The Phoenix of last week says that a
lighted cigar stump thrown into spit
box filled with sawdust, in Armory hall,
Center block, came near causing Sc
rious oonfagration one night last week.
The body of the little six year old
Buddington girl, drowned at Center
ville,) Brattleboro. about nine weeks
since, was recovered short distance be-
low where she fell in, on Tuesday after
noon, the recent heavy rains having
washed the body to the surface. She
was only recognized by her little dress
and boots.

JAMAICA.-The Brattleboro Record
says that on Wednesday night, LIST inst,
Peter johnson, under the influence of
poor gin, took horse, harness, and robe
belonging to F. H. Orvis, buggy wagon
belonging to Frank Veda1, and an over.
coat belonging to Amos Sheldon, from
the barns connected with the Equinox
House in Manchester, and started on his
travels. After driving around Dorset
the balance of the night, he crossed the
mountain, through Winhall to Jamaica,
where he sold the wolf robe, worth some
$40, for So, and with his horse minus
one fore shoe, and buggy thill broken,
he started on just at night with man
from Stratton, to trade horses with him.
When the Manchester stage arrived at
Jamaica about 9 o'clock Thursday eve.
ming, the driver brought news of the
theft of the property to Deputy Sheriff
L. N. Sprague, who Immediately started
on the trail and found the man at the
hotel in West Wardsbolo, fast asleep.
He was secured and the property all re-
covered. johnson was arrested in Just
about "a hours after he started out with
the pluuder, taken before Luke Howard,
Esq, at Jamaica, for examination, on
complaint of States Attorney E. L. Wa
terman, and for want of $500 bail was
committed to Jail at Fayetteville to
await his trial in September. In "a
hours after the theft was committed at
Manchester, he was snug in Jail at Fay
etteville. This is the third horse thief
deposited in our county jail, by Deputy
Sheriff Sprague, since last September.
If every Deputy in the county will do
as we'll, Windham county will he too
hot for horse thieves.

saw to adjust the stick when his fingers
we're caught by the saw instantly sever
ing three of them at the junction with
the hand. The second and third fingers
we're cut out of the hand in such way
as to leave them connected when found
upon the saw table. DIR. Noble, of Ches-

nate man is reported as doing we'll.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. The Clare
mont, N. II. Advocate says that the
storm that visited that county on the I'd
inst. was particularly severe in Cornish.
Four valuable cattle were killed by light
ning-an extra fine pair of oxen and a
large two years old steer, the property
of Chapman & Stone, living in the west
ern part of the town, and very valua-
BILE heifer belonging to Charles Gilkey.
The cattle from which these we're killed
were kept in two adjoining pastures and
had gathered under tree standing near
the line, the oxen upon one side and a
large drove of young stock upon the
other, and all were killed by the same
stroke. Upon the steer the track of the
current could be traced by line of
singed hair extending down one side of
the neck between the fore legs, along the
belly, the fluid passing down the inner
side of the leg to the earth.

CAPT. A. r. IN.-The many friends
of Capt. A. r. Sabin of Chicago, for.
merly of tSis town and son of Dea. E.
S. Sabin of Saxtons River, will be pleas
ed to learn of any new success attending
him, and we therefore copy the follow
ing from the Chicago Teacher for July:
Capt. A. r. Sabin, for many years
Principal of one Of the district schools
of this city, and recently teacher of Int
in in the high school, has just been elect
ed Principal of Lake Forest Academy,
at salary of $4,000 per annum, with
provision equivalent to $4,000 more. Mr..
Sabin has long been recognized as lead
ing educator in Chicago and the North
west, and is a teacher of acknowledged
ability, refined and accurate scholar,
Christian gentleman of unexception-
able bearing in all his relations, and
most thorough and efficient disciplinar
ian. Mr.. Sabin goes to this field of Ia
Dor with the prestige OF rare success,
and is followed by the kind sentiments
of host of friends. The trustees of
this institution in their choice of Mr..
Sabin, are but carrying out their de-
clared purpose to make the Academy
worthy of the fullest confidence and sup
port, and that he may not be in the
least embarrassed, they will surround
him with an efficient corps of instruc-
tors. What is gain to the Academy
is loss to Chicago, which can il afford
to spare such men. While we regret his
transfer, our congratulations are tender
ed to the Academy and to the people of
Lake Forest.

We learn with pain of the sorrow
which has fallen ON Hon. John w.
Stewart of Middlebury, in the sudden
death of his youngest child, John W.,
Jr., under circumstances which must ag-
gravate the burden of his grief. Gov.
Stewart was absent in Connecticut, with
his two older children in attendance at
the funeral of Mrs. Stewards uncle, Jo-
seph Battell, Esq, and Mrs. Stewart was
at her brothers in Ripton, when the lit
tie boy-a bright and active child OF
eighteen months-was taken violently
ill, on Monday morning, and, in spite OF
the efforts Of three physicians, died twelve
hours after. Dispatches were sent to
Gov. Stewart, but he had gone to New
York, and did not receive them till Tues
day. Mrs. Stewart, meanwhile, had
been taken i'll, at Ripton, eight miles
from home, and on Tuesday it had not
been thought best to break to her the
news of the death of her child. The
next older child was also reported seri-
ously i'll on Tuesday .-BurIington Free
Press, 18th.

