An ill-advised and nasty rumor has
been current the past few day to the
effect that Rudolph Ducharme formerly
of this town but now working in Mon
treal, had been arrested for passing
counterfeit money, and condemned to a
long sentence in the penitentiary. We
are requested to deny this, as the young
man,is still engaged at the same place
where he went to on leaving here, and
his employer gives him a model char
acter for general department and hon
esty. Great mental suffering has thus
been needlessly inflicted on the young
mans parents, and Other friends that
will not be easily eff&ced. More care
should be taken in propagating such
sensational stories.
A PLEASANT SURPRISE: Last Sun
day afternoon, Rev. r. L. Bruce, in
pursuance of his fortnightly custom
preached in the school house at East

Mr.. S. d. uobson stepped toward and
assisted him (AIr. Bruce to don his
overcoat, which was rather thin for
the season, and then picking up a
heavy new one which lay on one of
the seats held it up for Mr.. B. to in
sert his arms. The latter, supposing
it to be mistake, declined, saying,
that is not my coat" To Which Mr.
Hobson replied, eyes it is = and forth
with proceeded to state that the friends
at East Brighton desired Mr.. Bruce to
accept the coat as Il token Of their re-
gard. Though completely surprised
the gentleman made no farther resist
anca, but accepted the generous gift
with thanks, and i'll the four miles
drive home against a sharp wind, it
proved TO be all it appeared for com
fort. This makes an aggregate of be-
tween $50 and $40 III presents that Mr..
Bruce and family have received from
the generous hearted people Of this
charge during their short sojourn of :
months in their midst. We are con
strained to believe island Pond bears

A SLIPPERY CUSTOMER Our readers
will doubtless remember the case OF
Henry Milloy, who was arrested some
time ago by A. Ii. Bonett after a long
and exciting chase, on the charge of
horse stealing. Milloy was arraigned
before Justice Hobson, and being ad-
judged probably guilty was, Calling
to procure sufficient bail,) sent to st.
Johnsbury Jail. From the latter insti-
tuition he managed to escape. Officers
over the State were notified and plan
of operations for his capture agreed
upon, but they proved unsuccessful.
Mr. A. H. Bonett finally had sheriff
Bowley watch the mail at Newport,
while the former looked after several
other post Offices. Sometime after, Mr..
Bonett received letter froIu the officer
at Newport saying that some of Mil
loys friends had addressed letter to
Patrick Murphy, 600 Canal Street,
Chicago, Ill. Mr.. Bonett at once sent
to the chief of police of that city a
minute description of Milloy, and the
charges against him, and soon after
received the news that the man had
been caught. Milloy agreed to come
on without requisition aud in charge
of Detective Walker left Chicago fol
his old quarters at st. Johnsbury He
has now again escaped, but how, and
by what means we are unable to state
The only information we have on the
subject is that the detective being
tired, fell asleep on the train, and Mil,
10y slipped his irons and slipped off.

BRAVE FIREMAN JONES.
Snatching Little Child from the Track ID
Front Of His Locomotive
IN. Y. SUM-


Charles Jones ID fireman On the mail train
from Rlverhead to Greenport. L. I. On Mon
day, as his train was speeding down the grade
toward Jamesport, Jones stepped out on the
platform OF his locomotive to oil some Of the
machinery. He heard the engineer blow q
warning whistle, and, looking ahead, saw on
the track little child that seemed to be
asleep. 1t paid no attention to the screeching
Of the whistle The locomotive was reversed
and the steam brakes were applied, but the
train swept swiftly toward the child, who did
not move. Jones instantly made up his mind
what TO do. Dropping the oil can, he ran
forward and swung himself down upon the
pilot. Thrusting his left foot between the
bars Of the pilot, he rested On his knee, and,
bending forward, was able to reach a little In
advance Of the pilot In this position he
waited until the locomotive rushed upon the
child. With a tremendous effort Jones
clutched the little one, raised II from the ties,
and swung 1t clear Of the pilot. Taking the
child In his arms, he remained In his danger
GUS position until the train was stopped.
The passengers who had seen the child
from the car windows, alighted, and loud
cheers were given for the brave fireman, who
modestIy pushed out Of the throng and mount
ed to his place in the tender. a Methodist min
lister In the train invoked d Divine blessing
on the head of the fireman. In Jamesport
the child was put In charge Of the station
agent. No one knew where 1t belonged. 1t
was curly-headed boy about two years old

and worse, had agreed with Caroduri Allen
that the point d'Gry,te should not be too ex-
acting; but Carodori presumiDg on Mallbran's
exhausted state, and false to the agreement,
ventured upon prolonged cadenza.
Never will the scene that took place On the
stage Of the Theatre Royal on that terrible
night, be effaced from tho memory Of those
who Witnessed It. MaHbran's eyes flashed

Malibran approached the foot lights and soto

stepped forward Id all her mightiness of in

given by Carodori, with q power, q resonance
