into consideration" and that was substantially
the first interview. At some later interview
with Moulton the conversation was that Triton
had bound himself in the presence OF witnesses
that if / would publish that he would De con-
tent, and MoultOn told me that if Tilton gave
any trouble he would take sides with me and
smash him. He often spoke of his power over
Tlton and said he could grind him to pow
equivOcal expression Offence" after the publ
cation of the Bacon letter. Moulton thought
the Bacon letter had not brought things to a
crisis l said it had and matters should be
looked into to the bottom. This card looked
like its being intended to be read to the church,
but didn't much look into it as the opening
phrase was an effectual barrier to its being
used any way. 1t may easily have happe ned
that Moulton proposed submitting this card to
Tracy and that approved OF doing so before
the Bacon letter, but have no recollection OF
it.
After that date was indisposed to submit
ting any card proposed to Tracy. l have nc
distinct recollection of any such statement as
that Moulton told me he had shown the card
to Tracy, who said, Il have committed nc
crime" was really not a denial of adultery,
which was not crime at law The objection ]
made to the word Offence in the card was
that every one was at liberty to make what he
liked of Offence" and they would certainly
make it improper advances, and / would have
nothing to do with a card that would so mis-
LEAD tne puOllc w nat was understood by me
by that Offence" was improper advances, and
il was only from Redpath understood that the
charge of adultery was part of this plan.
In regard TO the West charges, L never re-
member TO have read them l knew what they
were In the spring, when the matter was first
brought out, understood they were charges
against Tilton for circulating what are called
the Bowen ISLANDERS against me. In regard to
the third charge, that involved charges OF
advances to Mrs. T., | had no way of knowing
anything about it then. No knowledge was
conveyed to me beyond the charge of improper
advances. The attention of the witness being
called to certain statements in Tilton's testi-
mony, he answered: Tilton never told me that
West told him he originally believed him guilty
of ISLANDERS, but now believed l was guilty, or
at least acting as an innocent man would not
act. l remember no such thing, sir. The end
of all this matter was at the meeting of the
church, when L was present, and Tilton made
some observation,lin October, 1873 1 can't give
a very detailed statement without giving a
statement Of the position in which we had
come III our church deliberations. 1t was Fri
day night meeting Motion was made to drop
the name OF Tilton from the roll and as |
advised Moulton and him of this, he was there
and asked permission to make remarks. The

ATHENS.

ing wild heifer chase in Athens. A two
years old heifer, running in pasture in
Athens during the summer and belong
ing to Henry S. Wheelock of Grafton,
was found to be so wild when snow came
as to make it difficult TO get her to the
barn, so much so that after several trials
to get her Mr.. Wheelock finally sold her
as she was to Mr.. W. Wyman who was
to take his own chance. She would run
and bound like deer, hide behind hills
and in thickets, and all efforts to get her
failed till near the 18th of December
when the final chase came off in which
eight men participated. She ran over
the ground as before and in one instance
made straight run across an open field
direct for Mr. G. E. Boynton who, though
having no club or. other weapon, tried to
turn her, but as her charge was direct
and overwhelming y impetuous he wisely
gave her the way, his position at first no
doubt being one of much risk. At length,
late in the afternoon, the chase brought
her to point where she slipped, and so
near one of the men that he instantly
jumped upon her. She instantly gathered
up and carried him on her back for a
short distance, when another of the par
ty came up and with the others she was
soon overpowered and forced to a barn,
where she is doing well, but has lost
much flesh. The days chase was very
exciting and the particulars would fill
column, and equal the best chases of the
North West Fur Co.

On New Years evening an accident
occurred at the house of Rev. Joseph
Barber which was narrow escape from
serious disaster. A party of sixty had
assembled for donation visit, and after
partaking of refreshments, the presents
were placed on a table and several
speeches appropriate to the occasion were
making merry the guests, when suddenly
the floor gave way and precipitated thir-
ty persons into the cellar. One side
broke in advance Of the other, forming
an inclined plane, and thus all the chairs,
sofas, tables, and two broken kerosene
lamps and people slid into one pile a
burning lamp-wick was snatched up and
thrown aside just in season to prevent a
confiagration. The miscellaneous mix
ture found themselves in darkness as
well as heavily laden by several persons
of two hundred lbs. each, being at the
top of the heap; other inmates of the
house went into the cellar and assisted
in setting this confusion to order. NJ
merous rights and narrow escapes are
related, but strange to say few scratches
and bruises are to be found in evidence
of the catastrophe. The cause of the
accident was due to worm-eaten timber
and dry rot. The house is the parsonage
of the Universa&ist society and will soon
be thoroughly repaired.
