West Egiltiand Notes.

The experience of Mrs. Carmodv. the
insane woman who escaped from her
friends some time ago and spent eight days
in the woods and on the road was some
thing wonderful. She is not very robust
and was thinly clad at the time of her dis
appearance, and the nights were quite cold,
yet she did not enter house until the
day before her capture. 1t ia almost GER
tain. too. that she went without food all
that time, as her disconnected story goes to
prove. She ntmated once, however, that
she drank milk procured from cows in the
fields. The day before she was returned
to her friends she called ut Il farm house
and was discovered peering timidly in
through the window. The lady of the
house, going out, prevailed on her to enter,
and offering her food she ate greedily. At
terward she made some inquiries about the
main road'.(th farm house stood back
some distance therefrom) and having it
pointed out, she departed. She visited
some four or five other houses after this,
in one of which she was given pair of
shoes. These she thankfully accepted, and
taking the strings out Of the old ones put
them into the others AT Mr.. Weslcott's,
the gentleman who very kindly and hui
namely brought the demented creature
back to her home here, her dress was SO
badly torn that Mrs. Westcott gave her a
Il oil, ,1 hOpnnt to bn
appeared to think that some one was after
her to kill her, and during her ride to West
Rutland made frequent fearful ejacnla-
tons to that effect She was taken to
Brattleboro on Saturday. For the two
days she remained in her home here, after
her return, she appeared quite tractable,
and, ut times, rational, but answered all
questions put to her only in monosyllables
The many friends Of the poor woman here
feel deeply grateful to Mr.. Wescott and
family for the kindly service performed by
them, and to all who were in any way in
strumenial in rescuing Mrs. Carmody from
an awful DEATH alone and unprotected in
the wilderness.
Mr.. G. II. Slason, Joseph Pajean and
other experts in the art piscatorial, visited
Castlelon pond last week. and spending
one night in that vicinity returned with
their baskets full of beautiful black bass
taken with spear. -Four of the fish sent
away by Mr.. s., to friend aggregated
twenty-five pounds.
Mr.. p McDeel of this village is an old
man entering on his nincty-frst year. He
is still hale and hearty, was never sick,
was always robust and vigorous, has an ex-
cellent memory, has used tobacco all his
life, can walk as sprightly as a youth in his
teens and still looks forward to long life
B. w. b., of the WoraM and others have
been trotting out wonderful (?) healthy
experiences lately. We invite them to
show their hands on the above deal
Miss Prudy Goban is very diligent and
industrious young lady who resides here.
She has had few educational advantages,
but is not outstanding, a bright example
to many loyelorn lasses with nothing to
do. Miss Prudence engages to clean one
house every day in the week excepting the
Sabbath. She hangs paper, paints, washes
and scrubs at a dollar day and finds
ample time to take care of her own home,
to run the sewing machine, stitching at Sc
much per yard, to cultivate her taste fol-
music, vocal and instrumental, and to per
feet herself in drawing, for which she has a
nice taste, and to initiate any artistic piece
of fashionable attire that her eye beholds
Miss Gobain is never tired, never suffers
from enaui, is always in the best humor
and only seventeen. Young ladies and gen
tlemen take note.
Mr.. John II. Mead recently shipped {
buck-lamb to gentleman in Wisconsin
for which valuable piece of mutton he re
ceyed 800.
The disciples of temperance in this sec
ton are taking rest after the winter cam
paign We would adyise them to keel
their lamps trimmed, for the arch encm,
of souls never sleeps, and even now the
finished work may be undoing.
