No liquor agent in Belvidere thr
year and no rum to be sold
- One thousand dollars worth of Ii
quor was seized in Eden ON Monday.
- Workmen are busy clearing away
the debris from the ruins of the fire Of
Saturday last at Montpelier, and build
ing will be Immediately commenced,
Many dead birds have been found
in Fletcher since the snow storm of two
weeks ago; starved probably in conse-
quence of the ground being so deeply
covered.
- The Montpelier Watchmen is by
no means certain that the great fire there
was set by an incendiary and the Free
man sees ono sound reason to believe
that it was other than accidental.
= The ladies of Montpelier have form
ed an organization for the relief of those
destitute persons who were burned out
at the late fire. Mr.. James r. Langdon
made generous contribution of S1oo
10 the cause.
- The slate pencil business at Castle
ton, which was wholly suspended during
the last three or four months, has opened
vigorously, and promises well. The
company now ship from 50,000to 10000
pencils day, besides large quantities of
stone dust.
= A package of gunpowder was found
near the gas works at Montpelier, Mon
day afternoon. Numerous parties con-
meet this fact with the origin of the fire,
a tramp having recently been expelled
from the gas works, who threatened dire
full vengence therefor.
= Mrs. Philander Houghton of Lyn-
don, died very suddenly, last Monday
night She had been apparently as well
as ever through the day, and had at
tended to her work as usual. Some
time in the night, Mr.. Houghton was
walked up by a gurgling noise coming
from his wife's throat. He got up i'm
mediately and sent for the doctor, but
she was dead when he arrived, and her
limbs cold. The doctor concluded she
died instantly, probably with heart dis
ease. Her age was about fifty wears

There is some political tremor with
reference to the meeting of the New
Hampshire legislature. 1t is said the
the democrats intend to count out re-
publican senator, and by this outrage get
possession Of that body and thus save
all their partizan legislation of last year.
The ground on which they propose to
do this is that senator elect Gen. Matt
Head was not correctly voted for, that
his name is Nathaniel This is a
wonderful discovery. There is no pre-
tence that the voters did not mean Gen.
Head, and it appears also that for nearly
aquarter of q century democratic officials
have themselves been in the habit OF
recognizing him as Matt" Head, and
that he has held various official commits
sions under that name, and we shall be
10th to believe that even the democrats Of
New Hampshire intended any such trick
till the outrage is actually committed.

SAD AFFAIR.-A sad affair occurred
at Lowell on the Sd inst, the result of
carelessness. Some little French chill
dren of Frank Kean found small bot
tlein dirt heap containing liquid, which
smelled like peppermint, as they describe
it. Being pleased with the odor they
tasted it and then carried it to their
mother. who herself partook of the con-
tents and gave literally to four of her
children, aged respectively two, six,
eight and ten years This was about
one o'clock, and about two o'clock the
youngest, Levi Ray, was dead, and alarm
ing symptoms were developed in the
others. DIR. G. Henotte was called in
and succeeded in averting fatal sleep
from the rest. The husband did not
imbibe the drug, which proved to have
been morphine.

the other day to remind the public that
street crossings belong primarily to ped
estrians, and only secondarily to vehicles.
By declining to eat things that
you want because they are unhealthy, bv
going to bed early when you want to sit
up, and by making your life wretched in
a thousand ways, you have chance of
living to a ripe old age, if that is anv

A provoking piece of impudence
was recently perpetrated upon Miss Sol
derne, the opera boufie singer, in New
Orleans. A superb bouquet was thrown
upon the stage, and the fair artist, after
smiling sweetly upon the young man
who threw it, stopped to pick it up. Just
before her fingers touched it, it was sud.
denly withdrawn, string having been
attached to it for that purpose. The
gifted youth was heavily fined for his lit
tie performance.

who have more than the ordinary fac1l-

are of similar tenor with late cable dis
patches, viz. To the effect that France
and Germany are fast drifting toward
another war, which will involve the other
great nations of Europe. These writer's
say that the statesmen in France who di-
rect the policy of that nation fully rea-
LIE the danger which they will soon have
to encounter, and are accordingly prepar-
ing themselves for it by rapidly strength
ening their military. One writer says it
has become known to the French govern
ment that Germany is increasing its
armies, and looking threateningly toward
French territory, and that the knowledge
that this information was correct created
alarm in Paris, and caused the authori-
ties there to redouble their efforts to
place the French army on war footing.
The outlook for continued peace through
out Europe, in the opinion of these per-
sons, who are there studying and watch
ing events closely, is very discouraging.

large majority Of the stock has been
gathered into the hands of men who are
opposed to Sage, and so his dismissal is
only question of time. Mr.. Mitchell

he is considered very able fnancier.
He was Vice President of the New York
