The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1890-01-02

Our grapevine dispatch, to be
found in another column, gives fair
idea of the postoffice fight at Brattle-
boro. 1t is really a contest between
the people and the politicians; and
while all good men of both parties
earnestly hope for the best, in view
of the disgraceful frauds enacted in
the name of civil service reform, it is
more than probable that the people,
as usual, will be the losers. A tre-
mendous majority of the Republican
patrons of the office and nine-tenths
of the business interests of the town
are in favor of the re-appointment of
Capt. Childs. On the other side are
arrayed the politicians and postoffice
brokers. Fortunately, Or unfortunate
ly as it may appear, these are divid-
ed. Hooker and the battle-scarred
Levi are for Harmon. Harmon is one
of Lewis proteges and works in the
organ shop. Asnear as can be learn
ed he has no special fitness for the
position, but, as the grapevine makes
Hooker say, Whats the use in
having postmaster who won't pack" :"
Waterman and Martin are for the
staid and grabbed old Dea. Thomp-
son. AS neither of these candidates
have any backing from the "dear
people" Gen. Grout will have to give
the civil service crank of a
yank to get either one throughput
he is capable of doing it.

A CLOSE CALL.
Mrs. Steele and Child Narrowly
Escape Drowning.

On Tuesday last Mr.. Henry Steele,
Of American FORK, made an attempt
to ford American Fork Greek, just
above the town. In the wagon with
him were his wife and three child
dren. When the horses got into the
stream, one Of them fell into
hole, the existence Of which was
not known. The animal went
clear under, and the wagon was
drawn out into deep water. Mr..
Steele and his wife and baby were
thrown iulo the tuTgii stream.
When Mr.. Steele came upout Of the
water he SAW his wife struggling In
the stream, and he soon managed TO
get her TO safe footing. She
chung closely 10 the shawl in
which her baby had been
wrapped, hut discovered that the
infant had Slipped out Of it, when
she saw IL come in the surging
stream. Mr.. Steele plunged after i,
and missed It IN the eddy. He
swan around and the baby came up
again and was seized by its father,
who got il TO the shore. The
remaining two children kept
their places in the wagon
box, and were rescued. The baby
was taken 10 a house near by. Its
mouth, eyes, ears and nose were
filed with mud. and il had swal-
lowed a quantity OF water. By rub
bling and careful attention the lit
tie one was resuscitated, and IL
now out Of danger. Considering the
fact that the creek is n rearing tor
rent at this season, the escape Of all
Of the family was most remarkable.
