sion and reign.

conversion and sanctifcation of the

with the eternal blessedness of the
righteous and the eternal punishment of
the wicked.
8. The divine institution of the Chris
tian ministry, and the obligation and
perpetuity of the ordinances of baptism

BRISTOL.

Geo. II. Bartlett & Bro. have placed
a derrick by the side of the wheel-pit
that was under the foundry so recently
burned, for the purpose Of raising ma
terial out of the pit. In the latter place
were number of laborers. While rails
ing heavy piece of timber from the
pit one of the supports to the derrick
broke, thereby leaving an immense pres
sure on the other two, which, in their
turn each gave away. The derrick fell
into the pit, breaking the shaft. The
men hearing the noise jumped back, and
barely escaped with their lives. A mo-
ment later and they wuold have been
crushed to atoms.
The citizens of this village are talk
ing means for better protection against

BACHELLER MANUFACTURING CoMPA-
NY.-The real estate and machinery be-
longing to the Bachelor Manufacturing
Company, at Wallingford, were sold on
Thursday, October I'd. by L. Dawley,
auctioneer. This property was pur-
chased by F. A. Fisher, as agent for Ju-
Illus r. Pomeroy, of New York, for the
sum OF one dollar over the mortgage and
interest, amounting to nearly thirty
thousand dollars. This establishment
with its valuable machinery anu sur
ronndings, is in perfect repair, having
been operated only about two years, and
originally costing one hundred thousand
dollars. The large stock of forks, weed
ers, hoes, and other agricultural nipple
ments, ready for shipment, and guam
tity OF material in process of manufac-
ture, were not sold, as advertised from
which We infer that the purchasers pro-
pose to reorganize the concern and con-
tinue the manufacture of forks and 9th
er farming tools, upon a new basis.

Fire i'm Rutland.
THE FOUNDRY OF MANSFIELD & sTIMsON
PARTIALLY CONSUMED.


PARTIALLY CONSUMED.
Washington engine company No. 2,
who volunteered to go to the assistance
of Brandon on Saturday night, had not
long been home when an alarm sounded
in our town, calling them again, with
the balance of our fire department, to
duty. About four o'clock on Sunday
morning an engine attached to an in
coming freight train began making a
most vigorous whistling, and kept it up
for quite a number of minutes before the
depot whistle took up the alarm. The
fire proved to be in the foundry of Mans
field 81 Sti1nsOn, and the hardness in
sounding the alarm had allowed it to get
sufficient Roadway to endanger the whole
building and contents. The fire depart
ment, however, made sufficient despatch
to counteract the bad effects of the tar
dy alarm, and with two heavy streams,
which were soon bearing on it, the fire
stood poor show, and in short time
succumbed to their superior force and
a liberal supply of aqua para.
The origin of the fire is somewhat
doubtful, but it is supposed that it
caught from a spark which was deposit
ed during the day on the coal dust which
lay thickly on beam in the north end,
and gradually working through finally
communicated with the woodwork.
The building is considerably damaged,
the north side being burnt out entirely,
including the dry-room and the roof,
where the fire ran along until it
caught in the cupola, which it also de-
stroyed. There were good many pat
terms, ETC., destroyed, and the contents,
taken in connection with the building,
will make the less foot up to probably
$4,000, with an insurance of only 1880.
There was an insurance of about $4,000
which the firm allowed to expire only a
few days ago, thinking it too expensive
to carry so much.
Messrs. Mansfield & Stimson assure us
that this fire will not be allowed to in
terfere with their business. The ma
chine shop is intact, and the foundry
will, tomorrow, be in operation again.

SEVERE ACCIDENT. Mr.. Thomas Blk
by of Rutland, an employee of Henry
Hayward, met with a severe accident,
Thursday afternoon. Mr.. Bixby was
driving team when another employee of
Mr. Hayward, who carried a gun, at
tempted to mount the wagon. In so do
ing the gun was discharged, in the usual
" unaccountable way, the contents
striking Mr.. Bixbys right hand and
right leg. Some forty shot passed
through his hand and like number pene-
trated his leg just above the thigh. DR..
Knowlton was Immediately summoned
and the wounds were dressed, but Mr..
Bixby still suffers excruciating pain and
opiates are necessary. Mr. Bixbys
family are mainly dependent for their
support upon his daily labor, and hence
we trust that the sympathy already
by his friends will, of neces-
sity, assume a substantial form.

THE MONUMENT.

The monument itself is sixteen feet in
in hight, and in the most perfect proper
ton. The appropriation of six hundred
dollars was just used up in placing it
where it stands, although the actual costs
was probably more than one thousand
dollars. The marble used in this monu-
ment was from the celebrated light
mourning vein of the Sutherland Falls
Marble Company, and was furnished
much below the regular price in order
that while the appropriation was not ex-
ceeded, the monument should be first
class. The work was done at the Oliver
Marble and Monumental Works
in this village, the workmanship
is very superior, and was done at re-
duced prices to further the patriotic
object in view. The monument is an
honor to the people of the State, and
will stand for ages on the TinmOuth
hill, where it now points towards
heaven, TO mark the appreciation of a
people for the virtue and integrity of the
able man whose fame will last after
marble columns have crumbled into
dust. The inscriptions on the monument
are as follows:

ABSTRACT OF MR.. WILLARD'S REMARKS.
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen.

BROOKLYN REFORM.

The Academy Reform Committee met last night
In the rear OF the Brooklyn Academy OF Music. The
meeting was called to order at halfpast eight
O'Clock at which time there were twenty-one men,
bers present. At nine O'Clock the number was in
creased by two.
Mr.. HARRINGTON offered resolution. setting
forth that inasmuch as charges had been made in
one Of the New York papers of excessive expendi-
lures for opening and grading Streets the Com
mittee on Local improvements and Public Ex-
pendtures be authorized to investigate these mat
ters and report TO the Association.
The resolution was adopted.
Comptroller SCHROEDER read o very careful
synopsis OF the new charter, now in the hands OF
the Governor. 1t showed that there had been an
increase Of expenses by new officers and an In
crease OF salaries to the amount OF $135,6o0, and
that by the adjustment OF the Excise Board and the
reorganization of other departments there was
decrease Of $52,5eo, leaving net Increase Of
Il was moved to adopt the report.
Mr.. HARRINGTON objected to the adoption Of the
charter at the present time, as they did not know
what 1t contained. He understood that the Com
mon Council had been shorn Of much of it's power;
that under this charter they had not even the
power to send for persons and papers,
Mr.. SCHROEDER said that such was not the case,
in reference to this matter. He discovered, how
ever that the very pages containing all referring
to the power Of the Common Council to send ior
persons and papers and swear witnesses were
gone. He stated, however, that he was positive
that this power had not been taken from the Com
mon Council.
Mr.. OswAGE volunteered the information that
changes had been made in the charter in Albany
that It was not the same as had been ratified here
by the committee; yet he thought If they did not
endorse 1t now they would stultify themselves
1t was true they had not done all they wanted to-
but they had done very well, and he hoped they
would adopt 1t.
Mr.. FARRINGToN said he did net think IL would
be very great evil II the Governor did
not sign this charter. 1t certainly con-
tinued the triple-headed commissioners In
office, and there might be worse things happen TO
Brooklyn than the failure OF the Governor to sign
the charter. Resolutions to the effect that IN the
opinion OF the Association the act amending the
charter OF the city OF Brooklyn improved the laws
Of the present city government and the Governor
be requested TO sign the charter, were onered and
adopted.
