HOUSES PoINT.-For unbrokon cold, as
well as for quantity of snow. the memory
of our "oldest inhabitant" has been sorely
taxed for parallel to the weather of the
last month. Railroad travel has been great
ly impeded, timetables were useless. and
Tor several days and nights the snriek OF
the locomotive whistle was quite rarity.
During the past week. however. the tracks
Of the several roads have been tolersbly
cleared and folks are again able to come in
and get out. The depth of snow on the
level Is estimated at from four and half to
five feet. 1t is the general hope on all
hands that We have seen the hardest OF our
Winter weather. Business Of every kind
has been, since the holidays, at a stand
still. Very little numbering in the back
woods, this Winter, IS reported.
The Point is not without its scandals.
Week before last, one unfortunate woman
after giving birth to an :llegitimate child,
died suddenly,-so suddenly indeed that
many distressing stories went flying through
the air, with which the names of several
prominent citizens were connected in not
very enviable manner. In fact. charges
Of foul play and criminslity had gone to
such length that it is said the authorities
had determined to institute d thorough in
yestigation OF the affair, when all eyes and
ears were suddenly diverted to sensation
No. two.
On Thursday, villager lodged informa
ton before the proper authorities. to effect
that on the night previous his wife assisted
at the birth OF an Legitimate child to his
neighbor's eldest daughter. u rather pre-
possessing young woman of about twenty
wears that alter the departure of his wife
from his neighbor's house, he hal good
reason to believe the infant had been foully
dealt with and its body concealed about the
premises A constable repaired to the
house and demanded from the father of the
girl the body OF the child After some hcsit-
alton the constable was taken to an adjOin-
ing barn, and in u box dug from the ground
was found the body of u fine healthy child.
This discovery caused great excitement.
At an inquiry before justice. conducted by
District-Attorney Kellogg, the father of the
young woman admitted to placing the body
where it vas found, having been informed
by his wife, that it had died u natural death.
The Investigation is TO he continued. You

RAILROAD ACCIDENT ON THE HARLEM EY-
TESsIoN.-The night train on the Central
Vermont Harlem Extension Division) COM
ing north. met with an accident just north
of Dorset about 5 a. m, Wednesday. The
train was behind time but was not running
more than fifteen miles an hour. when
rail broke under the engine as it is thought.
None of tho cars. however, left the track
excep. the rear sleeping-car, which ran of
and instantly upset There were in it four
passengers only, Mr.. j. G. Hindes.
OF Vergennes Mr.. John Fair. of
Montreal W. Kane, OF New York. and
B. L. Benedict. of Brooklyn. None were
seriously injured. Mr.. Hindes got bruised
shoulder. Mr.. Fair black eye. and the
porter scratch on his face. One end of
the car was torn open and everything in
side was thrown into heap. As was re-
marked by one OF the train men afterwards:
at seemed little less than miracle to have
SIX men crawl out of such heap unhurt."
That the smash-up was no worse was due to
the fact that tho couplings broke instantly
and that the car struck in bank
of snow, so that it was not dragged
far; two rails were torn up by it.
and the broken one was found in a num-
Der of pieces. Conducto. Paris was stand
ing at the door Of the passenger car in front
of the sleeper. and says the upsetting OF the
sleeper was almost instantaneous. He rushed
back with the brakemen, not expecting to
find person alive and with commendable
forethought at once put out the fire in the
stove. with snow. Only two boots could
be found in the wreck; but the train.men
and other passengers furnished some snoe
coverings for the bare-footed ones and on
arriving at Rutland. new shoes were pro-
vided by the railroad officials.
Too much praise cannot De given to Con-
ductor PARIS and his men for their prompt
ness and efficiency and the passengers
have reason to feel devoutly thankful for
their escape.
