JouN LAvIGSE. who had his arm cut off by
circular saw at Ridley's Station, last Satur-
day, had a very narrow escape from death,
Proudentially, DR.. Washburn of Waterbury
was near by and directed one of the work
men where TO place his thumb TO arrest the
flow of blood which was squirting from the
severed arteries, while he tied the minor ar
teries. Not having his surgical instruments
with him, he was unable to pick up the main
arteries which were severed, but applying
his thumb TO them he held them compressed
till assistance could arrive from Waterbury,
four miles distant. After an hour and Il
half, DR.. Washburn was relieved from his
wearisome task by the arrival of DR.. James,
and the injured man was properly cared for.
Mr.. Lsvine grieved piteously, after emerging
from the influence of ether, over the loss of
bis good right arm, but TO DR.. Washburns
skill in taking up part of the arteries with
out instruments, and grit in holding on TO
the main arteries till assistance arrived, he is
indebted for his life.

WATERBuRY.-JudgeC ressett of Duxbury
has made 1000 pounds of maple sugar. In
the best of sugar seasons he makes 5000
pounds. This is about fair proportion OF
the yield of maple sugar this year. as CON-
pared with other seasons. Sugar orchards
on the high hills have done better than those
on the lower lands. The average crop is
about eighty per cent of what is made in
the bes, seasons. Timothy Wheeler of Wa
terbury Centre, the ''old prob" for sugar
makers, wrote in his memorandum, January
1, 1880, Sugar season will be good, but not
The best" Wheeler has been for several
years making extensive experiments with
maple trees. He can stop the flow of sap al
will and make white, fine-favored sugar, and
colored sugar that tastes of the bud from
the same tree on the same day.

The murder at Duxbury, detailed in our
telegraphic dispatches, is one of the most
singular in conception and shocking in execu-
ton Of recent times. The extraordinary
method adopted of putting the unfortunate
little girl out of the world, the concealment of
the remains in the recesses of the swamp, the
confession Of one of the co!d-blooded murder
ers duplicating his own mother, and the final
discovery of the remains, form story of
thrilling interest and one which proves anew
that truth is stranger than fiction. "The
dark places of the earth are filled with the
habitations of cruelty" and no doubt the
poor unfortunate was happier, laid in her
dreadful grave than ever in life; but muir
der so wanton and so cold-blooded requires
the most searching examination and the
exactest Justice to the murderers
