THE EpIzooTIc. Tho horse disease
is spreading in Burlington, but thus far
is generally of a mild type. One horse
in the Van Ness House stables is very
sick aud there are one or two others in
town. All the horses in the American
stables some twenty odd in number, are
coughing, but none seem to be in a very
bad condition. In all probably n hun
dred horses in Burlington have the COM
plant Many Of them are in constant
use.
AccIDENT.-C. w. Brownell, Jr,
while working in the saw mill. owned by
his brother, S. A. Brownell and himself
,at Essex Junction, Wednesday forenoon,
!, caught his hand under rope running
over the main shaft and was carried over
the shaft several times before the mill
could be stopped. Before being released
his arm was found to be broken between
the elbow and shoulder, and he was con.
siderably bruised otherwise. 1t is re.
garded very fortunate that he received
no greater injury.
The bears have recently killed IL
sheep for S. W. Bourn, in Manchester
and after the sheep were gone commenced
on his apples. This was to much fol
fallen human nature to endure, and sever.
al traps were set for the intrudcrs. A
few nights ago a bear got in one of the
traps and started with it up the cas-
mountain. In the morning pursuit wa
given and the trap was found near the
summit of the mountain with three of The
bears toes therein, the loss of which al
lowed the animal to escape.-Journal,

TIE VERMONT CENTRAL.-It is fact
explainable perhaps by the pure autumn
al air. that the whistles Of the engines o.
the Vermont Central sound UNUSUAL
clear, and as it were, cxultingly thes
days. 1t may be that our own great sat
isiaction in the success of the manager
in tiding over the threatening Gnancia
? 5rakcrs, will account for the phenome
non. The required loan is raised and a
opportunity is given for making consol
idation of its several interests that Wi
be satisfactory to all parties. We hav
full and entire faith in the genius and en-
ergy that were sufficient. to bring ordc
out of chaos and put a soul under tn
ribs of death in the Northern Pacific en-
terprisc. We do not doubt but that tn
affairs Of the Central will be SO ordcre
} now that Gov. Smith can devote his er
tire attention to it, that its prosperity wi
be greater than ever before and its sue
cess yield an ample revenue to its stock
holders and untold blessings to the State
