BARToNsYILLE.

l wish to make brief statement of
facts in relation to what was published
last week. In the first place, H. |.
Wiley did go with Sarah A., his wife,
and did permit her to demand and take
from @. NJ. Dorand, the treasurer of the
Spiritualist Association, $50 90 that
was reported at our annual meeting by
q. nj. Dorand and Sarah A. Wiley, the
former president, saying this money was
IN the treasury; not word said about
the Ladies Aid Society. @. M. Dorand
presented his book of record and read
from it. He had received from all
sources, s256 81 the past year for speak
ing; had paid out cash for the same,
s166 80, leaving balance in his hands
of $50 %; at the close of the meeting
he paid for speaking s15 90, leaving
SO O9 in the treasury. In two weeks
@ NJ. Dorand said to me we have no
money to pay for speaking, said he told
Mr. and Mrs. Wiley they had better let
IT be, it would make the least trouble.
Now this money after it was put into
the hands of our treasurer and so re.
ported and stands upon our record, no
one but the president and two vice pres
idents had any right to it, and they to
call for it for speaking in their hall.
Our 4th article says: The president and
vice presidents shall perform all duties
generally incumbent upon such officers
and shall constitute an executive COM
mittee, to manage the affairs of the AS
ISOLATION. Article Ali, all moneys paid
into the Society shall be appropriated at
the discretion of the officers for its ben
eft. This is truth and will prevail,
while error must die away.

The State election in Maine Monday,
resulted in the election of the republican
ticket by about 1000 majority, The leg
stature is also republicanin both branch
es, and Gen. Plaisted, republican, is
elected to Congress in the fourth district
to fill the vacancy. The republicans
lost heavily in the large places on their
majority of last year, as usual on ac-
count of the toddy question. Their ma
jority has not unfrequently been as low
as 5000 to 5000 and in 1862 was 5000,
Both parties have considerably increased
their vote over last year.

INCIDENTS.

The Middlebury Register issued an
Extra, Saturday morning, from which
we copy the following incidents:
James Sullivan lost his watch. worth
$50 into the river.
Miss Phinney had a shoulder disloca-
ted and wrist sprained, while carrying
goods out of Nichols block.
One chap refused to work on the
brakes, and two fire wardens laid their
batons over him with will, after which
the Sinking chap put down the brakes
as if in earnest.
Dan Adams lay sick with fever and
was moved out only just in time to get
carefully away before the fire broke out
in his house. 1t is hoped he suffered no
damage from the removal.
Thomas Fletcher, while carrying a
basket Of Jewelry, was offered relief of
his burden by some scamp, but he de-
clined, and when necessary defended his
charge by pistol shot, which did not
take effect.

Great Fire at Middlehnry.

A disastrous fire broke out in the pa
per mill of the Middlebury Paper Co.,
at about midnight of Friday night of
last week, just after the night hands had
left the mill, and destroyed that mill,
the buildings of the Middlebury manu-
featuring and Middlebury wooden COM
panies, two halls, six dwellings, and
burned out 20 business firms, beside de-
stroying part of highway bridge The
papermill contained three engines, and
had been running on book and news pa
per, producing one ton per day, The
total loss is estimated at $4,000, in
sured for about $4,000
Among the losses are the Middlebury
Paper Company, loss on building and
machinery $4,000, insurance 5000
loss on stock $4,000, no insurance. Mid

The Register building was finally saw

burnt district covers some three acres.
The cause Of the fire is unknown, but as
usual, in such cases, surmises are plenty.
Among the losses was the elegant hall
of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Society, sit
uated in Nichols block. Their records
for twenty years were destroyed. In
1857 this hall was elegantly fitted up by
the chapter, and contained select libra
ry Of over 800 volumes, several fine
paintings, one of which was painted by
the wife Of Rev. George N. Boardman,
D. D., beside quantity of elegant fur
niture. The loss is estimated at 81, 800,
with an insurance OF $500.
The reports that Middlebury was de.
stroyed and couldn't recover from this
blow, are absurd She suffers disas-
trous blow, but she still has left business.

citizens who will rebuild the burnt dis.
trict and she will again assume her
prominence among the large towns OF
the State.
