"A very sad thing occurred here this

when suddenly tie child moved ia such

Monday juno 10 as II. G. Brimmer
was engaged in building board fence
on his farm he met with quite a severe
accident. lie was holding post for one
Of his workrnen TO drive when the post
driver flew from the handle, and struck
him on the top of the head, cutting a
cash nearly two inches in length The
driver weighed Y l-2 lbs, and it would
undoubtedly have killed him on the spot
had it not struck thepost before it hit his
head
Two boys inspired with the love of
their country and wishing to have every
thing in readiness to celebrate the Fourth
of July tried the experiment of firing of
piece of musket barrel and were blown
up in the attempt. Neither of the boys
were seriously injured by the accident;
but one Of them, Cornelius Reardon, got
his face badly peppered with powder.
WEST LEBANON.
The strawberry festival of last week
at +. G.. Finch's passed of pleasantly.
The efforts of the committee to make it
success were well rewarded. The attcn-
dance was large, and all partook freely Of
the delicious berries, ice cream, lemon
AIDE, etc, and as freely lightened the bur-
den Of their purses. By means Of the cap
ital auctioneer &c. lI.B.,' the beautiful
bouquets adorning the tables sold readily
and at a good price.
CHATHAM.
The first rye was cut in this part ofthe
town on Friday the last day of June.
But little will be done however until after
the 18th, when fthe weather is fair harvest
ing will be commenced in earnest. The
crop has been injured some by the wee
vii, but not as much as was at one time
feared. Late sowing and such portions
as arc partially winter killed will suffer
the most.
The railroad festival at the station
house passed off pleasantly, with good
attendance, good behavior and satislac-
tory receipts. Also the festival held by
the Good Templers in Wilbor's Grove
proved a success. Several addresses
were made by prominent temperance
men from abroad, and great good cheer
evidently prevailed.
The new arrangement fora Saturday
evening train is very acceptable to this
community, but would be more so to the
travelling public if it could be run
through to Rutland
