THE RUTLAND CLOTHING BURGLARS.
No evidence being found against the
va grants arrested at Rutland on charge
Of having stolen the clothing from Kings
ley's store, they were discharged on
Tuesday. AT 10 o'clock at night Of the
same day they we're discharged, officer
Crawford was standing in the depot when
these same parties passed him with bun
dies and dressed in new clothes, and
though much disguised, Crawford at once
recognized them as his old prisoners, and
Immediately ordered them to halt, upon
which they instantly dropped their bun
dies and ran. Crawford gave chase but
did not succeed in catching them, help
not being at hand in season at that hour
of the night. An examination of the
bundles revealed the goods stolen at
Kingsley's, allof which have been reeov-
cred except what they had on their backs
and which they had successfully conceal
ed during their arrest.

VAGRANTs.-Our village is overrun
with Migrants an6 beggars. They have
actively piled their vocation here for
two weeks. Stout and able bodied men
and women have been to the doors of our
citizens begging and spying. They offer
to pay sometimes. One set have the
frames of two or three horses with them
which look as if they we're being learned
to live without eating. A few nights
since the doors of the stores of 0. T
Woods and Miss r. G. Dinsmore were
tried, and Mr.. Moore who resides in the
upper part Of the building hearing their
noise, rose in season to see one or two
persons hastily leaving. We can't say
that all the above things have any con-
nection with each other, but some of our
people are emphatic in their opinions
about them.

BELLOWS FALLS IN 1S00.-Of the
original eleven houses composing this vii
lage in 1900, but one remains-that of
Edmund Blake on Rockingham street,
opposite Wightman's Hall building,
which was used as tavern. Of the 9TH
er houses there was one where the Island
House now stands, one at the toll bridge,
one on the old American house site next
south of the post-ofiice, one on the place
now occupied by Arms d Wilson's
weighing scales, one where now is Col.
Wentworth's block, occupied by Arms
& Wilson's store, TIMES office, &c, and
school house on that part of the site of
J. d, Bridgman's livery building now
occupied by Lovells meat market. The
old house taken down there when Mr..
Bridgemen erected his livery building a
few years since, was the one which stood
ON the ground now occupied by Arms
d Wilson's weighing scales. Illness
changes have removed all of these old
land marks.

JAMAIcA--A little girl of G. D. Reed
narrowly escaped serious injury by fall
ing from one of the village bridges into
the stream below, distance of fourteen
feet The ucky little one came out Of
the brook and reached her home un-
aided. suffering the only inconvenience
of being thoroughly drenched.
& Sunday morning last the peo-
pie of Jamaica were startled by the
announcement of the sudden death OF
Mr.. Charles Barnes.
He and two of his neighbors had driv-
en- their cows to pasture, and we're stand
ing together near the gateway engaged
in conversation, when he suddenly fell
to the ground and expired without a
struggle, gasping but once or twice after
the fall. The deceased was an honest
mechanic of over 70 years OF age. He
was living with his second wife and had
reared a large family, five sons and three
daughters who are still living. The
youngest daughter was at home anc
sick at the time. The shock of this sud
den bereavement nearly overcame he'
nervous strength. The afflicted family
have the sympathy of the community in
this unexpected and overwhelming ca
lamity.

PuTNEY.-The Putney cheese factory
will commence operations for the season
next Monday.
The committee for the erection of
new Town Hall, have taken the site Of
the old brick building, formerly used as
hotel. The town hall building is to be
set farther back, thus giving good front
grounds, and when completed will no
doubt be credit to the town.
The Rev. Amos Foster of Putney is
probably the oldest Congregational min
lister in Windham county, if not in the
State, in active service. He reached the
age of "A in the month of March, after
a ministry of 40 years, about q of which
have been in Vermont. He is now con.
templating retiring from active duties OF
the ministry, to the great regret of bis
large circle of friends and acquain,an

DIFFERENT RATES OF PosTAGE.-We
have seen some people, even postmasters,
smile at the idea that any one should
ever get the "notion" that different rates
of postage are charged at different post
Offices on thesame thing, when the truth is
all post offices are subject to precisely
the same postal regulations as to rates
throughout the United States. There is
as much variation in rates of postage
charged on miscellaneous matter, at
different offices, including some city
offices, as you would expect to find in
rpices for groceries at as many differ
ent stores. Some offices send out May
flowers at seed rates, while Others charge
letter rates. A New England city office
recently mailed package ofdry goods
charging no established rates found for
anything the regulations allow in the
mails, either as seeds, samples or letters.
Another city Office in New York State
some time since mailed large cedar shin
giles as samples" for a few cents postage,
and recently we saw a fine cake OF
maple sugar travelling in the mails at
thirty cents, when some other offices
would have charged two dollars. Don't
blame the people therefore for supposing
that some post Offices are cheaper than
Others"
