ity of the Staye, charged with selling in
toxicating liquor to Mr., Orson Thomas OF
Sudbury. A jury was called and YER
dict of guilty was rendered on twenty
nine offences. This being the second time
he has been charged with selling liquor,
the fine was $40 for each offence, making
a total of $3.50 fine and costs. He also
paid the wife of Mr.. Thomas SIS for pri-
vate damages, under the statute, making
the seller of spirituous liquors RESPONSE
BILE for damagessustained, etc. Mr.. Sum-
ner appealed to the County Court. Ii
the Judgment Of the justice is affirmed in
the County Court, the complainant will
get large sum for complaining, as under
the State he will be entitled to one-fourth
of $3.50, or $145.
AT half-past three o'clock p. m, on
the 9th, the cry of fire was heard along
our streets, and as usual, everybody was
anxious to know where the fire was. 1t
was found to proceed from the dry house
of Messrs. Downer, Bolton & Allen, in
the hollow below the paper mills. The
alarm spread rapidly and our excellent
fire company with their excellent fire en-
CINE was soon on the ground and hard at
work. To all human appearance the
building was doomed to burn with the
contents, consisting of valuable pine lum-
Der and finished doors in process of dry
ing, but after three minutes labor with
two streams of water, it was evident that
while much of the property would be
badly damaged much would be saved.
After three-quarters of an hour the fire
was conquered aid much rejoicing from
all present. Messrs. Downer, Bolton &
Allen are very worthy men, and they
must have sustained quite loss. The
fire company and citizens worked with a
will and success crowned their efforts. I
suppose the Rutland people are proud of
their fire companies This is right. We
are also proud of ours, for they are noble
men [ assure you. I speak of that I
know in this respect
For some days past, rumor, with her
thousand tongues, would have it that a
wedding was to come off on the Goth inst,
at the Episcopal church in our village,
and as is natural in the matter, the young
ladies were determined TO be present to see
the knot tied. The day was beautiful,
air cool and braoing, sky clear, and 2
o'clock p. m. found large crowd assem-
bled in the church, waiting the arrival of
the bride and bridegroom, in the person of
Mr. b. S. Langdon, of New Haven, and
Miss Julia Foster of the same town. A
little delay and the organ struck up a
tune adapted to the occasion, while the
bride aud bridegroom, accompanied by
the usual retinue of friends, arrived, and
a. once proceeded to the business on
hand, in front of the altar, on which was
q large profusion of flowers. Rev. Mr..
McIlwain performed the interesting GER
ermony in good style, using the ritual
service, which ia highly impressive, and
the knot was tied. The pair looked as
if they were highly pleased with the new
relations they sustained toward each 9TH
er, and being escorted out of the church,
to their carriage, proceeded to the depot,
and were soon en- route on bridal trip for
Western New York. Your oorrespon-
dent hopes that their sky of welded life
may be as clear of clouds of sorrow and
disappointment, to good old age, as the
natural heavens were on their bridal day
free from clouds to hide the sun from
shedding his beautiful rays upon the
spring flowers just bursting into bloom
and beauty. The parties are not only
highly respected but much beloved by a
large circle of friends in their own and
adjoining towns.
The exhibition of the Junior Glass of
Middleb bury College came off the evening

praise of the audience The music was

cate, the entertainment was of a highly

scholarship.
