Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1873-07-31

We beg leave most respectfully to
protest against Andrew Clark, of Castle
ton, being posted through the papers as
having been arrested in Rutland and
fined for drunkenness. Our Andrew
Clark is no such rum-fellow as that 1t
was Andrew Clark, of Hydeville. We
have four Andrew Clarks in this part of
the county; two of them are cold water
men and the other two are Hydevillers,
who are often on a bender as was the
one at Rutland. The authorities served
him right.
Last Wednesday was benefit day
for Bishop at the ferry on Lake Bono
seen, as between two and three hundred
gathered there on a pleasure excursion
from Rutland, Fairhaven, Castleton and
other towns. 1t was then and there
that one David Oney, of Rutland, put
in his appearance, as described in the
HERALD. Soon after his doings were
most miserable and his sayings were
more so. Such profanity was never ut
tered by mortal man as proceeded from
his rum-stained lips. He should have
been dealt with to the extent of the law
for the use of such obscene and profane
language. As it was, our magistrates
emptied his purse for the crime of
beastly intoXication
The Sanford House appears to be
filling up with summer boarders from
abroad The house is now favored with
guests from Massachusetts, New York
and Michigan, and more are expected
from other States. Among the arrivals
last week were G. L. Ford, M. D., and
wife. He held the chair of professor of
Anatomy twelve or fifteen years in the
Castleton Medical College. The Doctor
now occupies the chair of Anatomy in
the Medical Department of the Universe
ty at Ann Arbor, Michigan.
This house is the headquarters of the
new daily mail and stage route from here
through HubardtOwn, and Sudbury to
Leicester junction.
"A young merchant in Burlington,
in this State, native of CastletOn, has
recently contributed five hundred dollars
towardsswiping out the eight thousand
dollar seminary debt. The letters of
his name are G. E. J.
The new, richly furnished and well
ordered residence of DR.. j. Sanford, on
Seminary street, was opened last We'd
nesday evening, for the reception of the
Corban Society. The meeting was I'M
usually social and profitable, as the do
majors were quite generous. The Doctor
and his estimable wife did all on their
part to render the occasion an enjoyable
one.
Rev. Cushman Flagg, oldest son of
the late A. w Flagg, officiated at the

now we see through a glass darkly, but
then face to face" He was listened to
hv hearers from Missouri, Massachusetts,
New York, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois and Vermont. He is pastor of a
church at North Adams, Mass, and is a
young preacher of fair promise.

On the 23d inst, at Mr.. Rangers
Steam Mills, in this town, young Otis
Flanders from Pittstield, was reaching
to clean the waste splinters from under
the edging machine when the cdging
saw caught the back side of his head
and during his rising motion produced a
wound ten inches in length, extending
forehead to one eve. The saw cut
through the skull and injured the brain
most of the distance. but consciousness
was not destroyed so but that he recog-
niZed his friends: yet at times he is
somewhat deliriOus and thinks he must
go to his work when the whistle blows
On this account the blowing of the
whistle has been suspended DR. Cook
attends the patient and he says he is do
ing well, and he thinks his chances are
favorable for recovery.
1t is reported that this young man has
repeatedly had his hat slit into, by
this same saw while cleaning beneath it.
1t is a query why men of business cali
Der viii persist in the sacrifice of hats,
scalps, skulls and brains, when a mere
trife, say the price of one hat, will pay
for ''loOse pulley which, properly
arranged, would enable the worker of
the machine to avoid the risk of saving
his head open.
The hay crop is coming in beyond
all expectatiOns-better than last year.
Some of our farmers were harvest
ing their oats on the gath inst. Plenty
ripe enough.
Cherry trees are numerous and hang
full. T.
