The Methodists at the grove seem to

On Thursday of last week, Elbridge
Davis of Burke, hired team at D.
Silsby's stable, saying he wanted it to
drive to Willoughby Lake to ball.
The team not returning in due season,
Sllsby started out to look it up. Davis
was traced to Barton, thence to the
Spring House, thence to Barton again,
and from there to Newport. He went
to Whitney's stable Friday night, said
he must go to Island Pond that night,
but his horse was valuable trotter and
he wanted to leave it with Whitney
and take one of his teams to go to the
Pond. Whitney agreed to this arrange
ment, and Davis left with Whitney's
horse and harness, and Silsby's wagon.
He has been traced into Canada where
Sheriff Trull and Whitney are in pur-
suit of him.
A foot bridge across the Passumpsic
river, near Mrs. Mattocks', has been
erected for the convenience of those
living on that side of the river. The
bridge is directly opposite the camp
ground.

SERIOUS RUNAwAY.-A man by the
name of Green, with his family, con-
sisting of his wife and three small chill
dren, was driving from Peacham to
Danville last week Thursday, and
stopped to water their horse at the
trough near Moses Wesson's. The bits
were removed from the horses mouth,
and before they were replaced the horse
took fright and ran down the road at a
furious rate. The mother dropped the
children out behind the wagon and
they escaped uninjured; but she was
not so fortunate herself, for she jumped
or fell out and struck upon her head
and shoulders receiving serious injuries
She was taken to Mr.. Wesson's and DR..
Averill called. She so far recovered as
to be able to continue her journey
Monday, but it is feared she has re-
ceived injuries about the head which
she will not soon get over. The horse
was taken up without doing material
damage to itself or wagon.
FIRE.-The dwelling house and out
buildings owned and occupied by Chas.
Adams, situated just above South Dan
vile, were destroyed by fire between
SIX and seven o'clock last Saturday
evening. The fire was first discovered
in the hay NOW near one corner of the
horse barn, and every effort possible
was made to extinguish it, but for want
OF a sufficient supply of water the flames
gained rapidly, and soon communicated
to another large barn on one side, and
on the other to the woodshed, and from
thence to the house, and in short time
all were in ruins. The barns were filled
with hay and grain, which was destroy
ed, with all the farming tools except
moving machine. Two hogs in the
cellar of the horse barn were burned.
The furniture in the house was all
saved. The cause of the fire is not
known positively, but it is supposed
that the barn was struck by lightning,
as heavy thunder storm passed over
about an hour before, and a bolt was
seen to descend in that direction, al
though the people in the house did not
notice any unusual report at any time
during the storm. Mr.. Adams had been
away from home, and returned a short
time before the fire was discovered.
The loss is estimated at about $4,000.
Insured in the VT. Mutual for $4,000.
DIR. Woodward was driving down the
Dana hill at the north part of the vii

head about fast driving, especially
down hill.

East Hardwick.

East Hardwick.
The town authorities have commenced
to repair the covered bridge across the
river. 1t has been in an unsafe condi-
ton for some time, on account of the
east abutment falling in. 1t will prob
ably take about two weeks, and in the
meantime all teams will be obliged to
cross the river mile above or below
the village.
DR.. HI. G. Staples has moved with his
family to Lyndon.
We understand that the fall term of
our village school will commence Sept.
I'd; the higher department in charge of
George French of Hardwick.
The story which is going the rounds,
of the absent minded husband and wife,
who, after travelling on the cars for five
OF six hours, suddenly recollected that
they had left the baby at the depot
where they started, reminds us of a
similar case in this town. About the
time OF the convention at Hydepark, a
well-tO-dO farmer took his wife and
started for the village. On the way he
left her at one of the neighbors, and
went to one of the stores and chatted
politics, ETC., until ten o'clock, when he
started for home. Arriving safely he
put up his team and went to bed. He
noticed that his wife was not in her
accustomed place, but supposed she
might have been called to watch with
a sick neigbbor, and settled himself for
a nap; but before he fell asleep, it
suddenly occurred to him that he had
left her at the village. He got up and
harnessed, and started after her, but
met her near home. A man is not ex-
pected to remember everything when
politics runs high.
Mr.. M'Clary drove his old white horse
into town Tuesday. The horse is thir-
ty-three years old, is fat as a seal, and
in good spirits, and can eat her rations
as well as colt.
The Hardwick brass band played in
the village hall Tuesday evening. They

Lord Dufferin and Governor Fairbanks

Lord Dufferin and Governor Fairbanks.
By special invitation, Gov Fairbanks
met Lord Dufferin and. party at Stan
stead, on Friday of last week. Gov,
Fairbanks was accompanied by the fol-
lowing persons: Adjutant and Inspector
General j. S. Peck, Quarter master
General L. G. Kingsley, Col. Fred. E.
Smith, Col. R. Farnham, Col. j. J. Estey,
Judge Poland, Rev. DR.. Goodell, and a
representative of the Caledonian. This
party was met at Newport by delega-
ton of citizens from Stanstead, and
taken by special train to that place.
where carriages were in waiting to con-
duct them to the Plain, where Lord
Dufferin and party were momentarily
expected, they having taken private
conveyance from Sherbrooke. The
American party were driven to the
north end of the town, and remained at
the residence of Hon. Lee Terlill until
the vice-regal party arrived.
About three o'clock hearty cheers
from the crowds of people in the street,
announced the approach of Lord Duff
fern, who, with Gov. Fairbanks and
party, were escorted by the fire depart
ments of Stanstead and Derby Line,
Captains Channel and Jones command
ing,-led by band of music-to the
beautifully festooned and decorated
residence of Charles w. Pierce, Esq.
After partaking of an elaborate lunch,
which included both the substantials
and delicacies of the season, prepared
for the distinguished visitors by Mr..
Pierce, they were escorted to Stanstead
College, where, in behalf of the citizens
of Stanstead, the Governor General and
lady were introduced to the people by
Hon. Joseph L. Terrill, the Mayor.
Lord Dufferin responded in choice
and eloquent language. He referred to
the loyalty of the Canadian people,
complimenting them for their industry,
and especially their advancement in
educational matters. He paid fitting
compliments to the Trustees and Facul-
ty of Stanstead College, and urged upon
the people their utmost effort to sup
port and further its prosperity and in
fuence. In reference to his successor,
the Marquis of LOrne, he said Her
Majesty the Queen gives to your keep
ing one of her daughters, and from
what know of my successor, his lady
and the citizens of Canada, am certain
that neither she, her husband, nor You
will ever regret the connection between
the Royal family and yourselves. In
