A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. The
services of DR.. Pottle have been great
ly in demand the past few days, owing
to the number of accidents that have
occurred. Thursday of last week he
was called to Trudels mill in Norton,
where a Frenchman, at work on the
edger, had severely cut all the fingers
of his right hand, and in such a man
ner that the doctor had to amputate
the second finger. The following day
he attended one Belend, who, during
a scuffie, was accidentally stabbed in
the right wrist by pocket knife in
the hands Of his companion. The
blade punctured an artery causing
great hemorrhage. The next case
calling for the doctors assistance
happened on Monday last in FitZ
gerald's mill. Thomas Patterson was
the victim. He was engaged in haul.
ing up logs, when the lever which
starts up the haul-up gear flew back
striking him q terrific blow just above
the left eye, causing quite cash, reh.
dering surgical operation necessary
The same day, in the same mill, Wal.
ter Moy, while brushing some shaw.
ings away from in front of the planei
knives, allowed the little finger of his
left hand to slightly project, when il
was caught by one of the knives and
SO badly lacerated that amputation al
the second joint was resorted to. The
following day, Tuesday, George Foster
required the doctors aid. George had
been erecting staging at Mrs. Whit,
combs house, and by some means tell
his head striking with great force
against board studded with nails
the latter cutting two great gashes in
his head just over the left ear. The
doctor acted the part of good sa
marian, and now thinks he is entitled
to rest Well, we hope there'l bt
no mors accidents to monopolizo hil

with a constantly increasing patron
age, should induce him to remain

We had severe rain storm here last
Saturday, accompanied by heavy
thunder and lightning. The latter
played quite freak at J. II. Wolcott's
house. 1t struck the chimney, taking
out one corner down to the roof; from
thence it divided and visited nearly
every room in the house, even to the
cellar. In one room the runners were
thrown from the stove, and the ashes
scattered all about. Mr.. Wolcott's
boy, 10 years old, was sitting in the
doorway, one foot hanging out, when
the lightning entered his boot, burn
ing his foot quite badly, and paralyz-
ing his leg for the time being. DIR.
Badger was called and promptly rem,
dered relief. Aside from the injury tc
the boy, no one was hurt, but all the
in mates were more or less frightened

though Il seemingly strict search was
made, was not discovered until the

posure and badly bruised side, need

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD

Dear Sir, In reading the letter by
4" Orleans on "The Church Creed of
the Future" it suggested the idea that
it is unsatisfactory. All denomina-
tons pretend to teach to love their
neiylbor and their God. A good many
denominations believe in the Trinity,
and if n religious body changes its doc
times it is either from false to true, or
from true TO futse, or from false to
false. What, no doubt, will be the
universal Creed Of the Future is the
unchansing faith of the past, that faith
that :" the gates of hell" has not and
will not prevail against ; that "form
of sound Words" q Tim. I. 1877 which
st. Paul taught st. Timothy: Zone
Lord, one Faith" which st. Panl men,
tons in the Ephesians. The Rev. DR..
Schaff, q noted and most learned
Presbyterian divine, uttered these
words in regard to the oldest creed of
the Christian Church at the Belfast,
Ireland, Pan-Presbyterian Council,
held 35th June last, viz: Gle, for his
part, would have no difficulty to de.
clare, and he believed every brother
there who represented orthodoxy
would have no difficulty with ring
ing voice to declare, that he believed
and confessed the fundamental articles
of the Christian faith laid down in the
apostles Creed."-N. Y. Independent, 18th
inst, p. 902.-This creed is of the past
of the present, and will, no doubt, be
of the future, and DIR. Schaff is on the
right track. lie is looking for &C. the
faith once delivered to the saints" lie
is tracing the historical and never
changing truth designed for all Chris
tan people. In the darkest days OF
the Christian Church the truth has
existed in the hearts and minds oil
men, and history points out what doc
trines and what Church government
have always existed, and the writings
Of the New Testament bear witness to
these things. So let us seek to be
led into the way of truth, and hold
the faith in unity of spirit, in the bond
of peace, and in Righteousness of life"

