SILVER MINE.--Mr. +. Hall is open
ing a silver mine in Groton, about a mile
from Peabody Station, The vein is not
yet wide enough to pay, but Mr.. Hall
thinks as it is continually growing wider,
the further he follows it, that he has got
a good thing. The ore yields about s22
a ton, and it costs about half that to
work IL.

WooDsToCK.-The mill owners on the
river and some others have recently wis.,
tied and examined the reservoir in Ply
mouth, regarding which some have ex-
pressed fears. We believe sentiment is
divided, though the majority incline to
the opinion that the work is sufficiently
strong and enduring. As long as there
is the slightest doubt critical examina-
ton should be made by competent engi-
neers.

Our democratic readers will of course
heed the advertisement of the Burling-
ton Daily Sentinel, the only democratic
daily in the State. We don't propose to
commend their political doctrines but
our democratic friends will no doubt
find them very palatable, and if they
must continue as democrats they will
find the Sentinel just the thing for them.

A NEIGHBoRLY DEED.-The Wood

was sick and unable to Offer any resist
ance, the Changers, to the number of
twenty-five, made their appearance upon
his premises and committed the follow
ing depredstions First, three men with
moving machines and about fifteen with
scythes began cutting his hay and be-
fore Morrell was hardly aware of the
fact they had cut and put into the barn
twenty tons of good hay. The lady
members of the Grange also did their
share by taking possession of the house
and furnishing the workers with a good
Grange dinner, the most of which they
had brought from their own home. And
if one were to judge from appearances
they even enjoyed all this and went
home feeling they had done Gods SER
vice.

SEWING MACHINEs.-CHALLENGE.-
| would be pleased to state to the people
of Bellows Falls and vicinity that we
are stopping at Bellows Falls selling the
new improved Wheeler 81 Wilson
sewing machine. We do not court sew
ing mechine trials and do not consider it
any credit to the merits of the Wheeler
and Wilson sewing machine to have a
trial with the Weed, a machine that we
have beaten so many times at public
trials before, although, will propose
to Mr.. Upham, seeing he has had SO
much to say to our customers in regard
to the Wheeler & Wilson sewing ma
chine, that we meet at some public place
in Bellows Falls, to test the merits of
our machines. The losing party is to
donate the machine to the judges and
they to give it to the most needy lady in
town. In reply to this he will please ad-
dress M. S. BENEDICT,

through window into kitchen, break
ing all the sash and glass within reach ;
one thill was driven straight through the
side of the house into the same room /,
while the other went into the cellar win
dow below; and the team stopped. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Dana were thrown out and
bruised, Mrs. Dana suffering the most,
but neither received serious hurt. The
wagon was smashedand the horse slight
ly injured.
