children's Sabbath at the M. E. Church.

Last Sunday the services at the Meth
odist church were devoted wholly to
the children. The desk was removed
from the platform and the platform and
walls in the rear of it profusely deco
rated with flowers, and occupied by the
choir. The morning service was much
us usual except instead of a sermon the
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Locke, talked to the
children. He took his text from the
Odd verse of the 9th chapter of Daniel,
last clause, $50 Daniel was taken up
out of the den, aud no manner of hurt
was found upon him, because he be-
LEVIED in his GOd.n In a manner that
could be understood by all the children
Mr.. Locke gave Daniels history, the
lessons to be drawn from his life, and
the benefits to be derived from follow
ing the Divine teachings under all Cir
cumstances. In the evening a Sabbath
school concert was held under the di-
rection of the superintendent, Mr.
David Morrison, consisting of singing
by the choir, Rotations and songs by
the children, short remarks from the
pastor and superintendent, &C., which
passed off in creditable manner. Both
services were we'll attended.

The Freaks of Lightning.

We noticed last week the striking of
the house of Cyrus Hill by lightning,
but some things were so remarkable
about this case as to warrant more
particular mention. Mr.. Hills house
stands on high ground in Waterford,
although the land to the west rises still
higher, and is covered with forest so or
rs rods away. The house is low and
One-story, and double row of maple
trees lines the highway directly in front
and on each side of the house. The
barns are on the south, quite near, per-
haps six or eight rods. On the evening
of June IL, there had been a shower,
but it had passed the men were at the
barn milking, and the other occupants
of the house were in the south room.
Mrs. Hill had just camped down upon
bed which stood in the southeast
corner of the room and was reading the
CaledOnian. Mrs. Frank Mulliken sat
rocking beside the stove, with her back
to the chimney, which was near the
centre of the north side of the ROOM
Her little baby was playing in the mid
die of the floor. When the crash came,
Mrs. Mulliken was knocked nearly
across the room the stove was upset,
stove-pipe knocked down, looking glass
broken, flower pots upset, and some
sixty lights of glass in this and other
rooms broken out. Mrs. Mulliken was
much affected but well enough to return
to her home in day or two. Mrs. Hill
was not injured, and the only indication
that the baby had experienced any
shock was constant pulling of his ears,
The lightning struck the chimney which
it just about demolished, and entered
the room where these persons were by
the stove funnel, passed through the
floor into the cellar evidently, and es-
capped into the ground by a water-pipe,
melting the pipe some two feet outside
the cellar wall. This fact was ascer-
tanned by reason of the water run
ming into the cellar, and OH digging
down outside the wall the melted pipe
was found. The stove stood upon a
piece of zinc, and small holes were
melted where each stove leg stood, and
one end of the zinc was melted off and
the carpet set on fire. Nail heads were
melted, and the dress which Mrs. Multi
ken had on was scorched. 1t was a
remarkable escape from death.

There was foot race on the trotting
park last Thursday evening, in which
ten persons started for walk or run of
one hour, the one going the greatest
distance in that time to have the first

or more. Wesley Fisher made eight
miles in one hour and ten seconds; Lee
Chase eight miles in one hour and 40
seconds Ned Hayes made Il miles in
the hour, and Charles Gerard II miles
in 81 minutes. Pretty good time for
amateurs.

small room in the rear of the house.
Whether it did not fit the party, or
whether they left it by mistake, is not
known. Very late in the night persons
were heard in front of Mr.. M. BOwker's
in low conversation. Soon after the talk
ing ceased, a wagon was heard to pass
south. In the morning the strawberry
can taken from Mr.. Browns house was
found upon the steps which lead from
Mr.. Bowker's house to the street, and
there were other indications that the
burglars lunched there.
At Mr.. Geo. w. Spencer's house,
which was entered the same morning,
window had been left unfastened by
mistake, and after helping themselves
to silver spoons, land some plated ware,
as we learn,) the burglars went up
stairs and took pOrtemonnaie out OF
Mr.. Spencer's pants pocket, removed
all the currency-about $25-and strap
ped up the wallet and returned it to
his pocket. In the morning when Mr.
Spencer undertook to dress himself, he
could not find his vest. Becoming con-
WINGED that some one had removed it,
he looked in his wallet, when he dis
covered that his money was also gone
Afterwards the vest was found in the
front yard, but the watch had been alb
stracted from it. Mr.. Browns loss was
about $165; Mr.. Spencer's not Sc

The Peabody Case

The FeaDoQy Ease.
The trial of Richard E. Peabody for
forgery has created more than usual in
terest, because of the extensive bust
ness operations of the man, and the
good standing of family friends. The
trial began last Friday, and as we go to
press, H. c. Ide, Esq, is making the
closing argument for the defense. As
the final result of the trial cannot be
known before this paper is issued, we
will refer only briefly to it. Our re-
porter has given summary OF the i'm
portant evidence. If the respondent is
convicted it will not be because he has
not been ably defended, for the most
strenuous efforts have been made in his
behalf by his able counsel, Messrs. Bel
den and Smith, and by many int1uen'
tial family friends. Whether convicted
or not, it will not probably change the
minds of a dozen people who have
heard the trial as to his guilt or limo
cence, or in fact the opinion of any wht
have watched the career of this re
markable man.

