The Barton Standard Of Aug. %,
says: A young man named Powers,
son of Frank Powers, of Salem, Vt,
came to his death under rather sin
gular circumstances last Saturday.
AS near as we can ascertain the
facts, he was chopping off tree
which had been upturned by the
roots, and standing upon the part
next to the roots. When he struck
the last blow he was thrown some
distance into the air by the force of
the stump springiug back into it's
original place. In his descent he
either struck upon the upturned
'dge of his axe, or reaching the
ground first the axe came down upon
Ills neck. severing it quite half off.
lie jumped up, however, ran a short
distance, Int foil and soon expired.

Liquor trials sometimes develop a
curious state of things. AT a trial
in Lyndon last week, one witness
being pressed to disclose who he
drank with, unwillinely owned up
that it was with one of the lawyers
in the case, and the justice before
whom the case was being tried. The
court said "a.hem," and hitched his
chair q little from his former posi-
ton. The lawyer crossed his legs
aud called for the next witness.

TIE Twentieth Annual Fair of the

TIE Twentieth Annual Fair of the
Orsnge County Agricultural SOcie,
twill be held in Bradford Village,
pext week Tuesday, Wednesday aud
Thursday, Sept. 20, 81 and 20.
The exhibition at our Fairs has
been uniformly good, yet never what
it might be if all those who have
meritolious articles and stock, wo'd
interest themselves in the Annual
exhibitions. We wish particularly
to urge upon the Ladies, Mechanics
and Manufac .urers, the Importance
of bringing out the best products of
their labors, in order that we may
derive the tall benefit sought in our
Annual Fairs.
We are aware that exhibitors in
these departments of home made
articles, labor under some discour.
agelnent from the fact that little OF
no distinction is made in awarding
premiums between articles of home
manufacture and those purcha sed
abroad. We take it the object of
our fairs is, or should be, to develop
and improve home products, and not
to bring them into dlsparaging ri.
valry with foreign products. We
thiuk the officers of the Society
should and will, if their attention is
called to this matter when the com.
on these departments are
appointed. give them proper instruc.
tons in regard 10 this matter, so
that the majority OF premiums shall
be awarded on the best articles of
home production.

The great original and only Car
diff Giant will be at our County
Fair next week, for exhibition.
This is not huuibug, but the
oliginal-statue or petrifed human
being-whichever you please--and
wonderful whichever theroy You see
fit to adopt. Many of our citizens
who saw it at st. JOhusbury, say it
is the most wonderful thing they
ever saw, and not one of them had
any doubts of its antiquity. Most
of those best qualified to judge, re.
iect the petrifaction theory and be.
lieve it to be IA piece OF statuary
carved out centuries ago, and prob.
ably made and worshipped as
god by some idolatrous nation
This seems TO us the most rational,
although the perfection even in the
minutest points give others some
reason for believing it to be a petri-
faction. Don't fail to see it. You
will never Iegret the cost.

Boiler Explosion!
The MINOR MILL HORROR.
NINE MEN THE VICTIMS !
The Engine House in Ruins !

The Engine House in Ruins /!
Last Saturday morning our citizens
were Mortified by the explosion of =
boiler at Minors mill, which took
place about half past six o'clock.
1t appears that something had got
out Of order in the upper part of the
mill, and while this was being put in
running order, the greater number of
the men went down into the engine
room, where they were at the time of
the accident. When the explosion
took place there was eighty pounds Of
steam up, and we are informed that
they had previously carried one hund-
rcd pounds. Both ends Of the boiler
were blown out, and fragments Of the
shattered building scattered in every
direction. The brick wall at the rear
end of the boiler was completely de-
molished, and bricks were thrown q
distance of about fifteen rods, while
the steam and water were thrown twice
the distance.
There are nine men who were the
victims of the disaster, which are
Robt. Atwell, slightly scalded about
the face and on the left arm; Edward
Monroe, thought fatally scalded about
the head, face and body; Samuel Rus
rell, badly scalded about the head,
face and body, and his recovery is
doubtful; AL. Nicholson, badly scald-
ed and left arm broken; Albert Lew
less, badly scalded about the head,
face and shoulders, and seriously in
jured in the back; Patrick Culligan,
scalded about the face; Chas. Lafre-
Mere, seriously scalded about the head,
face and body; Mike Belmarrc, scald-
ed about the head and face, but not Sc
riously, and =. Boehnke, badly scald-
ed about the head, face, arms and legs,
but not dangerous.
The unfortunate men were taken to
their boarning houses and homes and
medical aid summoned. All is being
done for the sufferers that can be ask
ed, and it is to be hoped that they
may soon recover.
P.S. Since writing the above we
learn that Edward Monroe died at his
residence in the upper part of the city,
about FIVE o'clock Saturday evening.
Chas. Fafreniere died about two hours
later.
