
the South from utilizing their splendid
advantages, and of making Their. selves
comfortable if not Independently rich by
engaging in some of these new and profit
lble industries, for which their resources
have shown a remarkable capacity.

PAwLET.-A large pile of railroad wood
caught fire from sparks from locomotive
at West Pawlet on Friday last. Before il
could be extinguished, one hundred and
eighty cords were burned. A fire from q
similar cause occurred on Saturday, one
mile distant from the other, consuming
one hundred and twenty cords. The
citizens turned out and worked to their
utmost to save what they could some of
them were utterly exhausted. They merit
an acknowledgment from the owners Of
the wood. Extra vigilance appears re.
quisite in these dry times-especially from
those who have property on the line Of
railroads.

lowing suggestion of raising a monument
to one of Vermont's most eminent and USE
full citizens:
ut is suggested as a proper thing to be
done, that the Good Templars of the State
should raise funds and erect a monument
to the memory of the late Pliny II. White,
who, perhaps, did more than any one else.

several years was tina efficient and popular

at the time of his DEATH"
We fully endorse the suggestions and
assure the order Of Good Templavs that
there are hundreds outside,their order who
would gladly assist them. as

erts, an employee. in some way missed

striking upon his head. He died on
Wednesday from the effects of his fall.
Mr.. Roberts was q very kind, genial

The frequency Of these accidents at the

WALLINGFoRD.-J. A. Pooler, Eco,
for several years past the gentlemanly
and efficient station agent at Wallingford
has, en- account of very poor health, re.
signed his position. His resignation is to
be regretted, yet in view of the state of
his health it can only be said that it is as
might have been expected. He will, how
ever, be remembered as having at all
times shown himself a gentleman, oour-
teous and obliging, hence he drew around
him large number of friends, who will
be gratiied at Mr.. Pooler's restoration to
good health. CASUAL.

THE VERGENNES FIRE.
Loss $4,000 Dollars.

Through the courtesy of H. @. johnson,
editor of the Vergennes Ve7monter, slip
has been received, containing the particu-
lars of the destructive fire at Vergennes
on Thursday evening. We give the Yer
nsO7ater'S account in full:
About half-past four o'clock on Thurs
day evening. a fire broke out in the
wheelwright shop of Ostiguy s. Roy, at
the west end of the bridge in this city.
spanning Otter Greek above the falls. A
high south wind prevailing, added to the
combustible nature of the building, wrap
ped the whole in flames; blacksmith shop
in the rear. and the adjoining building
formerly VIM. Ross's machine shop, con-
tanning some $500 worth of machinery
were quickly on fire.
Aeross the street, which is here very
narrow,th the flames were swept by the wind
directly upon the large furniture manu-
factory Of Messrs. H olland, Maxfeld s.
Cleaves. and the furniture mandatory
of n. FL. Jaquay, formerly known as the
wooden mill, which was soon burned.
Despite all human effort, the splendid
mandatory of MessIs H NJ & c., which
was filled with valuable machinery, lum-
Der and furniture in various stages OF
completion, became the prey of the de-
vouring element. With this went "A new
brick dry house of H. III. & c., filled With
black walnut and other lumber, two
story dwelling belonging to Mr.. Holland,
and occupied by Mr.. Better, and lumber
shed.
The fl ,mes communicated TO the bridge,
and tw, piers were destroyed.
The platter house and shed adjoining
n. G. Norton's Touring mill, on the is
land. were burned and pulled down. The
Touring mill and r. M. CIapp's curtain
roll and fixture msnufactory had a mar
row escape.
The falling cinders ignited the roof OF
Mr.. Rodman Chapman's dwelling one
quarter of mile distant, on Comfort Hill;
his barn was also destroyed. Mrs. Chap
man, who was i'll, had to be removed from
the burning house on bed. The furEi-
ture was mostly saved. Fully iosured.
A house and barn belonging TO Mr..
Thos. Fish, the house occupied by Geo.
Kingman aad Samuel Rogers, were
burned. Partially insured.
The dwellings of Capt. M. d. Hall and
Mrs. Young Were on fire several times.
Sparks and cinders were carried over a
mile distant.
In the confusion we have not been able
to obtain fair estimate of individual loss
es. Holland, Maxfeld & Cleaves are the
heaviest losers.
The insurance on the entire loss can
not be more than one-third. 1t is terri
BILE blow to the business interests Of Yer.
gennes.
We must not omit to mention that the
Washington Engine Company. of Middle
bury, promptly came to our aid, by means
of an extra train. They were treated to
supper at Stevens hotel and thanked by
Mayor Grandey in a stirring speech.

TRICK OF AN INSANE MAN.-James
Conlin, former resident of this village,
but lately employed on the Ashuelot &
Keene Railroad, has been on visit to
friends in this vicinity for few days,
and on Thursday gave evidence of mental
alteration to which he was predisposcd.
Yesterday afternoon be wandered out
and took position on the railroad track,
about half way between this village and
Center Rutland, and as the 220 p. m.
mail train was proceeding rorth, he
waved red signal. The engineer prompt
ly whistled down brakes and reversing
the engine, brought the train to halt,
only to find that he had been deceived by
the cunning trick of the maniac. Mr..
Conlin was secured by officers, and being
in such state of violent arrangement.
that it required the aid of three or four
men to control him, he was confined for
security in the Jail. The unfortunate
sufferer will be taken to the Brattleboro
Asylum to-day.

brance on the part of Capt. Kingsley,

pany.

As she sheds the silent and bitter tear

How tender his last {" GoOd-By!"

she was willing, if need be, to die"

Let the Nation strengthen each 'bruised reed"
By adjoining these loved ones graves.

Full well did they act their part,

May the Nation count it the best of joys
