A PLUCKY WoMAN.-A daring at
tempt at burglary in Fredonia, N. Y,
the other night, was defeated by the &C.
ton of a courageous woman. The resi-
dence of Orson Stiles was the scene of
the attempt, and the contents of the
safe, in which the valuables of the fami-
ly were kept, the object. Mrs. Stiles was
alone in the house, that night, and late
in the evening she heard an unusual noise
in the room where the safe was located.
Aiming herself with loaded revolver,
she quietly crept to the door of the room,
which was left ajar, and looking in saw
a man at work at the safe. At the same
instant the man turned, and seeing Mrs.
Stiles, picked up a billet of iron and
started for her. 1t was time for ac-
ton, and Mrs. Stiles raised the revolver
and fired. and the man got the contents
in the right arm or side. As he dropped
the weapon the arm fell lifeless by his
side. Flight was his only chance now,
and as he turned to leave the room by
another door Mrs. Stiles fired again,
which had the effect of quickening his
pace, if it did not hit him. As he went
out of the door into the open air, Mrs.
Stiles sent another messenger after him,
and, as no mark of bullets can be found
in the house, it is but fair to presume
that he got at least two in his carcass.
But the man escaped, and nothing has
been seen or heard of him since. The
neighbors we're aroused, and, going to
the barn, Mr.. Stiles's horse was found
saddled and ready for journey, and
the floor of the baru Uttered with straw
to deaden any sound that might attract
attention.

One of the hardest losses by the
Scranton failure was that of Stoning-
ton farmer, who had sold his farm and
goods and deposited the proceeds-his
entire property, S8000-with the bank
only a few hours before the failure. He
was about to move West, and the failure
forces him to begin life anew.

shocking Disaster at Middletown.
SIX PERSONS KILLED.

GiA iLhoOENo hAAAsf-b'
A new building called Shephard's
Block, at Middletown, CT, not yet com
pleted, fell with a terrible crash on We'd
nesday afternoon of last week, burying
some twenty persons who were at work
inside the building at the time, SIX OF
whom were killed. 1t appears that the
block was being built in a very cheap
and snowy manner, the work having
been begun last fall, and upon no proper

verely censure the contractors and
builders for the careless manner in which
hey had done their work, the chief fault
being the foundation.

The Atlantic Calamity.

Among the passengers lost on the i'll
fated Atlantic, were Cyrus M. Fisher
and wife, formerly of Vergennes. Mr..
Fisher was for some years promising
lawyer in Vergennes, being law part
ner of Hon. F. E. Woodbridge. He
has resided in London for several years
past. His wife was a sister of Gen.
Ripley and Mrs. Julia G. r. Dorr of
Rutland. Regarding the last moments
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher, Mr.. S. w. Wick,
himself cabin passenger, says:
That after he had reached the deck
and, to use his own words, was endeav-
oring to make the best effort to save my
life, as | looked down the cabin stair
way, saw Mr. Fisher and his wife max
ing for the upper deck; the water was
then filling up the state-room on both
sides, and it seemed impossible for any
human being below to escape death !;
Mrs. Fisher called upon her husband to
save himself, but he refused unless she
was also saved; and thus both of them
lost precious time-she paralyzed with
fear and almost frozen, he too faithful
to leave her to perish and satisfied TO die
with her a moment ended that, for an
immense wave dashed over the bulwarks
and the two disappeared from sight for
ever; this wave too ended the sufferings
of those below, for when it had passed
away scarcely sound could be heard
either in the cabin or steerage." Among
the many sad and touching scenes con-
nected with their loss, related by the sur
viving cabin passengers, who have
reached Boston and New York, is this
one:
"Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus NJ. Fisher, of
Vergennes, Vermont, who were among
the lost, were general favorites with the
passengers. They escaped from the
state-room to the deck, and thence to
the rigging, the husband bravely pro-
tecting his wife as best he could. As
the excitement increased, and the vessel
was going down, the boats were upset
and unfit for use, and the chance of es-
cape grew less hopeful with every pass
ing moment, Mrs. Fisher besought her
husband to leave her and save himself
with tears in her eyes she begged him to
get into one of the boats, but he would
not. The crowding of men and women
into the rigging, the numbing of their
limbs by the cold, and the exhaustion
consequent upon the frequent sweeping
over them of the waves, proved too much
for both husband and wife. The latter
was the first to give up, and, despite her
husbands exertions, she was swept into
the sea. Powerless in limb and despair
ing in heart, the husband retained his
place few moments only, yielding tc
the force of huge wave that came
crushing along with resistless force, and
falling into the water within few feet
of the place where his wife disappeared.

3d-Because it will lay npel. to cul-

4th-Because it will improve the
land, by keeping the stock OFF the
woodland and giving more time for
making manure and redeening waste
land.
5th-Because it will improve the
stock. For the owner will keep his
own stock instead of his peighbOr's.
Gth--Because it will increase the
value of labor. For the employer can
afford to pay the laborer higher wages
for composing than for keeping mp
unnecessary fences.
7th-Because it will make the poor
