A brutal assault was made upon VIM.
E. Mantling, policeman, by one John
Hogan. Mantling had arrested one Pat
rick Hogan for intoxication and dis
turbing the public peace, and while en-
deavoring to handcuff him after having
thrown him down, he was struck in the
eye by stone in the hands of John Ho-
gan. Fears were entertained at first
that he would lose his eye, but it is
slowly recovering, and unless inf1amma-
ton should set in, it will fully recover
in few days. Hogan has been arrest
ed upon complaint by the Grand Juror,
for an assault and for hindering and
impeding an officer, and put under one
Thousand dollar bonds, to appear before
Justice S. Allen on the Goth of the pres
ent month. Hogan was also arrested
upon a writ for private damages and re-
quired to give bail in the sum of two
thOusond dollars. This is the first row
that has occurred in our village since
the enforcement of the liquor law, and
we learn that the parties procured their
fire-water in the neighboring State of
New York.
Those interested in the construction
of a railroad from some point on the
Rensselaer, & Saratoga railroad to TicOn-
deroga, are at lOggerheads. Those re-
siding in Troy are in favor of construct
ing it upon the west side of the Lake,
and making the come elton at Whitehall,
at a cost of about one and half mil
lions of dollars. While those residing
in New York city are in favor of build
ing it on the east side of the Lake, and
form connection at Fairhaven, and there
by have better road after it is COM
pleted, and at a saving of about one
million of dollars. The question is,
who will carry the day.
We understand that there is to be
another large steam slate mill erected
here the present season, for the manu-
facture of tile and marbleized slate stock.
This business is the best paying Of any
in Vermont.
One of the most lively and social
little parties of the season gathered at
the house of mine friend, William W.
Pitkins, on Thursday eve, the 18th inst.
The invitation said it was to be sugar
party, and as matter of fact we expect
ed only sugar to eat, but what was our
surprise, upon going to the supper room
to find that Sarah chad gone and done

everything the heart could desire, and
got up in Sarahs best style, which cam
not be beat. But one thing occurred to
mar the pleasures of the evening, land
that was the loss by young lady of
pink ribbon, which disappeared in a
very mysterious manner from her wrist.
1t is thought that certain young gent
took it, and we learn that measures are
about to be taken to have the affair
thoroughly investigated, and if the
young man is guilty, to have immediate
justice melted out to him by the parson.
Long live William and Sarah, and may
their sugar parties never grow less.
Miss Carrie Vail, who has been
spending the winter in Cuba, returned
last evening, and Miss Gussie Baldwin,
who has been spending the winter in
New York, is expected home next week.
The next meeting of the Fairhaven
Literary Circle will be held at the house
of Col. AlonsOn Allen, at which time
the play of Hamlet will be read. We
flatter ourselves that we have as fine a
literary society as any town of our size
in the State.
