Canon. Seven teachers presented tnemselye ~
at the spring examination. wv. S. Atkins cut
upon his farm few months ago hemlock tree
which counted four hundred and forty grains Of
wood. This must have been quite sapling when
America was discovered. He cut from it, as near
as he recollect, fifteen hundred feet Of lumber
and any amount of cord wood. .Sugaring closed
up last week. 1t has been an unusually good sea-
son. on an average three pounds to tree, and some
farmers report high as four and one half pounds
to a tree. I'VE regret that no movement has yet
been made to build up the business district in the
village. We understand that parties are ready to
build, but the owners Of the land Barre Bank
have got their figures so high no one will buy
it, We think it would be more for the interest
Of the owners Of the land to sell it for fair price
than to let 1t idle. Frank b. Cate has sold the
Benjamin Cate farm on Cabot Plain to Joshua
Cate for $1,000.

ANTHRACITE WASTE BURNING LOCOMOTIVES
The Boston Journal Of April I'd contained the fol-
lowing: The utilization Of anthracite waste, of
which there are hundred millions of tons around
the mines and breakers in Pennsylvania is most
desirable accomplishment, and the Globe Com
pany's inventions will be OF immense benefit to
all railroads using anthracite coal for fuel. They
have already refused the offer of one railroad in
Pennsylvania for the exclusive use of their an
thracte waste-burning patents on the engines Of
that line. Although that company offered ten
per cent annually on the entire capital Of the
Globe Company, the manager would not restrict
the to one railroad but decided to build loco
motives exactly in accordance with the Globe
Company's plans and patents These locomotives
will not differ materially in outward appearance
from the general style In use, but be so con-
structed internally as to run with great economy
and cleanliness to the advantage of all owning
railroad stocks and the comfort and convenience
Of the travelling public. That the enterprise Of
the erection OF the Globe Companys Locomotive
Works will be exceedingly profitable cannot be
doubted, as the knowledge of the Globe Com
pany's patents is extended The stock, in the
judgment of many, will exceed in dividends any
ever paid by the American Screw Company"

the best wishes of their many friends for their
success and happiness New York and Chicago
papers please copy -. The public examination
Of teachers on Saturday was poorly attended, only
three teachers being present. Each applicant
passed a satisfactory examination, and it is hoped
the work they are about to commence will be
thoroughly done. Miss Florence Powers will
teach in No. l, Miss Edith Lord at Cutler Corner,
and Miss orpah Houghton in the Kimball district.
Several other districts in town have not yet en-
gagged teachers. The house OF Francis Curtis is
undergoing extensive repairs and alterations, both
outside and inside. On the side facing the street a
piazza is to extend the entire length of the main
part Of the house, adding much to its convenience
and elegance

CHELsEA.-Mr. and Mrs. William II. Cum
mings, formerly Of this place but now of Brad
ford, became the parents OF twin daughters last
week Tuesday, but one Of them has since died.
...At the examination of teachers on Saturday
fourteen received certificates. Several failed to
pass and number of others had but narrow
margin. The best sugar yield hereabouts is re-
ported by Amos Emery, whose one hundred and
twenty-six trees have yielded nine hundred and
ninety and one-half pounds. DR.. G. X. Bag
ley lately lost $50 horse. DR.. o. A, Gee, the
homeopathist, finally decided not to locate here.
Charles Puffer is very i'll with infammatory
rheumatism, and George Scales is reported to be
failing with consumption. The new tax law is
success here. The list Of the town has been
about doubled, and in district No. 2, tripled.
Only two taxpayers failed to fill out their inven-
tories though some others held out until the elev
enth hour. One person was admitted to the
Congregational church on profession on Sunday.

Daring Burglary In Marshneid.

Between two and three o'clock Tuesday morn
ing Mr.. George q. Davis Of Marshfeld, having
risen to answer cali from his hired man, saw,
by the light OF his lantern, a man standing in the
door a few feet from him with pistol pointed at
him. Mr.. Davis struck the man and seized him
by the arm, when the burglar fred the ball pass
ing through Mr.. Davis wrist and within few
inches OF the head Of his infant child sleeping in
the crib The burglar then sprang through the
window, sash and glass, and disappeared Sheriff
futile was telegraphed, and that officer Arrived
on the early train from Montpelier. Calling
James Boutwell, to his assistance, Sheriff futile,
with several Others started up the track in a
hand-car, and near Peabodys Station the burglar
was discovered asleep In sort OF a pit formed by
an abandoned fill in the construction Of the rail-
road. When Sheriff futile and Mr.. Boutwell, en-
tered the pit the man awoke and was instantly
on his feet, facing the officers with pistol. The
latter, armed with pistols, cautiously advanced
toward the man. When within a few feet Of him,
he, for an instant, took his eyes from Sheriff Tut
tie, as II looking to see II there was any way OF
retreat. In that instant Sheriff futile sprang
upon him, delivering him stunning blow upon
the back OF his head with the butt of his pistol
Simultaneously with the officer, Boutwell, sprang
upon the man, his pistol accidentally discharging
but innlcting no wounds. After a tussle the man
was overpowered and ironed. He bled freely
from scalp wound inflicted by Sheriff Tuttle's
blow, but had received no serious injury. He
was brought to Montpelier on the evening train
and lodged in jail. Two watches stolen from Mr.
Davis were found upon him. The revolver he had
stolen from Blanchard Brothers, in this village,
Saturday, and there was found upon him a large
assortment OF knives, which he is reported to
have stolen at Barre. He refuses to give his
name, is apparently from twenty to twenty-five
years Of age and halls from Pennsylvania. He is a
hard looking fellow The GOODNESS and courage
displayed by Sheriff Tuttle and Mr.. Boutwell, in
their encounter with the rascal in the pit is worthy
of all commentator. It was one of those situa-
tons in which the average man would vastly
prefer absence Of body to the presence of mind
which the requirements OF the moment demanded.
The prisoner will have his hearing in Montpelier
to-day
