A sad accident happened to
little son of A. D. Whitman OF Ches'
ter, last week. The boy was skating
and fell backward upon the ice VIII
| such force as 10 fracture his skull. Ills
recovery is doubtful.
The folly and wickedness of practl-
cal Jokes was illustrated by boy en-
pIoyed in the Ascutney mills, at Wind
sor. A girl employed in the same
room had removed her shoes, and left
them living on the floor near one OF
the SINNERS. In her absence, the boy
nailed the shoes to the floor. Suisse

them up, thrust her left hand into the

TO Texas, but intend spending the

A peculiar illustration of the danger
of carrying concealed firearms, is
afforded, by recent occurrence at
the Bates House in Rutland. A
gentleman who carried a revolver
in the hip pockets of his pants, was
playing billiards, and in the act of
STOPPING over to make a shot, drew
back the hammer of the pistol in such
a way as to cause its discharge. The
ball struck the hardwood floor, glanced
aud boun led against a table, ana
thence to the wall. Fortunately, no
one stood in its path, and no further
harm was done than the spelling of a
good pocket. and an hours fun.

the hammers used, this operation took
another month. The road was now
covered throughout its length with a
bed of broken stone ranging from the
| size of cOcoanut to the size of a mans
head. or course it was utterly use
less for traffic. After two weeks more
of delay the engineers carted earth
and covered up these stones, then car
riages could get over the road, but the
engineers did not wish them to use it,
so they dug ditch across the road.
During another two weeks they fused
over the road, rolling, breaking up the
bigger stones ana rolling again until
they had produced Il tolerably smooth
surface. The ditch that barred ac-
cess to the road was filed up by the
people, and the road was at last put
to use; but the engineers had not fin
iShed the road at the other end and
they declared that they would not al
low the first section to he worn out in
that style before the last section was
done, so they built tight board fences
prevent traffic. 1t was as if road
was being built from Morrisville to
johnson, and the first section should
be shut up to keep the Hyde Park
folks from using it until the whole
was finished. Only the population
depending ON this road thus detrauded
and made to go afoot, was equal in
number to the population of all oil
Lamoille county ;and there was no help
for it. II was only last week, after
nearly five months of 4" roadlessness y
that we were at last allowed to begin to
use our great highway again. The

America are looking for party which
shall not think how to win votes, but
a party that shall think how to deserve
success. Ills is a grand idea, but a
party of that kind, old enough to stand

for a party that in the nature of
