Will Leno of East Middlebury, who
was arrested two weeks ago on the charge
of stealing carpenters tools and Jailed in
default of bail, procured bondsman
on Wednesday and was released from
custody. Judge Wright came down from
Waltham to take the bail. The Jail is

The somewhat celebrated case of the
town of Ferrisburgh against its late col
lector, Harvey G. Martin, and his bonds
men has been heard from. 1t was argued
before the county supreme court at its
last January term. That tribunal revers-
es the Judgment of the county court and
sends the case back to the county court.
A local correspondent writes ~ was
pleased to see our new chief of police, H.
E. Smith, so attentive to his duties on
the night of the fire. He was constantly
on the move all through the night. He
was pleasant and good-natured, yet de-
cided and fearless in his efforts to keen
order. The law-breakers would be sorry
for attempting to resist an official de-
mand made by Mr.. Smith,"
Twenty sheep and six horses owned
by Messrs. Wright and Witherell were
shipped from this station to New Yorl,
Wednesday. DR.. Porter and Mr.. Colby
also shipped to the metropolis their foul
horses the same day. All this stock is
destined for South America and will &C
out on the steamer Advance, which will
sail May l. Messrs. Wright, Witherell
Porter and Colby left here for New York
last evening.
The Green Mountain Pulp Co.'S Noe
drivers have gotten all the logs out o1
the eddy below the falls here. 1t was a
hard job, on account of the swift cur
rent, but was successfully accomplished
by the aid of boom which was thrown
around behind the mass and gradually
frightened. The "drive" has been the
most easily managed of any of the three
that the company has undertaken. Pres
ldent Fisher of the company has giver
the matter his personal attention.
A. L. Bennett, an organ tuner who sale
his home was Boston, was arrested il
Rutland some time since for skipping :
a board bill at the Pierce House, and. af-
ter being fined, committed to Jail here
to await the arrival of funds which h,
expected from friends. The money came
this week and the old man paid up anc
left. a warrant for his arrest on a sim
liar charge was sent down from Burlinr
ton, and he had to pay that score. too
before his final restoration to liberty.
Those of our merchants who had tn,

their damaged stocks. The work of re
building the stores has already begun
Messrs. Smith & Allen have taken Mr.

damage to his end of the block.
a hose company will be organized mex
week if nothing happens. 1t will b,
composed chiefly of the younger bust
ness men of the village and at fires will
act in conjunction with the fire company
1t will, however, pay particular attention
to the pumps at the bakery pump-houst
and the Sun mill. The latter is an espe
cially valuable machine, as was shown a
the recent fire, and the new company
will familarize themselves with its work
ing and see that it is at all times ready
for instant use. Those having in charge
the matter of forming the new company
are circulating a subscription paper tc
procure necessary funds and find a ready
response on the part of the business mer
and other citizens.
