The Balloon Fizzle

A recent attempt to initiate the New
York Graphic balloon, resulted IN
much worse failure than the first. Il
burst and let out so great quantity OF
gas, that it nearly suGocated some OF
those standing near. Many believe it to
be a humbug and put up job to adyer-
tise and put money into the pocket OF
the Graphic newspaper. The proprie'
tors say, however, that they will build
another to start in October. Prof. Wise
does not appear to take much stock in
their proposals, and declared that the
one recently made was rotten and I'M
safe before it was inflated. Public con-
fidence in the affair has collapsed very
much after the manner of the balloon

State Fair,

The annual Fair of the Vermont State
Agricultural Society was held at Rutland
last week, commencing on Tuesday and
closing on Friday. 1t was fine success
from first to last and reflects much credit
on the officers of the Society who have
carried it through with SO much ability
and good management. Most of the va
rious departments were well represented,
and deserved good mention even though
may have failed to receive premiums
We believe the number Of entries was
larger than at any previous exhibition.
The representation of horses was quite
large, and excellent, especially that from
the Vermont Horse Stock Association.
That of cattle was also extensive.
In stock, this section of the State was
not so largely represented as it ought to
have been, and probably not so large as
it would have been but for the valley
fair at Claremont during the same time.
Charles Houghton of Putney was we'll
represented by his herd, but most of the
awards are to parties on the west side Of
the State. Mr.. G. H. Hubbard of Spring
field, took first premium of $15 for best
short horn cows, on playground, and from
what we have heard of his stock, no

represented, but those of this part of the
State have evidently retired on their
honors.
In Mechanics Hall, the award of a

evaporators. These evaporators have
now obtained thoroughly established
reputation for excellence, throughout
this State, New England and New Yorl
where maple sugar is manufactured

owned by J. Meade, time 2.423. Tn,
purse of $3.50 was won by S. w. Jones

Oldest brother or the highest peak is 1920 it. high,
The view from this mountain is hardly equalled
in New England, the home of beautiful landscape

Very vivid is the recollection of my visit to
this mountain. 1t was in Autumn, and the sky
was cloudless. Two classmates accompanied me.
There is path up the mountain, but before we
reached the summit we concluded that it was up
hill work.
Up we go, higher, higher,-before us is the
mountain steep, behind us is the same. AT length
we reach the top. The cool breezes, that at all
times play around the summit whistle past us but
only to return and repeat their frolic. There is a
perceptable change in the temperature. AT the
base 1t was quite warm, here overcoats would be
| quite acceptable But how delightful grand, sub.
lime, is the scenery. AT our feet flows the silver
current of the Connecticut For miles its fertile
valley is visible Alongits banks are green mead

danger near at hand, stand the rock.ribbed hills

themselves distinctly mirrored. Here and there
the green hills aud fertile valleys are dotted by

and each adding its charm to the scenery

FREE CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS.
"A writer in the sold and New" I'M
doubtedly hits the nail on the head when
he warns the country press that the re-
cent act of Congress abolishing the free
exchange list and free circulation Of
newspapers where published, is not only
a blow at them, but at that liberty Of
thought and intelligence which is the
life of republican institutions. The
great city papers which aim to control
public opinion are not affected by the
restriction.-It is in fact discrimination
in their favor. They will not only sup.
ply the reading public more cheaply
but almost exclusively with news, as well
as the comments by which that news is
often colored if not misinterpreted. II
is for their interest that the country
press should become the mere chronicle
of its own local gossip, which nobody
cares to read in the next town, or a
best but the echo of some city daily
whose opinion is often kindly telegraph
ed in advance for their guidance. All
this interference Of Congress with the
liberty of the country press has done
much to promote. That press showed
its power and Importance in the recen
Presidential contest, when so many O
the so-called leading papers of the coun
try undertook to elect as we'll as max
a candidate, and to defeat as well as de
nounce the choice of the country. The,
should refuse now to accept the subor
dinate position to which it is attempted
to assign them, and demand restora
ton of the time-approved privileges o
which not the press only but The public

New CouNTERFEIT.-An new counter
felt Of the new ffty-cent currency stamp
has been discovered. 1t has been so
skillfully executed that it is doubtful
whether one man in ten has knowledge
of its existence. 1t is said it appeared
two days after the issue OF the genuine.
If this be so, it is evident that some one
who had access to the genuine plate
must be connected with those persons
who have issued it. The get up of the
note is almost perfect. No difference
can be distinguished between the print
ing and engraving of the genuine and
counterfeit, SO experts decide, except by
the paper it is printed on and by the
loop on the letter p of Treasurer Spin
ner's name. On the right hand upper
corner of each note will be found the
loop of this letter /; if this is not there
the note is counterfeit.

a NOVEL SCENE IN CoURT.-A Bridge

affecting scene before the superior court
in that city, the other day. Two broth

The Valley Fair.

