A MIDNIGHT CARoUsAL.-A mid
night carousal at West Rutland, on Sun
day night, ended in a shooting case, by
which one Patrick Sullivan was shot in
the mouth, and seriously though proba-
bly, not fatally wounded, by one Edward
S. Lowell, who claims to have done the
shooting in self defence of himself and
house. 1t appears, however, that Low
ell kept liquor for sale and Sullivan and
companion were after it though already
heavily loaded, with that article. Lowell
has been arrested, was himself under the
influence of liquor when arrested and an
other person lay drunk on his premises at
the same time, and in fact, it appears to
have been drunken debauch all
through.

steam grist mill on Main street, owned
by the Hart brothers. The fire seems to

boiler, or in the basement below. DIR

Rev. DIR. Webster from Charleston, S.
c., the father of DIR. d. p. Webster of this
town, was present, and Rev. Mr.. Craw-

FAYETTEVILLE.

The monotony of this quiet village
was somewhat relieved last week, by an
amusing yet exciting race, which took
place in the street. between two of its
well. known citizens. 1t seems the facts
in the case were these; A offered his
horse for sale to b, if he could have
the cash payment for it down. B, then
borrowed the horse to go to Brattleboro,
and at night offered note to A, in
payment for the horse, which was refused,
b, claimed the horse; A sought le-
gal counsel and was advised to wait till
morning before doing anything. Next
morning he was told to go and get the
horse which was in BIS barn. While
in the act of taking it away he was seen
by B., who still claimed the animal
and in the course of the somewhat bois
ferrous conversation, the horse broke the
rope and escaped, running full speed VI
the street. The two men followed in close
pursuit, b outrun the other and start
ed the horse toward his barn again. The
gathering crowd dared not stop the nov
excited animal and B. soon secured it
A suit was entered by A to secure hi
property.
The Mason house so recently purchas
ed for parsonage is being repaired
painted and papered and will be quite I
pretty dwelling when finished.
Court is expected to close this week.

UNION HALL MAY 6.-Washburn's
last sensation is to be given at Union Hall
Thursday evening May 6. He has been
received with great favor in his present
campaign everywhere. The Springfield
Republican says thatith has become" one Of
the best and most popular of the variety
shows" They scatter funny little farces
though their programme to give sparkle
and have a score or SO of specialties
Notably among these were the Coleman
sisters, who played duet on comets =
difficult instruments for small girls
very creditably, and were handy with
other musical machinery. james Row
lands trapeze balancing was the most
daring ever exhibited here.
The Hartford Courant, of April 18th
says 1t is very seldom that more ex-
cellant variety performance than that
given by Washburn's company last even
ing is seen in the city. Mr.. Washburn
is veteran manager, and knows how to
cater to the popular taste. His last sen
sation is the best. 1t affords rich en-
tertainment for old and young, and bet
ter still, is free from anything objection
able to the most fastidiOus taste. The
artists whom he has gathered make up
company of great ability. The pro
gramme includes a wide range of anus
ing performances, and interest is main
tanned throughout the whole of it. The
dramatic sketches are new and full OF
fun, and the individual performances
are original and attractive There was
large audience present last night at
the Opera House, and the feeling of sat.
isfaction was general, as the frequent
hearty rounds of applause indicated

gallery in Keene, N. HI. a fine collection
of Sterroescopic views, among them are

GAxBLINo.-No passion can lead to
such extremities, nor involve . man in
such a complicated train of crimes and
vices, and ruin whole families 50 CON-
pletely, as the baneful rage for gam
bling. 1t produces and nourishes all
imaginable and disgraceful sensations;
it is the most fertile nursery Of covet-
BUSINESS, envy, rage, malice, dissimula-
tion, falsehood, and foolish reliance on
blind fortune; it frequently leads to
fraud, quarrels, murder, forgery, mean
ness, and despair; and robs us in the
most objectionable manner of the great
est and most irrecoverable treasure
time. Those that are rich act foolishly
in venturing their money in uncertain
speculation; and those that have not
much to risk, play with timidity, and
cannot long continue play unless the
fortune of the game turn, rs being
obliged to quit the field at the first
heavy blow; or if they stake everything
to force the blind goddess to smile upon
them at last, madly hazard their being
reduced to instant beggary. The gam
bier but rarely dies.a rich man; and
those that have had the good fortune
to realize some property in this mis-
erable way, and continue playing, are
guilty of a two-fold folly. Trust nc
person of that description, of whatever
rank or character he may be.