WALPoLE.-A number of summer
visitors have already arrived at Walpole,
among them Rev. Dr. Bellows and wife
of New York. Mr.. Bowman who writes
the musical articles for Appleton's En-
cyclopedia, is stopping with his family
at Mrs. Wright's. Rev. F. N. Knapp
and his brother who hybernated at Ply
mouth, Mass, have returned to gain new
inspiration aud fresh vigor at their old
homestead on the hill. Mr.. Frederick
Holland, after an absence of six years
in Missouri, surprised his relatives with
visit last week; he shows no signs of
Western decentralization, and still carries
the freshness and vigor of youth.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.-During the
thunder storm of the I'd inst, as son of
Mr.. j. W. Adams, of Stowe, aged about
seventeen years, was lying in bed in
his fathers house, his feet being about
six inches from an open window, the
lightning struck the house, and, enter
ing the window, killed him Instantly.
His brother, lying on the same bed with
him, and his mother, sitting in the same
room. were severely stunned by the
shock. A dog in the room, near the
mother, was killed without making a
movement after he was struck. The
house was considerably injured by the
shock. Young Adams was respected by
all who knew him.

NoRwICH.-Mr. j. S. Clifford's house
in the west part of the town, was struck
by lightning on Sunday evening, June
%. The lightning struck the house on
the northwest corner, following down a
rafter into the chamber, and into the
room where young Mr.. Clifford and wife
were at the time in bed, and passed from
there through the floor into the kitchen,
and from there through the kitchen floor
into the cellar, which ended Its depreda-
tions. Things in Its track were pretty
well demoralized, but strange to say, no
one was injured nor the house fred.

BRUTAL PARENTS. -Freddie Russell OF
johnson, five years old, is so unfortunate
as to have a step-mother and a more
brutal father, who have been accustom-
ed to beat him till he was covered with
bruises, and once they held him, head
downward, in barrel of ice-water till
he was nearly dead, while hanging him
up by the arms fer hours has been no
uncommon amusement to them. The
neighbors have taken the child from
them, and they have fed. The boys are
going to make it lively for them, if they
come back.

THUNDER STORM AT CLARENDON
The town of Clarendon was visited by a
terrible thunder storm July I'd, which
done much damage. Daniel KimbaIl,
well known farmer of that town, had
grazing in a pasture some very valuable
cattle. Two Of them, cows, valued at
5000, were struck by lightning and q
deep furrOw was ploughed up for quite
distance by the bolt after it struck.

WESTMINSTER WEsT.-On the I'd
inst. the lightning struck the house of
Charles Goodell, passing down the CHM
ney and cracking a stove, and from there
it passed to an adjoining room and broke
another stove from which it passed into
the cellar, cutting water pipe. Mrs.
Wilcox and a child were the only per-
sons in the house at the time, neither of
whom were injured.

- Mr.. G. w. Stinehour has just COM
pleted a job of painting and granite
sanding on the front of the TINES build

excellent piece of work and much to
his credit.
= The morning train for New York
now leaves this place at 100, which is
some half hour earlier than formerly,
and in fact earlier than that train has
ever started at this season that we are
aware of. Those wishing to take that
train therefore should bear the earlier
time in mind or they will be caught late.
Another similar change takes place on
the Cheshire road next Monday, when
the morning train for Boston will leave
at 700. This is an hour and FIVE min
utes ahead of former time. Look out
for the change.
= Mr.. George M. White who was al
legged to have been connected with the
Walpole bank robbery in 1864, and
tried at Keene and in whose case the
jury disagreed, has recently been in this
section and honorably settled and paid
all his old accounts, including full in
terest for the whole time, and among
other things received from the govern
ment what was due him as former post
master at Westmoreland. Mr.. w. has
not been subject to arrest since 1867, and
has been for some time and is now doing
successful livery business in New
York.
- Mr.. Fred Mather, one of the editors
of the Buffalo Live Stock journal, by
direction of the u. S. Fish Commission
ers, arrived at this place on Wednesday,
with 10000 young shad, which he and
j. ID. Bridgman deposited in the river
above both the Falls and the dam nearly
opposite j. b. Morgan's. This is only
one of several instances in which the
commissioners have stocked other rivers
in similar manner in various parts of
the United States. These young fish it
is expected will this fall find their way
down the river to salt water and return
next spring.
RESOLUTIONS passed by the Sunday
school of the Methodist Episcopal Church
of this place, in honor of the memory
of Jennie A. Ladd, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. G. Ladd:

er, Jennie A. Ladd, who was one of the
most active and interested members of
our Sunday school, therefore,
Resolved, That we bow in uncom-
planning submission to His high and holy
will, though sense of our loss causes
great sadness.
Resolved, That in her happy death
we have given US new evidence of the
endearing love and friendship of the
Saviour to the children, as "the lambs
of his fold"
Resolved, That we, who are TO toll
yet longer on earth, will seek for like
precious faith in him who ais mighty to
save"
Resolved, That we extend our warmest
sympathies to the sorely bereaved pa
rents and relatives.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to the family of the de-
ceased, and that they be published in

PUTNEY.-The people of Putney have
erected band stand-a credit to them
selves and the village.
An accident occurred on the Fourth.
An anvil was being fired in the morning
and at the third discharge it burst and
one piece struck a French Canadian
named Bernard, upon his leg above the
knee, first striking double-barrelled
shot gun, which he held standing in front
of him, breaking the gun into four pieces,
thus breaking the 9orce of the blow but
cutting a severe cash in his leg.
