Mrs. J. III. Clark had call from
few lady friends, a few days since. for an
afternoon. She wished to make them
comfortable, as she does all her friends,
and brought from the parlor for them
her nicespring seated easy chair. As soon
as it was occupied, rats in large numbers
leaped from the bottom of the chair in
to the room among her guests. This
put the company in motion. The hop
was complete success, but the music was
rather wild. Mr.. Clark at work dis

and dancing and soon entered the
room with his little dog. The fight was
sharp but short. The result was eleven

Two of the rascals hid in lounge in

Thinking to escape under the covert OF

thirteen full grown rats that had made
their nest in that chair. On examina

in Weston appears to be divided on the
question of the guilt of Haselton. whose
previous character would not indicate
that he would commit such crime, and
he claims the fullest investigation.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-We are warned
again this week, as we are too frequently
of late, of the dangers of walking upon
the track, especially for old people who
are hard of hearing. The mail train
south over the Central Division, when
approaching White River junction last
Monday noon, struck man named Eu-
gene Roberts, about 70 years of age, and
injured him so severely that he lived on
ly about an hour. He was resident of
Hartford, in which vicinity he was quite
we'll known. The engineer did all in
his power to warn him, by whistling, but
Roberts being quite deaf probably did
not hear it, and the train could not be
stopped in season to prevent the acct
dent.
