Major Lyman commanding the escort to
the supply train was attacked by from
300 to 400 Indians on the morning of the
9th inst. The Indians charged the train
several times and made every effort to
capture it, fighting so dcterminedly as to
dctain 1t for the days. The fight was
very close and the train was completely
surrounded. On the third day the Indians
abandoned the attack, retreating south
west. From all information can get here

Plains, and they were believed TO have
been led by Satanic and Big Tree.

cavalry were obliged to swim their horses
on returning. The march back was even
more exhausting than the advance, even
with the Indians in our front. Owing to
terrible and continuous rains which flooded
the streams and made the roads almost I'M
passable, from which facts as well as be-
cause but half rations of forage were fur

cows getting on to the track just when
trains are due. Yesterday afternoon be-
tween North Dorset and Dandy, the pas
sengers on The Montreal express were sur
prlsed by the sudden stopping of the train.
Visions Of an accident or some other dis
aster flashed before their minds and i'm
mcdiately nearly every window was up,
out of which heads protruded and the
platforms of the cars were full OF those
wishing TO see what the trouble was. IL
proved to be nothing worse than three
COWS and two sheep on the track who acted
as il they were bound not to leave it. The
fireman and a brakeman finally prevailed
upon them to leave and the tram proceeded
ON its way.

harvest, at time when nature will have
donned her most brilliant attire, when all
the cattle upon the hills are the latest, and
everybody the happiest.
The handbills and posters are out.
Among the attractions are march of the
Wallingford fire company, and a pay
arrayed of invincbles the first day, An

ter the last day.
The East Wallingford cornet band will
be in attendance both days.
There will be trials of working horses,
working cattle, ETC., etc.

originator of these fairs and who the peo-
pie well remember, has acted as Marshall
with so much general satisfaction, will ap-
pear again this year, and acting again as

Make a Note of II.

The Troy Times announces the follow
ing reform which has been made in an i'm
portant direction in that city, which sub
ject is one that may we'll be considered in
Rutland, as our Opera House is troubled
greatly by the same nuisances which
should be abolished
A reform has been inaugurated by the
present management OF the Opera House
in relation to lOungers. Heretofore a
crowd Of noisy lads would congregate IN
front OF the door and poster every one who
came out during the entertainment for his
admission check. Persons passing the
Opera House could scarcely find bit
of clear sidewalk. This nuisance has been
entirely abated. Another reform has
been effected in relation to the boys in
the gallery. 1t has been their custom to
boot and yell in n most disagreeablc
manner, oftentimes during most in
terestng portions of a play, il it
did not happen to please them. Special
officer Sprong has the boys unler control,
and although 10 cannot prevent their
| throwing an occasional wad OF paper at
the ladies and gentlemen III the orchestra
chairs, he can keep their mouths shut.
The theatre is now in very clearly condi'
ton, but If persons in the audience con
iinue to eject tobacco spttle directly in the
aisles where ladies have to pass, as we saw
some do few nights ago, it will not re
main in cleanliness very long.
