CHESTER.

The Thanksgiving ball at N o. John
sons Central hotel, is deserving of some
thing more than passing notice, it hav-
ing proved to be the most successful in
point of numbers and of general tone,
of any affair of the kind which has oc-
Cured in this town or vicinity for many
years. Over sixty couple attended. The
music by Peabody's band of six pieces
far excelled the highest expectations of
their warmest friends and we venture
the assertion. that for quality of music,
skill Of execution, and clearness OF
prompting, this band cannot be excelled
by any nor equaled by more then one or
two bands in the State. The large com
modious rooms of the house gave every
guest ample accommodation. Mr.. John
son and his popular assistant, Mr.. Sew
all j. Muzzey, were all attention to the
wants Of their guests, and provided a
supper upon this occasion that rivalled
in completeness, taste and excellence,
the best successes in that line for which
this house is so celebrated.
A liquor seizure was recently made
here which has caused some excitement.
Several barrels Of liquor were found at
the depot marked T. w. Hunt & Co.
and S. ID. Curtis One of the barrels,
when it arrived was marked to Gardner
Brewer, but some persons removed the
card bearing that name and substituted
one with the name of Hunt & Co. Par
ties living in Boston appeared by coun-
sci and claimed the liquor. A hear
ing was given last Tuesday at the Ches-
ter House before Justice F. w. Marsh,
who adjudged the liquor forfeited, and
ordered it turned over to G. d. Barton,
the town liquor agent, from which decis-
ion the claimants appealed. State At
torney Walker of Ludlow appeared for
the State, and Hugh Henry and J. L.
Martin for the claimants
Our worthy townsman, R. P. Pollard,

DIR. C. Adams Gray, has been appoin-

A. NJ. Tenney, breakman on the Cen

was unmarried and "a years of age.
One of the employees of Estey & Co,
on the day he received notice that his

that his rent would be Increased, and re-
garding this as too much of good thing

There is considerable talk on the street
of harness affair. A year or two since
Mr.. Folsom had gold plated harness
stolen and 10 trace of it was found till
some days since when piece of the har-
ness was brought to the shop for repairs,
Il -. "a 500, ;Jont;EoJ nc a r1;ooo &c 4bo
lost harness which had been manufac-
tured at that shop. This led to a search
by an officer for the whole harness which
was found, and as we learn, deposited in
lawyers office, from which place it
soon after mysteriously disappeared, and
it is regarded as pretty certain that that
harness will have a resting spell from
use in Brattleboro at least. The man
supposed to have stolen it is said to be
sufficiently wealthy to have had the
whole harness made of gold.
The sewer question occupies much at
tention in Brattleboro at the present
time 1t appears that on Main street a
sewer was built, the use of which was
wanted by all those whose real estate it
passed, and each paid their proportion
of the expense. 1t appears also that by
order of the village bailiffs sewer has
now been built on High Street, and they
have assessed all the people on that
street to pay for it, which has very nat
urally created friction, as it is claimed
that only about one in eight of the fam
lilies on that street wanted sewer, and
these refuse to pay, the assessment be-
ing only the moderate sum of $1,000.
The question has also been raised that
sewers are nuisance in any form, and
so regarded by the best informed, Great

Alvin Taylor has taken $50 lbs of
honey from six swarms of bees the past
season, besides leaving enough for them
to feed on through the winter.
The following is from the Proctorsville
correspondent of the Rutland Herald !:
During the brief season of the Indian
summer in the autumn that has Just
been superseded by this early winter, the
surviving children of Abel ellison (who
at an early day settled in Reading)
held reunion here, visiting on alternate
days at the residence OF Dea. Surry Ross
who married daughter of Abel ellison,
and at the residence of Josiah ellison,
Esq. Including the husbands and wives
of the immediate family, there were
seven Of them, and their united ages
were 553 years. The oldest Mrs. Hepsi-
bah White aged 81 years, resides here.
Josiah ellison aged 81 and his wife,
Vesta Wright ellison, aged 80, and Mrs.
Prudence Clark, the widow of Reuben
Clark formerly of Rutland, now of Sterl-
ing, H., aged so years, and Tryphena
Kneeland, wife of Abner Kneeland of
Owego, n. Y aged 70 years, came once
more to take the last lingering look per-
haps upon their native mountains Dea.
Surry Ross, aged 10 and his wife Betsy
ellison Ross, aged rs, made up the COM
plement. As one saw these quiet "chil-
dren" thus enjoying themselves, passing
along our streets, or at the tea table, or
in the dining hall, the emotion of thank
fulness would swell the heart that the
days of these good people had been so
long in the land which the Lord their
God had given them

PANTHER HUNT.


Friday Nov. 10, an exciting hunt
took place in West Wardsboro, for a
bear, but ended 10 the capture of a
panther The final contest was very
exciting. He was first discovered in a
tree when S. S. Perry instantly fred and
the animal fell, wounded in the breast,
and as he fell it broke one fore leg, as
otherwise the contest which continued
would have made hot work for the hun
tiers As the animal struck the ground
the dogs pounced upon him. He knock
ed the dogs to a distance and leaped
into the air, striking some fifteen feet
away He tried to leap into tree, but
his fore claws refused to hold. Both
dogs followed up their attack, until they
were some forty rods from where it
commenced. Here was a thicket, and
the panther made for it. Mr.. Fl B
johnson, forgetting fear, grabbed the
beast by the tail, and called for help
Perry responded, and grabbed with him
The panther leaped over the boys into
the brush, the men retaining their hold.
The panther attempted to turn and fight.
Johnson's revolver now came into play,
and five pistol balls were lodged in the
beasts head. His bind legs were then
tied to tree, and he was finally dis
patched with a pocket knife and cudgel.
1t weighed 105 pounds, and it is proposed
to stuff and preserve him.
