A DRUNKEN ASSAULT drunk en-
roughs named Thomas E. Mason and
james II. Moves, last Thursday night,
about 10 o'clock, sought to gain admis-
sion to the dwelling house of the widow
Thomas in Cavendish, about one mile
south of Felchville. She was alone and
refused them admission. A general as
sault upon the house followed, resulting
in the destruction of two windows and
other injuries The widow escaped by a
rear door and sought safety at neigh
oor's, and In making her escape fell and
injured her person. The neighbors raj
lied and the rogues fed. In the morn
ing Deputy Sheriff L. Kendall went in
pursuit of them-one procured bail and
Mason was lodged in Woodstock jail for
safe keeping. The whole community is
Justly indignant at this outrage upon
respectable woman, and we trust justice
will be melted out to the rascals.

The Burlington Free Press copies our
item OF the csc ape of child at Brattle-
boro on the railroad track. and without
reserve endor es our abstruse calcula-
ton, that it was foot for every yearof the
child's age, &C., and adds that it was
also six inches for every toe on the child's
feet" which extraordinary fact had not
before been announced. In addition to
the correct census Of the child's toes, the
Free Press also inquiries
we wish to ask the TINES if it really supposes
if the child had happenedto be only four old.
Certainly, certainly, and as the Free
Press is evidently in search of informa-
ton we would say that that engine
has patent Turkish ageometer filled
with the quicksilver of fatality, but
science has not yet come to a state of
perfection sufficient to make it stop at
anything less than year or pay any re-
gard to the toes.

FATAL ACCIDENTAL about nine
o'clock Saturday morning James Powers,
an employee of Messrs. Sheldon q Slason,
was instantly killed by falling into the
pit of the north quarry, belonging to
that company, distance of some one
hundred and fifty feet. 1t seems tina. he
was endeavoring 20 attach chain to a
block Of marble lying on the very edge
of the quarry, and in reaching out, in or
der to attach a hook which he had in
his hand to another chain, he lost his
balance, and in falling, was precipitated
into the quarry, first striking shelf"
of marble some fifty feet from the sur
face, and from thence to the bottom of
the quarry about one hundred feet below.
Mr.. Powers was about twenty-five years
of age, and leaves a young wife to whom
he had been married about two years.

DEATH OF DR.. II. II. REYNOLDS
We learn with sorrow of the death of
DIR. III. Ii. Reynolds of Alburgh Springs,
which took place last week. He had
long been prominent citizen of Grand
Isle County, and had filled various Of
fees in the gift of the people. He had
been Representative, County Senator,
Judge Of the County court, Presidential
elector, and Delegate to the Republi-
can National Convention at Philadel-
phia, in 1856, which put in nomination
Fremont and Dayton. He was also a
member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton of 1870, and active in the work of
that body, and we remember how on the
day of adjournment, he shook hands
with the members bidding them a fare
we'll, and taking the hand of younger
member, he said with much emotion q
have been here many times you will
probably come here many times herea:-
ter, but shall never come here again. :"
We think he was memb Der of the Con-
stitutional Convention of 1886. He was
man of extensive reading and much
influence in his section o. the State
where his loss will be much felt and sim
cerely mourned. He must have been a
little above seventy years of age.

RIP VAN WINKLE, JR.-We print on
second page a letter from the Boston
Herald, by "Harry's Boy" which con-
tains several excellent hits and good to
read this hot weather, while some others
are imaginary, or perhaps we should say
Pick wickian. The idea, however, of
speaking of our people and the raging
canawl" as they existed thirty years ago,
in the present tense, and of dating his
letter here in the year of grace, July Is,
1871, makes us, fear that his communi-
cation was written like much of the for
eign correspondence of the New York
World or Herald, in their own offices at
home, and that Harry's Boy has become
Rip Van Wrinkle, Jr. and now that be
has just walked up supposes We are all as
he left us thirtyyears ago. AT first some
of our people were indignant, aud were
bound to connect him with an ancient
transaction said to have occurred here
~ tue losS Vi d hlNe Vi lIesH HOney5 uut
ON farther examination it was rather
settled that he was not in that notorious
siege, but probably in something else
much worse % and it was therefore de-
cided to forgive his present innocence,
in consideration of the hearty smile our
whole town will enjoy at his apt alusion
to the piscatory predictions of our form
er bank cashier, steam navigation, &c,
and invite him to appear here IN propria
persona, where he can see for himself the
great watering trough Of New England,
from which iron horses (and not spav-
ined ones, either daily draw their al
lowance.

The CHARLEsTowN TRAoEDy.-We
are informed that the prevailing opinion
at Charlestown is that the engineer OF
the train which ran into DR.. Howe's car
riage, gave all the signals and exercised
all the care that could have been ex.
pected, previous to the accident, and that
therefore no blame attaches to the train
men. Miss Wolcott is still at Mr.. Tidd's
or was the first of the week, and getting
along with her injuries as fast as could
be expected, She remembers, as we are
Informed, to have spoken of the crossing
just before they reached it, and that DIR,
Howe replied that the train had passed
some time previous, which but for the
fact that the train was late would have
been true, and the next instant they
were on the fatal crossing, when seeing
he train she exclaimed "Oh p and re-
members no more till she found her
self at Mr.. Tidd's. Dr. Howe is highly
spoken of by the Boston papers, his
home being in Roxbury. When his
watch was taken from his body it was
still running, having received no injury,
Two little grand children of DR.. and Mrs.
Howe, stopping with them at Charles
town, were trying to comprehend what
had happened, when the youngest, some
two years, exclaimed, that grandpa and
grandma had gone TO heaven without
any dinner"

Mrs. S. F. Collier, of Craftsbury,
has a rose bush of the common cinna-
mon variety, now in full bloom, which
measures twelve feet six and one-half
inches, the growth of four years.
The hay crop in Chittenden county
is turning out better than was expected.
Some farmers have cut more hay than
last season, and it is generally of better
quality, sweeter and more nutritious, as
is customary in dry seasons. Farmers
in some towns who were selling at sl4 a
ton when haying first commenced, have
been selling of late at $40, in the field.
