CARING FOR PAssENGER.-A we'll known
Pbiladelphian went to Pittsburg q few days
ago, and when he entered the sleeping car the
thought struck him that he might get to walk
ing about during the night while asleep, as he
was something of somnambulist, and walk
off the platform into better world. So he
went to the brakeman and gave him dollar
with strict instructions that if he saw him
walking around the car in his sleep, to seize
him and force him back at all hazards
Then the Philadelphia turned in and soon
his reverberating snore echoed the screech OF
the locomotive. About two o'clock Loomis
awoke, and as the air Of the car seemed stiff
ling, he determined to go on the platform for a
fresh breath or two. Just as he got to the door
the brakeman saw him, grasped him, and held
him down. When the Philadelphia recover
ed his breath he Indignantly exclaime ed, "What
do you mean? Let me up, tell you am as
wide awake as you are" But the brakeman
put another knee to his breast, and insisted that

er brakeman, and after terrific struggle, dur
ing which the unfortunate received bumps and
blows innumerable, the railroad man jammed
him into birth, put trunk and eight carpet

A Fox TALE.-A quaint Scotch minister was
given somewhat to exaggeration in the pulpit.
His clerk reminded him of its ill-effects upon
the congregation. He replied that he was not
aware of it, and wished the clerk the next time
he did it to give cough by way of hint:
Soon after he was describing Simpsons ty-

PLYMOUTH On Friday q inst.
George Morse while at work in the shop
of John w. Pierce, sawed off the thumb
on his left hand, at the root of the nail.
Last week the father of Stillman
Fletcher Zone of the editors of the New
England Farmer, aged 80 years, resid-
ing at "Hale Hollow" in Plymouth,
walked from his residence to the Five
Corners" distance of over two miles,
to visit his fellow townsman, Esquire
Slack, who is nearly 100 years old.
These old boys are both in pretty good
health, and are said to have mutually
enjoyed the visit much.

LOST AND FoUND.-On Saturday,
Goth, ult., little daughter, three years
old, of Mr. Aldrich who lives on the
Jed Huntington farm, in Norwich, un-
dertook 10 go alone to her father who
was in the field blowing, but lost her way
and did not reach him. He returned
from his work without having seen her.
An alarm was raised and search was
made for her until eight o'clock Sunday
morning, when she was found asleep, in
A. w. Johnson's pasture. When asked
where she was going she said "to find
Papa"

SAD CASE The Rutland Globe re-
cords sad case in that place of the con-
duct of Mrs. Gould toward her child
affected with st Vitus Dance. The po-
lice visited her rooms on Saturday and
found the door locked, and mother alb
sent. They soon effected an entrance
and found every thing in filthy and
miserable condition. The little girl,
some ten or twelve years old occupied a
bed in a small room. The child at first
was alarmed, but on being assured that
no harm would come to her, she was
somewhat communicative. She said her
mother went out to work during the day,
leaving her alone and locking the door,
The girl is seriously affected with the
st. Vitus dance and is otherwise diseased,
and so Ill as scarcely to be able to move
herself in bed. Weak and i'll she moaned
during the absence of the mother so that
it not only disturbed the occupants of the
adjoining rooms but excited their pity
and sympathy. The child is so weak as
to need careful attention, and the case
has been reported to the proper authori-
ties for their action, that the child may
have proper and needed attention.

WINDHAM.-G Geo. w. Dimick has
made about 1000 pounds of sugar this
season from 1900 trees, or little over
one half the number on his farm fit for
use, and it is a very pleasant sight to
look at his 100 tubs of 80 lbs. each, all
filled with nice white sugar, besides piles
of caked sugar, and molasses kits. Every
pound of this sugar has been boiled from
the syrup by Mrs. Dimick herself, on
two large stoves fitted up in the house
kitchen for that purpose. Her husband
(and sometimes he has a man and boy
with him) gathers the sap and boils it in
the sugar-house in the woods, and draws
it by one-horse sled to the homestead
and passes it over to Mrs. D., and the
next thing that is seen of it we find it
filling tubs In the manner herein indicat-
ed. Mr.. Dimick is an enterprising far
mer and of late years has greatly enlarged
and improved his sugaring facilities.
Mr.. Wilder Moore, who died the past
winter, was sexton continuously for over
60 years. Residing all this time short
distance from the grave yard, he had
learned to look upon the field as his own.
His memory was such that he knew all
the graves, whether marked by any
monument or not He admired plain,
reasonably expensive maidstone, but
had a great horror of tall, tapering
monuments, that had begun to invade
the precincts of his dominion just before
he passed away.
Hon. VIM. Harris, Jr., has held the
Office of selectman continuously since
1S4S.
Mr.. Friedrich Mack has recently re-
ceived an appointment to $500 clerk
ship in one of the departments at Wash
ington. Capt. Gould, one of the first to
enter Petersburg, in the late war, at the
head of his company in the leaden fire
that met him, is also at Washington,
having been remembered by the govern
ment for his honorable wounds received,
and for valuable service rendered in
crushing out the rebellion.

WESTMINSTER. Mrs. j. S. Hunt com
mitted suicide by drowning in the river
ON Monday forenoon, She was missed
at about nine, when search was made,
and she was traced to the river where
she left her hat and shawl. She has for
some years been subject to occasional at
tacks of insanity and no doubt this was
the cause of the act, and the burial of
her husband the past winter may have
had an additional effect upon her mind
Mr.. Hunt who resided in Bellows Falls
last year died last December, and the
family removed to Westminster this
spring. Mrs. Hunt was about 40 years
Of age. The river has been dragged for
the body, but it had not been found up
to Wednesday morning.
A fire was discovered in the house of
George w. Newcomb, (recently De
Wolf's) on Friday evening of last week,
in a bed room. 1t was extinguished be-
fore doing much damage.
The concert given by Miss Gibson and
assistants on Friday evening, was re-
ceived with favor.
The real estate and personal prop
erty of the late Stillman French will be
sold at auction, on Tuesday, May q,
1873, of which more particulars will be
given in our advertising columns next
week.
We learn the river will again be drag
ged to-day, Thursday, to find the body
of Mrs. Hunt, but the water is so high
the chances of finding it are very doubt
full.

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH.-R Rob-
ert Cox, of Monkton, aged 60 years.
died May 9th, after an illness of two
weeks. The first symptom was a prick.
ing in his throat, like that of thistle.
1t soon commenced swelling, and panied
him severely. This continued for two
days, and at the same time he sank rap
idly. After this he was comparatively
easy until he died. The case is consid-
cred quite unusual.
