Corn planting is nearly over about

the apple trees give abundant promise
of fruit.
Who can look around him in this,
the most beautiful part of the year
when all nature seems to, rejoice, the
trees fragrant with bud and blossom,
and glad with the sweet-voiced birds,
and say this is not a. beautiful aoorzd,
There are times in all our lives that

took q turn and returned home through

The walking match on Saturday af-
ternoon caused quite a stir in our
quiet community. The contestants
were Messrs. Washburn, Blakes, STAN

corners, the terminus to be Bristol Sta

Messrs. Howard and Stannard looked
very cool and nice in their white uni

Messrs. Washburn and Blakes in thei;
ordinary dark clothes were not as at

follow them to the end of their walk.

The P. & o. Hearing.

The hearing before Chancellor Ross,
an the petition of the Receivers of the
p. g. O. Railroad for half million dol
lars TO make needed repairs and I'M
movements on the road, was had at
this place last Thursday and Friday.
The arguments we're very interesting
and no doubt very learned. In behalf
of the Mercantile Trust Company OF
New York, lawyer Phelps of Burlington
took the ground that Judge Ross had
no legal right to put another mortgage
upon the road holding precedence to
the fist mortgage bonds-what Recelv-
ers certificates would be in fact. lie
argued that if state legislature had no
right to impose a mortgage upon cor
porate or individual property without
such corporate or individual consent
neither had a chancery court. The
bopdholders in this case not only dit
not give their consent, but entered thel
protest against such action. lie ais'
iutimated that the present recelvershll
was illegal and could not stand lega
contest, as the grounds on which 1t wa
granted we're mainly that the road wa
!. harrassed by its creditors, and to saw

East Hardwick.


The dwelling house of Carlos French,
situated about two miles west of this
village, was destroyed by fire on We'd
nesday morning of last week, about
three o'clock, with most of its contents.
The family were awakened by the light
and found the shed adjoining the house
nearly consumed, and had only time to
escape in their night clothes. Origin
of fire unknown.
A touching incident is told as having
occurred at the burning of Mr.. Frencb's
house. A little three or four years old
grand of Mrs. French, heard
the men say that they thought "they
could not save the barn :" when raising
her eyes to heaven she said, Lord
please save the cows"
Another correspondent writes:
There was but little help present
owing to the distance from neighbOrs
and the time of night. A portion of the
furniture and clothing was carried out
when the barn was found to be on fire ;
and while they were putting that out,
the things they had carried out were
burned, so there was little saved of any
account except the scanty clothing the
inmates hastily put on when awakened
by the fire. The fire is supposed to
have originated in some one of the bar
rels of ashes that were standing in the
shed. The practice of the family is I'M
derstood to have been to take up ashes
from the stove into pail pan or kettle,
and AS it become full, empty it into the