The Connecticut River Valley Assooi-
alton held their annual Fair at Clare
mont last week, amid delightful weather
and general success. On Wednesday
the ID day the attendance was estima-
ted at 10000 to 10000. The represen-
tations in some departments were not as
full as they otherwise would have been
from this State, on account of the State
Fair at Rutland at the sane time. The
Stock, however, was extra especially the
cattle, and there was a good show of
sheep. II. w. Sheldon of Weathersfield,
had a number of handsome merino
bucks, and III. M. Elwell of Langdon,
N. III. pen of fine sheep and lambs of
the same blood. Mr.. A. e. Fuller of
Pomfret, also had pen of same.
The show of horses was not so extern
sive as might have been and not so
good as this valley might show. Those
on exhibition possessed many good
points. Some of the trotting went as
low as 2:33, and several heats showed
less than $50, the purse of $500 was
won by Snowflake, owned by G. b. Bal
lad in 2:33.
OF cattle, the show was larger and ex-
cellent. E. w. Bancroft of Bellows
Falls, had four pens short horns, exhib-
tied by John Wilmoth who has care
and charge of the same. Five pens of
grade cattle by II. M. Elwell of Lang
don, were attractive, and still more SO
were nine pens of Durham cattle by
Robert Elwell & Son from the same
place. A fine lot of Jersey cattle were
on the grounds belonging to w. M. Ev
arts of Windsor. Several others also
had some fine cattle, Devons, grades, etc
The list of awards has not yet been pub
lished.
The mechanical departments wer,
light in the aggregate, but good. Among
them the Goss horse rake manufactured
by the Vt. Farm Machine Co. of thi

Murderous Assault at ST. Adams by

of himself, a lady who was his house.

reused by cries for help, proceeding from

his daughter. Going thither they found
Miss Brainerd bathed in blood, and suf

GUS blows upon the head. Her assail.
ant was nowhere visible, nor any expla.
nation apparent. All the account she
could give was, that waking from un
consciousness she found herself bleeding
and in pain, and called for aid. 1t il
supposed that some ruffian, considering
that the retired location of the house
and quiet habits Of the family, afforded
favorable opportunity for plumber, gain
ed entrance through cellar window il
the evening, and secreted himself in the
house till later hour; that Miss Brai
nerd, who was up late, either discovered
him in the house, or that he suddenly
attacked her fearing that she would dis
cover him, and beat her on the head
with club, knocking her senseless
when alarmed by his own act, he flee
from the house without stopping to tax,
anything. Nothing was missed from
the house. Mr.. Brainerd was Ions
County Clerk of Franklin county, and
is a respectable and highly esteemed
citizen. Miss Brainerd is an estimablt
young lady of % or % years. 1t i
supposed she lay insensible for hours
The doctors, when called found marks
of three heavy blows on her temples
but though terribly injured, and her lifi
endangered, it is now thought she vii

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM A TER
RIBLE DEATH is recorded as having re-
Gently taken place at Leavenworth, Kan.
A man named Norbeigh was engaged in
digging well, and when Just about fin
ishing his work the wall fell in upon
him, almost completely filling up the
hole, and crushing the unfortunate man
down into the shallow water. His voice
could be heard calling in the most sup
plicating tones for help, and as soon as
it was ascertained that the man was not
killed, hundreds of men set to work to
clear out the debris. A windlass was put
in position. and, IS soon as one man
tired, another jumped to ell his place.
Darkness hindered the progress of the
work somewhat, but lanterns were sup
piled, and the task of excavating went
on until the end of six hours, when the
bucket in which he went down was struck,
and underneath this was Norbeigh. The
bucket was raised and Norbeigh was
found jammed into a sitting posture,
and wedged up against one side of the
wall by large, heavy stones, which pressed

" injured. His rescuers had him un.
covered nearly to the shoulders, when
they discovered that half of the wall
which they failed to take down was
showing indications of caying in. Still
they worked to excavate the man, but
before they had succeeded the wall fell
and again buried him. His voice could
still be heard crying for help, and the
excitement about the place, where the
entire city was gathered, was intense
After remaining eighteen hours beneath
the debris he was again reached. When
the earth and stone were taken from bis
head for the last time he seemed to be
unconscious of the fact that he had pass.
ed the night below the earth, and asked
what time it was. After his removal
from the well he talked quite freely
though an examination of the body re-
vealed the fact that the circulation Of
the blood in the lower extremities had
almost wholly stopped.
