RIOT AT HYDEVILLE.- On Tuesday
forenoon several persons created dis
turbance at Hydeville by stopping a
train aud assaulting the conductor. Itap-
pears that several roughs, on town meet
ing day, attempted to ride on the train
and refusing to pay fare, were put off
the train, and the demonstration ON Tues
day was in revenge of that affair." On
Monday another man was put off for a
similar reason, and next day he put in
an appearance and demanded damages
of the conductor, Barnard, for alleged
injuries. The conductor said he should
do nothing about it. AT this time Pat
McGraw, one of the men put off on
election day, eollared breakman; con.
ductor Barnard came to the rescue of
the breakman, and John McGraw, a
brother of Pat, pitched into the conduct
or. Others joined in the melee, and
among them the station agent, Mr.. Wis
we'll, who succeeded in getting Barnard
out of the clutches of the rioters, and
further violence was stopped. Some
fifty men collected and the rioters sue
ceeded in delaying the train some three
hours. Another train was sent for,
which came with officers, and no further
resistance was made.

GRAFToN.-A slight error, originating
somewhere, caused last weeks TIMES to
inform its readers that Mr.. Colby of
Grafton had sued Chester for damages
sustained by him in consequence of the
insuficiency of the highway in that town.
Mr.. Colby was injured as stated, but in
the town of Springfield. He has brought
no suit to recover damages trusting the
matter may be amicably arranged. The
accident, however, occurred very near
Chester line and as the smell of fire has
not yet passed from that town, they may
regard it loud call, and deem it policy
for the present to acknowledge them
selves sued.

A. NJ, fire was discovered bursting out
of the roof of Widow David Rabbits

the river, Oh river street. A very high
wind from the west and north west famed
the flames. The house, l. and barn were
soon destroyed; the flames then lit upon
the buildings of Bliss Goddard which
were speedily laid in ashes; following
which, the dwelling house formerly own

by Augustus Carey, was mostly destroy

parts of the village, and bells sounded

to the scene and did all in their power to
save goods aud check the fire. The peo-

noble and persistent efforts to become
masters of the situation They sue

tached to Mr.. Carey's house and portion
of the lower story of the house was
saved and the rest of the house was
burned. Carrying water from the river
in pals was the only means the people
had to check the progress of the fire.
Many noble acts were performed we'll

to note them. The courage and fortitude
displayed by some of the ladies in bat

of which but few can boast. Some of
them repeatedly went to the river, dipped
water, carried to the fire and dashed it ON
the burning embers. Miss r. Cone,

SAD CASE OF INsANITY.-The case OF
Milo Shattuck of Ludlow, who became
insane two months ago, is peculiarly
sad one, followed as it has been by the
long and serious illness of his son in
consequence of injuries received while
taking care of his father. Unwilling, if
it could possibly be avoided, that the
husband and father should be taken to
an insane asylum, the family have exert
ed themselves to the utmost in endeavor
ing to care for him at home, fondly hop
ing that the alteration of mind would
prove but temporary, and yield to such
treatment as could be furnished here.
But in this, family and anxious friends
have been disappointed. For instead of
hoped for improvement, the patient con-
tinued to grow worse, and more difficult
to control, until finally it became abso-
lutely necessary to remore him to the
asylum at Brattleboro for needful treat
ment, and also that he might be placed
beyond the reach of endangering his own
or others lives. The care, anxiety, and
physical exertion necessarily employed
in thus attempting to manage an insane
father, proved too much for the son Lew
is, and the result has been long, pain
full aud dangerous sickness. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that at last the crisis in
his case has been reached, and should
nothing unforeseen set in, there is every
reason to expect permanent recovery
in due time.

grafton prevented, as a strong north wind
was blowing at the time.
The lecture course at Springfield has
been a success the past season, the re-
ceipts amounting to s65 over expenses.
