The New Dog Law.

From the stringent provisions of the
dog law enacted by the late Legislature
it would seem that the dogs of this state
have already chad their day." The
following is summary of it:
The law provides that on or before
the 3lst day of March of each year every
owner of dog shall cause it to be reg
istered, numbered, described and licen-
sed for one year from the first day OF
the ensuing April in the office of the
clerk of the city or town wherein said
dog is kept, and shall cause it to wear
around its neck collar distinctly mark
ed with it's owners name and its regis
tered number, and shall pay for such
license two dollars. The clerk then is
sues the license, and pays the money
over to the town or city treasurer, re-
tanning twenty cents for his services
Parties keeping dogs without registra-
ton are subject to fine of fifteen dol
lars, five dollars of which goes to the
complainant. Warrants are to be is
sued to the various police officers OF
constables directing them to proceed al
once, after the 18th day of May, to kill
or cause to be killed all dogs not licen-
sed, in their respective towns, for which
such officers receive fee of one dollar
each. Parties suffering from the dep
relations of dogs shall, upon applica.
ton to the proper town authorities
have the damage appraised, and receive
a town order for such amount as they
shall adjudge.

Bleeding at the Lungs.

Putnam, Conn, March 90 1869.
Gentlemen-I avail myself of this opportunity to
say word in behalf of DR.. Wistar's Balsans OF
Wild Cherry, which have made use of in my
family for several years, and always with the most
habits, has always been troubled with a hard dry,
hacking cough, whenever taking a little cold and
has employed various specifics without obtaining
any relief until prevailed upon to test the virtues
of WIstar's Bdlsdrn, the effect of which has been
truly astonishing.
More than year ago young man belonging in
this place was taken with most severe cough and
bleeding at the lungs, and finally given over to
die by our best physicians, and it was evident to
all that consumption was claiming him as a victim
Learning these facts, my wife sent him bottle of
the BdLsanl, which he took, and, in due time to
the great establishment of his friends, was at his
accustomed occupation, snatched as it were. from
the very jaws of death. In many other cases we
have administered the Balsans to the consumptive,
and always with the best of success. These state.
ments are simple facts, which can be vouched for
at any time by calling at my store. 1 re.
main, yours truly, JOHN R. DARLING

Wonderful Accident.

The accident to the Montreal express
train on the Rutland road near Pitts
ford, Friday night, was a marvellous
escape. The engine and three cars,
with 40 passengers, ran off the track,
taking the bridge with them, and fall
ing 20 feet and breaking through the
ice a mass of ruins the engine turned
an exact somersault in the fall, but no
one on the train received special injury.
Capt. Ford of Montreal, who, with his
wife, were the only occupants of the
sleeping car, was bruised in the back;
Conductor E. S. Herrick's face was cut
by glass by being thrown through a
window II. ID. Stevens of Rutland,

Death of Hon. Thomas E. Powers.

DR.. Thomas E. Powers died at Wood
stock, the 28th, aged GO years. He had
been a member of both Houses of the
State Legislature, being Speaker of the
House a number of years, and was ac-
knOwledged one of the ablest presiding
officers that body ever had. He was
superintendent of construction on the
building of the State House, and also
superintended the building of the coun-
ty court house in his town. He also
held all the important offices in the
town, and was one of the originators of
the Woodstock railroad, though he af-
terward became a sworn enemy to the
road by reasons of a difference OF
opinion about the route. He had al
ways been an ardent and aggressive
temperance man, and may be rightly
called the originator of the Prohibitory
law in Vermont.

There was a full house at the oyster
supper at the Congregational vestry on
New Years night, and all seemed to
have grand good time. The receipts
were about $33-two-t thirds of the
amount being a gain to the church
fund.
On Tuesday evening some rs people
from this place and vicinity, dropped
in" upon Joseph Ranney and wife, just
to wish them a happy new year, and
remind them that it was the time for
their "wooden wedding" 1t was a
total surprise to the parties, but the
evening was much enjoyed socially, and
the unlimited guests left many tokens
of remembrance in the shape of wooden
ware, and SIS with the father-Rev. T.
E. Ranney, who lives in the same
house.

