Charles Clarkson, a deaf and dumb
man who lives on Springside Avenue, near
s. b. Rockwell's residence, was struck by
an engine on the Rutland and Washingr
ton railroad. between Pawlet and Rupert,
last Tuesday. He was walking with his
back to the train and the engineer blew
the whistle several times. expecting that
he would step from the track. The train
Stacked up as soon as possible, but not in
season 20 save him. He was struck and
knocked upon the pilot. receiving
cut over his eyes and having his leg bro.
ken. He was taken in the express car
and made as comfortable as possible till
the train reached Salem, when he was
placed 10 the care of a doctor. lie
seemed quite comfortable and will prob.
ably recover. Clarkson has a wife and
three children and is spoken Of as an hon.
est and industrious man, obtaining his
support from the sale Of some notions of
his own make, which he peddlcd about
the country on foot.
The other night about midnight,
citizen on North Pleasant street was
walked by his wife. who had been disturbed
by the dog growing at the back door.
He sleepily wanted to be let alone. but as
the dogs demonstrations continued, he
got up and opened the door to let the
animal out The canine went joyously,
and instantly the unlucky midlothian
was conscious ola powerful aroma per-
vading the atmosphere about there, and
retreated after closing the door upon the
dog and his odoriferous victim. His sense
Of smell was probably somewhat para.
lysed by the attack, so that he was not
conscious that the lower part Of his night
shirt had received liberal portion of the
eff1uvium, and he went back to bed. The
next morning he came into our Office and
wanted us to post his wife for leaving his
bed. But we refused to do it.
No doubt all parents will agree that
one of the most delightful and soothing
sights in the world is that of their boys
learning to smoke. A little boy about
two feet and half high looks so manly
and digui6ed when loading about the
street corners putting away at cigar and
keeping sharp lookout for his folks that
it must be most pleasing to all friends of
youth to know that the means for getting
started on this road to noble manhood are
now to be had for cent apiece Form.

sent on an errand to the store, surrepti.
tiously retained five cents from the change
for the purchase Of cigar, the conse.
quent high cost of the groceries he
brought home was apt to excite parental
suspicious, leading to investigation and
exposure of the independent commercial
procivities of the boy. But cigarette
