North Danville.

North Danvi1le.
One day last week Mrs. Geo. Green
bank of South Danville, with two chill
dren and hired girl, started in a COW
cred carriage to 60 to visit Mrs. Green
banks father, Mr.. F. w. Green of North
Danville, and had got near Mr.. Charles
MOrrilPs place in North Danville, when
they stopped at the house of the hired
girls father for the purpose of leaving
her there, and while stopped the horse
put his head down to feed, when the
bride slipped off and he at once started
upon the run, the carriage and occu-
pants went in safety until they reached
the turn by the Baptist church in North
Danville village, when the carriage was
upset and the occupants thrown out.
Mrs. Greenbank and one child were
taken up insensible and taken to her
fathers, where they were soon restored
to consciousness, and upon examination
it was found no bones were broken, but
as yet Mrs. Greenbank is not able to
return home. The horse ran into Mr..
Norris's barn, where he cleared himself
from the carriage without much injury
to itself or carriage. The distance run
was about mile and all the way down
hill, and it was fortunate that the car
riage was not overthrow at some of
the rough places on the way where
the results would probably have been
more disastrous.

A Little Strike.

Orcutt & Pinard, box and bedstead
manufacturers at Paddock village, expe-
rienced last Friday one of those business
waves so common in these days in large
cities, in the shape of a strike. The
firm had noticed beforehand that some
thing was in the wind, and when one
man called for more pay, who was get
ting SI.25 per day, soon another and
then another made the same demand,
which was refused. Nine men have
quit work, but the proprietors say it
has happened, if it must happen, in a
time when the firm would suffer the
least by it. Though they regretted to
have the thing occur, yet these men
will not be taken back again, but 9TH

This vicinity was visited with a
severe storm of wind and rain last Sat-
urday afternoon. Many farmers were
struggling to get in or cock up the hay
they had out, but all did not quite sue
coed. The corn, which is getting to
quite growth, was badly laid over,
aud in some places some of it was bro
ken down. Aside from this we learn
of no particular damage done. Tuesday
night of this week we were blest with
most refreshing rain. 1t came stead
lily a greater part of the night, and in
just the right manner to do good.

There is hardly anything in better
taste, or will add more to the beauty OF
a home, than few thrifty, handsome
trees. We think all should set out
some where it can be done just as well
as not. But there is an extreme to
this, as we frequently notice. The
covering up of buildings by planting
too many, and getting them too near,
is not only in bad taste, but unhealthy

often the representation of his charac-

and they soon become more like friends

loved the old sugar-place so well, that
they named all the trees; and as long
as the forest stood, the various trees
and their names were remembered
We think of these things by noticing

Since the extra trains have been
put upon the roads, it would seem
there was life enough to suit the most
exacting business public. The passing
and repassing of trains, with the almost
constantly sounding whistle, keeps
this particular business regularly in the
foreground. One can hardly wake in
the night without hearing the distant
rumbling of cars. Of course all are
glad of this, for it is the index of pros
perity. The new management upon
the st. Johusbury and Lake Champlain
road is already discernable. This road
has now strong team in every sense
of the word, and there is no doubt at
all but its business is increasing.

Vulgar Language.

A distinguished author says: 81
resolved when / was child never
to use a word which / could not pro-
nounce before my mother without
offending her."
His rule and example are worthy
of imitation. Boys readily learn a
class oflow, vulgar expressions that
are never heard in respectable cir
cles. The utmost care on the part
of the parents will scarcely prevent
it. Or course, we cannot think OF
girls being exposed to the peril. We
cannot imagine girl using words
she would not give utteranee TO be-
fore her father or mother. Such vul.
garity is thought by some boys to
be smart; the next thing to swear
ing, and yet not 80 wicked. But it
is a habit which leads to profanity,
and fills the mind with evil thoughts.
1t vulgarizes and degrades the soul,
and prepares the way Tor many OF
the gross and fearful sins which now

Sad Case of HydrOphObia.

New Haven Register.
A sad case of hydrophobia has
occurred in a family in Providence
which will undoubtedly result fatal
ly to one member thereof. Harry,
son of Charles Molyneaux, who re
sides at No. 55 Ship street, was bit
ten by dog severely on the left
side of his face, four years ago, in
Isondon, England. His parents had
the wound cauterized at the time
and feared no further results. Last
winter the family emigrated to No
va Scotia, and while there the boy
was again bitten by a pet dog,
which belonged to Mrs. Molly
neaux's sister, quite seriously in the
left hand. The injury, however,
healed up and nothing more was
thought about it. About IL
O'Clock last Saturday night the boy
was taken suddenly with spas ms
and frothing at the mouth, and be-
gan acting like one in a fit. DIR.
Ballou was called and pronounced
the boys troubles apoplectic fits.
The lad, instead of growing better,
however, grew worse, and showed
strong symptoms of hydrophobia,
The boy grew very violent, SC
much so that he had to be bound
down to the bed to keep HIM from
pulling everything to pieces. He
would jump from the bed to the
floor, and upon his hands and
knees would crawl and bark like &
dog. His mother at such times
would pick him up in her arms and
place him on the bed again, and il
order to hold him there was com
PEELED to throw her weight upoI
him. At these times he woult
bite and scratch his mother wher
ever he happened to get hold, ant
her arms were completely covered
with his bites from her wrist 20 he
shoulder. His father who did wha
he could to render aid to his boy
was also bitten in seveal places
The facts of the matter becoming
more generally known, it was de
cided that the child should be sen
to the Rhode Island hospital, so h
was carried there about A o'clocl
yesterday afternoon by Sergean
hurry and Officer Morton. Harry
who is IL years of age, is a remark
ably bright boy, being familia
with the Latin and French Ian
guages. besides being fairly educf
ted for a boy so young. Up to las
Saturday he was employed as
cash boy In the Boston stor'
