As Mr.. w T. Room, of Boston, Mass,
and his associate agents for advertising
doctor Rodgers Food for Infants and
Invalids," were leaving town last Friday,
they met with a severe accident that
came very near resulting very disastrous
ly. As they were crossing the bridge
that spans the railroad in front of the
store of Messrs. Langworthy & Co, the
horse they were driving became fright
ened by passing train of cars. and COM
menced running dawn the hill In at
tempting to turn near the cotton factory,
the carriage was upset and the horse
breaking the thills became disengaged
from the vehicle, and dashed away over
the bridge. Mr.. R. and bis associates
were thrown violently upon the ground
with the carriage in ruins thrown upon
them. Il was found that Mr.. r. was Sc
riously hurt, and that his shoulder was
dislocAted. He was taken into the store
of Sheldon & Co., where Dr.. Porter of
Cornwall set the shoulder and be was
conveyed to the Addison House. The
other gentleman was not seriously hurt.
1T is escertained that large number
of bears are roaming on our mountains
in Ripton, Hancock and Lincoln. Mr.
Wilson of Hancock lost, on the night of
the 21st inst, full grown calf which
was chased in a pasture near his house,
by bear, and almost entirely consumed.
This same gentleman has but few DAYS
previous to this, lost eleven sheep from
the same cause. The bears are so bold as
to appear near the dwellings exciting just
ly much alarm. Measures are to be tax
en- soon to oxterminate these marauders,
and bear skins will soor, we trust, he in
the market for sale.
Mr.. Lindorf Casewell, of Ripton, who
committed the assault upon the house of
j. G. Chandler, mentioned in my letter of
last week, was arragned before Jutice
Matteson of that town last week, and held
for trial in 800 bonds at the County
Court. He procured bail, and at once
made tracks for distant portion of the I
as a warrant was soon issued
against him for attempting to set fire to
he office of A. P. Upper, Esq of East .
1t had been found where .
lie had bought the fuse and spirits of tur- ,
oentIRe used on that occasion. A man
who will fire the dwelling of his neighbor
leserves-well you know as we'll as can
ell, what. Every such man should be
united from pillar to post, and the mark :
f Cain be put upon him that he should ?
ot escape from justice, but brought to :,
uffsr the rigors of the law. a,
Mr.. H. L. Sheldon is at present en-. G
aged in making a great improvement in IL
he store property at the northeast of our n
illage bridge he recently purchased of d
ne WEIGH estate, by raising the building a.
'me three feet. This will put it in a t,
osition much demanded, and rendering te
highly beneficial to the tenants ID
We anticipate, the weather permit d.
ng, good show at our County Fair this u
eek. The president of the society. E S t,
lowell, Esq, of Cornwall, has Of late p
Sen very busy in connection with George
almond, E-q, general superintendent p
the fair, in making all necessary pre- r
'ration for the coming exhibition. We T.
ust it may prove complete success in III
cry respect. 10
I believe that Messrs Case & Ritter.
ruggists, have purchased the store oc- be
pied by J. S. Barker & Co., and con- NJ
nplate the coming fall or winter filing no
up with goods in their line. They pr
W occupy one half of the store in the in
nth part of the building, in which their sci
esent purchase is located. Ply
"A movement is in progress to remove me
railroad depot from its present as
alton, to the north part of our village, ed
o the meadow now owned by Oliver Gu
Verance, Esq. 1t is alleged that the lns
'sent grounds are too small to afford 'sl
)essary facilities for business men in liV
village, and to accommodate the sur
lnding county that sends hay, lumber,
tier, cheese, beans, potutoes, etc, here
shipment. What will be the final re- u,
t is, of course, for the railroad authori- w
to say. The new location spoken of, on
imply sufficient for all purposes neces- III
Y, and it was thought when the road ma
built that the depot would be there Ter
ated. But counsels prevailed that put W."
where it now is. Should the depot be cav
ioVed, l should not be surprised to see in r
ew Hotel erected near it. Such a so,r
nge would unquestionably cause an =.
ension of our village north, while it az
I'D also increase the distance for some Der
auI their goods to and from the depot Bur
their places of business But nous
