 A sad accident occurred at Peirce & Freemaa's limestone quarry Monday morning by the premature explosion of 0 charge of dynamite which MT Peter Colligan was tamplng into large stone. MT Colligan's right hand and wrist were blown off, his left hand shattered and one eye blown out. Several men working with him had narrow escapes as the fragments of the stone flew in all directions. The injured man was quickly conveyed to MT James Reels house, and Dr Camp, of Canaan, and Dr Wilcox, of Falls Village, were sum- moned. They amputated Mir Colligan' 8 right arm below the elbow, also ampu- tated two fingers of his left hand. They co@ld only bandage his eyes until the full extent of the injury to those organs could be ascertained. The cause of the accident is attributed to using an iron tamping bar instead of the wooden bar provided for such use. MT Collighan has many friends in town and they will give him substantial sympathy. It is hoped his strong constitution may carry him through his visable injuries but it cannot yet be ascertained whether or not he has sustained internal injuries.

ORATORIO OF ESTHER.

Tine principal event in this town the past week was the presentation, by home talent, of the Oratorio of Esther, at town hall on Tuesday and Wednes- day evenings, by chorus of 35 people specially costnmed for the occasion, and the following impersonations

 Prof l. w. Harvey was the conduc- tor. Miss s. W. Adam was the pianist. Several Of the costumes were furnished by H. Bucholz, of Springfield, Mass The others, including the Queens cos tune, were gotten up by individuals in town. Among the chorus were the following named persons:
 Mrs H M Adams, Mrs L A Caldwell, Mary A Root Mrs G Strong, Ada Mcintyre, Mary l. Parsons, Sara A Eddy, Mrs N VanDeusen, Alice l. Peirce, Mrs l. w Harvey. A Free Peirce, Ila Freeman, L H Adams, E H Pease, J l. Parsons, H Beardsley, l. F Bronson, c W Parsons.
 About 30 children of the High school, dressed in costume, jo,ned in the triumphal march.
 The hall was packed the first evening, the ticket sales amounting to over S75. The weather was unfavorable the second evening. and the "Pastor's Welcome at Falls Village prevented some from attending. yet the hall was we'll filled and the ticket sales were over $50 The oratorio was admirably rendered and each selection was heartily applau. ded. Only few of the audience were aware that local talent could present the oratorio so finely, therefore the majority were surprised as we'll as delighted. Special mention, should be made of the impersonatofs because with most of them it was their frs appearance as actors. We were particu larlJy impressed with the acting and singing in scene second of Act " tho solo. Iaresh 10 Haman. :. Thy galline defeat. alas We know it all," alst scene third of the same act, where Haman bids farewell to wife and child It should also be mentioned that il | these scenes the acting of little Genie VanDeusen was certainly remarkable.

We think that the principal reason
there has been no improvement in the
past 10 that the caudidat for Com.
missioners have been chosen by poll
ticians aud have been hampered by
q desire for denominations. Against
the republican candidates the argu.
ment will still hold good but under
the system adopted by the democrats.
it loses Its force. The democratic
candidates for Commissioners will owe
their nominations not to political wire
pullers but to the tax payers them
sslvss. They will, moreover, be pre-
vented BY party law from obtaining

the democrats alone we must look for
