Joseph German, living at Mr. h. Ii.
Parkills, Cornwall, was on the nth,
inst, arranged by States Attorney Ira w.
Clark, Esq, before Justice Slade.
charged with disfguring three very fine
horses belonging to SIS. Andrus Of Corn
wall, by shaving off the hair from their
tails and names. The Justice upon a
full hearing of the case, bound up the
respondent to the County Court in the
sum Of 81, 900. Mr. L. 3. Parkill be-
came his bail. The respondent is the
hired man of Mr.. Parkill, and has had
some serious difficulty with Mr.. Andrus.
The evidence on the examination was
circumstantial but strong in its charac-
ter, and to many minds very convincing
as to the guilt Of the respondent. The
horses were being fitted for market but
by this act, are thrown back upon the
owners hands, sadly mutilatcd and un-
saleable. Such an act is malicious and
villainOus, whoever did it. and fully de-
serves the punishment provided in such
eases i'll the statutes.
Mrs. KinwOrthy, widow of the late
James Unworthy of our village. while
attempting. on the 9Th inst. TO carry
table up a fight of stairs. lost her bal
ance, and was precipitatcd backwards
down the stairs, the table falling heavily
upon her The fall rendered her uncon-
sciOus for one hour, when she recovered
and is now getting along quite well.
Mr. Myron Langworthy. while car
rying his arms full of wood four feet
long, up pair of stairs, reached the top
and in attempting to open the door, lost
his equilibrium. and was violently
thrown backward down the stairs, with
the wood travelling around him. For
tunately he was not severely hurt.
Mrs. Edwin Lawrence, wife of Ed
win Lawrence Esq, of Weybridge, died
at her house the evening of the 18th. af-
ter long and distressing illness, which
she bore with great patience and chris
tan resignation. She was a most excel
lent woman, and greatly beloved by her
friends. For years she has been a mem
Der of the VI. E. church in Middlebury.
| Her funeral is to take place the 10Th,
inst, Rev. \. F. Bailey, officiating.
i am happy to inform your readers,
that our river, so long bound up with ice
two feet thick, is now clear from the
same. The water is quite high and up
some four miles south fills the swamps
back for miles.
MI. Nnarles II. Earl, OF tne nrm OF
Earl & Clay, dealers in hardware in our
village, has sold out his interest to
Messrs. Wilcox & Hyde, who, with Mr..
Clay will continue the business at the
old stand.
The spring term Of our graded school
commenced last week, under the super
intendence of Mr. a. J. Sanborn as
principal, assisted by crop Of able and
efficient female teachers. am glad to
say that in my opinion. no better schools
can be found in the State. and the large
| attendance of scholars shows that our
community appreciates the fact.
There are within the limits Of the
village of Middlebury II widows. What
fine opportunity for old bachelors and
widowers. if inclined to a matrimonial
life? How is it with the village of Rut-
land?
The weather the past week has not
been very favorable for the making of
maple sugar. and fears are entertained
that we shall not have our usual supply
of the staple commodity Of Vermont
CANDoR.
