Ludlow,

The levce and sugar party held at Ham,
mond Hall on the evening of April god,
for the benefit of the "Altimont cornet
band" was as successful, all things con-
sidercd, as could have been expected.
Could it have been, held earlier IN the
season, before almost every other enterprise
haC received public "beneft," there can
be but little doubt the receipts would have
been materially enhanced. But considering
the somewhat unfavorablc circumstances
under which it was held, it is understood
the band are entirely satisfied. The
occasion was enlivened by quartette sing
ing, playing by the band, for whose benefit
the levee was held, and variety of
ancient airs, performed on Anticipated in
strumcnts by "Uncle JOEL" of musical re-
nown in times long since passed away.
The supper was all that could have been
desired. The supply Of maple sugar be-
ing very suggestive of the large amount
produced the present season. Good taste
was shown in arranging and identifying

placed upon each, for this appropriate
and attractive feature, so-much admired by
every one. The company were under
special obligations to A. A. Baldwin of
Ludlow and Mrs. Will Raymond Of
Bridgewater, who placed their respective
greenhouses under contribution for the
occasion.
The farce, entitled "Romance under diff
ficulties." would haye given better satisfac-
ton had the text been more thoroughly
committed by those having parts; it is very
probable, however, that the limited time
afforded for preparation is sufficient rea-
son for any imperfection noticeable in its
presentation before the public. Holden's

A Huge Joke.

Two commercial travellers, the initials
of whose names were G., s. LOOMS and r.
G. Bromley, left Burlington Friday after
noon on conductor Boutel's train. Soon
after starting they began to banter the con-
ductor on the slowness of motion taken
by the train, making many remarks con-
corning their ability to walk faster than it
went, and that they could run away from
it, etc, After leaving Shelburn one chal-
lenged the other to get off with him and
go around the train, thus proving their
powers of locomotion in competition with
the engine. The challenge was accepted
and they alighted at the rear end. They
ran round to the front, passing through the
train on their way back, and continued the
operation several times, much to the amuse-
ment of all lockers on. At last the train
pitched over the grade and began to pro-
coed much faster This they perceived,
and at once endeavored to get aboard,
LOOMS succeeded, and on entering endeav-
ored to stop the cars, for his friend to join

DIR. Livingstone on the African Slave
Question.

New York, April %.
A remarkable letter from DR.. Living
stone to the editor of the Herald, received
through the English Foreign office, is pub
lished here to-day. The horror of the
slave trade in central Africa is the subject
of this letter, ms it was the theme which
chiefly occupied his thoughts. Throughout
the letter the keenness with which he
refers to men and things and events in
England and America, serves to show that
he continued to think of home and progress
at home, though he felt compelled to serve
humanity in a distant land.
DR.. Livingstone, though weak of body
as he evidently must have been, was very
cheerful in mind when he penned this let
ter lie relates with zest the story of the
poor Englishman who learned African
speculation from books of travel and found
his snuff boxes with the looking glasses in
them drug in the market OF the ignorant
heather. lie paid Il graceful tribute to the
industry and intelligence of the African
women. The terrible life of the Arabs
and the harems of the slave traders also
come in for their share of description, and
thus we only begin to understand why the
slave trade of central Africa was so terri
bic in the eyes of civilization.

Attempted Murder at Bellows Fails.

John WIlmoth, who has charge of L.
W. Bancrofts premises on the Terrace,
Bellows Falls, was shot, while in the barn,
at about nine o'clock, Wednesday evening.
The ball passing through the rim of his hat
and through the lower part of his ear, en-
tering his neck about two inches below his
ear and came out two or three inches from
the place it entered. The motive is vet
unknown, but it is generally supposed it
was robbery, as Wilmoth had sold some
cattle that day and had the money on his
person at the time. Wilmoth was not so
seriously injured as to deprive him of the
use of his limbs, which he made good use
of and reached his home, short distance
from the barn. DR.. F. Whitman was
called and dressed the wound, and does not
regard it dangerous, although slight varia-
ton of the ball would have proved fatal

BY TELEGRAPH.


ST. ALDANs, April 90.
About 12 o'clock last night, an unknown
man went to the residence of Dr. John
Branch, who resides just north Of this vii
lage on the Swanton road. and called him
out, requesting him at once to go to a Mr..
Jewett's to visit sick man. The doctor
dressed himself and went with the man TO
his barn to get up his team. He had har-
messed his horse and was coming out of the
barn when the man made an attack on him
with club, knocking him down and beat
him in a shocking manner, after which he
took TO his heels.
DIR. Branch describes his assalant as a
young man, about twenty years of age,
dressed in gray suit with black hat or
cap, and has offered Il reward of 81 900
for his apprehension. No reason can be
assigned for the dastardly outrage.

men employed joined the association. Mr..
King resisted and the large assemblagc ulti-

A Serious Accident.

A serious accident occurred on the Ben
nington & Glastonbury railroad Saturday
morning, by which Miss Annie Aldrich, OF
Woodford, received broken limb,
Miss Nettie Eddy was injured about
the head and spine, Miss Rhoda
McLenithan injured about the head
and shoulder, and Miss Eliza Bugbec in
jured in the back. The train, which was
an unusually heavy one to draw up the
steep grade, got started, and the engineer
backed to get fresh start. The con-
ductor and some of the passengers thought
that a coupling had broken, and knowing
that if such was the case the train could
not keep the track, as they would run SO
swift, jumped from the passenger car and
told the rest to follow, which they did, with
the results above mentioned The injured
ones were taken to adjoining houses and
medical aid summoned. Their injuries arc
not considered serious.

ever, did not connect with the, engine.
Bromley attempted to board the train while
going at good rate of speed and missed
his footing, the impetus throwing him
down, and he rolled over down the bank,
his hat going one way and his cigar another,
and the train sped on. The unfortunate
youth picked himself up, walked some four
miles to Charlotte station, where he tele-
graphed to the conductor to leave his bag
gage at Vergennes. Experience is oftcntimes
severe, but ARRAYS sure teacher.
