GRAFToN.-On Tuesday evening, the
I'd. inst, the Ladies of the Congregation
al Society held Festival at the Town
Hall, which Notwithstanding the wealth
err was somewhat inclement, was we'll at
tended. Every requisite for the occasion
had been anticipated and amply provi-
ded for. The tables were furnished in a
manner that would have been pronounced
faultless by the most fastidious epicure.
All present we're social and happy, and
the only regret expressed at parting was
that the hour had arrived, and that sim
liar festivals did not oftener occur.
Mr.. Oliver Davis of Grafton died at
the residence of his son Oren Davis in
Townshend, on Friday, the 9th inst. Mr..
Luke Burnap also died on Sunday morn
ing, the It'll inst. Thus two old and
much respected citizens have passed
away. Both had been for many years
prominent and useful members of the
Congregational church.

of general good feeling and the time
passed rapidly and pleasantly, the older
ones enjoying social chat along with
the knitting, sewing and braiding, while
the younger portion of the company
spent the evening in games, &c. Before
dispensing, the choir, led by Mr.. C. 7.

WALPoLE. We are informed that the
Cheshire county solicitor commenced
prosecutions against the liquor sellers of
Walpole on Monday. We have heard
of no results. but an ominous silence
this week on the part of the Walpole
correspondent of the Keene Sentinel
rather confirms it.
Walpole is reporting some heavy
weights in porkers. w. H. Scovill has
fatted hog which weighed when dressed
$50 lbs. and B. P. Spaulding has fatted
two that weighed respectively 600 and
55S pounds,

JAMAICA.-Some Jamaica items will
be found on fourth page.
A correspondent of the Rutland Her
aid records quite an adventure which
occurred last Friday afternoon. Mr..
Trott and six of his men had a narrow
escape from drowning, while running
logs around Ball mountain. By some
mismanagement, the boat containing the
seven meu was swamped. They chung
to her till about the time she struck a
rock amidship and broke in two, when
Ave of them struck for the shore, three
making for the right bank and two for
the left. The two others foated down
stream awhile, one on part of the
broken boat, the other, Mr.. Trott, at the
mercy of deep and rapid river. The
latter finally found a temporary and not
very enviable resting-place on a sunken
rock, two feet under water. About the
same time. the man from the broken
boat had cast off coat and boots and
plunged in for the left bank, which he
made in safety, as did the FIVE others be-
fore him. Mr.. Trott was not long in
deciding what to do in his perlious con-
dition. To attempt to remain was folly,
for he would doubtless have frozen to
death before he could have been rescued
if some floating timber did not sweep
him off. So his only alternative was to
plunge for the shore, although unable to
swim, and in the midst of the toughest
passageof West river around Ball Noun
tain. The effort was successful, though
exceedingly perilous, and he reached the
left bank in safety. This party had to
walk up the river long distance before
they could recross it, which they finally
did, and arrived III the village during
the evening.

CHESTERFIELD. N. H.-A sad occur
renee took place at Chesterfield Thanks
giving day. The family of Mr. David
L. Stoddard, a worthy citizen, some 90
years of age, had assembled to commem-
crate the annual festive day. Mr.. S.
went to the barn ostensibly for the pur-
pose of milking, in the morning. Not
long after his son-in-law went there and
found Mr.. S., suspended by rope, and
dead. Mental depression is assigned as
the cause for the act. Some 8 years
since, Mr.. S., buried children with
diphtheria, and since that time has
always been more or less gloomy.

