bury lost $1,000. This is wrong. Tb
amount is only 1000. Our citizen, S. T
Rockwell, Esq, lost 5000.
MIR. Rider, of the firm of Messrs. Gas
81 Rider, of our village, while riding t
the wedding of friend in Bristol, on tn
morning of the 9th instant, met with
serious accident. The horse became un
manageable and upset the carriage, throw
ing the inmates, his wife and himself
violently upon the ground. In the fal
the thumb upon his right hand was brok
en-, while Mrs. Rider was somewhat
though not seriously, injured. The car
riage was broken, and the horse clearing
himself, ran away; upon the whole, for
tunate termination to what at one timt
promised to be very serious affair, in
deed. The injury he sustained occasions
as may we'll be imagined, intense pain.
Mr.. S. B. Rockwell, of our village
contemplating changing his residence
to Chicago, Illinois, advertises his
Ssring-side property for sale. 1t is very
desirable residence. We are sorry to an
ticipate losing Mr.. R., who has been Sc
many years resident of our village and
aided materially in building up the place
and identifying it in various ways.
The peg and clothes-pin factory at
East Middlebury was discovered to be on
fire on the morning of the 7th inst, at
half-past eight o'clock. 1t was entirely
consumed, together with the machinery.
The loss is about $1,000 The property
was owned by e. F. Sadler and others,
and was insured. About 81, 800 worth of
stuff in the rough, nearly ready to be
manufactured, was also consumed Upon
this there was no insurance. 1t wss I'M
questionably the work of an incendiary.
1t is a great loss to the people of East
Middlebury. 1t was very fortunate that
there was little wind, else the fire would
most probably have caught the forge
just below, and from there extended to
the dwelling houses contiguous, and where
it would have ended, none can tell.
Our County Court held a very short
session and adjourned the 10th inst But
one civil suit was tried by jury. lib.

and sentenced to State Prison for three
years. Edwin Elliott was also convicted

for one year.
"A little child of Mr.. Charles Bruyea
in our village, through mistake, on the
fifth inst, drank from bottle some bed
bug poison, and it is doubtful if it recov-
ers. A loud warning to parents to keep
such stuff away from the reach of little
One of the old and highly respected cit
zen of Weybridge deceased the past week,
IN the person of Mr.. Asaph Drake. l
think he was the oldest citizen in that
town, being, as am informed, 81 years
Of age. He has lived in that town over
~ years, and hes been honored by bis fel.
ow citizens with offices of trust and re-
possibility, the duties of which were
'lways faithfully discharged
AT the last session of our county
ourt, no case being ready for trial the
lrst day, the court adjourned for the aay
t noon. In the afternoon Judge Pier
'oint and the County Judge, with the .
members of the bar went to the Glen
House at East Middlebury, kept by r.
}. Farr, and enjoyed the luxury of
plendid trout dinner gotten up by Mrs. ,
'arr in her usual sccepta BILE style. Hay- ..
ng, myself, tested the merits of these
rout dinners gotten up by Mrs Farr, l :
an most trnthfully say, they cannot be
xcelled. The Glen House is fayorite
esort for invalids during the summer
lonths, and all are sure of the most gen.
,ous hospitality from Mr.. Farr and his =
nployes. 1t is only five miles from our -
llsge.
We were blest with a most refresh q

was much needed, and assure you was "
ost acceptable. Nature smiles at these q

Grey. Strikingly becoming is the graf C,
lde of the human heart, to Him n
ho sends His rain upon the just and un- q,

love and deep humility. :,
