 -Frederick Remmert was knocked down by a stone while going home from the German club room early Sunday morning, Aug. 3d. had Frank Ohls arrested upon suspicion of being his assailant. The hear ing was before Justice Spellman on Mon day of this week. There was much local interest in the case, and Lawyer Turner's office was well filled during the hearing. The evidence was circumstantial and con- tradictory. It appears that there had been difficulty between the two men at the club room during the evening. Jus tice Spellman considered that the evidence was clear as to breach of the peace, and fined Ohls $7 and costs, from which de- eision an appeal was made.
 Orion Clark, a barber recently en- pIoyed by J. H. Clark of this village, hung himself at Brattleboro, Vt., on Saturday. He left this village last week and return ed to Brattleboro, where he wished to open shop, but became Respondent be- cause of failure to borrow the required capital. The Sprin gfeld Republican says :: ssHe belonged to a good family, was fairly educated and, being well liked, had good O years ago, however, he became possessed with craze for getting rich and thought he had the secret in hair lotion which he invented. He sold out his barber shop and put his funds into "Orion's hair lus- ter" from which rich results were expect ed. All the country around Bratteboro and the surrounding towns was plastered with showy hand bills bearing picture of the constellation Orion and various high flown recommendations of the Cluster. !" People considered Clark little crazy then. In a short time his bubble burst, and poorer but apparently wiser, he went back to his trade. Last fall he sold his bus mess again and invested in patent rights. A second failure to make money drove him crazy and to suicide. He leaves wife and an aged father, the latter living near Orange, Mass.
 The Savings Bank of Stafford Springs has got it's new burglar proof safe, which is a fine piece of mechanism. / The safe proper weighs s7,6O0. pounds, and is en- clesed in afre-proof shell weighing ], ADO pounds additional. It is from the manu- factory of Geo. L.. Damon, Boston, and is no doubt barglar-proof so far as any safe made can be. The outer door has an elecA trio time lock. The electric part of the name applies only to arrangements for at- taching battery for opening it when the works become disarranged. Any effort to forcibly enter the safe can only so disar- range the lock as to make the use of the battery necessary, and the battery cannot effect its work in any less than the time on which the lock is set. The inner door also has 8 combination lock, parts of which can be given in keeping of four different per sons, and the presence of each of which is necessary to effect an opening. Including the outer shell door there are thus three fastenings to unloose, and the inside is chiefly of iron drawers, also well fastened Twelve small drawers are for individual depositors, and five larger ones for the banks yaluables. Besides this safe the bank has also its old safe, larger one, and deemed burglar proof when built, but as before will keep its most valuable de- posits in city vaults.
