Fire Record.

In EAST CoNCoRD-The other day an un
occupied house and barn belonging to George
Johnson in East Concord, were totally destroyed
by fire The barn contained pows harrows, cart,
sled, sleigh, etc Loss about $500; supposed to
be the work Of an incendiary.
In RICHFoRD.- grocery store of A. c. A.
G. Patch was consumed Saturday morning, with
most of its contents. The loss is estimated at
from 81, 800 to $1,000 1t was insured for $1,000
in Springfield (Mass.) company. The store
building was owned by Charles Williams, and was
insured for about four hundred dollars. Its
value was not much more. The grocery store
of ]. G. Powell Co., near the burning building,
was saved with difficulty The fire is supposed
to have caught from the chimney.
IN HARDwIcK. The dwelling-house and the
horse-barn of c.. f. McCrllis were destroyed by
fire on the afternoon of the 23d. The favorable
wind no doubt saved the principal barn, which was
separated several rods from the buildings burned.
The family were all away, and consequently
nothing in the house WAS saved Some farm
tools and some other articles were saved from the
horse-barn. Besides household furnishing, cloth
ing, etc, fifty dollars in money, three hundred
sap buckets, a pair of new harnesses and consid-
cradle grain and provisions were destroyed Mrs
McCrillis and children were at Marshfield. Cause
Of the fire unknown. Mr.. McCrilis and hired man
left the premises about ten OF clock \. NJ. They re-
port that there was no fire in the house at that time,
and had not been since early morning. Smoke
was noticed by nelghbors about two o clock p. NJ,
but not to cause any alarm till Il half-hour or
more later. Those arriving there first report that
the fire had possession of the house, eifectually
preventing any one from entering, to save any
property. No estimates of the loss are reported,
but there is odoubt that it well covered by in
surance. The buildings burned were situated on a
farm about mile and half north of this village

State Prison and WOrkhOuse.

Governor Proctor has appointed and the Senate
has confirmed the following nominations as
directors of the State Prison at Windsor and the
State Worlhouse in Rutland: w. ii. II. Bingham
of Stowe, Ner p Simons of Rutland, and Joseph
C. Parker of Quechee These selections will, we
are sure, commend themselves to the good sense
of the people of the state. Everybody knows
Governor" Bingham, and knows that in what
position he is placed, he performs its duties
with fidelity and sagacty. The appointment
could not be better Mr. Simons, who was one of
the board TO which was entrusted the building of
the State Workhouse, is thoroughly familiar with
every detail of that institution, and will devote
his best attention toward carrying on to success
the project which has consumed for the last two
years so large a part of his time and attention.
The selection OF Mr. Parker is one which could
not possibly be improved An active, intelligent
and conscientious business man, he will carry to
his position every requisite which will render his
supervision of our State Prison success in every
particular. With so good board of directors, we
predict new and more successful era in the con-
duct of the prison And this we say without
intending to cast any reflection upon the retiring
board who have, under somewhat discouraging
circumstances faithfully endeavored to perform
the duties incumbent upon them.
For Superintendent Of the Prison. Governor
Proctor has appointed Wendell 2. Rice, of Thorn
aston, Maine. Mr.. Rceis the son of Warden Rice,
of the prison in that state. He is about twenty
seven years Of age, and has been connected with
that institution from his early youth. lie has
filed almost every position in the prison, being
promoted as his superior qualifications for this
service became manifest. Governor Common, of
that state former Vermonter, writes in the
highest terms of his ability. and he is endorsed in
the most fattering terms by all the more respon-
sible officers of the prison. He will, we trust,
fully fill the bill in this important position.
As Superintendent of the State Workhouse, the
Governor has been peculiarly fortunate in secur
ing the services of Sheriff Isaac NJ Trpp of Middle
bury We know of no one to whom we should more
willingly entrust the duties of this office. Cool
methodical and intelligent in all his actions, Z
good disciplinarian despite his kind heart, and {
! keen and sagacious observer, he will do mucl
toward making success of our new institution

INTERESTING RELIGIOUS SERvicEs.-Ihe use of
Representatives Hall having been granted for the
purpose, religious services were held at the State
House Sabbath afternoon, under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Association. The Hall
was densely filled, and the exercises were both
interesting and impressive. Mr.. A. j, Howe of
Montpelier, presided, and conducted an appro-
pirate Bible reading. Mr.. Camp of Newport,
spoke Of the origin and work of the association,
and clearly showed that instead of its being II
rival to the churches in their legitimate work, it
was their most efficient helper. Effective remarks
were also made by Senator Mead and Representa-
tives Curtis of Lowell, Holtou Of Jamaica, and
Rev. Mr. Incks of Montpelier. The latter gen
tleman was especially gratitied that the religious
element In the Legislature should thus hno ap-
proprate expression, In the hope that it might
prove In some measure an antidote for the per
nicious aud demomlizing influences which uni
formy attend Il session Of the Legislature. On
the whole the meeting was exceedingly impress
sye aud hopeful in It's influence, and It is matter
Of deep regret that efforts OF the kind had not
been instituted earlier in the session.

SHARP INDICTMENT.-Th Ldmoue NelCS says
of the Portland 4 Ogdensburg railroad: "The
road is defective in many places, and with the
general knowledge of its dangerous condition
which exists, it is u wonder that people can be n-
duced to travel on it at all. II the railroad COM
pany have not the me to put the road in order,
then they should either discontinue their trains or
put the management of it into such hands rs can
and will make it safe, and who will have little
regard for the public's safety. In many places
where the ties have rotted away the spikes which
hold the rails in place are assisted in their func-
tions by the insertion of small wooden pegs. The
road ia in most dilapidated condition, and unless
some steps are Immediately taken for its improve
ment they must expect to receive the justly
merited censure of the people"
