A PERILoUs JOURNEY An exciting scene
occurred at Canterbury. 1t appears that a,
dusk carman drove spirited pair Of horses,
attached to large trollery, to spot alongside
the river Stour The river was much swollen,
the gushing of the water frightened the horses
and they started off into the middle OF the
stream. The current carried them and the
carriage down the stream at terrific rate TO-
ward the mill dam. Between the point whence
the start was made to the mill dam there are
three bridges, and those persons who saw the
occurrence predicted that Redwood, who still
held the reins would be dashed against the
brickwork. He, however, had the presence
OF mind to lie down and came out from be.
meath uninjured. At point lower down rope
was secured to wall and connected with the
troilery, but the strain upon it was so great
that it broke. and the horses and trollery con-
tuued drifting downward. At the second
bridge over the river, Redwood was rescued
from his perilous position, having suffered Sc
we're injuries. An excited crowd assembled at
the mill dam, anticipating to witness the ar
rival there OF the horses and trollery, and the
disaster which must necessarily have followed.
Fortunately, however,, man dexterously threw
a Iasso which secured one of the horses and
other assistance being at hand, the terrified
animals were, with the trollery, dragged to
the back. The man was 10 precarious state,
owing to bodily injuries and severy shock 10
the system. The horses escaped uniDjured.-

EXPERIMENT IN TROUT CULTURE. We be-
lieve the first venture. in this direction, iu our
immediate section, has been undertaken by
one of our townsmen. His method is as fol-
lows: The water is brought from small reser-
voir, supplied by the spring of Mr. j. w.
Wood, by wooden trough FIVE inches square.
1t is then conveyed through two hlterioe
troushs and finally falls iuto charcoal trough
fitted with glass grilles upon which the eggs
rest. The reservoir, aqueducts, troughs, and
everything through which the water passes,
have been charred to prevent fungus growth.
The glass grilles allow all sediment to pass be.
low the eggs, and thus the ova are free from
1ne two greatest enemies, fungus and sediment.
= rive thousand eggs have been procured from
lrouIdale Farm, N. j., and are now hatchiog
out. This process requires about forty days.
It's the desigu of the protector, if his expert
% ment Is successful, to supply farmers, or any
Suo have suitable surroundings tor the propa-
gallon OF this species of fish, trout fry at the
sula' cost of two dollars per hundred, and we
suppose it would be desideratum with all to
Ss awe This delightful food fish almost at their
J' Joots' "a! at so Insignificant an expense. Lou

MIR. Otis' Readings mt Brandon.

The town hall at Brandon was crowded
on Tuesday evening to listen to the read
ings of Mr.. w. ii. Otis, the well known
elocutionist and actor. He acquitted him
self in such manner as to show that he
was master IN his profession. He recited
the whole of the play of the american
Cousin" giving each character its due re-
presentation. The Yankee character was
especially well taken, as was also that of
Lord Dundreary, while.his changes from
from one character to another were made
with most happy effect. AS whole the
entertainment was great success, which
was owing, in great measure, to the eff
forts of. the lecture committee.
The next lecture will be given on Tues
day evening by Col. G. II. Joyce of Rut-
land, to be followed by Rev. Mr.. Utley,
and probably afterwards by Mrs. Ann
Eliza Young, and DIR. Geo. b. Loring.
The next entertainment of the regular
course ,of lectures will be given by the
Camilla Urso concert company, on Thurs
day evening of next week. Wenrv Ward
Beecher is the standing lecturer" of this
course.

The Beecher.TiltOn Trial.
NEW YoRK, Jan. 81.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 81.
None of the parties in interest were pres
ent at the opening of the Beecher-Tlton
trial this morning, but Mr.. and Mrs Beecber
came in during the first hour. The court
admonished the lawyers against wasting so
much time arguing points, AID requested
counsel to notify him when they wished 10
argue. Moulton was then placed un re.di-
rect examination, and deposed that at none
of his interviews with Beecler did he deny
the charges of adultery with Mrs. Tilton.
Witnesses attention was called - letter
written on December Sth, 1870 was asked
if he had seen this letter before II was given
to him. lie replied that he had not tx
Judge Fullerton said these were all the
questions he had to ask. Witness was then
re-cross examined by Gen Tracy.
EXIT MouLToS.
After some unimportant testimony Gen
eral Tracy announced the examination of
Moulton closed.
Mrs Bradshaw sworn, testified that she
was an intimate friend Of Mrs Tllton's.
She wrote n letter to Beecher telling him
that she had been summoned to appear be-
fore the church committee and would ABIDE
entirely by what he advised Mrs Tlton
had made no confession 10 her Beecher
advised her to keep quiet and silent, 80 she
did not appear before the committee to
give evidence.
The next witness was VIM +. West, a
member of Plymouth church. who made
charges against Mr.. Tilton for slandering
Beecher Beecher was authorized to see
Tilton, who said he thought no action
would be taken against Tilton by the
church, and informed Beecher he had been
Tilton in reference to his position in the
Woodruff matter Beccher replied that lie
was very busy then, but would meet the
committee in about three weeks Beecher
said this testimony rested on the evidence
of two VS., that it any person of re-
sponslblity made these attacks, West
would see how soon Beechcr would dispose
of them witness said Tlton was n respon
sible person, and if he put faith in these
stories he should be withheld from the
church when Vests charges were submit
ted to the committee; Deecher told him he
had taken the right course, but he thought
this was not a proper time to submit
| charges, many members being absent in
the country when Bcecher spoke to West
his tone was angry and threatening
Franklin Woodruff, of the firm of
Woodruff & Robinson, was next called.
He remembered the interview at Tracys
office between Moulton, Tracy and himself,
! in reference to matters growing cut of the
scandal. The witness was asked what
took place at that interview, but this was
objected to on the ground that Beecher was
not then present. A long argument en-
sued, tho counsel for the prosecution ar
guing that the proceedings at the inter-
view were carried to Beecher and so be-
came evidence against him. The argument
was still on when the court adjourned.

The Edgefleld County Troubles.
CHARLESTON, :. c., Jan.

CHARLESTON, ). o., Jan. ~.
Judge T. C. Mackey, republican, who
was sent by Gov. Chamberlain to investi-
gate the recent troubles in Edgefeld coun-
ty, has made report in which he lays the
blame chiefly upon the gross abuses in coun-
ty government. He declares that no Eng
lish-speaking people have been subjected to
a like infliction since the Saxon wore the
Norman collar. lie says officers of the
colored militia have been in the habit of
calling out their men whenever personal
quarrel arose between white and black
men, and the constitution gives to the gov
ernor alone power to call out militia, He
recommends the immediate disarmament
and disarming of the militia. Gov. Cham
berlain will act upon bis recommendation.

Civil Rights Bill.

New York. Jan. 81.
The republican members of the house
were in caucus several hours last night. 1t
was agreed that the civil rights bill, which
was committed in the early part of the SEES
sion to the judiciary committee, should be
reported back to-day, and that it should be
kept before the house till action could be
had upon it. If the democrats attempt TO
defeat action by fillibustering, it was agreed
that the house shall be held in continuous
session, to sit it out. This course will be
tried the rest of the week, and if the bill
has not been acted upon by that time there
will be another caucus to determine future
action. This was the understanding in
caucus, but so many attempts by the eau
Gus to control party action have failed that
the success of this programme must not be
confidently expected.
The national committee of the civil rights
league (colored) have presented an address
to the senate committee on judiciary, de-
handing the passage of the senate bill in
its entirety, and the admission of colored
persons to all schools, hotels and public
conveyanccs, etc.

of three feet.