Royal Aver, formerly of st. Johns
bury, but for several years past resi-
dent of this place, was stricken with
paralysis last Saturday since which
time he has lain in helpless and near
ly unconscious condition. Mr.. Aver
has been an active man, but within a
few years has given up business almost
entirely. He is over seventy years old
and it is thought be can live but short
time.
The 25th anniversary of W. w.
Mack's marriage, was celebrated last
Monday evening by the gathering to-
gether of friends and the presentation
of silver tea-set. Several of Mr..
Mack's old friends and neighbors came
up from st. Johnsbury, and although
taken wholly by surprise, the affair
was no less pleasant and enjoyable.
Rev. Mr.. Bennett presided at two silver
weddings the same evening. The other
being that of Curtis Stevens, ESQ.,, at
the Corner.
"A few days since, an object was seen
passing down Main street, in the rear
of Milo Leach's house. Knowing the
railroad company to be short of water,
we thought perhaps the snow pillow was
being taken out that way but on
nearer approach concluded it was some
sort of pulpit. Watching we soon saw
it cross the track and move up toward
the building of L. F. ShOnyo, when by
the united strength and efforts of half
dozen or more men, and the use of
ropes and pullies, it began slowly to
ascend, where at the height of some
thirty-fve feet it became fixed reality,
where it is now seen standing out in
bold relief, only waiting for sash, glass
and blinds, to become the first window
to grace the beautiful residence of the
builder.
Most of the farmers in this vicinity
have sold their potatoes at prices vary
ing from fifty to seventy-five cents per
bushel. Mr.. Twombly, merchant, has
CARED over twenty thousand bushels.
At the Union Temperance meeting at
the church last Sunday night, Rev. Mr..
Bennett delivered the address, which
together with remarks from Revs. Noyes
and johnson, were highly interesting,
and should have been listened to by
every moderate drinker and moderate
temperance man in the place.

Fashionable Wedding.

The marriage of George Gregory
Smith, Esq.,, the eldest son of ex-Gov-
ernor j. Gregory Smith, to Miss Nellie
Young Stevens, at SlOcum Lodge, Saint
Lambert, opposite the city of Montreal.
Wednesday night, was a grand affair.
A special train of three Pullman cars
and President Smiths private car ''Bel-
levue" went up from st. Adams, carry
ing with it about eighty of the repre-
sentative citizens of the town and their
families; and the leading families of
Montreal were well represented. The
bridal presents were very valuable,
amounting to nearly twenty-five thou
sand dollars. The marriage ceremonies
were performed by Rev. Doctor Cordner,
of the Montreal Unitarian church, as
sisted by Rev. Charles Van Norden, of
st. Adams. The bridal dress, it may
interest our lady readers to know, was
one of exquisite beauty, being of pure
white satin, trimmed with an abundance
of rare lace and flowers. The ceremo-
MES over and the hearty congratulations
OF the guests being given to the happy
couple, the guests for more than two
hours occupied the large dining hall,
where most sumptuous banquet was
partaken of. Speeches were made by
many of the friends of the happy couple.
Hon. Harrison Stevens, of Montreal,
the brides grandfather, returned thanks
for the visit of so many Americans to
Canada upon this suspicious occasion.
Ex-Gov. Smith, in answer to repeated
calls, responded in brief acknowledge
ment of the honor paid him by those
present, and also referred happily to
the occasion.

1t was voted to procure the printing
of the auditors report in the village
papers. Adjourned to first Wednesday
in May.
The above is the action of the village
in brief In addition to report of au-
ditors, N. M. johnson said there were
demands made upon the village for
some 5000, which the Trustees did not
consider valid claims, so no report was
made of them. If these claims prove
valid, it will increase the Indebtedness
so much more. 1t is understood that
the most of these claims are by the
Randalls, Mcleod, and Gay g. Orcutt,
for damage sustained in drawing down
the mill pond last summer when the
water pipe was laid.
When the meeting was ready to elect
Trustees, ballot was called for, and
the meeting was kept ballOting nearly
all the afternoon. Some of the Board
were only chosen after four or five
ballots. AS the new Board stands, the
two first belonged to the old Board. and
the other three are new ones.
There were lis ballots Scast, which
represents about the number of people
present. This would indicate that there
was not the interest manifested one
might expect to see, where nearly a
hundred thousand dollars are at stake,
but we presume a good many staid
away in disgust, not believing it i'm
portant to lock tile stable door after the
horse is stolen.
In comparing the expenses the past
year with that of the previous year, we
find that there is an increase of Ordi-
nary village expenses of just about
$4,000, besides the new water works.
That is, the total expense of 1875 was
s1O,595, and of 1876, $2, 521.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Dolly (Hunting) Kibby, wife of Dea. Philip
W. Kibby of East Burke, VT, died in the quiet of
her home, Dec. 9Th, 1876
She was born in Richmond, Mass, 1884, and was
therefore in her ninety third year at her death.
Mrs. Kibby became a Christian when a child of
only nine years. and for nearly three quarters of
century was a bright and shining light in the
church. Gentle and retiring in manner yet posi-
tive and earnest as follower of Christ, she was
seeking relieve the suffering to sympathize
with the sorrowing but found her highest pleasure
in recommending the gospel which she dearly loved
and daily lived. She was a Jealous advocate of the
Baptist church of which she a worthy and hon.
ored member more than sixty-seven years, but was
ever ready to exercise that Christian charity to-
wards the advocates of other forms of Christian
doctrine which always secured to her friends in the
whole household of faith where she was known.
Though dead, she lives in happy memories
around her home, and though her kind face is no
in the place prayer she is not lost but
has gone before Her life and death were a beauti-
full illustration of the Scripture 'To to live is
Christ and to die is gain"
