President Porter of Yale college
lately had an escape from calamity
for which he was in no ways response
BILE. An American correspondent of a
London paper intended to give this
noted man credit for favOring co edu
catian in postgraduate classes but
the imp who presides over Topographic
cal blunders, happily delivered him
from so perilOus "A position before the
British public by ascribing this favor
able Judgment to president Poster,
of Coll" Probably not one in a thou
sand who read this item ever thought
of locating the mistake where it I'M
doubtedly belonged-tO the illegible
penmanship of the correspondent.
When people learn to write a legible
hand, being very careful in writing
proper names, there will be less talk
about either the intelligent composition
or the learned proof-reader.

DEATH OF AN OLD PRINTER.

DEATH OF AN OLD PRINTER.
Charles II. Severance died at Mont
pelier, April 10, aged 76. He was born
in Woodstock, and served his appren-
ticeship with Simon Ide, at Windsor,
from the age of IA years until he was
81. In 1885 he worked by the side of
Joseph Harper, the founder of the
noted publishing house of Harper
Brothers in New York, and was the
only one in the establishment who
could keep up with cold Jo." in type
setting. He came to Montpelier in
1853, and was foreman for Ballou 81
LOveland as long as that firm existed.
Until within a short time he has work
ed in the Waterman office, and had
been a printer for 90 years. He was
respected by all who have known him.
A BRAVE ACT, IF TRUE.
The Boston Traveller says that few
days since, as an excursion train of
eighteen heavily laden cars on the
Vermont division of the Portland and
Ogdensburg railroad had commenced
the descent of heavy grade between
st. Johnsbury and the Connecticut
river, the engineer suddenly deserted
three cattle upon the track just in ad-
vance of him. TO drive or brighten
them from the track. or to seasonably
stop the train, was impossible. In
stantly he decided upon his course.
He sent his fireman to disconnect his
engine and tender from the train,
whistled ''down brakes and with full
steam OH, plunged forward alone, and
with the impetus thus gained threw
the cattle from the track. He then
quietly allowed the train to overtake
him again, connected it, and continued
on, his passengers knowing nothing OF
the danger they had escaped by his
quick wit and fidelity to duty.
FREIGHT TRAIN THROWN FROM THE
TRACK.
A through freight train on the Pas
sumpsic road ran into freight car on
the side track at Bradford Monday af-
ternOOn, throwing the engine over an
embankment about twenty feet, COM
pletely demolishing it. Seven freight
cars loaded with lumber and hay were
piled into space of less than 200 feet
in length. The accident was caused
by a switch having been left open by Il
Passumpsic cattle train man. Engi-
neer Phillips saw the danger, but too
late to avoid it. After reversing his
engine both he and the fireman jumped
and they are only slightly injured.
All trains will be delayed for couple
of days. The damage is at least S10,-
600

owned by Albert Webster of Concord,

health, and who would be glad to sell
at low figure. Mr.. Hale, who form

only building covered with this slate
in this vicinity, is a large farm on the
Galbraith farm near the Water End

Note and Comment.

ArbOr day is warmly commended on
all sides as a wise thought, and the
need of extensive planting in this
state is conceded. The setting apart
of day for the purpose will start pub
lie sentiment in right direction, and
in the end great good can hardly fail
to be accomplished.

serious riots at Mallow and Cork,
which were Enthusiastically instigated
by the NatiOnalists. At both these
places mObs of NatiOnalists gathered
before the arrival of the train bearing
the royal party, and speeches were
made urging the Irish to rebel against
English rule. In each place it was
necessary for the police and military
to interfere, and many persons were
injured. A riot also occurred at Cork.

vious death for its face value, and guarantees a
definite sum in cash any year after the first.

business by hypOthecating it. This is a great adj
vantage to those who may at any time need all the
money they can command raise.
The 100000 policies, representing two bill
lions of dollars of lapsed surrendered insurance
between 1870 and 1880 would have been saved by
these Bonds.