Last Friday night, or early Saturday
morning, the drug store in this village
was burglariously entered, and vari.
Gus articles stolen. The burglar first
tried to gain admission on the side Of
the building by attempting to take
out one of the window panes, after
cutting through two wire blinds, but
finding this a more difficult job then
he had anticipated, went to the front
of the building and deliberately
kicked in one Of the large lights of
glass, using such force that fragments
of glass were found at the far end of
the store. Once inside the thief coolly
went to work first breaking open the
money drawer. Here he got little for
his pains, for the drawer, containing
some 10 or SIP in coppers, was jammed
tight in its case, owing to his bungling
method of forcing it. He next turned
his attention to the fancy articles but
evidently could not open the show
cases Us they and their contents, as Ear
as known by the proprietors, were UNI
disturbed. Various drawers were
opened and left open, and this served
to give clue as to what goods had
been stolen. The burglary was dis
covered about 3oclock OH Saturday
morning by DR.. Pottle, and Sheriff
Bonett being notified, at once sus-
pected stranger who had acted in q
suspicious manner the previous day,
and soon procured such evidence as
confirmed his suspicious. lie jmmedi'
ately started for Norton by the train
and finding no trace of his man re-
turned at once, working his way back
on the bumper" In the meantime
other parties had started in various
directions, determined to hunt the
thief down if possible. The telegraph
wires were called into requisition, and
one man was arrested at Groveton, N
H., but nothing could be found to con
meet him with the crime and he wa.
released. Mr.. Rawson, accompanied
by AL. Parker, went to West Charles
ton, but were unsuccessful and re
turned home, and again started to
wards Morgan, and by information
ELECTED on the route they soon becam,
convinced they were on the RICH
track. Mr.. Rawson found 8 razor il
the possession of q Mr.. Moulton o
Morgan, purchased that morning TO
SO cents. AS the razor was new, ant
the case had the private trade mari
of the firm, Joe and AL. redoubleC
their exertions and soon secured thei
man bringing him back to ISLAND
Pond about p. III. Shortly after, HI
was arraigred before Justice White
when he gave his name as Arthur Ca
shell. The evidence presented showeC
unmistakeable proofs of his guilt, es
pecially at the fact of his having asket
of citizen which was good store il
town as he would like to "go through
one," also the fact of his having SOLE
the razor to Mr.. Moulton, and to TIN
finding Of other stolen articles in hi
possession. Cashel refused any anG
all information about himself, declined
legal aid, and when the opportdnit.
was given him to testify in his OWL
behalf he replied "All | have to say j
| ain innocent" Justice White hel'
him for trial at the next term of on
county court, requiring bail in tn
sum OF 5000 for his appearance, ant
on the prisoner stating his inability t
procure bondsmen, he was conveye,
to jail the same evening by Sheril
Bopett and DR.. Pottlet
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1884-07-25

If this should meet the eye of any.
body who may have purchased arti-
Giles from the man now in Jail on a
charge of burglary, we hope that such
articles will be returned to the drug
store for the purpose of Identification.
BY adopting this course two-fold OBJ
ject may be attained, viz: In giving
Messrs. Rawson & Pottle an opportun-
ity to again procure their goods by re
funding the amount paid for them,
also an opportunity to ascertain what
was really stolen.

As an instance of our prompt and
efficient method of dealing with law
breakers, we would mention that
within twenty-four hours of the com.
mission of the burglary in the drug
store, the burglar had been chased
some IA or Is miles, brought back to
Island Pond, had preliminary hear.
ing before Justice, and was close
prisoner in Guildhall Jail.

that criticism was cleaned from the

by all who interested themselves in so

ly securing him, is much appreciated

they are the hardest characters in Jail
