Barnet.
The arbitration between DIR. A. B.
Thompson and the town last Friday
resulted in verdict that the town
should pay $1,000. The Doctors in
juries are proving serious, and he will
be obliged to give up his practice
Some of our readers will recollect that
the Doctor was thrown from his wagon
in Barnet village, last summer, and
severely injured. The horse was fright
ened by some boards spread out by the
side of the road. 1t appeared in evil
dence that the horse was hardly a safe
one; also by the testimony of medical
men, that the injured man would proba-
bly, never recover, but on the contrary
seemed to he failing in health, the direct
result of the injury. Both legal and
medical counsel were called from St.
Johnsbury.
Rev. A. w. Wild from Peacham, ex-
changed with our pastor last Sabbath.
Fred. HOyt, son of j. Q. Hoyt, Esq,
postmaster and tailor here, has made
arrangements to open tailor shop at
Barton Landing, about the first of April
Fred. is an honest, industrious young
fellow, and will do well we think.
By the town report just printed at
the CaledOnian office, we find the liabil-
tiles of the town $4,000, with assets
about 50, 200; leaving an Indebtedness
of 81 ,300-or only about $500 besides
the award just given DR.. Thompson fol
damages upon the highway. The ex-
pense of sustaining town poor, was
81 1871. We notice that "JOhn Fred
erick Adams" yet holds a prominent
place in the town report.
From some remarks we hear,we infel
that there may be little discussion il
town meeting, in relation to the actor
of some of the town officers. 1t seems
that the selectmen have given Robert
Gibson an order for about S195 for ex,
penses in the j. F. Adams case. WheI
the case was tried, Gibson testified thai
the town had no interest in the suit
The query now is why the town should
pay the bills if they have no interest il
the case. The other side claim thai
Gibson had charge of SIS, in last year..
report for council fees, the acceptance
of which bound the town for all tn,
costs of the suit. Some ask, if Gibson
thought the bill belonged to the town
why it was not put into the overseeri
report and submitted to the auditors
same as last year, in which case i
would have come before the town meet
ing for action. The auditors are un
derstood to be divided on the question
two claiming that they ought to repor
the case to the town for action, and on,
claiming that they "can not go back o
the returning board.n

His stock, ETC., were advertised to be

but Sheriff Preston interfered and
moved the property, as it was all under
attachment. Now Mr.. Huse has sued
Preston for trespass. Rumor has it
that Huse has settled with the Ides and
Woods, leaving the fight between Hoag
and Huse. Lawyers must live.

February, 1877.

The coolest inhabitantn never eXpe-
rienced such February as the one
which closed yesterday. Not a storm
of any kind during the month in this
section, and scarcely an uncomfortable
day in the entire %, while the most of
them were sunny and spring-like. This
is so unlike the reputation of the month
heretofore, that its praises have been in
every ones mouth. March comes in
lamb like, though little windy; we
trust it will initiate its immediate pre-
decessOr.

A Surprise Party.

"A surprise rarity.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. R. b.
Flint gave them a surprise visit at their
hOuse-the Cottage Hotel-On Railroad
street, last Friday evening. The ar
engagements were so well perfected that
they knew nothing of them until their
premises were assailed by about eighty
persons. Mr.. and Mrs. Flint were not
slow to comprehend the situation, and
hearty welcome was extended and their
house thrown open for the accommoda-
ton of the party. The affair was very
enjoyable in all its features, and at a
seasonable hour the party withdrew,
leaving behind them many good wishes
and several pieces of silver ware.

More Water.

The Aqueduct Company are putting
a bulk-head into Stiles Pond, and pre-
pairing to connect their pipes with this
great reservoir in the spring. The bulk
head is being built out in the pond,
some 700 feet from the outlet, where
the water is about twelve feet deep,
and is to be connected with the iron
pipe at the outlet by twenty-inch
tube. A dam is also to be built, rails
ing the entire pond of some 60 or rs
acres, from one to two feet. 1t is be-
lieved this will give supply of water
for any emergency, and water too both
soft and pure.

The section men in going over the

found distractions on the track at four
different points, consisting of plank,
boards, poles and wood. Where the
plank and wood were, the obstruction
was sufficient to have thrown an engine
from the track. Perhaps some boys
living in this vicinity, who were known
to have come over the line late Friday
night, may know something about it, if
further information is wanted.

A s.borse fiddle,, Is nsnaIlv r,ade

"A "hOrse fiddle" is usually made by
taking large dry goods box, without
a cover, putting resin on the edges, and
drawing plank or board across the
top. The music made is of a decided
character. The instrument played in
Fairbanks village Monday night was of
excellent tone, though rather monoto-
nous for a serenade. We do not know
why it is called horse fiddle unless
reference to the players is implied.

These "took" amazingly with the au-

much to the enjoyment of the evening
