WORTH KNOWING. -Presuming that the major
ity OF the piano-buyng public are ignorant of the
fact, we would intimate that the two most noted
pianos Of the world, viz, the Steinway and Chick
ering have been greatly improved the past few
months, and these changes have so materially en-
HANGED their value that they have been placed be-
yond competition. We would state that for vol
ume quality and precision of tone elasticity OF
action and lifelong durability there is nothing in
the market which can compare with these match
less instruments In the steinway, by the Access
sion of the cupola frame the duplex scale, and
the agaife arrangement throughout-three very
essential Improvements the value OF each instru-
ment is enhanced from fifty to one hundred dol
lars, Mr.. George W. Wilder, Montpelier, Vt, is
exclusive agent for these Incompatible pianos, as
also the very popular Ilaines pianos and Mason
llamlin organs.

George S. Robinson, of South Barre young
man twenty years of age. On that day he

ton OF those who enjoy that sort of exercise; and
while they were swinging the pole which held the
ropes broke and fell. Robinson was struck on the
side, and though in great pain, managed to walk
to the house. DIR. Braley was called, but could
give no saving aid The rupture of a blood yes

only till about twelve o'clock, suffering acutely
the while, but conscious to the last. lie was tn,
only son of j. S. Robinson, and his sudden death
is sore calamity, in which the family have the
heartfelt sympathy of the community. He wal

WATERBURY, CENTER.-A pleasant event &C.
CURED Thursday evening, July 18th, at the resi-
dence of W. |. Atkins, Esq, it being the marriage
of his only daughter, Miss Ella NJ. Atkins to Mr.
Thomas Johnston, of Manchester, n. H. The
bride was arIayed in a combination suit of blue
cashmere and silk, and looked lovely. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. S. II, Wheeler pas.
tor Of the Congregational church, Waterbury.
After the ceremony the band gave the happy pair
a serenade and were invited in to fine COLA
ton, to which ample justice was done. Mr. and
Mrs. Johnston left Friday afternoon for their
home in Manchester, attended by the best wishes
of numerous friends. g.. The fall term OF school
will open at the Green Mountain Seminary Sep
TENDER 10th. Miss Lizzie Colley, so long and
favorably known in connection with this school,
will still have charge assisted by experienced and
able teachers. Alonzo Hart is greatly improy-

CABor.-The Methodist parsonage has been
greatly improved in looks of late, by painting and
a new fence around the yard. After next Sab
bath but one service will be held at the churches
each Sabbath until further notice, commencing at
eleven o'clock A. The hay crop is being
gathered very finely, and we think as near as we
can ascertain full average crop is being cut; all
other crops are locking finely The rain of last
Sabbath morning seemed to put new life into all
vegetation. Mr. and Mrs DR.. Wiswal appear
to be perfectly independent in regard to pond
lilies in their fountain in their conservatory
They have some very fine ones growing and quite
a number in blossom 1t is really quite curiosity
as they are rarely, if ever seen growing away from
large ponds. The school in district No. 13 has
been closed on account of diphtheria prevailing
in the district There has been but one death,
which occurred about four weeks ago.

CALAIs.-Recent showers have greatly improved
the looks and condition of fields and crops
Farmers are finishing haying. The crop has been
more than an average one and gathered in much
better condition than usual. Potato bugs, city
"boarders," tramps house-hies and candidates
for county offices are aarmingly multtudinous.
Paris green is the only sure remedy. Caucuses
are the only things which are not affected by the
hot weather. The year has been very favorable
for them, and the crop will be prolific. Quite Il

BRUTAL MURDER AT SrAMFoRD.-One John
Daley keeper of the State Line House at SIAM
ford, while drunk, on the 10Th inst, assaulted
and murdered James Spellman, aged scissors
grinder, for refusing to give up two razors until
he had been paid for grinding them. An inquest
on the body of the murdered man was held by
Medical Examiner Sabin, of Wilamstown, as
sisted by Drs. Babbitt and Wright. The bruises
were all about the head the most serious being
between the eyes, which the surgeons think was
caused by kick from heavy boot. The blow
on the top of the head, they think, was made with
n club. The scuile occurred in Vermont, and the
body was found just over the line, in Massa-
chusetts. Daley is under arrest.
