Sylvanus M. Holden was severely in
| jured on Friday May 18th. While harness
ing bis horse under his carriage house shed,
the chamber floor gave away, letting
lot OF lumber sleds, ETC., stored there,
down upon him, breaking his right leg just
above the knee, and seriously injuring his
back and left hip. 1t was feared, when
his friends took him from the ruins, that
his injuries would prove fatal. 1t is a great
mystery how he succeeded IN getting his
| horse and carriagelout of the building ere the
falling timbers had crushed and buried them
in the debris. Kind neighbors and friends
at once rendered him all the assistance in
their power. and summoned DR.. W..
Waller and DR.. w. II. Woodward, who set
his broken hand and relieved him as far as
possible His physicians say he will re-
| cover. On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Holdens
| neighbors went with their hoes and took
possession of his corn and potato fields, and
before the sun went down they had his
| planting nearly or quite done. These IA
vors and the many others he has received
since his sad accident, he says will ever be
remembered with gratitude and pleasure.

The Temperance of winter was very
apparent on the east slope of the mountain,
| directly west Of this place on Thursday
| forenoon, the oath instant. The woody
| mountain side and quite belt of cleared
land below was "as grey as a cellar rat"
The light-fngered gentleman who 30
successfully piled his nefarious vocation at
| Chester few nights ago, made calls at q
| few places of business in this village, that
| of Geo. Il. Walker, harness manufacturer,
and VIM. ID. Ball, dealer in hardware, be-
ing among the number. One or two,
from his actions, seemed to get a pretty
correct measure of the fellow, and made
the remark that they believed him to be q
| finished rascal. We learn by way of a cit
| iZen from Chester, who examined the ex-
ploded safe of Messrs. Robbins & Marsh,
that he used as one of bis instruments a
blacksmith's steel punch, such as the craft
employ in driving out stubs of nails from
horses hoofs preparatory to the act of shoe
ing. From all appearances, he placed this
punch against one of the panels of
the safe door then gave it 80 smart a
blow that it passed through the outside of
the safe duUl ne then aug ou, tiiO ..aVo-
rial heIween the outside and inside plates
| nf the door. ond thou worked his punch
through the first hole he had made until it
struck the inside of the door, and repeated
the first operation, with so good success
that he had small hole entirely through
the door into the inside of the safe. He
then without doubt worked powder, proba.
bly, by mt ans of a small sized tube, through
these holes, and let it drop into the safe.
Having deposited sufficient amount in
this manner, he then took strip of tin and
made coiled tube, and inserted it entirely
through both holes, filled 1t with powder
and touched 1t off the flash from the end
OF the tube, igniting the powder he had
worked into the safe, (and which must
have dropped down to the bottom of the
door, the effect being probably precisely
what he anticipated; the blowing open OF
the door, and of course, affording an un-
DISTRACTED way to the valuables he was in
pursuit of. The conclusion was so great
that the back of the safe came near being
blown Oft as well as the door. The coiled
tin tube remained intact, it's spiral form re-
sisting the explosive power of the powder
with which it was filled.
1t would seem he intended to perform
the same experiment upon the town safe,
he having knocked off the knob of the
door, probably thinking that by so doing il
might open up the easiest place to CON-
mence on. 1t is thought he got frightened
at this point in his operations, and beat q

gularly aided in making his escape, from
all we can learn, by the most unbroken
string of fools, who carried HIM post-haste
from place to place, he showing all the
while that he was, as it we're. sitting on a
bed OF nettles, that history up to the present
time gives any account of.
