SHOOTING AFFAIR AT PUTNEY.-The
Brattleboro Record, says on Saturday
evening, 9Th inst, while several persons
were fishing on the west bank of the
Connecticut river, nearly opposite Put
ney depot, wordy alteration arose be-
tween one Jacobs and young man by
the name of Houghton, who was on the
New Hampshire side of the river, ia
cobs declaring that he would whip
Houghton at some future time when he
should catch him on the Vermont side.
Upon this, Houghton jumped into boat
and rowed for the Vermont shore, where
Jacobs sat fishing. Immediately on land
ing, Houghton informed Jacobs that if
he had any whipping to do now was the
time, and commenced applying abusive
epithets to Jacobs. who did not seem dis
posed to leave his fishing and indulge in
a fight. One word followed another,
and at last Jacobs caught up piece CT
a board, and in threatening manner
started for Houghton, who stood his
grsund until Jacobs got within striking
distance of him when he pulled out
pistol, fired. and then turned and ran
The ball struck Jacobs in the abdomen !;
but, owing to the position in which he
stood, it took, it took an oblique course,
passing along about eight inches between
the muscles and the walls of the bowels,
where it was removed by DIR. d. p.
Webster in about two hours after. Sun
day morning, Houghton came over to
Putney, and gave himself up to the au-
thorities. A complaint for an assault
with intent to kin was preferred against
him by the States Attorney, and on
Monday an examination was had before
Justice Simon w. Houghton, who held
him for trial in the County Court in six
hundred dollars bail.

We have comparatively some respect for
the Democrat who comes boldly forward

public will view with loathing and con

Mr.. Greeley is as fully the nominee o

stomach itself secretes acid which rising upward

impaired digestion. To get rid OF them or prevent
their recurrence 1t is only necessary to tone and reg

apathy in regard to the FIRE system. Ad-
mirAble plans mad been concocted but had
not bsen carried out. Il was arranged that
a hose company and house should be located
in each ward, but no houIs Was provided 10
the FRS. Ward and the company had to
come up town after their hose carriage be-
fore they could do any service. 1t is said
that arrangements are being made to-day
to place the system of FIRE alarm, hose

FIRE department in the best possible coudi'
ton, aud ready for any emergency.

Qua CITY WATER WORKS The benefits
aceruing from oar water works are being
manifested daily. Had it not been for the
Holly system Of water works in use here,
Buford's pillow factory would undoubtedly
have been burned to the ground on satur-
day night. II would have beeu impossible
to have got the FIRE steamers there in time to
save the works. As il was, the damage
must have been much greater had it not
been for the hose belonging to the works
which were ready at hand. Think of it.
The water works cost about $4,000, and
in this one instance they saved at least
$500 worth of property, besides the loss
Of employment for over two hundred men
The residence Of Mr.. Huber and the "Far.
mer's Retreat" could not have been saved
yesterday, had it not been for the works. A
few there were who did not favor the intro
duction Of the water works, but it would be
difficult to-day TO find man IN the city
who is not heartily in favor Of them.
