We learn from the Caledonian that
O'Ganuon, who was shot by Carr at Walden,
on Monday complained Of himself to a jus
tice for the assault upon widow Carr, previ-
GUS to the shooting, and was fined So and
costs.
One day last week Mr.. Ruggles, master
Of Star Grange. Sutton, was very unexpect-
eddy, though as it proved agreeably SUR
prised by seeing some twenty or more teams
driven up in front of his door, and without
even an apology, the gentlemen commenced
to hand out their ladies, who proceeded
forthwith to take possession of kitchen, sit
ting-room, and paror. Mr.. and Mrs. r.,
being somewhat timid, and not being in
their usual trim for receiving company, be-
gan to look little like being frightened;
but as the ladies began to unload their bas-
kets and display their rich viands, and the
gentlemen coming in Elder Gilman informed
them that they were Patrons and their mis-
sion friendly, the Worthy Master recognized
them as friends, and extended to them n
cordial greeting. After spending a few
hours in the most agreeable aud friendly
manner, in which all seemed to share, Mr..
NJ. A. Taft, with few words, and in a very
pleasant way, presented Mr.. and Mrs. Rug
giles with a beautiful silver butter dish, as a
slight token Of the respect in which they are
held by the members Of the order. Mr. X.
responded, thanking them heartily for their
kindness. After supper all left, and the
universal belief seemed to be that such social
gatherings make us better friends, and truly
increase our happiness. A PATRON.
CHITTENDEN COUNTY.
Considerable excitement was created
Thursday morning, by the report that the
express train had run off the bridge at
Georgia. On investigation the rumor was
verified in every respect-the train had run
of Of one end of the bridge, as it has every
morning for time immemorial.-Free Press.
Thursday, we believe, was the first of April.
ESSEX COUNTY.
The Caledonian says that Cora A. Car
penter, of CRANKY, while on the high beams
Of barn after sap buckets, March 81, fell
to the bare floor by the giving away Of the
boards she stood on and broke her shoulder,
bruised her eye, and appeared badly hurt
internally. She bled frequently, but strong
hopes are entertained OF her recovery.
FRANKLIN COUNTY.
Geo. Tinker was arrested at Swanton last
week, for smuggling liquors, and B. Berose
for selling the same. They we're fined S25
and costs. Tinker not being able to pay
the fine was taken to Jail.
Our st. Albaus friends, the Sovereigns,
are favored with a merchant who almost
ought to be Sovereign. He sells goods to
all the Sovereigns, by contract, at small
percentage above cost and freight, and when
outsiders ask the same terms he says, Eyes,
with pleasure, it you will put yourselves in
the same relation to mo that these Sover.
eigus are Go and join them and you shall
fare as we'll as they do at my store" In
this way he has induced about thirty persons
to become Sovereigns, and perfect satisiac-
ton exists between him and them. Such a
trader is blessing to a community and if
the majority of traders were like him there
would be little need of Sovereigns or Patrons,
so far as the financial part of their work is
concerned.
LAMoILLE COUNTY.
Morrisvillo is to have spelling match
Friday evening, April IS, and Webster's
unabridged dictionary is the prize.

Not lecture or concert has been given in
the Bradford town hall this winter which
has not been disturbed by the whisperings
and chickering's of a few who ought to know
better. So says the Opinion.
The Nswbury School.
The number of scholars now daily assem-
bling in the old seminary hall for morn
ing prayer is over 100. The number sur
passes the most ardent expectations of the
friends Of the seminary. We all rejoice in
its re-opening, and the youth on both sides
of the Connecticut valley will gladly avail
themselves of the blessings of this school.
which we see nothing now to prevent being
as great as in the sunniest days Of the old
seminary" Seven competent teachers are
employed this term. Each department will
continue to be supplied with teachers Of ex-
perience aud marked ability for their special
departments. Professor Smith, the teacher
OF vocal and instrumental music, is most ac-
ceptable, genial and pleasant, as we'll as very
thorough in his work.
An effort has been made and is being con-
tinued To raise $4,000 for the benefit Of the
seminary. Further repairs will be made
the coming summer, and good astronomical,
philosophical aud chemical apparatus will be
secured before the opening Of the fall term
Liberal subscriptions have already been
made, and we hope the friends of Newbury
seminary will respond promptly, noby, and
literally to any call. There are hundreds Of
children growing up within FIVE, ten, fifteen,
and twenty miles of this place, who will fail
to be educated, if this school is not oontin-
ued or kert open, but who can come here
and board themselves the parents sending
the food from the farms will not realize the
expense, and thus the cost will not exceed
their means. But the idea Of incurring the
expense of a more expensive school at a
greater distance from home cannot be in.
