The telegram Saturday morning, an
nouncing the death of Edward Dana
at Vineyard Haven, summer resor
near Boston, where he had been stop
ping with his family, was great sur
prise to our citizens. Dir. Dana wa!
here a few weeks ago with his son
visiting friends, and was, to all ap
pearance, in perfect health. He was
sick but few days from lvel
trouble. Age, GO years. He was
one of our wealthiest men, and made il
all himself in the hardware business il
Boston and New York, and his deatl
will cause quite shaking up in finan'
cial circles here and elsewhere.
A short time ago some nine persons
broke Jail in Michigan town, and
among them was one Neddo, for whose
capture reward of S25 was offered.
Last Friday said Neddo struggled into
town and went to the bosom of his wife
in the old Joe Robinson house, near
Tattsville, where she and the children
had been stopping for some time.
Sheriff Hewitt had his eye "peeled'
for him, and about II o'clock at night,
with a "posse" of nine of his "best
men," went down and captured him,
and he is now in Jail here awaiting the
arrival of an officer from Michigan to
take him back. He says he is charged
with defrauding his partner of a small
sum of money and was jailed to await
trial, but thought he would walk out
when the other boys did, and now he
is sorry he done so.
Three of the Windsor "NIolly Ma
CURES" are in Jail here. They were
sued by Mr.. Darrell for private dam
ages, and were out on bail. The bail
got "scat" and surrendered them last
week.
Staples & ClarE's Ministries and the
Woodstock tenor drum corps, (home
talent) who amused our citizens by
parading our streets on the night of
the Fourth, will "show themselves
again next Saturday evening, at Z
o'clock. Owners of skittish horses
take warning, as several were fright
ened when they were out before.
The ladies of the Methodist church
will hold another of those popular ice
cream sociables in the church vestry
Friday evening of this week. Will be
open from 7 o'clock until 10.
BURGLARY-THE Posi- OFFICE BROK-
EN- OPEN.-Great excitement here this
morning over the Post-Oflicc burglary.
About one o'clock last night, Mr.
Gleason, assistant postmaster, who
rooms over the office, heard noise I'M
derneath and visions of burglars seized
his mind. He dressed himself at once,
aroused Sheriff Hewitt, who lives a
short distance from the scene of the
burglary, told him what was going
on, and they prepared for the atfray in
a shot, but neglected to call cut the
company that went down to Taftsville
there is where they missed it. While
getting ready they heard the noise of
the safe being blown open. They made
grand rush, surprised the burglars,
who took to their heels across lots in
rear of the bank, and escaped on Cen
trail street. While getting over fence
Mr.. Hewitt fired at one-thinks there
must have been more-and he dropped
his hat and dark lantern, bnt Mr..
Burglar did not stop to recover them.
The safe is perfect wreck. The sur
prise was so sudden that they left their
jimmies, sledges, etc., in the Office.
1t was evidently the work of profess
SIGNALS, and it was thorough as far as
they went. They did not get much,
only about $50, mostly in stamps.
There was more stamps and two boxes
of change in the safe, which they over
looked in their haste.
Henry W. English, Esq, has re-
turned from his Eastern and Western
trip in excellent health and spirits. All
remember the Frenchman who went in
search of the fountain of youth and
failed. We really believe Mr.. Eng
lish has succeeded, for those annual
visits to his friends seem to renew his
youth. All were glad to see him
home safe.
Our friend, Mr.. A. Hatch, has our
thanks for those little fishes SPILLED in
