FIRE. An incendiary FIRE occurred
IN Norwich Sunday night, about a mile
from the village, The barns and out
buildings of Mr.. Samuel Sproat were
burned with contents, including So
fleeces of wool belonging to his son, Jas.
S, Sproat, several wagons, carts, har-
nesses, DC. The fire was discovered
about L o'clock. A COW, horse and pig
were saved with much difficulty; the
balance of the contents we're consumed.
The incendiary is believed to be young
er son Of Mr.. Sproat, who has formerly
caused the family much trouble, and
who has threatened similar mischief.
His friends have been in great anxiety
concerning him for several days past and
have tried to have him arrested, and he
has been arrested and committed to Jail

BRATTLERoRo.

The Estey Guard returned from their
excursion to Philadelphia, on Saturday,
and were given handsome reception at
the Brattleboro House. AT the tables
were many of the prominent citizens of
Brattleboro, and after the repast short
speeches were made. Among those
present, besides the military were Hon.
Jacob Estey, Hon. B. ID. Harris, Hon.
R. w. Clarke, the editors of the local
press, Hon. G. X. Field, Col. Haskins
and others. The Estey Guard appear
to have made very favorable impress
sion at Philadelphia by their efficiency
as a military company.
The celebration of the Fourth was
very successful. Charles X. Field made
a very interesting address bringing out
local history. OF the accidents during
the day the Phenix says, that as Miss
Fanny Bentley, an employee of the asy-
lum was on her way home at the conclu-
sion of the fireworks, she received the
discharge of powder from small can
non fired near the water house on Oak
street, upon her right side. A portion
of her clothing was blown off and her
shoulder, hip and face were somewhat
burned.
In the afternoon a farmer from an
outlying town picked up large fire
cracker which had been thrown down in
Main street and seemed unlikely to ex.
plode. As he attempted to put it in his
pocket, however, it went off and burned
the skin from the palm of his hand.
About noon a lighted fire cracker
found its way into the basement of Che
ney d Clapp's store and caused thick
smoke among the loose material there
but the fire was fortunately discovered
in season to prevent serious damage.
The Phenix of last week had very
creditable reports of the various cele
brations in this county.

The lightning struck the fine residence
of A. b. Hewett, during the shower
Tuesday afternoon of last week. For
tunately none of the family were injured,
and the damage to the building was very
slight. The pipes, which distribute the
water throughout the house, conducted
the electric fluid from the reservoir in
the attic down into one of the chambers
and out of the side of the house.

SINGULAR INCIDENTAL fearful thun-
der storm passed over Bradford, in this
State, on Monday, during which there
occurred an incident of interest to med
ical science. Some years ago Mrs. Har-
vey I'll. Nourse stood in the door of her
farmhouse when the lightning struck a
tree in the yard only few feet from
her 1t gave her severe shock, but
did not PROSTATE her. Since then she
has been unusually sensitive to the pres
ence of electricity, so much so that she
has invariably been able to tell in adj
vance when there would be thunder
storm. Then she could feel strong
current of electricity, more or less pain
full, passing along the course of her
nerves as distinctly as if she had hold
of the wires of galvanic battery. Early
to-day she said to a friend, "There will
be heavy shower to-day" This sens
alton of electricity passing up the nerves
of her limbs increased to such degree
as to completely destroy consciousness
while sitting at the dinner table. She
was Immediately laid on bed and a
physician called, who did all that skill
could do for nearly or quite one hour
and half, when consciousness slowly
returned, but left her PROSTATE.

CAMBRIDGEPoRT.

Inasmueh as the people were able to
have an enjoyable Fourth from their own
efforts, and partakers of that enacted by
the people of Grafton, we feel it pleas.
ant duty to acknowledge the assistance
rendered by others in making the day
ever to be remembered. II afforded us
pleasure on nearing home to extend a
vote of thanks to Messrs. Butterield
and Smith for means for propelling the
Centennial car and ornamentation of
the same; to Mr.. Butterfeld and Dea.
Fay for opening doors during shower,
and preparation of suitable drink for
the thirsty and to the people generally
who met us on our way, escorting us to
our camp and otherwise affording us en-
joyment during our stay. Those from
Athens who helped to swell our num-
bers, means of conveyance, and music,
not only obtained our hearty cheers,
but our thanks, and we hope to have
their presence at the Port whenever
there is play day. Praise is due to
to many of our numbers. Should any
feel they could have done more, we say
be ready every day, and particularly on
the 4th of July, 1876.
Although the small assessment neces-
sary on the stock holders of the Centen-
NAL Car Co., was essential this year, we
are able to report the company in a
sound and fourishing condition. The
ease and rapidity in which the trip was
made must assure its patrons of Its ulti-
mate success. The company feel sure that
by the addition of dining-room it will
meet the wants of the travelling public
and still accommodate upwards of 20
persons, without the sleeping car, which
they will provide for the nert centennial
SEC. c. c. COMPANY.
The Centennial Fourth was an enjoy
able occasion. The people turning out
with team of four yoke of oxen and
corresponding carriage 40 feet in length
with martial music and colors flying
proceeded to Grafton, where they had
been invited to unite with the people il
expressions of patriotism and love tt
country> Refreshments we're slowed
away in baskets and pals, for which
they found table in readiness and al
were beautifully supplied with food fol
the inner man, and in the grove near b,
were held the literary and patriotic ex
ercises of the day; all united in joyfu
acc,amations. With the company wer
three brothers by the name of Wymar
whose father was revolutionary soldier
and whose ages respectively are 81, s
and ~. Also a cousin of the sam
name whose age is 80, and none in tn
gathering enjoyed the exercises moi
than these.