WESTMINSTER. Mr.. II. b. Fisher Of
the firm of Fisher and Fairbanks, of
Boston, severely sprained his ankle while
on his way to spend Thanksgiving at
home, combining him TO the house for
some days.
Mr.. Henry F. Bond recently met with
an accident, by which he was severely
wounded in the arm between the elbow
and shoulder, by the accidental dis
charge of a gun. 1t appears that he and
Capt. Alexander Atcherson had started
for Rocking Hill on a hunting ex-
cursion, and met some one while riding
and in turning out and endeavoring to
prevent their sleigh from overturning,
the gun discharged. The charge went
uncomfortably near the Captains head,
but he was not injured.
The adjourned annual meeting of the
Westminster Thief Detecting Society was
held on Monday evening, and the follow
ing officers chosen
President, Sylvester Grout.
Secretary, John Collins.
Treasurer, S. S. Stod lard.
Attorney, r. s. Stafford.
Directors, d. G. Wright, ii. G. Lane,
Robert d. Farr
A list of pursuers was also chosen
which we have not at hand. This soci-
ETY. has been organized for many years,
and it is believed has exerted good and
effective influence.
There was good time at w. r. Kim
balls last Friday night, the occasion be-
ing the meeting with him ofsome fifty of
many of the prominent men and women
of the parish and of the Farmers Club,
and whose welcome upon like occasions
ever stands out 10 bold relief-never no
lack in pains taking to make all JOY,
whose home ever seems so cheerful, sur
roundings so we'll adapted one cannot
we'll help being drawn thither The
discussion was whether the meetings of
the club" should be continued this win
ter. After full discussion by Davis, Will
lard, Sabin, Pierce, Mcneil, Ward, Morse,
Rev. Mr.. Barnard and Mine Host, who
concluded by thanking the assembly for
their presence and as long as there was
single above his head and his worthy
Aunt Dorr, (who keeps his house, was
at the helm, they were always welcome.
The first representatives or members
from Westminster, of the general con-
veutions mentioned in the article on Sec
ond page, entitled "The Early History of
Vermont" were Joshua Webb and Ma
thaniel Robinson, and there are still liv-
ing in Westminster descendants from the
James Clay mentioned in the same arti-
Gle, although he was Putney man.
james Clay, Jr., was son of this man
and he (the SOM is still remembered
and was we'll known by Mr.. Sylvester
Grout some fifty years ago, and anec-
dotes are still related of the family. In
the early days, as all know, the GUS
tom of drinking and treating was unan-
imous, and it was proverbial that no
one ever drove by certain tavern in
Putney. Clay Jr. was driving with a
friend with whom he made bet that
he could drive by that tavern, and
sure enough he did, but had not drove
far before he stopped, turned back and
said, We have fulfilled our agreement
on a good resolution, now let US go back
and treat on it !

- In the office of the st. Johnsbury
CaIedonian is most ingenious specimen
of mechanism. The article referred to
is glass bottle, inside of which is a
round table, very nearly filling the d.
ameter of the bottle. On the table is a
cask made Of slaves, with brass hoops
aud head in each end. In the nose of
the bottle is a wooden stopple, nearly
filling the space, and this is keyed in on
the inside and pinned. The table and
miniature barrel had to be set up inside
the bottle and glued together. This
piece of patient work WAS done by Nat
Annis of Passumpsic, an employee at
the scale works.
Montgomery Village has no grog
shop in its limits. A Boston runner
calls it drier than the Desert of Sahara.
The last man who tried to make living
there by selling whiskey, wound up his
business by paying the State one hun
dred and twenty dollars in fines with
costs, besides boarding with the Sheriff
for few days. He is completely dis
gusted with the business he says he had
to trust out his goods" and couldn't get
enough back to pay for the stock, the
fines took off all the profits, and when he
shook with his customers they would
load the dice against him.

BURGLARY. Towns hotel was broken
into by burglars Wednesday night, but
It is not known that they got much be-
yond good quantity of victuals. They
effected entrance through window of
the pastry room, and pried open several
doors on their way to the office, where
they broke open several valises. Mr..
Lewis Tenney who is steward of the
hotel, came down as usual at about 3
o'clock in the morning, and they were
probably then at work in the office on
large trunk, but doubtless fled on hearing
bis steps on the stairs, into the basement
where they had already broken open a door
for egress. One or two pairs of boots
and little clothing are missing. They
attempted to pry open the clothing room.
Their main instrument for operations
was an ak taken from the hotel wood
shed, which was left ON the large trunk
mentioned. There was nothing scientific
about their operations and they are
probably home or novice burglars. The
valises broken into contained samples of
dry goods, -four and groceries that they
did not find es ,ecialIy desirable.

"Keep to the right" may obviate the

it necessary. Vehicles driven to the
