- The Burlington Free Press says
that just after the night express left
Winooski Saturday evening for that city,
the engineer brought his machine to a
stand-still, from the appearance just
ahead of him, on the track, of an indi-
vidual frantically swinging a lantern.
The train, through the speedy and eff
cient efforts of the brakemen, was at
once checked in its progress, and Con
ductor Shedd sought to find out the trou-
bic. After considerable parley with the
lantern swinger, it was discovered that
he was intoxicated, and in going home
had supposed that twenty or thirty loco
motives were making personal RAID up
on his person.
The editor Of the Free Press says
aft the person who stole the editors
grapes, Saturday night. and left his
handkerchief near the vines-name in
full on the corner-wiIl call at this Of
fee, he can have his property and some
more grapes, if it appears that he needs
them more than the owner.
While Denslow Barber of Rich
mond, was walking ON the railroad track
last Saturday night, he fell through the
culvert on the Rhodes farm, distance
of fifteen feet, injuring him considerably
He was discovered by Mr.. Freeman and
assistance soon rendered him.
A venerable Vermont lady, on re-
turning from visit to her son in Boston
said she was lucky to get there on some
great day, for the roads were full of folks
and she saw more teams pass in one houl
than she saw at home in whole week

REMARKABLE CAsE.-Michael Dona-
hue was indicted at the recent term Of
the Rutland County court for stealing a
horse, the property of J. @. Stewart of
Clarendon, in the spring of 1871. The
testimony as adduced on the trial pre-
sents remarkable case. There is no
dispute as to the fact of the horse hav-
ing been stolen or of the time when it
was taken, but a number of witnesses
identify the respondent as the man in
whose possession the horse was seen, at
Rockingham, the day after it was taken
while an equal number are equally pos
tive that the respondent was in Claren-
don the same dav. These two places are
some fifty miles apart, and the witnesses
on either side are men of responsibility
and integrity and equally positive, each
giving specific reasons for his certainty
as to the date and the manner in which
he identifies the man. 1t is remarka-
BILE case of mistaken identity or of error
as to time. The jury under the charge
of Judge Wheeler, and without argument
by counsel, returned verdict of not
guilty.

WESTMINSTER Town FAIR-The ar

Fair are ample for an interesting occa-

doubt prove success. The towns in

daily invited not only to be present but
also to be exhibitors. These gatherings
are always productive of much pleasing
social intercourse, and this will doubt
less be the last opportunity of the kind
in this section this year.

SHOOTING Fun" IN DU1IMERsToN.-
Young people are getting tired of shoot
ing each other or themselves by "acci-
dent" and plan which makes more
sure the" fun" has been adopted, in which
two promising young men in Dummers-
ton led off on the 21st ult. The amuse-
ment proved to be thorough, and is thus
recorded by the Brattleboro Phenix: =
1t appears that F. Ferris, young man
employed by d. G. Roberts, was at work
cutting up corn in company with young
lad by the name of Puffer of Putney.-
Young Pufier was the owner of pistol,
with which he was delighted to exercise
his skill. Mr.. Ferris told him that he
would risk him to shoot him Ferris at
the distance of ten rods. They accord
ingly took their re pective stations, and
young Puffer fred. Ferris heard the
ball whistle by his head, but remaining
unhurt and undaunted, challenged him
to shoot again at the same distance,
which was accepted. Ferris remained
untouched. This was in the forenoon.
In the afternoon Ferris told Puffer he
would risk shot at five rods. Accord
ingly FIVE rods were paced off, they took
their stations and Puffer fred. The ball
took effect this time in Ferriss left wrist,
and passing up the arm, lodged above
The elbow in the feshy part of the arm.
His arm when the ball struck it, lay at
right angles across his abdomen, thereby
saving his life in all prob ability. The
ball was extracted by DIR. Webster, and
he will be well enough for another shot
soon.

A DoeaIE IN CHuRcH.--In one of the

A DoGd1E IN CHURcH.--In one of the
upper counties of Virginia is a church
whose worthy minister is the Rev. Mr..
This gentleman dslkes very much that
his earnest dscourses should be inter-
rupted. He has a special aversion to dogs
coming into his church, and the appear
ance of one of these animals always gives
the excellent pastor the fdgets until the
intruder is driven out
On one occasion Mr.. - was deliver
ing very solemn discourse to bis people,
when little terrier belonging to the Hon.
Mr.. x, one of the most prominent men,
bers Of his congregation, came into the
church and went smelling round every
where.
The good preacher was evidently very
much disconnected, and began to balk in
his discourse. Suddenly, however, the
dog came to a hole in the wall of the
church, in which the scent of rat was
quite fresh, and began to paw and scratch
at 1t, and to squeal and yell at the top of
his voice. This was too much for the
good minister, and 1t knocked all Of the
ideas out of his head. He paused in his
preaching, and said in an imploring tone
"Will some one have the kindness to use
his influence with that little crop-eared,
bob-tailed cur, land get him out of church ?"
Mr.. x. immediately went up, and tried to
call his dog away from the rat hole; but
so eager was the terrier, that this was no
easy matter. The preacher waited for
some moments longer, when he cried out
with some impatience "Will some one
be so kind as to get both the dog and his
master out of the church 2"
This was too much for Mr.. X, who has
keen sense of the ludcrous. He could
restrain himself no longer, but burst out
laughing, in which most of the congrega-
ton joined. He, however, now caught
doggie by the nape of his neck, and lifted
him out of the church, after which, order
was restored, and the pastor proceeded
with his sermon.
