Ay oS tueJ WeIe returning
home from church, While passing down
through the village. the horse became
frightened and kicked. putting both feet
through the dash err All three jumped
from the wagon, Miss West being quite
severely bruised, and having one ankle
sprained by being thrown to the ground as
she jumped. The others escaped without
injury. The horse freed himself from the
wagon and ran about a half mile, when
he was stopped.
The party which returned from the

That two cadets will be received from
each county in the state, free of charge

the work house at Rutland, where he has
been for the last seven months and over,
on sentence for selling intoxicating
drink contrary to law. His term of
service was somewhat shortened by the
clemency of Governor Proctor 1t is un-
derstood that Donahue's behavior, since
he has been at the workhouse, has been
quite commendable; which fact, no doubt,
has had some influence with the governor
in inducing him to shorten his sentence.
1t seems rs if the use OF the pardoning
power, in this instance, was II wise one,
as it appears quite likely it may awaken a
sense of gratitude in the bosom of the
ipardoned man, and thereby the effect be
salutary upon him. We are pleased to
believe there are but few people so utterly
destitute of all thankfulness for favors re-
ceived as those who forfeited by their trea-
son, not only their political rights, but
their lives as well. Now. having their
lives spared and their rights restored to
them Qoo soon, however) they turn and
do all in their power to embarrass the
government by the grace Of which they

Why do they SO? One reason is that it
beat them and frustrated their base de-
signs.
The building in process of erection by
George NJ. Fisk, on a part of the site of
the burned hotel, bids fair to become quite
an imposing structure. In height it not

including the basement.
