Chester.
Married on the 9th inst. by Rev.
E. S. Foster, Hugh Henry, Esq, to
Miss Emma j. Ordway. While pom
dering over the loss of brother Henry
from the bachelor ring, we see the ap-
plication of the words: "there is q di-
vinity which shapes our ends rough
Hugh them as we will" We are fur
ther led into contemplation of the fact
that an Ord-way was employed to
bring this thing about. Without look
ing through piece of smoked ham,
we can see no impediment to our best
congratulations, and we still run the
prohibition blockade to take little
pisen to the long and prosperous ca
reer of the happy couple.
Ludlow sent jolly party of
some thirty couples to Chester one
day last week. They dined and
danced at the Ingraham House.
Upon reflection we are glad that
some thousands of cords of dry wood,
the new depot, stores, and dwellings,
which cluster about the railroad, were
not swept away by fire one of those
windy nights last week, but it was no
fault of the idiot who filled barrel
situated in the wood shed of the rail-
road company, with live Goals and
ashes, for the barrel was about burned
up; and in ten or twenty minutes
more-had not person happened to
be passing by-it was after bed time
we might have been, ere this, starting
out appeals for shelter food and cloth
ing. 1t would be well to electrify
the dormant faculties of the ash-barrel
man, by starting him just forward of
q Wisconsin thirty mile fire, giving
the fire the advantage of q favoring
breeze, and doubling up the man with
collie pains, Or hitching him to a stone
drag.

Windsor.

Windsor.
The sleighing has been the best
in this vicinity for the past two weeks I;
and our streets present an animated
appearance.-We counted one hun
dred teams on Main street on Satur-
day, the 13th.-Trade is quite brisk
with our merchants, considering the
hard times.-Wood is to be had at
$3.50 cents per cord, of very good
quality-Our people are harvesting
a splendid crop of ice from Ascutney
Pond, which is clear as crystal.-Oli-
yer Sykes and Elmer Gardner of West
Windsor had little onpleasantness
in relation to some wood which the
latter had purchased from Sykes,
which resulted in Sykes putting a
"mansard roof over Gardncr's eye
with q sled stake, and otherwise beat
ing him; which does not speak well
for Sykes. Elmer is an unfortunate
fellow, who is III the habit of getting
on periodical sprees, but whennot I'M
der the influence of "evil spirits" is
one of the quietest and best of men.
We understand lawsuit will termi-
nate this unfortunate and uncalled for
quarrel.-The mixed train going south
over the Vermont Central r. r., met
with very bad accident Saturday
night. On reaching High Bridge, over
Sugar river, in Claremont, N. H., the
third car from the engine was thrown
off of the track and was followed by
four more, all of which were precipi-
tated from the bridge, and fell a dis
tance of one hundred feet into the
highway that runs under the bridge,
making perfect wreck of them. One
man-name and residence unknown
who was stealing ride, went over
with them, and is badly injured. He
is not expected to recover. The five
cars that went down were in the mid
die of the train. The passenger car
on the rear end remained on the track,
had it gone over there would have
been q great loss of life, as there were
ten, or more, passengers in it. On
the whole it was very fortunate ac-
cident.
