CARELEss SHOOTING.

Orleans county, came near having fatal
shooting case on the 9Th. AS Jonathan |
james was returning from his hop field to |
his house for supper. he heard report OF a |
gun, and at the same time ball whizzed
uncomfortably near his head. He had adj |
vanced only few steps further when an
| other ball came from the same direction
very near him. 1t is hard to believe that
there is any one so malicious or wicked in
the community as deliberately to shoot at
neighbour A more charitable view of the
matter is that some one was shooting at
birds or firing at target for practice,
though Mr.. James fears that some one in
imical to him did it purposely.

a permanent fund for the state normal

thousand for the same purpose. This fund
has been subscribed by people in the vicin-
ity, and by old students of the Orange
county grammar school and normal school
mainly.
SOLDIERS REUNION.
The st. Adams Messenger says Owing
to the two disastrous fires at Montpelier,
it will not be entirely convenient for her
people to have the Vermont soldiers re-
union there this year, and it is lntimated
that st. Adams can secure it if she will.
Suppose our Grand Army post and militia
companies consult together upon the sub
jecy and see what course had better be
taktn.
