S. F.. Cowles Of this place has got up
one of the greatest improvements of the
age in the form of a patent milk pan.
1t is said by good judges to be far su-
perior to anything of the kind yet laid
before the public, and dairymen who
wish to put in large pans will do well to
call and examine these pans before pur-
chasing elsewhere.
CRAFTSBURY.
There is quite life insurance fever
raging in town. Many are insuring for
sums ranging from $1,000 to $4,000.
The "Tontine Investment Policy" is the
taking bait. Small investments and
great returns if you can only die.
The friends of the Rev. E. P Wild
met him at the Academy Hall on the
evening of the 18th inst, and had every
thing necessary to make the occasion a

and speaking and poemio on s'Progress,
by Mr.. Wild, made it one of unusual
interest. Total receipts, $40.
We had an arbitration on the 18th

wagon while returning from the Orleans
County Fair last fall. Arbitrators,
-Wyram Wylie, of Craftsbury and
Chester Hyde of Albany. Verdict for
Hoyt,s24.5O, damages and costs.
Immediately after Henry Turner was
liberated from the Orleans county Jail,
on Saturday, the 9Th inst, he came di-
rect to Craftsbury, where he arrived late
at night, and left early Sabbath morning,
probably feeling as though the atmos-
phere of Craftsbury-where the circum-
stances attending his crime was well
known-would be likely to be a little
unhealthy, and he left for more con-
genial cline. Though hand join with
hand the wicked shall not go unpunish.

! The Steam Mill Co. at the bend
met with very serious loss in the bur
ing of their mill on Tuesday night al
n Wednesday morning, though not SO S
rious as to make failure of the ente
prise. 1t is not only a loss to the col
= pany, but to the town and community
large, and to about twenty men W
were thrown out of employ. The bull
e ing proper was a total loss, but the e
u CINE, boiler and engine-house were L
Il much damaged, and probably some
the shafting can be repaired and us
g again. No satisfactory conclusion c
r. be arrived at, as to the origin of t
he fire. Some attribute it to incendiari
