bardton, Vt, fought with The Vermont
Milita at the battle OF Plattsburgh, and
settled in Middebury, where he long re-
sided, n quiet industrious citizen. OF
late years he has been afflicted with par
alysis which we presume to be the immc.
date cause Of his decease.
A few days ago while Mr.. s. b. How
ard was drawing logs, he had the misior.
tune TO get one of his legs caught between
a log and a tree whereby the member was
badly injured 1t was at first thought
that the bone was fractured, which may
and may not be the case now.
About the same time Mr. Charles Gee
had sled load Of wood run over one
of his feet, lampg and coninng him to
the house for several days, but at last ac-
counts he was better.
And Mr.. q. r. Fisher while unloading
logs tried the experiment Of dropping one
on his toes, os also did Mr.. e. &, Rob.
bins. though neither of them proposes to
extract toe nails in that manner again. if
they can help it.
We hear that there was quite Il fight
at the Jewett mill the other day between
one Dragon and Mr.. Crane, (Mr. j.,
on.in.law) in which Mr. G. was roughly
handled and table belonging to Mr.. d. G.
Sherman and covered with crockery was
overset and SO or $40 worth broken; af.
ter which exploits Mr.. D.started in search
Of justice that he might enter com.
plant against himself, but finding none
went to Middlebury where he was ar
rested and tried. and lodged in jail whcrc
he still remains.
Our selectmen and auditors have been
IN consultation for some tire preparing
their annual report. We are informed
by them that the expenses Of the town
for the past year were about 81, 800.
On the 18th inst. while Mr.. W. e.
Kirby was at work for A Bean, Esq, il
the woods, he had his right arm caught
or hit in some unaccountable manner, by
which he suffered comminutcd fracture
Of the forearm near the wrist, so near tha
it is possible that the joint is involved.
