A wood pile of considerable dimen-

slight ones.
Mr.. E. Poronto has purchased lot

On Tuesday morning, one of the
brightest, warmest and most suspicious
of the season, two of our active business
young men, recent converts to the phil
osophic reminder IT'S not good for
man to be alone" were joined in holy
wedlock to the ladies of their choice.
In ST. Bridget's church, at morning ser
vice, Rev c. O'Rielly officiating, Mr..
James .Leamy, our longtime efficient
and popular station agent, was married
to Miss Katie Clark, eldest daughter of
P Clark, of this place. Many friends
of the bride and groom witnessed the
ceremony. At nine o'clock, on the ar
rival of many friends from Rutland, Mr..
Peter Burns, another of our highly re-
spected and successful business young
men, was married in st. Michaels
church, Poultney, to Miss Mary Flood,
second daughter of John Flood, Father
G. O'Carroll, pastor, officiating. After
the ceremony the numerous guests pro-
ceeded to the residence of Mr.. Flood,
where bountiful and elegant repaSt
was served. In the afternoon Mr.
Burns and lady were met at the depot
by Mr.. Leamy and bride from West Rut-
land, and together the happy quartette
departed upoh short bridal tour, fol-
lowed by the blessings of hundreds of
well wishers and the suppressed signs of
remaining singledom who are always
naturally envious on such occasions,
pending their own immolation on the
alter of love. EXCELSIOR.
PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT. Loren
Atwood, an esteemed citizen of Rutland,
and, for many years past, superintend-
ent of the Rutland manufacturing
company, was thrown from his wagon
and seriously injured, yesterday. At
about two o'clock in the afternoon, his
horse and wagon being at the door for
the purpose of carrying him to his place
of business, he came from the house,
put a rocking chair-that needed some
repairs in the wagon, and stepped in
himself. Before he had taken his seat,
he took hold of the chair to place it in a
more convenient position, and while
thus standing, the horse suddenly start
ed, throwing Mr.. Atwood, backwards
over the rear of the wagon. With great
presence of mind, he caught hold of the
"end board and maintained his hold
thereof, until the horse was going
down into West street-which, at this
place, was of descending grade-at an
accelerated rate of speed, when, by
further sudden start of the horse or the
"jolting of the wagon by passing over
the gutter, his hold was released, and he
was throwR with great violence to the
ground, striking on the back of his
head. His horse instead of going down
the West street hill, turned up, toward
Court street, running into the ditch at
the corner of that and West street, the
wagon being overturned and consider
ably demolished, and the horse secured
without injury. In the meantime, Mr..
Atwood's condition had been observed,
and he was taken up, carried to his resi-
dence, which fortunately was only few
feet distance, and medical aid inn
mediately summoned Drs. George II,
Fox, Goldsmith and Allen, were soon in
attendance. Their examination showed
that there was fracture of the skull.
