WEST ToPsIIAM.--On Wednesday OF last week
a little past noon the house Of Gilman Bagley in
this village was discovered to be on fire. Mr..
Bagey and family were all gone from home ex-
eept an old lady living there, who went up stairs
smoking. 1t is supposed that she dropped some
fire into barrel OF herbs, as the fire broke
through the roof where the herb barrel stood
The barn standing few feet from the house was
saved, although 1t took fire several times. There
was an old bureau in which Mr.. Bagley kept his
papers, which, with its contents, thirty-two dol
lars in money and his insurance policy were
burned. Mr.. Bagley arrived home while his
house was all ablaze, and was perfectly crazy he
required three or four men to prevent him from
rushing into the burning building, Citizens are
subscribing very literally towards helping him
rebuild, which with his insurance will nearly or
quite make up his loss. :. On Tuesday OF last
week o. 7. Curtis was brought before Elijah
Emery, Esq. on complaint Of States Attorney
Harvey for the alleged crime Of rape upon young
| daughter OF George farnham. The respondent
asked for continuance to give him an opportu-
| nifty 10 procure counsel. which was granted until
| Friday, the nth inst Respondent was required
to furnish bail for his appearance In court at that
time for $500, The justice, instead OF passing the
complaint and warrant over To the officer, re.
tanned them In his own hands and permitted re-
spondent to go out to find some one to bail him
lie thought leg bail the easiest for him to get
took 1t, and has not been seen here since.
James Rouhan one evening last week was riding
out with his little daughter Lille and his hired
girl In attempting to 20 past team the buggy

| Lille striking on her face, knocking out on,
tooth, cutting her lip and bruising her face con
sderably. The hired girl was not seriously
injured.

MAD RIVER VALLEy.-The voters of Fayston
held a town meeting last Saturday to elect a clerk
and agent, to serve in place OF Willard b Porter
whose rapidly falling health has compelled him
to resign said offices. lie has been elected town
clerk thirty consecutive years, and that he
has been faithful and obigng officer his re-
peated reflections prove conclusively. He will
be greatly missed by his townsmen in their bust
ness d. S. Stoddard was elected clerk, and G. o.
Boyce agent. Haying has not progressed very
rapidly thus far, the unfayorable weather making
it slow business, except when the hay-makers see
a shower coming, when it becomes hnrying
business for the time. Grass is good ON the up
land farms, much better than the lowland mead
ows, probably owing mostly to the large body Of
snow that chung to the hills till so late that the
May drouth did no serious damage. Grain is
looking well though late, corn notably so, but it
is of good color and coming rapidly forward now.
| &c. o. Boyce has eleven acres in wheat OF the
Lost Nation variety, and seven acres in corn-a
small show for the West but pretty well for Yer
| mont Mr.. Boyce recently lost a COW, the cause
OF which was somewhat mysterious; the COW
was apparently well when MIXED at night, and
dead at eight o'clock next morning She was
badly boated, but no other marks OF disease were
discernible except black spot on the side, which
gave rise to the suppostion that she might have
been hooked or otherwise injured internally. The
rest of the herd remain healthy. Mrs. George
