most respected citizens of Berlin, died at hi
residence in that town on Monday night last
at the age of 81 years Dr. Winslow haC
held many Offices of trust within the gift O.
his fellow citizens, and was universally
esteemed for his integrity. probity and bis
moral worth. He gave up the active practice
Of the profession years ago, and has since
devoted himself to the cultivation of his
tsrm which was among the best in that town
Of fine farms. He comes down to the garner
IF death like shock of corn fully ripe, and
the good he has done will live after him.
The reports from the Montpelier and " ellis
River Railroad are most gratifying. Over
five hundred and seventy men are now at
work on the line of the road The grading
has progressed into Marshfeld one mile, and
the stone work above Kinney mills to that
point is nearly completed, and much of it is
made Of the incest split granite. The peces-
sary shanties for the accommodation of
laborers at Groton have been erected, and
from that point the work will now be vigor-
ously pushed in both directions.
Peter St John, living upon the Bacon
place IN Berlin, run into or was himself run
into b. Mr. Dudley, while driving rapidly
up Berlin Street last Monday evening The
-1Iision occurred near Mr.. Salinas residence,
and st. Johns sulky had wheel taken off,
himself thrown into the ditch and severely
stunned, and his horse escaped with the re-
mains Of the carryalI. The lines becoming
entangled in the wheels soon brought up the
horse, and the animal was secured before
seriously injuring himself Peter should
irive slower, and all travellers in the dusk
Of evening should keep sharp lookout for
breakers ahead.
We learn that on Sunday last house in .
Warren was struck by lightning, while the |
family were abs ont al church, the door and .
window castings were wrenched off, the sink \
demoralized, and serious damage done to other
portions Of the wood work, without setting
the house on fire. This is an argument for
ehurch-going in thunder storm. Had the
family been at home they would probably not
have escaped unframed
