AN AUTOMATIC PASSION PLAY-Two
Germans at Port Schuyler, n. Y, are en-
gagged on an automatic wonder which
will eclipse anything ever yet produced
in that line. They have been at work
upon it now nearly an entire year, and
they expect to have it done in about six
months. 1t will occupy a stage nearly
twenty. five feet square, and some idea of
its immensely and intricacy may be con-
ceived, when we say that there viii be
nearly five thousand figures, most of them
movable, connected with the machine.
We ourselves should say that the concep-
tIon Is too vast to be successfully carried
out, but the two builders say that they
have the plans fully formed, and that
there is no doubt whatever of the perfect
working of the machine. All the princi-
pal scenes of the old and new testament
will be represented in it-such az Noah
and the ark, the building of the tower Of
Babel, Abraham Offering sacrifice, Moses
bringing Israel out of Egypt, Israel pass
ing through the Red sea, the drowning of
Pharaoh, Samson's death, Elijah fed by
ravens, the birth of Christ, raising the
dead to life, Jesus walking on the sea,
washing the disciples feet, the crucifxion,
resurrection, and many others. In respect
to the Bible, it will be almost reproduc-
ton of the scenes there described, and as
an adjunct of Sunday school work al
most invaluable. All the great battles,
naval engagements, sieges and assaults of
profane history are TO be represented, and
many other curious scenes depicted
Ir0y Times.

DANBY.-The social dance at Bonds on
Wednesday evening, August 10th, was q
complete success, as occasions of that kind
usually are here. The spacious hall was
filled to its utmost capacity, and this large
and delighted company seemed to be fen
tirely free from care, as they continued to
"trip the light fantastic toe" until morn
ing light, after the excellent music OF
Wells Quadrille Band. 1t was withal
one of the most pleasant occasions ever
enjoyed here, Notwithstanding the warm
weather. An excellent supper was fur
nished, one which reflects great credit
upon the worthy proprietor of the house.
We have seldom seen better table set
than this, but this is one of Bonds char
acteristic traits, and which so eminently
fits him for hotelkeeper. The occasion
was free from any disturbances, by drunk
enness or rowdyism SO often seen in such
places, and everything parsed off quietly
and with satisfaction to all present. This
is the result of keeping a temperance
house, and demonstrates the question be-
yond a doubt, that a hotel can be run
upon the temperance plan. jew.

of interest and profit to all. To secure
this desirable result, all must lend an
helping hand and especially the farmers
We want to see the nice cattle, sheep
horses, etc., that abound in our county
Mechanics can show their Vres too
while the handy-work of tie ladies Of
Addison county are not surpassed by any
in New England, we hope to see in rich
profusion.
Butter sold last Friday in our village
for % cents per lb. Cheese III cents
Potatoes As cents per bushel. No market
for cattle, as the drovers say they can not
buy low enough to compete with cattle
taken to Brighton from the West. Sheep
are looking up in price, as several buyers
are in the market buying up all found for
sale. Hogs no sale, as farmers hold them
at price far above what the markets
abroad will warrant. Here again compe-
tition from the West affects this commod-
| ity in our county. The sale of horses is
exceedingly restricted as there is no for
eign demand. The rage is to raise fast
trotting horses, while draught or work
horses seem to be neglected. This is to
be regretted. Both are necessary, but if
either is to be neglected, let it not be that
style or class of horses that are demanded
to do the labor of the country. We can
get along if we do not have horses that
can make their mile in 225, but we cannot
spare good work horses for the farm and
teaming. These are absolutely necessary
and the farmer who confines himself to
rearing this last class, will in the long
run come of the best and make the most
money.
The ceremony of confirmation in the
Catholic Church was performed by the
Rev. L. GOesbriand, Bishop in the Cath
Ollie Church in our village the Goth inst.
About so children and adults were con-
frmed. The teachings of the Rev. Bishop
to the children were very simple and in
structire. A large congregation was
present and evidently much interested
in the exercises. CANDOR.

