SPRINGFIELD-Mr. L. B. Hurd, hav-
ing quite recently completed his new
and tasty two-story dwelling house, on
Mineral street, was called upon last
Thursday evening by quite large num-
Der of neighbors and friends, who took
possession of the premises for the time
being, and after presenting to Mr.. and
Mrs. H., very pretty hanging lamp for
the front hall, refreshments were served
and an hour pleasantly spent, during
which time congratulations were very
freely showered upon the proprietors by
all present with their best wishes. The
presentation was made by Rev. H. W.
Worthen, in short but pleasing and APP
propriatespeech, and responded to by Mr.
Hurd. 1t is hoped that the occasion was
enjoyed by the proprietors as much as
by their numerous friends. If there is
one who should be gratifed more than
another, let it be heard. -
Mr.. A. McQuade, in the employ of r.,
L. Lovel, butcher, was severely injured
on Monday of last week by being kicks

SHOOTING ACCIDENT" One of those
shooting accidents" so frequent now
days, and apparently growing more SO,
occurred here, or rather on Mt. Kill
burn, Monday afternoon last. A young
man named Alonzo Rhoades went hunt
ing on the mountain, and while load
ing his pistol. held it with the muzzle
directly pointing at his body, and as he
Was adjusting the cap the hammer sprung
and exploded the pistol, the ball enter
ing his body just below the stomach and
passing upward lodged in his back He
was alone at the time and managed with
much difficulty to get to his boarding
place at Mr.. Timothy's, near Cold river
station in Walpole, about miles below
this place on the New Hampshire side,
by walking a few rods and then laying
down exhausted, till reaching the road,
when he was found by other parties and
cared for Dr. Whitman was sent for,
but the wound was mortal and he died
about noon on Tuesday. He was about
p years of age and had been employed
in this place as truckman by John
Wilder, and we are informed was from
North Clarendon. 1t will be seen by
the way in which he held his pistol while
loading, that the result was one which
could not we'll be avoided.

ARREST FOR THEFT.-On Monday of
fcer Capt. Taylor received telegram
from Brattleboro to arrest two young
men here, giving description, &c. He
found the men at once, and took them to
Brattleboro, in the afternoon. They
we're hat rack peddlars and at Brattle-
boro were charged with stealing gold
watch and chain, but the goods could not
be found, and they were discharged.
Their names we're given as John E. Had
ley and - Brewster, but the last NAM
ed had registered his name at Brattleboro
as Williams. Afterwards hadley was
arrested again at CIRCUITS Corner and
brought back to Brattleboro. The 9TH
er had not been found at last accounts.
A thorough search in valise found the
jewelry which had been stolen from
daughter of N. E. Starkey at the hotel.
The watch and chain were stolen from
daughter of John Brooks at his house.
Further revelations show that one of
them had forged orders on one or two
persons at Brattleboro, and one also forg-
ed pass on the railroad. Hadley was
held to bail in $1,000, and expected his
father, said to be respectable man in
Worcester, Mass, on Wednesday to be-
C me bail for him. The other will be
dealt with when found.

The Rum Riot.

The rum riot here on Tuesday even
ing, ought to be suggestive to all who
are engaged in the sale of intoxicating
liquors. We don't refer to the morale of
temperance reform nor 10 prosecutions
under the statute for violation in selling
the fire king, but to the great risk run by
all engaged in the traffic for damages
that may occur. In several of the states
heavy verdicts have recently been rem
dered against the seller for damages &C.
curing iii consequence of rum riots and
these cases are all precedents which will
be used by other courts in all future sim
liar trials 1t was but little more, APP
parently, than hairs breadth, that
much damage and injury was escaped on
Tuesday evening, from the men who,
crazed with rum had become demons and
desperad0es of the most dangerous char
acter, though for ought we know they
may be inohensive men when free from
liquor. Another such occasion we may
not escape so well. Indeed, it might
prove " DEATH hell and victory" but it
Is certainly not desirable to be subjected
to any such ordeal, and it is quite certain
that any parties who may suffer damage
from such cause, even though friendly to
the use of liquors, will bring suits to re-
cover, in case they suffer damage from
such cause. 1t is well therefore that the
seller should understand the volcano up
on which he stands, as even the great
profits supposed to be made in the traffic
would be insufficient 70 protect the trade.
May we not hope therefore that the mar
row escape of this week, will be received
as a caution.

SUICIDE AT RUTLAND.-W. A. Hale
of Rutland committed suicide on Satur-
day by going to a swamp and cutting his
throat. He appears to have been a vic
tim of black mailing, and letter was
found upon him from one George a.
Patch of that place, demanding $50 for
alleged intimacy with Patch's wife 1t
is shown that afterwards Patch saw Hale
and demanded $780, Hale leaves wife
and child of whom he took an affectioDate
leave when he left the house to commit
self-murder, and though these circum-
stances created some anxiety on the part
of his wife, nothing was done about it
till next morning, when he was found
dead. He was member of the Wash
ington fire company of Rutland and at
tended the muster at Brattleboro.

from the post office at Tilton letter writ
ten by his wife and directed to DR.. James

that this letter furnished evidence of an
Illicit amour between the correspondents.
Some legal proceedings followed the dis
covery, but a reconciliation was finally
effected between the Kelseys and DR..
Osborn soon after instituted proceedings
against Mr.. Kelsey for obtaining the let
