Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1873-02-17

Last Monday night, between the hours
ten and eleven, an engine came up the
Passumpsic and stopped upon the track
near the depot. The steam from the
smoke-stack went straight up, and the
light from the bull's-cye cast upon the
same a lurid glare, making everything
in the vicinity-to one at distance
seem all on fire. Somebody's son, who
is neither ''early to bed nor 'early to
rise" caught sight of this, and immedi-
ately sent forth the frightful cry of
FIRE p which alarm went from house
to house until the "upper end" was we'll
awake and pretty much excited. One
woman came hurriedly down a pair of
stairs head foremost with lamp in one |
hand and petticoat in the other, crying
"WHERE?" The engineer also started
out to see 'where," and meeting some
one, an explanation followed which sent
all hands back to their beds, where it is
supposed they covered up their heads
and slept all the sounder for having had
little scare.
The lecture at the Methodist church
on Friday evening fully met the expec-
tations of the large audience that met to
hear Rev. j. w. Malcolm on I'm Tub
and How to Get out of it. The title of
the lecture poorly suggests the character
of the subject. No one. however, who
listened to the speaker, was at a loss to
know what the tub" had to do with the
theme, or whether he was of that class
described as being bound in by the hoops
and slaves of the common customs and
prejudices of the world. The speaker
intimated that great portion of man.
kind was contented to remain forever in
the common walks Of life, and to believe
chat the visual line that GRIT them round
: the worlds extreme. He said many
have neither the courage nor the aspira-
ton to do more or to do better than their
fathers have done, and that others, not
t satisfied with dwarfng themselves, strive
to quench and destroy every ambition or
e aspiration that finds home in the soul
e of another. But we cannot describe the
lecture. The style of the speaker is