AN ELEaANr MoNuMENr-A monu. |

AN ELEGANT MONUMENTAL monu.
ment of unique design and superior finish
has just been completed at the works of
Mr.. W. N. Oliver, in fnlfllment of an
order from Mrs. NJ. A. johnson of Bing-
hampton, N. Y, to which place it will be
shipped in few days. The monument
is of the renaissance style, and an entirely
original design. 1t consists of cap with
a gable at each of its four faces, which is
supported on four cluster columns, which
surround the die, and which are finished
with deliberately carved pediments and
entablatures. An urn of graceful design
surmounts the front gable, supported by
bracket which rests on a corbeL The
bracket contains a panel on which The
family monogram is engraved. The die
is three and one.half feet square, about
FIVE feet high and weighs four tons. The
Flinth is over four feet square and about
two feet in thickness. 1t bears on the
front the family name in raised letters.
The massive base weighs five tons. The
hight of the monument is fourteen feet,
and the total weight about sixteen tons.
The material of the main portion of the
monument ia the West Rutland monu-
mental marble, slightly clouded, which
being of closer grain is considered superb
or to the pure white or statuary marble,
as being less liable to discoloration from
exposure. The futed columns are of the
dark, beautifully notified North Rutland
marble, and the effect of the contrast of
this variety with the lighter is one of the
most striking and unique features of this
beautiful design, The cost of the monu-
ment is about $4,000. 1t forms an artistic
production of which the manufacturer
may justly feel proud. Certainly this
specimen of skill fully warrants the high
reputation bis establishment enjoys, as we
DO not remember ever to have seen
structure that in all particu-
airs so fully met the requirements of the
most exacting taste.

Habeas Corpus Case.

On the 7th day OF August, Hamlln I
Knowlton, while intoxicated, was arrest
ed for another offence, and admitting tn
charge alleged against him, pleaded in ex
tenuation thereof that he was in such
state of intoxicatien that he did not knoy
what he was doing. Knowlton was thel
committed to Jail under The provisions
section SO of Chapter 81 of the Genera
Statutes, which provides that "wheneve
any person within this State shall b
found in such state of intoxication a
to disturb the public or domestic tran
guilty" any proper officer may, withou
warrant, apprehend such intoxicated per
son and detain him in custody, "until il
the opinion of such officer, the person s.
detained shall be capable of testifyini
properly in a court of justice, and a
soon as may be thereafter bring him be
fore some justice of the county" Tn
next day Kuowlton was brought befor
Benjamin W. Marshall, Esq, a justice o
the peace of the County of Rutland, ant
in accordance with the provisions of the
same section, examined "on oath" and re
quired to disclose the place where anC
the person of whom the liqour so produc
ing intoxication, was obtained, and all
the circumstances attending it." Upon
this examination he "disclosed," in sub
stance, that he obtained the liquor OF
some person to him unknown, also stating
among other things that the liquor so OBJ
tanned was all that he had drank
The Justice decided that the disclosure
was unsatisfactory, and ordered him re-
committed to Jail, under the provision OF
tho same statute, that upon "the refusal
or neglect of such person to so disclose,
Chat ia, the place whore, etc. he may, by
such justice, be committed to the common
Jail of the county, at the expense of the

ju-tice be discharged.'
On the 10th, Kuowlton, at his own re.
quest, was again brought before the same
Justice, and further disclosed that he OF
tanned liquor of another person, naming

WALLINGFORD.-Our people are look
ing forward with great interest to the
opening of the graded school here. This
long needed institution of this place will
start its first term Sept. 4th. Those hav-
ing the matter in charge have spared no
pains or expense to make everything
ready to open irst.class school. The
building is every way ample and COM
modious, and is most beautifully located
in quiet and commanding part of the
village, surrounded by large and wide
spreading shade trees. The upper story
is being supplied with the Roberts
school desks and seats. These elegant
and comfortable seats give each student
an entire seat and desk to himself.
The fall term commences the first Mon
day in September, under the supervision
of Prof. Otis S. johnson, from North
Charleston, New Hampshire, gentleman
who comes among US bearing the highest
testimonials of his former success as prin-
cipal of an academy, and who is devoting
his life to this work, and will use his best
endeavors to start here school that shall
be an honor to himself and the place. He
is assisted by Miss Laura Marsh in charge
of the intermediate department, and Miss
Rhoda Congdon, in charge of the primary
department., two worthy young ladies,
whose success here is a sufficient guaran-
the of their proficiency. And we can
cordially extend to the people of our
county, and elsewhere, an invitation to
attend our graded school, starting with
it, and with it rising to eminence and
distinction, assuring them they can find
no lovlier spot to pursue their studies,
than our quiet and beautiful village.

The duties of teachers were also treated

license on drinking were given. The
