carriage drive through New England, are
now at the Pavilion. They started from

Of Portland, Me-, and then through the
White Mountains to Montpelier. They in
tend to go to Burlington to-day, and then
Lake George will be the objective point.

shire hills to Boston. A more delightful
route could not be marked out
COLONEL Il. II. RIKER was among the
visitors at the Bradford encampment. He
compliments the regiment on its soldierly
appearance and work, but, in his opinion,

men between the ages of eighteen and forty
FIVE were members of the militia, was supe-
rior to the present. The colonel won his
tie of a regimental commander in 1856.
'e was the guest of Quartermaster Gilmore
ana was entertained at headquarters of
Company II, of whose courtesy and hospi-
ttlity the colonel speaks in high praise.

THE excursion to Ausable Chasm, OF
Thursday of last week. was enjoyed by
about five hundred persons from Barre
other places in this vicinity. At Burling
ton the steamer " Reindeer " was taken 70
Port Kent. The Chasm was reached a
about noon, and after lunchng the excur
sonists proceeded to view this wonderful
work of natural beauty. Unfortunately
during the greater part of the time devoted
to sightseeing the rain fell too rapidly TO
comfort, and many were deferred iron
making thorough examination of tn,
Chasm. Still, every one saw more or less o
it, and all found the trip sufficiently varied
in incident to be enjoyable. The lake wa
quite rough on the return passage, ant
many were i'll until the Vermont shore wa
reached. The train was in charge of Con
ductors Jackson and Peck, and Engnee
James Stack drove the iron horse that sup
piled the motive power. The excursionist
found these officials most courteous an,
obliging, and to their efforts to make thing
go smoothly no small part of the day
pleasure was due.

juror, charging him with committing as
sault and battery on Mrs. Sumner Kimball
A hearing was had on Saturday before Jus
tice NJ. E. Smile, at the courthouse, whe
it appeared that Hopkins and Kimball live
on adjoining lots on Spring street. /
warm dispute had been raging betwee
them for months as to the dividing line be
tween their lots. Several times high word
had passed between Mr. Hopkins and Mr.,
Kimball, who appeared to " wear tn
breeches while her husband kept ava
} from the fray. Kimball had removed tn
fence, dug trench, built a stone wall an
erected a house upon his lot. Hopkin
claimed that this house was about one foe
over the line on his premises. Last wee
Tuesday Hopkins commenced building
fence on his side of the wall, when Mrs
Kimball mounted the wall, put her hand
ON the fence where Hopkins was at wor
and pushed the fence over toward Hopkin
{ so the masons could point the wall wit
mortar. Thereupon Hopkins struck he
hand with the hammer he was using. HoI
kins was held in the sum of 5000 for hi
trial at county court. j. G.. Wing an
George w. Wing appeared for the state an
I. j. Deavitt for Hopkins.
