RAN INTO THE Wharf.-The steamer Jane
Mosely. of the Norfolk line, was detained at
Washington, yesterday evening, by 40 accident
to her boiler, and it was not expected that she
would make her regular trip. About 9 o'clock
last night, however, she came down, aud, there
being 90 light on the wharf, the pilot missed
his calculation and struck the upper end Of the
pier, splitting pile in half and carrying away
a part Of the plankipg. After going a short
distance down the river she returned and Handed
a passenger and then proceeded 90 her way to
Norfolk. SO far as could be learned tho steamer
VAS not injured by the collision.

of his hands. Gadapie is poor French
man, with the poor mans full allow
ance of children, of whom Mary is the
oldest.
The more this case is developed, the
more it looks as though this may be
the solution: Mary Gadapie is bright,
intelligent girl, whose ideas and arnbi-
ton has been aroused by contact with
better things than she found at home !;
and when her father became suspicious
of Gle, and demanded that Mary come
home, her heart rebeled against going
back to the drudgery of poor home
and the partial care at least of eight or
ten younger brothers and sisters, with
the inevitable scramble with them for a
poor existence. She had had taste of
better things, and her ambition was
and is to get an education and fit her
self to teach; and she says she shall do
it, if it all has to be accomplished after
she is Is. All this is commendable,
and it may be that the only mistake she
made was in allowing Gile to run her
off to Underhill in the secret manner
he did.

A Case of Abduction, or Worse.


The North part of Danville has been
a good deal excited for the past two or
three weeks, over the disappearance of
Mary Gadapie, Il French girl some IL
years old, who has parents living near
the village, but who has lived more or
less for the last year or two ut Alfred
Giles. The story is this: The present
winter the parents of the girl wanted
her to come home and attend school
but for some reason she didn't wish to
go, and Mr.. Giles folks also strongly
opposed it. For what. reason, does not
fully appea". The story that it was be-
cause the girl wanted to be a Protestant.
and that if at home her father would
compel her to be Catholic, is injured
by the fact that her father does not at
tend the Catholic church, and that the
girl has been to Protestant church at
North Danville right along, without
protest. However this may be, about
this time the girl disappeared. Giles
was, but had paid her up in full and
supposed she had gone to either Lowell
or Lawrence to work in Il factory. 1t
WAS soon discovered, however, that the
girl was at Underhill, VT, with some of
Giles relatives, She was found there
by Frank Vance, North DanviIle man
who went after her, but he was not al
lowed to see her. This only excited
the people of the neighborhood still
more, and they were soon divided into
two parties-the Gle party and the
Gadapie party. Early last week Sheriff
Preston went in pursuit of the girl with
the necessary papers to take her if
found. He found she had left Under
hill, but he traced her to Essex June
ton, from thence to Montpelier, Marsh
field, West Danvile, from which place
she was taken in the night to Arad
Weiss, North Danville, where Mr..
Preston found her Thursday night and
brought her to this place, where at the
present writing she remains in custody.
The case is very singular and some
what mysterious and suspicious one
Before we go to press there may be
some developments to throw light oil
this matter. In its present aspect the
community about the two families are
greatly stirred up, and the interest ex-
tends quite widely. Gile is well-to-
do farmer, with a family. We under
stand he has lately put his property out

escape from being burned last week,
caused by the pipe not being long
enough to reach the chimney by four
inches. When the chimney burned out
the fire dropped down into the partition
and got well to going before it was dis
covered.
We learn that Mr.. Oaks, who run the
shoe business in this village for several
years, died at Berlin last week.
At the annual meeting of the Congre-
gational church, Dea. G. NJ. Bailey was
chosen Superintendent of the Sabbath
school, it being the fourth year that he
has held that office. He has proved to
be an efficient superintendent, and the
right man for the place.
We learn that DR.. H. G.. Staples who
attempted suicide by shooting himself
at Hanover, N. H., is still alive, and it
is hoped that he may yet recover. The
bullet went in back of the right ear,
through the brain and lodged against
the skull back of the left ear. 1t was Il
pity that it had not gone in on the left
side, so as so have thrown more weight
on the right side.
John Swallow who has been living
in Canada the past two years, has rent
ed the Abe Parker place, and moves in
this week. He is going into the boot
and shoe business with his father.
Last week while DR., Sanborn was
holding Il post mortem examination OH a
person that had died with a cancer, he
accidentally cut his wrist. He took
prompt measures to kill the poison, but
having some fears about the matter,
concluded to go to Boston and have it
treated. He came home this week With
quite il sore hand.
The Congregational church voted to
have but one service during the winter
season, also to continue the weekly
offering system, which has proved quite
satisfactory.
Mr.. Joseph Kidder, farmerand butcher,
has failed liabilities about $500, as
sets 81 800. His creditors do not accuse
him of being dishonest. 1t was caused
by purchasing real estate when butter
was selling for 40 cents per pound, and
trying to pay for it with butter at 25
cents.

First National Bank.

The Directors of the First National
Bank of St. JohnSbury, organized ON
the l4th inst, by choosing Luke p
Poland, President, and Horace Fair
banks, Vice President. A letter was
presented from Hon. Calvin Morrill,, de
clining to accept the office of Director
to which he had been reelected by the
stockholders. The following resolution
was then offered by Gov. Fairbanks:
ReSOlUed, That it is with great regret
that we accept the resignation of Hon.
Calvin Morrill, as Il member of this
Board. His service for nearly twenty
eight years rs Director of this Bank
and its predecessor-the Passumpsic
Bank-has been 50 long, faithful and
honorable, as to entitle him not only to
the confidence and esteem of his asso-
ciates, but of the eutire business COM
munity and upon his declining further
service in the position, we tender to
him our sincere regard and best wishes
for his prosperity and happiness.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted and directed to be entered
upon the records of the Bank.
