A TASTE OF THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

TASTE OF THE TRAMP NUISANCE.
Hitherto our quiet town has been COM
pamtively free from the tramp nuisance but
last Saturday, the 18th inst, between two
and three o'clock, p. NJ, one entered the
house of Rev. NJ. Carpenter All had been
from home, but member of the family re-
turning first passed to her chamber for a few
moments; ON returning through the lower
hall she saw a man of middle SIZE dressed in
suit of secdy black clothes with brown hair
and beard, at the china closet in the dining
room, handling over the silver, evidently to
ascertain which was solid and which was
plated. On hearing or seeing her approach
he dropped the pieces in his hands and fed
through the kitchen, wood-shed and garden
toward Twtehell mountain. She gave the
alarm and friends and neighbors very kindly
and generously turned out and searched for
him to a late hour, surprising that after dark
he would leave his hiding place and go north
or west but it appears he went south, as our
stage driver, Mr.. Cook, met a man towards
evening in Fayetteville, answering the above
description, walking rapidly towards Brattle-
boro. Mrs. Carpenter has as yet missed
81 Dut uOuohSsS uiIS 10 hot tie H'sV NlAlV
of the kind we shall have, and it becomes us
TO be doubly on our guard. Com.
Rev. NJ. Carpenter, while returning from
Dummerston last Monday, met with quite
serious accident. A large dog beside the
road frightened his horse, causing it to jump
from the road so quick as to overtun the car
riage, which was badly broken. Mr. Carpen-
penter was badly bruised, but is doing well at
present.
Rev. T. NJ. Butler is at Saratoga Springs,
where he is spending his vacation. 1t is
hoped by his many friends that he will re-
turn with renewed strength and improved
health. L.
