was rescued in an insensible state by
Frank Lemaire and carried into the
hotel. and after half an hours hard work
by two physicians he was resuscitated.
The boy had been subject to fits of dz-
illness. and it is thought that his fall
into the river may have occurred in one
of them.
A hearing was had at Rutland last
week in the case of the State against II.
w. Love, who was arrested the previous
Sunday night on complaint of Grand
Juror Spellman, for attempting rape on
Jennie Rowe, 13 years old. living as
servant last year in Loves family.
After the examination of Jennie Rowe,
Lawyer Baker, who assisted Spellman,
advised nolie proSequi, as the evidence
of the girl was insufficient to base the
complaint. The court discharged Love.

raigned before Justice Bailey, on com
plant of Lula Love, aged Is, niece of

When the conference committee on en-
tertainment were looking for places to
put expected clergymen, they applied at
Il residence at the upper end of North
Main street. The lady of the house eX-
pressed herself as willing to entertain II
couple of delegates, but said it would be
Il long distance for any one to walk.
The committee considered the matter. and
their idea of the ''eternal fitness of
things will be appreciated when it is
seen that to the family in question they
assigned the Rev. Mcssrs. Jump and
Walker 81. Albans Messenger.
The maple sugar season of 1888 is a
pronounced failure. Owners of maple
orchards tell us that there has been
scarcely good sap day thus far, and
that the succulent flow of the sugar
bush has nearly stopped. Sugar has
been made only in small lots and but
little was offered in market today. 1t is
the poorest sugar year for forty years
Dealers and families who have supply
of the crop of 1882 on hand are in luck.
The frost is nearly out of the ground
and the trees in some localities are put
ting forth their buds. The failure of
the sugar crop will make the income of
our Vermont farmers less this year by
nearly 81 .000, 900 than in former years
when there has been an average yield of
sugar 81. Adams Messenger.
In the Vermont conference at st.
Albans, Monday, the committee on the
Burlington district question reported.
They refer to a claim that the former
union of the Burlington district with the
nnfa Al
say official statistics show the contrary
as to spiritual, financial and numerical
matters. The report expresses desire
to treat the proposition of the Troy
conference with courtesy and do all
possible to stimulate the success of
christian fraternity and work in the
State. They recommend commission
be appointed to confer with the Troy
committee. Rev. j. j. Noe, presiding
elder of the Burlington district, made II
long argument in behalf of the transfer
to Troy conference. He said to refuse
the transfer would be unbrotherly and
selfish. The report was adopted by II
large majority. The amendment, that
the commission be instructed to re-cede
the Burlington district to the Troy CON
ference. was defeated after an exciting
discussion.

As John McNicl was plowing. few
days ago, on the farm of Nj. T. Mott. on
the west shore of Alburgh. he plowed
up three pieces of ancient silver coin,
This he carried in his pocket for a few
days, when he happened to mention the
circumstance to MIR. Mott and a few
others. The news soon spread and
parties began to examine the ground
where the money was found. They
were rewarded by finding several pieces
of silver, and the excitement began, and
the next morning (April 2l) rs early as
five O'Clock Il. m. parties from all that
section of the town might be seen wcnd-
ing their way with eager steps toward
the coveted field, with spades, shovclS,
hoes, etc. on their sacks to search for
the hidden coin. Mr. Mott. in the mean
time, had decided to reserve his mine for
his own benefit and to stop the prospect
ing, but before he had arrived upon the
ground about 30 had got there and were
busy at work, and had already found
several pieces. lie at once summarily
