GENERAL NOTES.

A curious monster of the sea, mea-
suring about forty feet in length and
shaped like a serpent, was captured at
Margaret, Cape Breton, last week.
About thirty fishermen, armed with
axes and harpoons, succeeded in killing
it after desperate struggle.
A tramp consented to do small job
at digging post holes at Carson, Neva-
da, though labor was contrary to his
custom. He returned to his employ
er's house i'm an hour, threw down his
spade, and said he had changed his
mind. He had found $3.50 worth of
gold bars which some miner had bur-
led.
Fishermen engaged in the Greenland
fishery say they never experienced any
thing like the terrific ice blockade which
now extends down TO the fitty-second
parallel of latitude. The field ice lying
to the eastward of Newfoundland, the
southern extremity of which now bears
120 miles distant from st. Johns, is OF
the heaviest foe description. ThOus-
ands of icebergs are to be seen.
Tho demands of the watch trade in
this country now amount to 5000
watches a day. of this number the
large manufactures of the United
States produce 1859 day, as follows:
The Waltham factory, $50; the Elgin
500; Springfield, H., 80; Hampden
watch company, 80; Howard, 20; Ian
caster, so; Rockford, 40; and lots o.
them are produced by smaller estab
| lishments.

LEICESTER.

How proud we feel down this way
to think that we have gained the as
founding numbered four i'm population
in the last ten years! At this rate we
can easily ascertain the length of time
that must elapse before Leicester vii
lage becomes thriving city of 10000
Inhabitants. We fear our young peo-
pie will become quite venerable old
maids and bachelors If they should live
to see that time.
"A. f. Stanley the census enumera-
tor for this town, reports a serious la
Dor in ascertaining what the town ID

Time was suppressed except in the
free for all race.
"A week ago last Saturday after
noon there was an occurrence at the
Glen House, East Middlebury which
has caused some excitement
William Allen, the son of the proprie.
tor, being at the time more or less in
toxicated, went down TO his fathers
wine cellar along with Geo. Sumner,
to get pitcher of wine for some COM
panions. His parents had, forbidden
his going to the cellar, and his mother
went down and found him picking the
lock with his knife. She tried to get
him to leave, and on his refusing went
for Mr. Allen. The latter came and
found that he had entered lie cellar and
drawned some wine. They come out
of the cellar and Mr.. Allen locked the
door and tried 10 induce bis son to give
mp the pitcher, which he refused to do.
Sumner tried TO persuade young Allen
to give up the wine and in approach
ing him il is said that he stumbled and
cought hold of yonng Aliens arm. 1t
seems that the latter still held in his
hand the knife, pocket knife with a
blade three and quarter inches long,
with which he picked the lock, and in
some way he struck Summers arm,
making cash entirely through the
flesh part below the elbow. Young
Allen appeared to be frightened at
what he had done. He went up stars,
with the knife in one hand and the
pitcher in the other, and when his COM
panions for whom he got the wine APP
preached him he flonrished the knife
and told them to keep away. His
friends say that the stabbing was entire
ly accidental, and that young Sumner
says the same. 1t seems probable that
II, in his condition at the time, he had
any murderous thoughts
against Sumner he wouId have used
he knife a little differently. A war
rant was issued for lbs arrest short
lime afterwards but he had disappear
ed and has not been seen since. He is
said to be very quiet, genial young
nan, and much liked. The moral is
% remove the temptation to liquor
drinking from young men.
