to employ seavor rather than risk the worry and
excitement incident to his discharge.
The strongest sympathy is everywhere ex-
pressed for Mr. Sewers wife, who Ia said to be
very deserving lady, and who can but feel
keenly the disgrace that her husband has brought
upon her-only ten months after their marriage.
For Mr.. Seaver himself there is mingled feeling
Of detesta,ion and pity, with occasionally re-
vengeful man who would but gladly see him the
victim Of some OF his own fires. lie can give no
motive for any Of them, except that he felt i'm
PEELED to do it, and could not resist the impulse
and It is not improbable, from circumstances moi
yet made public, that his impulse was pushing
him to yet further burnings even to the destruc
ton of the buildings Of Deacon Fiske, who had
40 kindly provided u home for him in his youth
ful days. 1t is fortunate, however, that for the
present, at least, he Is where his unhallowed i'm

ELy.-William Risden, who has kept livery
stable at the mines, had leg broken last week,
by being thrown from buggy down a steep bank
beside the road Morris. sou of Simeon Titus,
had his face and head cut the other day by kick
from horse. The store at the mines is quite
an imposing edifce. 1t has an addition of thirty
feet in the rear. The first floor above the base
ment is to be used by Mr.. Johnson for his cloth
ing department the second floor will afford a
fine hall or lecture room, and will be occupied by
the Temple of Honor which is doing great
deal of good in a quiet way. The upper floor is
to open into the large hall, and will afford ample
stage room for theatrical uses, making it a fine
hall for concerts, plays, or a ball room. A pro-
fessonal barber from Montpelier occupies the
front room OF the second floor, where Mrs. Paul
has so long had shop. DR.. Simpson remains in
his rooms, next door, and the others are used by
Mr. Johnson Sheds for horses and for storing
boxes, barrels, etc. are being put up in the rear
OF the store.

WArERBuRY.-Th fine weather of the past few
weeks has been improved by those whose stores
were burned some three months since, by pressing
forward the work of new buildings which will be
much superior To the old wooden structures. The
new ones will be Of brick, Of better appearance
and doubtless better adapted to the use designed.
THE work OF rebuilding the iron bridge over
the Winoosh about mile from this village has
also been going on for some weeks past though
delayed some by the non-receipt of the iron in due
time. The railroad and former contractors have
been unfortunate in iron bridge structures at this
place. This Is the third one put up within little
more than si& years. The first, built in the fall
OF 1873, wrecked soon after by the severe test
to which it was subjected The wreck, together
with four and two hundred tons Of iron rails
which went down into deep water, cost much ex.
pense to recover and clear ont of the way for an
other bridge OF the same similar pattern which
WAS quite carefully tested, but after a few yearl
| service was found TO be unsafe and was con
| demned months ago. The bridge now being