A Misunderstanding.

"a
One day last week, Geo. B. Walker,
as officer, and James Higgins as assis-
tant, backed a wagon up to j. S. Clark's
shop on the Avenue, and loaded i'll his
goods, consisting of toys and small
wares, and drove off with them. MI.
Clark was told that it was done to sat
isfy a debt in favor of Banfield & For
ristall of Boston: Mr.. Clark told the
officer that he had paid the debt, but OF
course the officer must obey orders.
The next day Mr.. Clark found a receipt
in full for the debt claimed, signed by
j. o. Livingston of Montpelier, as at
torney for the claimants, which he
showed the officer, and he in turn wrote
the Boston party, who replied that they
could not be bluffed i'll that way sc
the goods are still kept in custody.
On Monday evening of this week
there was little episode growing ou
of this attachment. Mr.. Clark wen
into the bakery, and there met one o
Nj. Fisher, runner for Banfield 81 For
ristall. The matter of the removal o
Clark's goods came up and some dis
pute arose between Clark and Fisher
when the latter struck Clark in the face
and Selling hold of him shook him VI
somewhat. Clark entered complain
to the States attorney, and Fisher wa
hauled up and fined SIS and costs
amounting to $3.50, which he paid ant
left town by night train. Fishers HON,
is at Montpelier.

The Newark Scourge

There have been no more deaths by
diphtheria in Newark since our last &C
count. We have given the opinion of
medical men in regard to the cause of
this disease, and no longer ago than
last week copied an article which at
tributed this fatality to the disease car
ried into the school by children who
had recovered from diphtheria. 1t is
due to the facts and the people who
know all the circumstances and sur
roundings, to say that they don't take
any stock in this theory. There were
no such diphtheria patients in the
school. The school house was clearly
and wholesome as such houses in gen
eral. There was no standing water San
der it. On the other hand there was
the putrid carcass of horse within a
few feet of the small brook where the
children drank. School began on Mon
day, and nearly half the children in the
school were fatally i'll in four days
Those who did not drink from the
brook were not taken sick until after
wards if at all. One little girl said the
water smelled so bad she would not
drink it, and she was not taken sick at
all. The majority of the people who
have looked into this matter believe ii
was the dead horse which killed these
Id or Is children.

McIndoe's Falls.

McIndoes Falls.
The people at McIndoe's are especial
ly interested just now in repairing their
church. The pastor says, 1.-THE condi-
ton of the church indicates the religion
of place." and the people are anxious
at least to appear religious. The walls
have been whitened and the ladies,
with the help of few gentlemen, are
painting the blinds. A new pulpit of
modern style has been purchased and a
platform raised by the side of the pull
pit for the organ and choir. These i'm
provements upon the inside of the house
were planned and we'll commenced
when, greatly to the dismay of those
interested, it was found that the
building needed shingling. Now there
seemed no other way to save the money

St Johnsbury Academy.

St Johnsbury Academy.
The graduating exercises of the Acad-
envy took place on Thursday forenoon
of last week, and were very largely at
tended, the hall being well filed. The
universal opinion seemed to be that the
change from evening to day time for
holding these exercises is an agreeable
one. All who have real interest
in the event can almost without excep-
ton plan to go, as it occurs but once a
year, and large floating, unapprecia-
tive class, who stray into such a place
in the evening for the sake of going
somewhere, is entirely avoided, greatly
to the comfort of those who go because
they have purpose to go. The superb
or music of the Mendelssohn Club ad-
ded much to the pleasure of the time,
and as whole the parts were excellent
and well prepared.
We hardly think it just to be hyper
critical or use for young people so early
in a course of literary training the same
criteriOns of judgment as would fairly
apply to those of more pretensions, and
with this understanding there was very
much to commend both in matter and
manner. All were free from that re-
straint which comes from imperfect
preparation, and quite number were
specially free and natural in delivery
while nearly all were well heard. One
feature distinguished the exercises from
those of previous years, and that was
the poem by Mr.. Barstow. There was
a good deal of natural ease and beauty
of thought in it, and it was specially OF
a devotional character, hearty and gen.
uine as might be expected by those who
know him. We understand he has
shown in other ways in the Academy
his ability in poetical writing, though
it never has been an obtrusive or af-
fected thing in him.
The parts besides the Valedictory and
Salutatory which are assigned as hon
orary parts, the Honorary Essay" and
the "Class Essay" showed that the
writers, Miss Julia Ross and Miss Annie
Morse, well deserved as writer's as we'll
as scholars the parts assigned. The
Valedictory was spoken of as marked
by clearness and elegance of style, and
was well delivered. 1t is to be hoped
that one so young will not hasten on SO
fast in his future study as to bring on a
physical breaking down which will
make his other attachments useless.
