West Rutland Notes.

Two men in one of the quraries, who had
some previous cause for contention, quar-
relied on Saturday. They stood, at the
time, on the shelving side of the quarry,
and grasping. with blind and I'M
governable fury, fell some distance into

standing near, and thus saved from sure
death, by fall forty feet into the quarry
beneath. Each had secured stones with
which they belabored each other, and one,
setting his teeth into the neck of his an
tagonist, lacerated it in fearful manner.

which the earnest condemnation of all par

these their clients will go to them and

Hon, Erastus Brooks was introduced and
addressed the nesting at great length,
showing by official records balance over
ninty -one million dollaes in our favor while
trading with Canada and other British col
ones during the twelve years of the treaty,
and the exports of manufactures to these
colonies was greater than to dozen coun-
tries on this continent and in Europe. One
tobacco firm in this city used to sell two
million dollars worth annually to Canada
during the treaty, but has done compare
lively nothing since 1866.

proposed renewal and resolutions calling
on the senate to favor it were passed unan-
