WEATHERsFIELD-A Good Bear
Story.-John White lived in Weathersield
in the times when new rum intoxicated,
but did not kill, and was used on all oc-
casions, from wedding to husking.
One evening John was going home from
raising, carrying his broad ak and all
the ardent convenient, feeling as inde-
pendent as if he was intoxicated with
the spirit of rs. As he was passing
through narrow path in the woods a
figure INSTRUCTED his way. "Stand TO
the right or left or | will split you
down." hiccoughed White, raising his
AK. No heed was taken of the words
and the ak fell with such force that it
went crashing through the skull, and
John went home. When morning and
sense came round he expressed the fear
that he had killed a man the evening
before. The startled family we're seri.
onsly alarmed when they found the ak
covered with blood. Search was at once
made and large bear was discovered in
the path with its head split open. Sc
the adventure brought meat to the fami.
ly instead of the father to the gallows.-

SHOOTING ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday
last a young man named VIM. Peaslee,
met with sad accident at the residence
of his brother-in-law, Mr.. Frank Pitcher,
near the cemetery. 1t seems that when
in the act of lifting gun loaded with
shot, which he had just been using in
killing birds, from where he had placed
it on the porch, the hammer struck on
the edge of the flooring causing the gun
to go off. The charge of powder and
shot entered the feshy part of one of his
arms just below the shoulder, tearing
through the veins, smaller arteries and
muscles which must be thickly located
in that part of the arm. The wound
was a bad one, from which the blood
rushed in a stream, but it is hoped he
may Claremont, ~ H., AduO-

seen in G. l.. Harvey's house, July ID.
After tearing off the top of the Chin

and the hearth, in various directions, but
broke none of the several parts. Mr..

of doors, the door being fortunately open.
Persons at short distance saw the bolt
descend and ran to the spot, finding him
sensless, but he revived soon after being
carried into the house, though feeling
the effects of the shock for several days.

THE ST. ALBANs MURDER.

THE ST. ALBANs MURDER.
No clue to the murderer of Miss Ball
was obtained on Wednesday. A dis
patch to the Rutland Globe says; All
the circumstances of the case go to show
that the murderer was person far above
the grade of an outcast and vagrant,
and there lie strong presumption that the
murder was committed after the victim
in her desperate resistance to the assall'
ants brutal attack, had torn the mask
from his face I nd recognized him, wher
he killed her to save himself. All ap
pearances seem to indicate that the per
petrator of this awful crime was known
to the girl whom he left so pitfully 81
lent, and that be knew he had been re
cognized by her.

OBGTUARY.-Mrs. Geo. M. Barrett OF
Grafton, died July 18th, aged sc years
On this beautiful Sabbath morning
as the people we're preparing for church
she was permitted, we trust, to join the
assembly of the just made perfect.
Long had she been faithful and de.
voted disciple of the Lord, who had de.
lighted in his ordinances.
Although her health had been poor
for some years, her last illness was short
and almost painless.
Extreme prostration alone reminded
her that she was passing away. And
when death came at length her going
from us was like the sun in a calm sky
sinking behind the hills.
She died as she lived at peace with
God and all mankind. She was a wo
man of strong and decided character,
whose aversion to the wrong was more
than equalled by her keen appreciation
of the right and true. She leaned to
virtues side. Her counsel was good and
often sought, and her example worthy
of imitation.
Though possessed of that which might
make the proud vain, she was ever I'M
assuming and gentle in her bearing. In
her the poor and afflicted found con-
slant friend from whom they never
turned uncontrolled away.
And now while husband and son,
brothers and sisters, church and people
SO deeply feel our loss, sweet memories
of her worthy life linger to assuage
grief and give us the hope of happy
meeting above. W.
