About 8 o'clock a Mr.. Croft was on

the wind, the two red torches, by the
light of which he could see boys
crowded on the sled, all yelling and

of his being in their way. He endeav-

but they became frightened at the
torches and shouts and could not be

The collision was fearful, and some of
the boys were thrown clear over his

Charles B. Williams lived only few

soon died. Four other boys were
badly hurt, and one of Grof7s horses
was killed. The accident has caused

action of assumpsit. Plea, general issue

deft. when small girl of about three
years of age, and continued to live with
him until she was eighteen years of age,

to make her an heir to his estate or pay
her we'll for her services. Although of

admitted that she had been a faithful
girl, and performed her work with zeal
and earnestness, and that it was true
that she had done such work as she in
her testimony claimed to have done !;
such as feeding stock, cleaning stables,
spreading manure, gathering sap in the
sugar place, in fact nearly all work that
men were called upon to do upon farm
she had performed with her own hands.
The deft. claimed that although she had
performed this labor, yet the relation
that existed between them was that of
parent and child, and that there was no
express promise to pay for services rem
dered. But it seems the jury thought
differently, for they brought in verdict
for 100000, which was $75 more than

THAT ELOPEMENT.

Mr.. EDITOR: notice in your paper
of February 10th, under the head of
Local and State News" an article
headed by the apostrophe IAN Elope-
ment and What Became of It." | think
that local news like Indifferent music
may be neither good nor bad but the
article referred to has positive quality
which l wish you, in your next number
of the Caledonion to notice, although it
may leave the patrons of your paper in
the village of St. Johnsbury "out of
breath, all to no purpose" so far as the
young fellow Ellis, and the orphan girl
are necessary to perfect the drama
The unimportant details of your note
are sufficiently definite to leave 10 doubt
upon my mind that the young fellow,
Ellis, as you call him, and your CORES
pondent are one and the same person.
1t will follow, therefore, that l am IA
miliar with all the particulars which
came so near furnishing scene sufficient
to produce frst-class sensation in st.
Johnsbury last week.
If understand the defnation of elope-
ment, 1 suppose you mean clandestine
departure from some place, against the
wishes or consent, either expressed or
implied of another. In my case such
facts are wholly wanting came to St.
Johnsbury few weeks since with a view
to establish, by honest industry and a
few hundred dollars as an outfit, a resi-
dence in northeastern Vermont, it being
my native state, having been born and
brought up in Westminster, Vermont.
l came to St. Johnsbury with the girl
mentioned in your note, She is an or
phan, her father was killed in the battle
of the Wilderness. She has mother
living in Westminster, who was acquain-
ted with our intention to establish for
ourselves, at proper time, a joint
home.
Your narrative is also destitute of
truth, as it relates to my being bound
up to court for having in my possession
a watch which did not belong to me.
Your note also, being, in all its essen
tial particulars, untrue, and of defam
atory character, l ask of you to publish
this note as an act of justice to me, and
as a protection to yourself as l suppose
you have been imposed upon by being
misinformed by some villain from your
own neighborhood, whose conduct, when
exposed, as it is about to be by a legal
investigation, will not fail of producing
frst-class sensation among the law
abiding citizens of ST. Johnsbury.

LYNDON.
On Thursday morning of last week a
man registered his name at the Lyndon
House as Samuel Morse Of Reygate He
wanted to stop few days and look up
some horses. He seemed to be stirring
round with some object in view, but no
one knew what. On Sunday evening he
was unusually devout and demonstrative
at the Methodist meeting. His teeth
were out of order, and Dr. Bartlett put a
few dollars worth of work into his head
and trusted him. He snapped watches
with Frank Eastman, agreeing to pay
SIS to boot. After the trade was made
he told Eastman that he was going to
Pudding Hill, and might dispose of the
watch he let Eastman have. Eastman
thought it a good opportunity to secure
the services of a good agent without
charge and handed him the watch with
instructions to "dispose of it and I'll be
much obliged to YOU The agent prob
ably obeyed orders, for he has not since
been seen, and McGafy is in deep mourn
ing for his hotel bill. Bartlett has at
least one permanent investment, and
Eastman is calculating the profits accru-
ing from volunteer agents. We are told
the same man has transacted similar
business at Mortified and other places
in the State. Look out for him. He is
a sort of pretty man, with long hair,
with one big curl on the top of his head,
as mothers sometimes fix their babies.
