pass through Jenkins kitchen There has not
been much friendship between jenkins and Mary

his kitchen TO get into the cellar, and u prevent
her doing so, fastened the kitchen door Mary
was at work one night trying TO open the door,
when jenkins " went for her" Mary retrcated
in good order up the back stairs, but jenkins, be-
ing the feetest Of the two, came up 10 her when
about halfway up the stairs Mary says he caught

her pulled her hair, injured her arm, and inflicted
other injuries; but II is believed she is in fair
way to recover; and here the curtain falls on the

WELL SATISFIED. J. HOLSTER, OF North
Montpelier, is perfectly satisfied with his jersey
stock, and not without reason. During all the
depression which the butter market has expert
enced during the past few months, Mr.. Hollister
has sent bis butter in tubs, to large wholesale
house in Boston, and it has not netted him less
than thiry-two cents p0r pound any week and
usually brought him thirty-dye, lIe thinks the
redt is due To the Jersey stock, but We think
the honor should he divided between the stock
and Mn. Holister who is one of the very best
buttor-makers IN the county. Mr.. Hollister uses
the barrel.churn, which he regards as the best in
the market

village school the past winter We find the names
Of Amasa Taisey, Leonard Renfrew Maggie

district that these scholars have always been
prompt in attendance, but Miss Mana bears off
the palm, having trudged nearly mile to school,
through snow and rain, heat and cold, for five
successive terms, without being absent or tardy in
the whole time. II the state can boast Of better

who is now the only member OF her fathers family

How MAN FEELS TO BE RuS OVER ny THE
CARs.-On the 9th inst. freight conductor L.
Averill fell across the nail ut Wells River and the
wheels OF car weighing thirteen thousand, Ave
hundred pounds passed obliquely over his body
and off the left leg some six inches below the hip
When the wheel passed over Ayerill listened for
the crushing Of the bones but they did not break
but the wheel OF the truck following almost in
stantly he felt sure would cut the legs of But
the wheel passed over, and before the rear trucks
had reached him he sprang out and was standing
bolt upright. For Ave minutes he felt no pain
but since then the pain has been almost unendu-
rable, and no has been kept under the influence Of
oplates. Two jack knives In his pocket were bent
nearly double. 1t Is supposed the iapge Of the
wheels struck upon these knives first and passed
up to the top Of the leg, and thus avoided the
shearing effect OF the fange upon the rail. The
skin upon bis person was not broken, but the
flange broke the tissue OF the flesh on the top Of
the legs, and underneath the rail sank into the
flesh, leaving It's mark distinct Mr. Ayerll. IL
carefully attended, will get along. THIS II the
only case on record where q car has run over a
