A DIsGRAcEFUL HoAx.-A telegram
ceived by the captain of the militia company at
Middlebury, one day last week, purportng to
come from Rutland and signed by the civil au-
thority of that place, stating that riot was in
progress there, and calling upon his company for
immediate aid. The company promptly turned
out, drilled until train time, but were refused
transportation by the conductor, who declared the
whole thing to be farce, as it afterwards proved
to be. Perhaps the perpetrator of this hoax was
smart, but we don't see it.
