A NEW VALYE.-We have been lately
shown a new valve, known as the Crock
Ring Valve" invented by Mr.. Edward A
Rock, and manufactured by "The Rock
Valve Manufacturing Company of Lud.
low" which supplies want long felt and
bids fair to supersede all other valves in
use. Among its peculiar merits are that
the flow through them is entirely unob.
structed and of the full size of the pipe,
and thus much greater than that of any
other known valve; scales, sand or grit OF
any kind will not in the least iniure them;
the ring is SO arranged that the valve
will remain perfectly tight until it is lit
orally worn out; and as both apertures
are alike stopped when the valve is shut,
that it makes nc difference which way it
is connected with the pipes. mention
these. not because they are its only merits
but because, as we understand, these are
the points in which ordinary valves gen.
orally fail. They have been practically
tested, not only in this State, but in
others, and are highly recommended by
all who have used them, and in spite of
competition, they received the first pre-
MUM at the Vermont State Fair in 1870,
at the Fair of the American Institute in
New York City in November last, as we'll

GENEROUS KINDNEss.-An employe
of the Bates House, Mr.. William Weeks,
died of typhoid fever on Friday morning
about 8 o'clock. The boarders of the
Bates House, fearing he was in straight
ened circumstances, on hearing of his
death started a subscription, purchasing
casket and paying the bill of DR.. Allen,
his physician. Mr.. Bates made donation
of all his bills against him, and DIR. Allen
made kberal discount on his charges,
and the charges for transporting the re-
mains to New York for burial were also
paid. The bills and expenses amounted
to $75. His sister, an only relative, left
on the midnight train, with the remains,
for New York. This is generous kind
ness evinced toward stranger in a

spirit on the part Of these who have so
kindly and considerably contributed to
this offering to the stranger dead.

| A REsOLUTE WoMAN.-The Buffalo
Erpre8S of Dec. Both, gives an account Of
the dispersion of hlood-thirsty mob on
Christmas eve near Holland village. A
mob of eighteen or twenty Irish laborers
on tie railroad near by, having been
primed for mischief by drinking at other
places, invaded the premises of Mr.. Paul,
an inn-keeper, determined to crafty some
unsatisfed grudge against the proprietOrs.
Mr.. Paul was speedily driven from the
house, and two young sons who came for
ward to help their father were assaulted
in turn, and one of them, bloody and
bruised, appearing before his mother in
the rear of the premises, she made per-
sonal appeal to the mob to desist. In re-
turn they threatened her with violence
and the premises with destruction. She
made her escape by side door and sought
| help from near neighbors, whose fear of
the mob restrained them from going to
her aid. Whereupon, borrowing two re-
volvers and procuring ammunition, she
took the responsibility of action on her.
self. The mob being engaged in drink
ing, breaking furniture and pillaging, she
stationed herself and sons at the door and
fred shots into the room over the heads
cf the mob; but instead of being deferred
they made rush upon one of the sone,
who was rescued by shot from the hands
of his brother. The battle then began in
earnest. The mother loaded the pistols

One was found dead near the door, with
bottle of whisky under one arm and q

bravery of the woman were greatly COM
mended by the community, and her resort

thought wholly ipstifable.

ST.. ALBANs.-The ST. Adams Messen-
ger counsels the resistance of the towns in
Franklin county to the collection Of the
State tag, because of the claim of Unequal
ity in the equalization of the State Grand
List. The city of Burlington having
caved in on resistance, the several towns
in Franklin and Chittenden viii be nom
resaStantS.
The growth of the town of st. Adams
in 1870 has been greater than any former
year.
The renting of the pews in the Congre-
gational church at st. Adams, realized in
premiums above the assessment of $4,000
was 1851. Last year the amount of pre-
miums received was only $408.
The Messenger says: "St. Albans is a
monument of what enterprise can do"
This is truthful saying, and if several
other towns in Vermont had one half the
enterprise of the people of st. Adams
they would be thrice what they are to-
day. Enterprise seems to characterize
one and all at st. Adams. IF another
railroad is wanted, they unitedly put
their shoulders to the wheel and it is
completed in a twelve month. If a manu-
featuring establishment is projected, the
capitalists of the town furnish the money
at sight and up goes the building, and
the whirl of the machinery is heard in
thirty days. A new hotel is needed,
seventy.fve thousand dollars is at once
pledged, and one of the most convenient
and elegant hotels in the country is
thrown open to the public. This is the
kind of town to have and the spirit to
be manifested by people who mean
business in this fast age.
The population of st. Adams has
doubled in the last decade; and will pro-
baby again double in the next ten years.
One hundred and five new bulldogs
were erected in st. Adams in 1870, and
fifty-three buildings have been repaired
during the year. Many new foundations
and other preparations are on foot for
building during the present year.
Last, but not least in the progress of
st. Adams, is that it now has one of the
best and liveliest newspapers in New
England to chronicle its improvements.
Our best compliments to our co-laborers,
Clark and Taylor, that they dwell and
labor among the evidences of so much
thrift and progress.
