First frost, Il light one, Oh the
morning of the 10Th inst.
e. s. Kirby has a crab apple tree
that bears on one bough buds, blossoms
and ripe fruit, rs we saw OH the 18th
inst.
"A barn belonging to Lester Sparks
was burned OH the evening of the 9th
inst; loss, cause and insurance I'M
known.
Under the influence of the present
heated term raspberry bushes of this
seasons growth have pretty extensively
developed their buds, flowers and set
fruit, which will get ripe if the pleasant
weather continues.
w. S. Billings has small piece of
fodder corn that has had but poor
chancesof growing laterally, so it took
hold and climbed skyward at an aston
isling rate, stalks measuring ten and
ten and one-half feet being too numer-
GUS to elicit much comment, while an
ambitious one was found that measured
tritle over twelve feet.
e. S. Kirby has been trying his
hand at bee hunting, he having done his
hunting week days. As the results of q
few hunts he tells of two nice swans
found, one with some twenty and the
other with fifty pounds of nice honey.
He also had the sport of following a
swarm long distance and found them
in hive in the woods, to which they
had been transferred by his more fortu-
nate predecessor.
We notice in Register of the 18th
inst. that the Brooklyn Daily Times has
II correspondent who has been fitting
about our town taking notes, and has fall
len into few errors: First, i'll stating
that the old hotel lately burned was
built by Daniel Chapman; we are not
certain as to who erected the hotel. but
are of opinion it was one of two men
either Owen or Seth Storrs, at least
Mr.. Chapman did not. Second. he gives
about $500 feet as the height of Bread
Loaf Mountain; we do not know its
altitude, but some miles further south,
at "the old beach," the barometer has
indicated an elevation of some 2,300
feet above tide water; the beach is not
at the top of the hill, lacking many feet
of ii, and the hill cannot compare with
the mountain in altitude. Thirdly, he
gives our host Battell eight guests; is
that printers mistake for eighty? the
last number would not be far wrong.

The ladies of tic W. G. 4. L. held
their regular meeting Wednesday af-
ternoon, in the lecture room of the NJ.
Il. church. Mrs. Sturtevant gave a
synopsis of what was done at the annu-
al meeting of the w. G. r. u. held in
Rutland, which she attended. She
said that Mrs. j. Foot, the organizer of
the w. G. Il. Unions in the state of
New York, gave very interesting ac-
count of the doings of the ladies in n
town in Indiana. Election day they
met for prayer, while part of them
went out with votes for the temperance
candidate which they pressed upon the
voters. One lady, whose husbands
name was on the rum ticket, got q
great many TO vote the temperance
ticket. The temperance ticket car
ried the day, but this woman's
husband said he was proud of her.
Now they have absolutely no license in
that town, owing to the persistent eff
forts of the ladies of the Union. The
chairman of the committee on the town
agency gave in a report in the course
of which she said she was glad to see
so many Objectionable names OH the
black list; was glad that the agent was
willing to work in unison with the I'm
ion, aud she thought that the agent had
sometimes been helped to knowl-
edge of cases when liquor had been OBJ
tanned under false pretences. This is
just the help that the agent wants, so
that such names may be placed upon
the black list and be denied liquor in
future.

Some weeks ago Ira w. Clark, Esq,
was taken to the insane asylum at
BrattlebOrO for treatment. He did not
seem to get better, but his friends were
anxious to have him home and the latter
part of last week he came on and was
taken out to his fathers in western New
Haven. lie was not heard of in Mid
dlebury until Tuesday morning, when,
as the mail train moving south was APP
preaching the Spring Grove camp meet
ing station in New Haven, he was seen
by Engineer Curtis standing on the
track waving red pocket handkerchief
on the end of pole. lie kept his posi-
ton Oh the track until the train was
stopped and then informed the engineer
that there were distractions ahead. A
short distance further on ii was found
that Mr.. Clark had piled a lot of chairs
and other stuff on the track. When
these were removed he got up on the
engine to ride to Middlebury, and began
at once TO throw wood right and left of
the tender. lie was persuaded to desist
from that amusement, but when passing
Brooksville station he seized The long
iron poker and with il attempted ia
sweep off the people who were standing
on the platform. The train men then
put him in the baggage car, and when
Conductor Foss came in he took q
twenty dollar bill on the old Missisquoi
bank out of his pocket book and with q
stately gesture told Mr.. Foss TO take his
pay out of that. When the train arriv.
ed at Middlebury word was sent to
Sheriff Trip, and he was taken care OF
and held until next day when he was
taken TO the asylum at Brattleboro in
care of Messrs. Cady and c. G. Hunt
