Another ball at the Franklin Co.
House, July End, and, as usual, a
good company. There is one thing we
can do here, and that is to dance and
another thing, we always pay the
fiddler.
Mr.. r. S. Olmstead was seriously
injured last Tuesday week by being
thrown from wagon while trying to
stop his runaway team. He was
taken up insensible and carried home.
DR.. Belden was called and after a time
succeeded in bringing him to. No
bones were found broken, but that he
had sustained severe shock to the
nervous system. He is in fair way
to recover now.
Dogs are at q discount with us
just now, owing to the havoc made by
them among the sheep. Mr.. Olmstead
recently lost two imported sheep
valued at $500. And now Mr.. Gould
has had IS out of flock of 80 fine
sheep killed. The question now is,
who is to pay for them, as the owners
Of the dogs cannot be proved, and
there is not "dog money" enough in
the treasury to make good the loss?
Our earlier predictions IN regard
to the hay crop was little prema-
ture, for we now hear of many farms
where the soil is rather light bearing a
poor crop, but where the land is in
heart the grass looks well. We have
not had as much rain as some of the
towns near us. Situated as we are
between the Lamoille and Missisquoi
rivers, we often see the much wished
for rain clouds passing either to right
or left of lis, leaving us dry and parch
ed, while all around are enjoying re-
freshing showers.

"A special passenger train on the
South Eastern railroad made fast time
between St. Lambert and Newport one

1t is our sad duty to announce
the death of the wife of our respected
citizen, j. w. Sheldon, which occur
red one week ago last Sunday, after a

who, yenturing but little into society,
devote their whole life to their families.

Careful Steamboat Management

The large number of steamboat dis
asters Of late will doubtless cause the
travelling public to shun steamboat
travel as much as possible, or patron
ize those lines on which few, if any, ac-
cidents occur, 1t gives us pleasure to
publish the following article from the
Springfield Republican in regard to
the Portland steamers which are so
largely patronized by residents along
the line Of the P. & o. Railroad:
If Capt, j. B. Coyle, managing director
of the company that runs the steamboats,
between Boston and Portland correctly
reports its methods and policy, the com
pany not only deserve high rank but
furnishes an example from which other
steamship lines should learn something.
Its boats have been running 40 years, car
rying millions of passengers, and have
never lost one. The company places it.
self under bonds to be extremely careful
by having no marine insurance on its
boats and only enough fire insurance to
partly cover the freight. No eXtra-haz-
ardous freight is taken, and no gas for il
Illuminating is burned on board, but only
oil that will not ignite at a temperature
below 3O0o There are life-preservers
for more persons than are ever carried
and also enough lite-boats for the whole
crowd, while all other requirements of
the law are rigidly executed. The com
pany has had Il system of weather proba-
bilities for 20 years, the outlook at the
other end of the line each night being tel
egraphed just before the steamer starts.
and when there is Il fog the speed is re-
duced from Il to s miles an hour. But
one of the best features is system of pro-
motion among the employees, which is al
ways dependent on merit, and it is true
not only that few die and none ever
resign but that there is thorough drill
in all the methods of work. The captain
thinks that rum is at the bottom of some
of these ccidents'-perhaps having in
mind the terrible Bohemian disaster near
Portland in lSG4-and the bars on his
boats were long since closed. Probably
the management of these steamboats, is
not perfect, but there is evidently sense
of responsibility on them that is lacking
on many other lines, and the absence of
an insurance fund to fall back on furnish
es motive for care which should be pro-
vided in other cases by more stringent
laws placing the companies under heavy
pecuniary liability in case of harm to the
passengers.

"A pair of prairie wolves may be
seen securely Gagged in the yard of
Gilman Moody. They are but few
weeks old and were recently brought

character while at large on their native
plains.
"A few guests have arrived at the
Hotel which gives summertime APP
pearance. AT least it has brought

expectancy, but our waiting is very
patient.
The 10th anniversary of Ameri-
can independence was celebrated here
by continual rattle of toy pistols and
fire-crackers. This was in a measure
annoying to the many horses hitchCd
about our stores, but this pleasure of
our youth occasioned no harm and they
will on the next anniversary be privi-
lodged to further celebrate the eX-
pressed will of our centennial fathers.
Elder Fuller and his daughter,
Mrs. Wilcox, and her child about
three years old, were recently riding
after very young and spirited horse
down Waterbury river on their way to
Huntington, and as they were passing
a house a dog rushed out, barking
furiOusly at them, and continuing to
do SO for some distance, the Elder
alights from the buggy and commences
to chastise canine with stones and
forcible epithets with the view of driv-
ing him back, leaving Mrs. Wilcox
and child in the carriage. About this
time there was Il good deal of minis
terial, canine and equine excitement,
for while the good Elder and the dog
were contending for the mastery of the
situation, the horse improves his OPP
portunity and induced by little fear
rs to the result of the issue between
his master and his opponent, as affect
ing his own safety, takes himself to
flight. This condition of things was
rot anticipated by our moral teacher
of both men and dogs, and with a
eoh0a at one breath and a get ont at the
next, he witnesses his daughter and
her child being whirlcd rapidly away,
his mind being filled with anticipations
of the most terrible results. Though
''the dog had him completely surround
ed" with Davidian skill he soon sent
the canine yelping to his kennel, while
he sought the whereabouts of his
daughter, whom he found in safety
about half u mile distant. She, by
her commendable presence Of mind
and exemplary horsemanship, had sue
ceeded in stopping the steed and thus
avoiding serious if not fatal injury to
herself and child.
