Common things: The moving frater-
nifty were busy April LIST in changing
dwelling houses. George Pratt liAes in
one of Whipple's tenements over the
bridge on the highway leading to New
York State. A. o. Barber is now a
tenant of Andrew and Emily Card and
has moved into the house vacated by
Pratt. Mrs. Card, widow of Alfred
Card has come back into her own house
occupied by A. o. Barber last year.
d. j. Pratt will continue to be the
proprietor of North Pownal hotel for
the ensuing year. Joseph Varian has
moved from Petersburgh where he HI s
been keeping hotel for one or more
years, and now occupies one of Mr..
Whipple's line house tenements.
Our listers have been qualified &C
cording to law and are now busy in
raising our grand list One of them in
adyertently neglected to take and file
his oath of Office on the LIST. The Sc
lectmen in order to quiet all badinage
appointed the same individual to fill the
vacancy which some of our native loyal
lists claimed had occurred by this mans
neglect. J. A. Pattrel thereby is made
a double headed lister and it will be his
prerogative to do the doubling when
ever the board are convinced that any
one makes a false disclosure of their
personal or real estate.
The roads are becoming more passa-
BILE every day, and are solid enough to
hold up all kinds of vehicles, with the
exception of few places which still re-
mind one of the bottomless pit.
Pownal Burglars-This affair, which
has already been reported in the Troy
Times, was an attempt of three men to
blow open the safe in the store of Par
ker & Son. The elder Mr.. Parker dis
covered the miscreants at their work
with the drill, and gave the alarm, so
that quite large company with guns
gathered around the store, but before an
entrance was made to seize the burglars
an alarm was given by an accOmplice,
who stood guard on the street. The
robbers made their egress through the
front door, using their pistols as they
ran toward the bridge. They escaped
without injury. 1t is confidently re-
ported that one of the leading assail-
ants Immediately upon the firing of guns
| imagined himself seriously wounded,
and so reported to his father, adding
that blood was running from the wound
| into his shoes. He was laid upon a
stretcher and his shoes were removed.
They were found full, indeed, but it
wasn't blood. He must have sweat pro-
| fusely. There is nothing to indicate that
the infantry by their firing hit anything.
The truth is that they shot at nothing
on the earth. In their excitement they
aimed upward, suppOsing that the imam
in the moon" was really the burglar they
were in pursuit of.

The store of A. G.. Parker & Son was
again entered by burglars Wednesday
morning about2 O'clock. A. G.. Parker
who lives near the store happened to be
up and noticed reflection as though
some one was lighting matches in the
store rear the safe. Upon further in
vestigation he decided that such was the
case and Immediately goes over to his
sons house, which is but a few steps,
and calls him and he and few neigh
bors get ready to attack thelburglars, but
before they could get ready one more of
the regiment which had not yet arrived
with the rest came up looking for his
commander to get orders and frightened
the burglar just as the company was
getting ready to make the attack. just
then they were seen to jump from the
window and run down Main street. The
captain gave orders to fire and shot after
shot was fired on both sides but fortu-
Rately no one was hit and the intruders
made for the mountain without being
captured. Returning to the store 1T
was found that they had drilled a hole
in the top of the safe about six inches
deep but they got nothing so far as
known. This is the fourth or fifth time
they have entered the same store, bnt
have not got much booty. They seem
to enter by the same window and go to
work about the same way and it looks
as though "home talent" was at the
bottom of it. Can't something be done
to find them out? We would give notice
that the safe is not locked and they can
save time and trouble by just opening

A PAUPER's BURIAL.

Inc ola man died a pauper, so the rates
MUST bury him. see no men about
And we've no bearers Come, your arm ia

And he no weight. 'Tis strange the hate they
bear
To the house yonder; only three weeks there.
And told them he should die, if once inside
To think that paupers should have all that

"Here comes the squire; he'll earn sixpence
too,
Just for the fun of throwing it to you
fon slouching tramp shall walk his fellow
mate,
Shoulder to shoulder, through the churchyard
gatel"
The small pale green is shooting to the sky,
And in and out the church's ivy fly
The building birds, and on the gravestones
sing.
Sweet chance an old man buried in the springl
And he a pauper; old and weak and sad:
Vet welcome here. What matter that he had
No black draped train to follow in the rear;
Odd passers shouldering the common bieri
30 poor and sad; forsaken and forgot;
Not one of all those children he begot
To see him to his parish grave, and tell
He was their father, and they loved him well.
What, back already? Well, our turns to be!
He says the same for rich and poor, | see
The parson spoke up well; heard ii all,
Resting the horses by the churchyard wall"
Death and parish grave-these were his rights.
Sleep fast, old man! On balmy summer nights
The sweet-lipped flowers and moonbeams as

Shall weave thy story on the nameless grass.
