THE CRASE-JEwETT DEfALcATIoN.-This
matter came up in the United States District
Court, at Burlington, last week, upon the pre-
sentiment of the grand jury, indicting both MIR.
Crane and Mr.. Jewett for embezzlement and
making false entries. On motion of District
Attorney Fifeld, after determined opposition
from the respondents counsel, the indictments
III each case were joined. Both Crane and
Jewett plead not guilty, and bail was fixed in
Mr.. Cranes case at $40 900, and in Mr.. jew
ett's at $4,000. We understand that the
Court intimated on the last day of the term,
that had Mr.. Cranes bondsmen been present
and asked it, the bail in his case would have
been cut down to that required Of Mr.. Jewett.
Mr.. Cranes father-in-law, and brother-in-law,
Sylvester Derby, of Burlington, and ii. Derby,
of Russell, New York, became bondsmen for
him, while Mr.. Jewett's former bondsmen
from st. Johnsbury, signed his bond. MIR.
Crane's counsel were Il. j. Phelps, Henry
Ballard and Il. II. Start Of Burlington, and
Levi Underwood and Carolus Noyes, of Bur
slington, and L. Z. Chttenden, Of New York

dependents in both cases, and granted until

THE WAR DRANA.--rhe drama, Vermont
in the Rebellion" which was presented to our
people on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings OF last week, under the aus
pices of Post Brooks, &. A. R., drew crowded
houses every night, and has resulted in secur-
ing very handsome sum for the charity fund
of that post. Where the characters were so
numerous, and each of the actors did so well.
it is almost impossible to speak particularly of
those to whom especial credit should be given.
OF course the excellent presentation of the play
was due in great degree to that veteran man
ager and actor, Mr.. Dan Worcester, to whom
all are under deep debt of gratitude. The
fine acting of Miss Nina E, Gregory, too, was
a great attraction, and she has kept the many
friends she had here before, and has added hosts
Of others, who will follow her course in the fu ..
ture with great Interest. OF the others, Mr.
George w. Wing kept the crowded houses in
roar Of laughter by his inimitable character
ization of the true Milesian from Cork, and his
efforts to please were ably supplemented by
Capt. Liyingston's representation of the leu
tonic element in our civilization. Mr. and
Mrs. George l.. Lane have rare talents as
actors, and played their parts almost to perfec-
ton. Mr.. Huse did the character Of the vii
lage banker in good taste, while Messrs. Bean,
Cochran and Master Randall performed the
part of our fifteenth amendment brethren with
rare skill and fidelity Miss Florence Wing
won many and hearty encomiums for her ex-
cellent personation of " Mehitabe" OF the

the music by the band and orchestra was Of
the very best. All who have attended these
exhibitions have been greatly pleased, and we
are glad to announce that the same piece will
be repeated on Wednesday and Thursday even
ings Of this week, the first night for the benefit
Of Mr.. Dan Worcester, and the second for the
benefit Of the members Of the company. Let

WArERBuRY-By means of misplaced
switch near the depot, few mornings since,
freight train running at full speed, ran into
three cars standing on the side track, threw
them of, and made pretty complete wreck of
them.
ALI the trcstle-work of the bridge below
this place has been again swept away, and
railroad communication is again interrupted.
The work of rebuilding and repairing this
bridge since the old one was burned last sum
mer, has been uniformly pursued on the Sab
bath the same as other days of the week, and
there has been u very remarkable succession oil
disasters attending it. No one can say Ger
tainly that they have come in consequence oil
Sabbath dissertation, but would it not be well
for the directors in the matter to inquire, if i,
will not be wise to change their policy in this
regard, and try and see what will follow rest on
the Lords day? When the bridge at Ridley's
two or three years since, was replaced with
treste work, the work went on through two
successive Sabbaths, but on each Monday fol
lowing, the workmen began just where they
left of on Saturday night for the reason thai
the flood each time took away all that they did
on Sunday Is there no lesson to be learned
from those facts, taken in connection with what
has proved to be so annoying and vexatious
about the present work.
