either of them could tell the story Of
George Washington and his little

began to tell the story, and was lis
tened to most attentively by the
dozen or more of the class, One
little fellow who had given the most
careful attention, turning his head a
little one side, his bright eyes snap

expression upon his face, exclaimed,

Tho PainloSS Death.

In q recent holiday lecture at tho
Royal institution, Prof. Tyndall,
speaking of tho painless death by
electricity, remarked that Franklin
was twice struck senseless Ivy tho
shock Flo afterwards sent tho dis
charge of two large jars through
six robust men, who fell to tho
ground and got up .gain without
knowing what had happened, neither
hcaling nor feeling the discharge /;
and Pricstlcy, too, who made many
valuable contributions to electricity,
received the charge Of two jars, but
did not find it painful. Prof. Tyn~
dali said this experience agreed with
his own, that in the presence Of an
audience, he once received the dis
charge Of a battery of fifteen Ley
den jars. Unlike Franklm's six
men, he did not fall. but like them,
no felt nothing he was simply OK
tinguished for Il sensible interval.
This may be regarded as M expert.
mental proof that people killed by
lightning suffer no pain. Now, the
measured velocity of electricity is
many thou sands times greater than
the measured velocity of sensation in
the nerves. Hence the electrical
concussion reaches the ccntre Of life
without any possible announcement
by the eye or ear or sense Of feeling.
There is abundant evidence that
death by rifle ball travcrsing the
brain is for the same reason entirely
without consciousness or pain. \
rifle ball, however. is y tortoise com
pared with the electric flash.

II. w. Hudson has been compelled to
follow the footsteps of his neighbors,
and go into bankruptcy. This is the
result of indorsing other peoples paper.
o. B. Cutting, who is badly ''stuck"
on Gould's and WOodward's paper,
hopes to effect an arrangement with his
creditors, so as to continue in business
which we hope he may be able to do.
There has been great rush to the
stores of S. S. Gould and Woodbury. &
Russell, during the past few weeks, to
get goods at the ruinous prices, at
which the assignees have been selling
them. 1t is a question whether the
interests of the parties concerned war
rant the selling of good staple goods at
two thirds or three-fOurths what they
can be purchased for in market, but we
suppose this is the inducement offered
for people to purchase. The question
might well be asked, if the best of the
stock is sold so, what the poorer part
would bring?
At a meeting of the creditors OF
Woodbury. g. Russell, held some time
since, w. & R., after a very close and
careful invoice of their assets and liabil-
tiles, and what they could reasonably
hope to be able to pay, offered the
creditors thirty per cent. cash down
and five per cent. more in two years
This was not accepted by majority o.
creditors, thus leaving Woodbury. &
Russell no other alternative but the ole
and tedious process of bankruptcy, an6
the creditors to take the dividend de-
clared. This is likely to prove lucky
thing for Woodbury. & Russell, for ac
cording to the present indications, will
the low prices likely to be realized fo
the real estate and personal property
with the great depreciation in the value
of their notes and accounts, the credi
tors may think themselves fortunate
they get twenty-five per cent. of thei
claims.

McIndoe's Falls.
The ''Black Hills" excitement stirs
this community to a certain extent.
We understand a party of about fifty
men are intending to start for that
region in short time. This expedition
furnishes a topic for conversation
wherever bevy of,men are collected.
We opine that if the same time which
is expended in relating the fabulous
stories that are set afloat by ''those
scheming Ones" should be spent in
judicious labor here in Vermont, they
would be far better off than they would
be to go to the land of gold.
j. A. Sutherland, having in a measure
recovered from his injury received at
the mill here, has gone to look after his

D. N. Estabrooks, Esq, of Maine, has

looking after the interests of the old
McIndoe's Lumber Company.
We understand-and conclude from
the present indicatioDs-that DR.. o. j
Gilchrist is arranging with DR.. Week:
of Danville, for the occupancy of his
premises at McIndoe's. The location
is central and quite desirable.

Coasting in the Streets.

How would it do to give the boys
one hill in the village to slide upon
say Central and Cliff streets, from Mr..
McCoTmick's to the Lumber yard
posting up suitable signs, warning the
travelling public against using that hill
as thoroughfare Some such thing
must be done, or the boys will have to
go into the fields.
P.S.-We have received this morning
communication from we'll known
citizen, making an appeal to the au-
thorities in behalf of the boys, and en-
larging upon the very same suggestion
we have made above. He urges the
healthful exercise, the keeping of oul
boys out of questionable places of re-
sort, and the shOrtness of the remaining
cOasting season. If our columns were
not already full we should print the
letter entire. We presume petition
properly signed would secure the boys
all the privileges they need.
