WEST RUTLAND.-We have heard
several descriptions of storm which evil
IDENTIFY selected West Rutland as its sport
ing ground. on Friday last, nothing start
ling having occurred in any other part
of the country during the week except
the riot in New York, and without as
piring to "B NATURAL" on SO sublime a
subject, we have only to add that the
wind and ice did make pretty free with
exterior objects generally, such as super
animated apple trees, tall chimneys, ex-
posed equestrians, mileh cows and early
cabbage, giving the st. Vitus' dance to
spring chickens, etc, but we must cam
didly protest, as lover of agriculture,
against the "sublimity" of such transac-
tions as we'll as the improbable "probabil-
ities," guessed out in Washington and
telegraphed all over the country to fool
us farmers into awful mistakes. Hay is
too scarce and precious an article to be
lifted in the arms of old Bereas and made
to exchange townships in bee line, leav-
ing nothing tangible behind but the cha
grin of the owner.
In Castleton we hear the electric fluid
entirely consumed the telegraph appara-
tus and no doubt paralyzed the steel
pen of your correspondent there, as he
has not touched upon the sublimity OF
the event at all.
The damage to the Barnes House-de-
molition of three chimneys and conse'
quent ingress Of water upon carpets and
furniture-will amount to two hundred
dollars.
The citizens Of our quiet burgh were
RECALLED by some excellent music, by the
Sarsfield Band, on Saturday evening.
They were accompanied by Prof. Wilson,
whose "notes" will ever more be current
in this vicinity. The boys were encour-
aged by hearty applause at their several
stopping places to "do so some more" and
I have no doubt they will. Can't we
have a band stand
While Mr.. John Magin, of the firm of
Magin & Thompson, was delivering goods
late on Saturday evening, in attempting
to turn short in a meat wagon, it was
overturned, and Mr.. M. thrown violently
to the ground. He received several Sc
we're bruises about the head, but most
likely escaped without serious injury.
The horse ran short distance and was
secured.
Mr. H Clinton Carpenter, late mer-
chant of this village, whose family resides
here, has opened a store in Burlington,
Iowa.
The many admirers of the Rutland
Quintette Band, in this vicinity, are
pleased to notice the reorganization of
that body, under their favorite leader, Mr..
a. B. Williams.
The erection of an extensive marble
mantle mandatory by Messrs. Pritch-
ard & Co, will be commenced here short
ly. Success to the enterprise.
A photographer attempted to produce
the Catholic school building with three
or four hundred bobbing, restless figures
as frontispiece, on Friday. When the
word "all ready" was given, every eager
eye and giddy head tried to command
the best position for inspecting the en-
CINE. Operator and instrument disap-
peared over the hill, evidently forgetting
the rule, Negatives to be paid for at
the time of setting"
AS an evidence of the sanitary condi-
ton of our people and the progress of the
science Of medicine, over here, we count
ed seven medical professors in one day,
all engaged in the duties of their calling.
Truly, physic is becoming a necessary
evil among US.
EXCELSIOR.
