About one O'Clock Monday morning,
Oct. 2lst. the buildings of Moses Clark
were discovered to be on fire. By the
greatest effort nearly all the household
furniture was saved, together with the
butter in the cellar, and nearly all the
sugar in the chamber. The cattle and
horses were got out of the barn, but
seventeen hogs were burned, with all
the farming tools, wagons, harnesses,
one hundred tons of hay, four hundred
bushels of potatoes, ready for market,
and all the grain. Loss $4,000; insured
for 5000. The fire is supposed to have
originated in the arch where they had
been boiling swill the day previously.

A Conf aencs Game.

A young man named Edward Drew
OF this place, cut some curious capers
last week. On Thursday he went down
to West Barnet to one Shaw, and told
him who he was and that he had come
down to go cunning with him. He was
received with due cordiality, and dur
ing the next day made himself familiar
in the neighbOrhoOd, and succeeded in
borrowing some $50 or more from Tom
HASTE, John Abbott, Shaw and others,
and in stealing five dollars out of Shaw's
vest pocket, and gold pin belonging
to his wife, from bureau drawer.
Shaw charged Drew with the theft, and
he finally admitted it, and proposed to
go to st. Johnsbury and get money OF
his father to settle up. He was accom-
panied to Barnet village Saturday, and
while waiting for the train, Drew slip
ped out and got Greenbanks to carry
him to Wells River, since which his
whereabouts are not known.

two cows belonging to Mr.. Hill, about
mile above the depot. The cows
we're badly mangled, but were allowed
to lie where they were thrown and
struggle in their misery some three
hours before they were killed. There
should be law making it the duty OF
some one to put cattle out of misery
when injured by railroads. The owner
does not want to do it, as thereby he
might impair his legal claim upon the
company. We see no better way than
to furnish the conductor with butcher
knife and make him executiOner.

Frnm fhs Home And Yarm,

l once heard Of en- urf, itanAts
gentleman who had become insane,
but was restored to souns health by
simply causing ihe mind 10 make
q sudden revnlsion, which was done
by skillfully causing him TO become
jealous of his wife, who VAS . most
excellent lady and aware Of the
process. On this hint We might
learn to manage 8 halky horee. He
is insane on the subject of going;
that 10 selfevident. If we can
manage to make him think on soine
other subject, he will naturally for
get about going, and go before be
knows IL. The following devices
have been successfully tried TO
accomplish the desired end: First,
tying . string around the hosse's
ear close to the head. Second, hitch
ing the horse 10 the sipglelrse BY
means Of q cord instead Of the tugr;
the cord fsssened to the horses tail.
Third, filing tbs mouth foil of some
disagreeable substance. Fourth,
tying stont twine sroond the leg
just below the knee, and then re-
moving it when be has travelled some
distance. Never whip balky horse
for the moro he is whipped the
crazier be will become. Let
everything be done gently, for
boistrous words only confuse him
and make him worse. Treat him in
the mild manner you would crazy
/ man, and you will succeed.
