Fire at New Haven.

The barn Of Mr.. Byron Pollard, who
lives on what is known as the "old Wheeler
place" about three miles from the station,
was totally consumed by fire Wednesday
night, together with large barn and con-
tents and all out-buildings. Mr. Pollard
and wife were away attending grange
meeting and left little or no fire in the
stove, and its origin remains mystery.
They lose all their clothing and furniture
in the house, there being nothing saved.
A neighbor ran and liberated the COWS, the
only stock saved. The barn was q large
one and was well filled with hay, which
was totally destroyed. Mr.. Pollard will
feel the loss severely, coming, as it does, in
the middle winter, and he has the SYM
pathy of our people The amount of in
surance is not definitely known, but is esti-
mated at about $500. JACK.

MIDDLEBURY.
Forefathers Day and Evening Centennial.

Forefathers Day and Evening Centennial
The pilgrim celebration at Middlebury
was held as usual by the Middlebury his
torcal society. Rev. C. B. Hubert presi-
dent of the college, delivered the annver-
sary address. These public exercises were
held in the Congregational church, and
followed by social party given by the la
dies of the congregation, and, as usual,
supplied with toasts and speeches by gen.
tlenen invited by the historical society.
This year the occasion took the form of n
centennial supper given by the ladies, of
which we are able to give rather lively
idea from private letter.
The old fashioned kitchen was superb
success. In arrangement and conduct
nothing was wanting to the perfect thing,
as intended. The decoration was all with
evergreens and flowers; as to the room and
old pictures, it is marvellous that they
had enough of the latter so suitable and in
teresting portraits, male and female, in
various styles, young and old, full length
and less, and not Overcrowded. The kitch-
en- proper occupied the main platform, ex-
tending across the north end of the room,
defined by rails and curtains. Here the
Col. Ransom family, of the lake shore, in
1775, had their famous kitchen and
hospitable table. An extra fee admitted
guests here. When first the clock in its
corner, then the big and little wheel, the
rod, the sideboard with decanters filed
with colored drink, the table with down
country souvenirs, the honored mother-in-
law in chair of honor, social, good lady,
the fire place and ancient fxings, the
hospitable table of twenty plates, at which
Col. Ramson in wig and his lady in cap, with
numerous daughters serve tea forbidden
beverage in the older States, cakes, pud-
dings, breads, pies of every variety
and quality. the colonel command
ing the magnificent plates of
pork and beans to every succeeding male
guest, all jovially but quietly enjoyed, as
constantly supplied from bean-pot and
shelf beyond the table, The remainder of
the large room thronged about tables scat
tered in it, attended by costumed walters,
Astounding in things of the usual type in
capital profuslon, brilliantly lighted, sus-
tanned its part as well for the "greatest

Waterman, named McCarty, so badly
burned that he died shortly after. Carroll

The Bowen Libel Shit.

New YORK. Dec. 90.
The Bowen libel suit was continued this
morning in the Brooklyn city court. Mr..
Winfield desired to introduce the issue of
the Brooklyn Eagle of December 81, con-
tanning the publication of the Kidd article,
but it was objected to and ruled out as in
admissible. While waiting for a witness
Mr.. De Witt moved to dismiss the COM
plant against Thomas Finsella, as there
was no evidence to show that he was re-
sponsible for the publication of the article,
Mr. Mclean being managing editor of the
paper. The court denied the motion. Ex-
Judge Greenwood was then called, and
asked with reference to certain date,
which he could not remember. This closed
the evidence to be taken, and Mr.. Beach
summed up for the defence and dwet upon
the power of the press and the difficulty of
hindering errors from creeping in occasion
ally, and spoke of the competition existing
among editors. Fullerton will sum up for
the plaintiff this afternoon.
LATER.
The trial of Henry G. Bowen against the
Brooklyn Eagle for 100000 damages for
libel was concluded this evening. Judge
Reynolds charged the jury and informed
them to bring in sealed verdict.

Mrs. Barney McDeed, while returning
from the quarries on Sunday evening fell
in slippery place on the road and broke
her arm in two places--at the wrist and
near the elbow. DR.. ]. d. Hanrahan was
called.
1t is said that the inequalities of West
Rutland citizens has been highly commend
ed by the State board of agriculture, who,
during their sojourn here were "taken in u
and treated handsomely without a
cent to pay"
The thanks of the travelling community,
at least, should be awarded to Mr.. John
Barnes for the building of substantial ad
dition to the depot platform, which, while
serving his tenement interests, does away
entirely with the possibility of fatal acct
dent to some unwary pedestrian.
The first of course of lectures announc-
ed to be delivered here by Mr.. Hall did not
take place, we believe, on account of non
patronage. This looks rather bad for the
intellectual tastes of the community as Mr..
Hall is known to be fine historian and his
lectures are said to contain much valuable
historical information.

for this diocese will, we understand, be
stationed as pastor of the French coagre
ton in Rutland.
We are pleased to notice the growing
prosperity of our young townsman, MIR. j
III. Mead. In his chosen avocaton thu
secret of his success arises from this fact
he is thoroughly in earnest, and never at
tempts any duty that he does not thorough
ly perform. His success as an agricultur
ist, and in every branch thereunto belong
ing, should prompt more of our young mer
of brains and means to "stick to thu

Moral suasion in some families is OF
