On Thursday afternoon, of last week, n
twin child, about three years old, of Thos.
buckleys fell backward INTO pail Of
scaldng water and was badly uincd. The
child at last accounts was doing well.
On the same day Byron Fleming, one of
the village truckman, was about the depot
loading some heavy boxes of goods, one of
the boxes got the advantage of him and fell
upon one of his legs and nearly broke it,
bruising the flesh badly, still he is about
making it do service.
The clerk in the drug store, who shot a
pistol at man who was outside the store,
in ''sclf defense is out Of town. it is SUD-
posed, as the "by authority seem to be
unable to find him. Pointing a pistol at a
man and firing it off produces q kind of
nervous uncertainty until the man to whom
ii was pointed finds that it has not made a
hole in him. 1t is not supposed that the
clerk aforesaid intended to kill the night
caller, but the practice of firing pistols at
men who give their names on the outside
of the door, should not be tolerated.
The roads are drying upand settling fast
Everything indicates that spring is soon to

about the weather. The winds are high

but at the expiration OF this engagement a
new church was organized and he remained
its pastor for eight years. In 1887 he re-
signed his pastoratc and sailed for Europe.
In both Paris and London he was urged to
remain aud take charge of churches, but
having been appointed secretary of the
Foreign Evangelical society, he returned in
1888. This office required him to present to
American Protcstants the claim of Catholic
countries on Their missionary zeal In June,
lS42, he accepted call 10 become pastor
OF new Congregational church in Boston,
known as Mount Vernon church, and from
that time TO the day of his death he was its
senior pastor. In 1916 he visited Europe

lent enterprises. He was chaplain of the
Senate few years ago, and
has been one OF the most popular preachers
connected with the Congregational denomi-

was profound scholar, an original thinker

past he has been suffering from an affec-
ton of the eyes, causing an almost total
blindness, but of late that has been in

The Industries OF Fairhaven
SIMEON ALIENS SLATE MILL,

For many years the name of Fairhaven
has been known the country over through
Its slate and marble works, and of the two
the slate business has gained and increased
until large proportion of the capital of
the town Is invested in that business. and
the fame of the slate now procured and
manufactured into different kinds of house.
hold fixtures in that town has even ex-
tended to Europe, and last year over $50
tons of roofing slate were exported to
England from Fairhaven. Among those
who are quite extensively engaged in the
manufacture of articles from slate Is Simeon
Allen, who yearly manufactures large num-
bers of billiard bed tops, NANTES, counter
tops, tiles, "for flooring, blackboards etc.
MIR. Allen started in this business In 1866,
and erected the building in which he is
still situated, it being near to the railroad
depot, its size being 1O0x5O feet, built of
wood and two Stories in heighth, with
large basement.
The machinery in the mill is all of the
best pattern and make. Among it being
four straight saws, one mantle saw. three
planers, "a rubbing wheel of cast iron 10 feet
in diameter and weighing five ton. on which
all the goods made are smoothed, ard here
Is also seen tile edger, for edging the cor
ncrs of the tile ready for laying. The
power used is water power, there being
n,t.i,. .n,, In, l..
which is kept in motion by five-eighths
iron rope which passes over it and connects
with the water wheel ofthe Vermont Union
Slate company, distance about 400 feet
from the building. The mill is also prov-
ded with Hoadley steam engine of So
horse power which Is used in case of a
scarcity of water, or any other unforeseen
disaster, and in case of fire the mill is well
supplied with force pumps, and hose
enough to reach to any part of the build
ing.
In the manufacture of the goods made
by him, Mr.. Allen gives employment to
forty men, the pay for the same amount
ing on an average to $4,000 per month,
and the business will reach the sum of
about $7O,O 900 per year.
The slate used at the works is mostly
procured from the Scotch hill ouarres. be.
ing of fine purple color and considered
the best for their purpose
In addition to the articles mentioned
above, large quantities of lamp bottoms
are made at these works, the last years pro-
duclion being ever 10000, which were
sent to New York, Boston, Chicago, Bal
timorc aud Philadelphia, the same cities
being the chief markets for the other pro
auctions, except billiard tops. Last year
the number OF sets made here exceeded
l'0OO, and as an illustration of the way his
goods are rated in the market, we will only
say that he supplies the beds for all the
celebrated Phelan & Collcndcr billiard
tables made.
The proprietor is still young man, In
the prime of life, is well known through
out this county as being reliable business
man, is considered by his townsmen one of
their best citizens, and one who is con-
tinually on the alert to look for the best
interests of the village, and all who know
him will be glad to hear of his continued
prosperity and good welfare

WEST TRoJANs IN THE CATTLE BUSINESS IN
OREGON.
Rolin p. and Homer p. SAKE, sons Of
Peter SAKE, formerly lumber dealers in
West Troy, have advertised IN the Red
Rock Democrat Baker city, Oregon, that
they will be at Umatilla and Walla Walla
on the opening of navigation in the Column
ba river, with large stock Of blooded
cattle and sheep imported from Kentucky.
The Red Rock Democrdt says. Sake Bros
came highly recommended by Gov. Gro
yer, Secretary of State Chadwick, and
other well-known citizens. They are
practical, energetic young men, having
capital and reputation, and their success in
selling over 2,400 heads of thorough bred
cattle and sheep in the past three years,
makes them the largest dealers in bloodcd
stock III the United States. and we are
glad they are turning their attention to
our part Of the State.
TIE FIRST LINE OF STAGES IN TIE UNITED
STATES.
The first line of stages in the United
States was established soon after the close
Of the Revolutionary war by Captain Levi
Pease, of Boston, and Mr.. Evans of the
Indian Queen Hotel in Baltimore, and ex-
tended from Boston to Savannah. They
were long bodied carriages on very low
springs, having five seats and no doors.
and were entered by crawling in at the
front, upon your hands and knees. and pro-
ceedng in that way until you reached the
scat you were expected to occupy. The
celebrated Freedman, Brissot dc Warville
who aflerward suffered under the guilo-
tine, made a tour of the United States in
1857. Speaking of these carriages he said,
''they were admirably calculated for the
country in which they were made use of"
as If a better and more convenient kind
could not have been used. They WERE at
least MS pleasant as the public conveyances
of France at that time and for many years
after. Handsome and convenient diligen-
cies did not find their way into France to
any extent until after the battle of Water
loo, wheA the French began to adopt Eng
lsh fashions.

knew where, after death. all that was
mortal of him must repose. For the past
year he had worked long, earnestly and
persistently TO have that resting place of
the dead properly guarded and protected.
As last resort, he appealed to the courts.
He felt assured that jury of his country.
men would care for such sacred spot,
even If his fellow-citizens did not. When
he had accomplished all that 1t was pos
sible for mortal man to do, he quietly gave
up the ghost and was laid away among his
klnsmen, townsmen and friends. Monday,
that court and jury, upon whom ko relied,
provided that his last resting place should
be properly cared for. 1t was fitting act,
the connecting link, and his life and death,
with the verdict referred to, will indisso-
lubly mite his name with thu reminis
cences of the Rutland county court, as,
also, with those Of West street cemetery.
