Saturday evening. Austin W. White, clerk
at the Farmers Hotel, was killed by pass
ing freight train, near what is known as
Evelyn street crossing. lie had been up
the track q short distance to pasture to
milk cow, and was returning with pail
walking on the outside of the track usually
taken by freight trains entering the yard,
when by some mistake he stepped upon the
track in front of the train and was struck
and thrown under it by the deadwood Of
the engine. The engine and five cars pass
ed over him, and when the principal portions
of the body were afterward gathered up,
about twenty four feet beyond, nothing but
e::hesd and shoulders and one leg bore
semblsnce. to human form. No blame can
be attached to any one for the accident.
Deceased was Al years old, the owner of
some property, of good habits, and honora-
Bile in his dealings His remains were
buried Sunday afternoon. his funeral being
held at the Methodist church.

LINCOLN.-Eastman Arnold, who was as
saulted last Monday by James Moody and
stabbed three times, is doing as well as can
be expected lie will probably be laid up
a month or two. The wound 10 the back is
the most severe, being about four inches
long; and if the knife had not fortunately
struck rib it would have gone deep into
the lung. lie has considerable trouble
about breathing and has to lie exclusively
on the right side and keep in one position
to avoid violent inter cOstal spasms. Mr..
Moody was arrested and put under 5000
bonds to appear at county court in
December. He very readily got bail and
will quite probably get clear, as
it appeared from the evidence that
during their hard words, Arnold struck
Moody the first blow on the head with his
fist, when Moody. who stood whiting a
stick. struck him with the knife. disabling
Arnold's hand, and making the wounds III
the chest and back about the same time
caused Arnold to retreat from the scuiiie.
Moody has usually been considered quiet,
peaceable fellow, but for some reason he
and Arnold have had little unpleasantness
for some time, arising it is said from We
men gossip, in the first place on the part OF
Mrs Moody about Arnold conduct, which
Arnold stouty resented. Moody and Ar
mold had hard words whenever they met
Arnold killed some of Moody's geese and
80 on until it nearly became a tragedy
The whole affair Is disgraceiul and
disgusting from beginning to end and
we hope nothing similar will ever
occur again in the vicinity. Drs. llier
and Prime dressed Arnold's wounds and
both express the opinion he will soon re
cover Arnold is at Albert Purrinter's in
Lincoln where he had been employed on the
farm. 1t this scrape does not learn both
him and Moody lesson OF patience and
forbearance We shall think they are fool,
sure. \.

BENNINGTON AND RUTLAND RAILWAY Con-
PANY.-At a meeting Of the directors OF
this company, held III Bennington, August
20, the following officers were elected !;
President, A. B. Gardner; Clerk, Geo. W.
Harmon Treasurer, Charles E. Houghton.
Monday morning, a notice was served on
Mr. Park by the Central Vermont company
that itwould not operate the Harlem E1ten-
ton between Bennington and Chatham after
Monday night. During the day the Cen
trail Vermont removed the rolling stock and
settled with the employees. There were no
trains over that road Tuesday. The Cen
trail Vermont continues to run the road be-
tween Rutland and Bennington, and will do
so until ten days notice is given by the
Bennington and Rutland company to sur
render the road. The Central Vermont is
busy taking away the side tracks which
were laid down for the celebration travel.
The Rutland Globe predicts a railroad
war.
Tue result of the city meeting, Tuesday,
was very decided refusal to authorize the
Board of Aldermen to contract for supply
ing the city with water from the river.
four hundred taxpayers, who for intelli-
gence. sound sense, and substantial interest
in the welfare of the city. will certainly
compare well with any other portion of our
population, voted for the change to the
river. But the leading lake men were able
to make use of the Democratic party ofour
city. and did so without scruple. The rank
and file of that party were told that the
river project was Republican scheme, of a
Republican Board of Aldermen; and were
marched up en- mdsse to oppose it. As
there were many Republicans whose inter-
ests or prejudices made them lake men, of
course that settled the matter. There was
no check list or effective safeguard against
double voting. and lake carried the day
against river. steam against water power,
expense against economy. The present
consequence is tina. we must continue TO
take our bay water from the face of the
docks. and pump it in the most expensive
way. But we are not without hope that
the time will come. when the poorest of our
voters will see that this river project is a
scheme for has benefit. as well as for the
general welfare that it means lower taxes
and cheaper water. and more takers, and in
crease of manufactures and other good
things in which he has direct and vital
interest, and when he will refuse to be used
to defeat his own best interests.

1t was a matter of pride to every Yer
monter worthy of the name. that our State
possessed body of citizen soldiery, so well
appointed and efficient as our First Regi-
ment showed itself to be, at Bennington.
No organization contributed more to the
success of the Centennial celebration. The
fine order of its camp. the good behavior
of the men, and the appearance of the
regiment on parade. on guard. and in drill,
won very high compliments from many
strangers, officers of the regular army,
veterans of the lat, war and officers in the
militia of other States and of Canada, whose
praise is worth something in military mat
tiers. While each man in the regiment is
entitled to his share of the praise thus &C
corded, it is undertaking no one to say that
the chief credit for the condition Of the
regiment has been due to its commander.
Col. 7. S. Peck. lie has infused good
share of his own interest IN the formation
of an efficient militia into the officers and
men of his command; and in attention to
its interests and labor for its welfare he has
been ndefatigable. lie has been ably sec
onded by his subordinate officers; and with
such veteran field and line officers As
Lieutenant Colonel Greenleaf, Major. Carr.
Captains Henry, Newton. Williams and
others; with so large a sprinkling of veter-
ans in the companies and with such an
amount of good material in the rank and
file, NO one can doubt that the regiment
would render as good an account OF itself IN
action as it does on the parade ground.
We may add that those who strive to
arouse jealousies between our militia and
the veteran soldiers, not only do the public
poor service, but they mistake the temper
of the veterans The soldiers of the late
war, so far as we have observed, give hearty
encouragement and good will to the militia.
They are glad that the State is not in tho
condition in which the last war found 1t,
without an organized regiment to send to
the defence of the Capital. Many of them
have taken hold to help make our National
Guard what it should be. And the prompt
and cordial way in which the men OF the
First regiment extended the shelter and
hospitality of their camp to the vets who
found insufficient accommodations provided
for them on their arrival at Bennington,
showed that they reeprOcate this good
feeling.

found that death, like thief, had during the night
previous, silently entered the residences Of Mr..
James Rogers of Westford, and extinguished the
life of his venerable father, Mr.. Thomas Rogers
lie was found with placid countenance and folded
arms in the sleep that knows waking. This
gentleman was among the oldest in the town, and
stood only second in point of time on the roll Of the
living members Of the Congregational church. lie
was 50 years old and had resided in WestfOrd g
years, and on the old farm where he died for
the greater part of the time. 1t can truly
be said, he was honest, exemplary,
worthy Christian man firm in his friend
ships, and true to his convictions. He married in
early life Hannah Rice, daughter OF Samuel Rice,
$50 long and tayorably known in the county, with
whom he lived most happily till February, lS!6,
when she died after long and severe illness. She
was superior Christian woman. OF sterling worth.
The fragrance OF her name and influence will long
remain, not only with her family, hut with all who
knew her. So then, after a brief separation, we
doubt not their reunion has taken place in the re-
gion of the blessed. May their mantle evermore
rest upon their rurviving children. ]. H. W.
