Exploded Sunday evening. From tho
reports received from reliable wit
ncsses it would appear to have been an
awful affair. All the glass in the neigh

people killed, and one cat so excited
that she spit turiously. We haven't had
time to investigate the matter.

tans are occupying tho stage at

first being a Worcestcr's dictionary, the
second set of Lippincotts readers,
the third smaller " orcestcr's diction-

say David had a dictionary, which was
the reason he preferred TO take the &C.

here on the evening of Nov. 2. The
Manchester (N.u) Mirror says of it i:
"lloworth's Double Show was prcsen-
ted in the Opera House last evening
to a greatly pleased audience, that was
so large in number that almost every
available sitting was taken. lIoworth's |
Hibernica has visited this city before.
consequently the amusement-going |
people of Manchester are familiar with |
its characteristics, but the programme
on past visits has never been 80 good as
at tho present time. In addition to the |
comedy features of the |
entertainment, which elected repeated |
encores, IAN exceedingly fine
panorama of scenes in Ireland was

past, present and future of Ireland.
1t is said that ali old party, with an |
air of conliding trust in things iii gem
cral, was in town the other day to do a |
stroke of business. lie had made some |
nice Old grape wine, which he wanted |
to part with for sEckcls. lie brought |
along Il sample iii bottle. and opening |
mp the subject TO a party in a store |
offered him taste. A large taste was
taken, and the recipient smackcd his |
lips and pronounced it "the real h'i,;s"
A lot or oJner thirsty ones gathered, TO
whom the bottle was passed around,
and it speedily reached condition OF
melancholy emptiness, amid the ap-
proving remarks of the samplers. When
the old gentleman became aware of the |
void created in the bottle, the look OF
benevolencc departed from his countc-
nance. lie was mad. lie said he
wanted damages, and no satisfactory |
response being made to this demand he
went ont to invoke the aid of tho blind
goddess. When he became convinced |
that he had been guilty of the high |
crime and misdemeanor OF furnishing |
intoxicating liquor, and was liable to |
the penalties thereof, he concluded TO |
be thankful that he had got his bottle |
back, but he sworc he would trust no |
more liquor TO the fender mercies of |
Middlcbury crowd.

Two sides to question. The folks at

that Mrs. Hunt was herself to blame |
for being carried by this depot. She |
had been told by the conductor al |
Leicester Junction, i'll answer to her
inquiry, that Middlebury was the second
station, but on arriving here she was
not in her seat and was not visible again
until the train was near Brooksville. !
Therefore il is claimed that the conduc-
tor could not be held responsible. In
the matter of the telegram, they say
that Mr.. Twtchcll had given express
orders to have MI kilograms to him put
in his box at the post Office, and there's
fore the operator could not be blamed
for not exercising his own judgment
in the matter. The conductor of the
train also tells us that he advised Mrs.
Hunt on her arrival at Burlington TO
telegraph 10 Geo. Marshall, which was
certainly advice she ought TO have fol-
lowed, aud 10 her neglect of it was due
the failure of the ladies here to learn
her arrangement. The matter of her
trunk not being checked in time is also
explained. MIR. Marshall in formes us
