Fire at SWanton.

About 8 o'clock Thursday morning a dis
astrous fire broke out at Swanton. The
fire broke out in the post %Cfllce, which is
also used for the United States custom
house, etc which was in q shoIt time total
ly consumed with its contents. The dwell
ling house of Edgar Bullard. adjoining,
WAS also burned, the occupants barely es-
Gaping with their lives. The law office of
Htnry A. Burt, together with its contents,
was consumed. j.. M. Dean & Son lost
rs tubs of butter NJ insurance. Jewett
& Blake, groc4rs, lost 81 900; insured
$4,000 in tho Royal Canadian. Billiards.
dwelling was insured for 50 900, and on
furniture $500 in the Farmers Mutual.
The origin of the fire is supposed TO have
been iocendiary, after the robbinG of the
post office, as the money drawer was found
near the front door when tho citiZ' rs
rushed in to %eXlinguish the fl ,mes. The
grocery store, 1t is stated, was robbed Of q
large amount Of produce. Nothing was
saved from the fire. The wind WAS blow
ing very hard.
The loss by the fire will exceed twelve
thousand dollars. Jewett 81 Blake lOst
their entire stock. The entire contents Of
the post office were lost. The custom house
saved thsir books. The contents of Jewett
& Blake's safe are saved. The village bad
a ire engine which was not In working

Daniel Curtis.

Travellers over the Bennington and Rut-
land railroad, since il was opened more
than q quarter of q century ago, will re-
member a bare headed old veteran who al
ways stood upon tho platform at North
Dorset. lie never wore a hat his long,
flowing, white locks were the only protec-
lion his head ever had, no matter how in
Gle nent the weather. This man was Daniel
Curtis, usually known 40 "Uncle Dan"
He died a few months ago, at the age of SO
years. He was appointed postmaster at No.
Dorset many years ago, and held the office
through all the changes Of administration
until his death. He was always at the
station with his mail when the train
arrived. lie was also, for many years,
the station agent. He did not relish the
idea of having any train pass his station
without stopping. Years ago, when the
first fast express train was put upon the
road betw cen Rutland and Troy, while
Jesse Burdett was conductor, jesse under
took to pass Uncle Dams station without
stopping the train. He did not succeed.
Uncle Dan appeared upon the platform,
waving with great earnestness the flag.
The train stopped. "What ia the matter,
Uncle Dan 2" says Jesse. "Does any one
want to get on2" "No; but my old
oma has just got supper ready, aud l
didn't know but some of the passengers
would like to stop and take tea with us."-

Rev. Aldace Walker, D. D., Resigns
His Passionate.

Rev. DR.. Walker, Of W%allingtord Gent
the following letter Of resignation to the
Congregational church, on Sabbath morn
ing
Dear Brethren and Friends:
The great Head of the church has arrest
ed me in my ministry in the fifteenth year
of my service among you. have not
strength to think nor TO express my
thoughts to any extent, but there are a few
things which it is proper to say just now.
First of all, l would thank you for your
great and increasing kindness towards me
during the whole period of my labor here,
in your prompt compliance with all your
pecunisry obligations towards me, in many
cases far exceeding this; in your belIiy
co operation and sympathy in my labors,
and in your continued al, ction and conf
dence, which | have no reason to believe
are wanting in any individual.
am advised by my physicians that my
disease ia of such a nature that strength
must como slowly. if it evor comc1 and I
am satisfied that If l ehould regain suf-
ucleNl CutIUy 10 perlOtm eOuic vi luc gu
Ties Of ministry, it could never be wise for
Inc TO undertake again the cares, anxieties
and labOrs Incident TO a continued work
among you.
In view Of thsse facts, l think it proper
TO, and DO hereby, tender my resignation
OF the pasto-ste, to take effect at once.
l send this communication now that the
way may be open for you to seek for your
selves another pastor, in which may the
Lord direct and prepare you.
There will perhaps, be no occasion to
call q council for my dismission until one
is Necessary for the installing of a new pas
tor.
Yours in Christ, and in an abiding affec-
ton. ALDAoE WALKER.

Killed BY the Cars.

John O'Biino, a young man eighteen
years old, son of Patrick O'Brine, was in
stantlY killed Thursday, IN the railroad
about one half mile out Kecne. O'Brine
worked at Brewer mills, in Keenc, and got
INTO a platform car of a moving train to
ride home to dinner. AS the train came
to the crossing near his home, he jumped
from the car and slipped and went under
the train. He was caught in the break
head in some way and drawn upon tic
track for twenty-five or thirty rods, to the
covered bridge, where he was torn from
the fastening aud dropped through the
bridge upon the ice. The body was terri
bly, mangled, nothing being left but the
shoulders and head. The lower parts were
torn in shreds and strewn along the track.
The Cheshire railroad company took
charge of the reu aims and have had them
prepared for burial. J. f.. p.

Suppose,

Suppose that the president of the senate
should declare that Mr.. II. b. Hayes was
duly elected president what them The
house would probably elect Nlr. S. j. Til
den, and both having taken the oath of Of
flee, VIC should nominally have two presi-
dents. What then? MIR. Hayes would Sc
lect a cabinet, and the same would be sent
for confirmation TO the senate, and his se-
lec,ions would be confirmed. Mr.. Tilden
would send his nominations to the scrale,
aud they would be rejected as coming from
a private individual who had no LEGAL right

house Of representatives Las no power OF
confirmation, aud here the wheels of gov
eminent would be blocked. Mr.. Ti.den
would, however, make appointments. Let
Us suppose that be appointed a United
States marshal, and that he should attempt
to nuke an arrest. Ills authority would
be doubted, and resisted. The question of
his authority would be left with the courts,
and in a short time il would legitimaiely
reach the supreme court OF the United
States. It could not well be otherwise.
Either side would have the right of appeal,
and however much we may dcprecate bav-
ing this political question decided by the
supreme court, could it be avoidtd7
Should this tribunal decide that President
Hayes was rightfully and legally entitled
to the posi- ion, there would be an end to
all controversy. If on the other hand, TN
der these ~circumstanc IS, the decision
-hould be in favor of Mr.. Tilden, we inn
4gine that few doubt Mr.. Hayes prompt
