Vermont News.

In the last Woodstock Standard there
recorded among the deaths the names
of six persons, all in that county, whose
average ages are so years and months.
William Lamb, of Montpelier. In
toxication and disturbing the peace.
1892 fine.
John Ramsdell and Camille Guyette,
of Groton, for drunkenness at the state
fair, were fined S10.16 each.
A horse belonging to Joseph Atkin-
son, of Newbury, was made deaf by the
report of cannon at the late muster.
Charles Blay and Philander Searls, of
Tunbridge, have been arrested and held
for trial for stealing tools at Montpelier.
1t is expected that the next muster of
the National Guard of Vermont will be
held in Montpelier during the week in
October in which ''election day" occurs.
Two employees of the Fall Mountain
Paper Company at Bellows Falls ven
tured too near the dam at the head of
the falls on Thursday, and their boat
was carried over. One named Gould
was rescued, but the other, named Fred
Tigh, an Englishman, was drowned.
Tigh had worked there but a short
time.
DR.. j. B. Woodward of Montpelier,
had his left hand seriously poisoned in
amputating the leg of the brakeman
who was hurt on the Wells River road
recently. His arm was badly swollen
and he was confined to his bed. DR..
James of Waterbury was also poisoned,
but in his case the evil effects were
slight.
Indictments have been found against
five Bellows Falls liquor dealers, who
will probably plead guilty and pay
their tines.-Over $4,000 is being in
vested in buildings and other improve
ments.-The village is getting over its
small pox scare, and the schools will
probably begin again Monday.
The Rutland liquor dealers are in
particularly hot water just at present.
Rumselling has been little hindered
during the last year, but the grand jury
of the present county court has just
been dismissed, after bringing in 81 in
dictments, most of which are supposed
to be for liquor offenses. All three of
the hotels and two or three of the lead
ing dealers were brought into court
yesterday, and they gave bail in $1,000
to appear for trial. No one knows how
general the slaughter is as yet.
The Orleans County Monitor says
the lightning rod victims who got to-
gether at Lyndon some time since, and
made a solemn vow that they would
pay only so cents on the dollar of the
claims, are backing down now rather
than go to Bennington county for a
trial.
Robert Anterior of Ludlow, Is years
old, accidentally sucked herds grass
head into one of his bronchial tubes
recently, and he is now in a dangerous
condition. An abcess has formed in
the tube and discharged large quaint
ties of matter.
Frank Emory, a desperate horse thief,
and Lewis Davis broke Jail at Middle
bury the other day. They lifted a slab
on the Jail floor, dug through two inch
es of cement and six feet of dirt into
the cellar, and then found their way
out. A small piece of iron was all the
tool they had, and they carried off the
dirt with tin cans and hid it in their
beds.
Mr.. c. M. Hunton of Rochester while
climbing to the great beams last Fri
day for threshing purposes, fell several
feet striking the floor head first, and
was badly injured. He was uncon-
scious for some time.
Eugene Town, of Waterbury, fell
from the high beams of his barn into a
threshing machine running at full
speed. His life was barely saved by
Edward Woodward pulling him from
the cylinders. Woodward's arm was
broken, and both seriously injured, but
will probably recover.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM CALAMITY.
At SwantOn Saturday morning, the P.
q U. mail train, just starting out, was
thrown from the track by misplaced
switch at the west end of the bridge
across the Missisquoi, and if the loco
motive had gone ten feet further it
would have gone down the embank
ment into deep water and doubtless
hauled the train after. AS it was, no
