RMONT PHGNIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY MAY ID, 1892

George Ide, near the Hall & Chase mill at
Lyndon, were burned Monday morning,
and five families lost all of their house
hold effects. One man and his wife and
child narrowly escaped suffocation. The
total loss was about $1,000.
VIM. White, the superintendent of the
Green Mountain pulp company's lower
mill, was carried over the falls at Middle
bury in a mass of logs, one day last week.
The people who saw the accident supposed
that he would be killed, but after a strug-
gle of few minutes he eXtricated himself
from the mass and crawled ashore. His
head was cut and he was badly bruised,
but his injuries are not serious.
Bert Blackamore, son of Barton Black
amore of PittsfOrd, was so badly injured
Wednesday of last week that he died the
following day. He was driving team
loaded with posts down the mountain
when the horses became unmanageable and
he fell between the wheel and the box of
the wagon; the horses cramped the wheel,
crushing him. His ribs on both sides
were broken from the back bone.
A war against the liquor traffic is being
waged at Chelsea. Among those who
have been arrested is Tim Sullivan, a
fenced to the house of correction for 90
days. The case is attracting a good deal
of attention, for the reason that Sullivan
declares that he is innocent. He bears a
good reputation, and many OF his neigh
bors do not believe him to be guilty.
An attempt at murder was made in the
little village of Chittenden Friday night
John Fisk of Rutland and w II. Page of
10 ,f ,,,I,, L., ,l..v
had quarreled, and Friday night when
Fisk was returning from his work he was
attacked by Page, who stabbed him in the
neck with a large pocket knife, and then
fled. Page has been arrested and placed
under $1,000 bonds for appearance at the
county court. Fisk's wounds are not seri-
Gus.
f. w. Kellogg, who died at his home
near st. Adams Bay, the other day, was at
one time associated with Walter A. Wood
the great moving machine manufacturer,
and it was at his home at st. Adams Bay
that Wood invented his first machine, an
nouncing at the breakfast table that it
came to him in dream. Four weeks lat
er he sent Mr. Kellogg a model of his first
machine, which was destined to revolution
ize the method of hay cutting the world
over.
c. X. Adams, who has resigned the pres
idency of Cornell university, on account
of grave and seeming irreconcilable diff
ferences of opinion in regard to matters
of administrative Importance is a Yer
monter, having been born at Derby in 1855
He went to Iowa when 20 years of age,
and in 1861 graduated from the University
of Michigan. He was a professor in that
institution and at Cornell previous to his
election to the presidency of he latter in
stitutiOn, to succeed \. ID. White, seven
years ago. Mr. Adams is the author of a
number of important works on education
al and historical subjects.

THE CRUEL sCHooLMAsTER.
A Painful story of Many Years Ago Re.
called.

Had Edward Eggleston, the incompara-
BILE writer of interesting and instructive sto-
ry. known of the tragic event when he was
accustomed to visit the romantic place of
its occurrence while he was a guest at the
popular house of Mr. Phelps in Grafton,
he could have given more impressive de-
scription of the tyranny of the schoolmas-
ter than we can possibly do. However,
plain recital of the painful incident may
interest the readers of the time honored
Phoenix, especially in Athens and adioin-
ing towns.
Between 50 and 90 years ago there stood
schoolhouse near the pond in West
Athens. That old schoolhouse. like its
teachers and pupils, has long since mingled
with the dust and ashes of earthly destiny.
\ man by the name of Wilbur, a Metho-
dist circuit rider, so called in those distant
years, was employed to teach winter term
in that old schoolhouse. Among his pu-
pills was a little puny boy # ten years.
While standing in his class the boy failed
to spell a word correctly, the teacher in
sisting that he could and should do it, us
ing violent language so as to brighten the
little fellow, making it impossible for him
to obey the unreasonable order of the cruel
master.
A spelling school was appointed for the
following evening, the committee man be-
ing informed and requested to be present.
The little boy was unfortunately there, as
the revengeful teacher designedly pro-
nOunced the same word for him to spell as
in the day school. His fright of few
hours before was renewed and he again
failed, the cruel teacher still insisting and
threatening, but without avail. Then
turning to the committeeman, he asked,
"What shall do?" ''Whip him till he
spells the word" was the reply of the in
human committeeman. The rod was used
with the greatest severity upon the trem-
| bling body of the innocent and helpless
child, when from fear and pain he fell
/ helpless upon the floor. The anger and
brutality of the teacher had begun their
fearful work to be finally consummated,
when, a few days later, the little boy died.
/ The trial of the cruel teacher was most
exciting one, and the guilty man barely es-
capped conviction and a deserved punish
ment, when he hastily left town, followed
by the denunciatiOns of every Just and hui
name person as the cruel schoolmaster.
/ The whipping and death of the little
/ "Chase boy lived in story for many years
at the firesides of those Od-time homes,
while on the little grave were laid the
flowers of May by childhood hands, in ten
der memory of the victim of brutal tenn
per and of great wrong unavenged.
We can dimly see, on the border of early
memory, the gray-haired old committee
man who never Outlived the just condem-
nation of his indscretion, for many of his
neighbors were pierced through the heart
with his stern cruelty. From the sad
event of the ''long ago. comes down an
impressive lesson, that corrective measures
cannot be wisely administered when inhu-
enced by anger or revenge, for then JUS
tice and humanity end and cruelty begins.

The book awarded to Miss Fanny Barrows by
the Massachusetts Total Abstinence society, at
the recent DemOrest silver contest in Mortified,
was an elegant edition of out of Doors with Ten

1t is interesting, from an historical point of
view, to know that the town Of Mortified con
tains large farm that has never been decided to
any one. This tract of land. lying in and near the
village, was granted to Captain Benjamin Wright
in 1871 by the colonists. This property has de
scended from father to son for 30 years and was
last owned by the late Henry Wright, who dis
posed of it by will to the survivors of his fathers
family, he dying a bachelor.
Rev. Mr. TOrrey of Chicago occupied the pulpit

Anent the Ely Copper Mines.

The case of F. NJ. F. Cain against
Smith Ely and the Ely Copper companies
is at last ended. Judge Gleason, the re-
ceiver of all the properties in controversy
in the suit, including the mines and extern
sive smelling works, has begun to pay the
bondholders and various classes of creditors.
The funds arising from the sale of the
property have been deposited in the Brad
ford savings bank and trust company for
the past four years, and he makes his pay
ments by checks upon that bank, the I'M
fortunate claimants receiving from two to
eight per cent dividends. This great loss
is due mainly to the fall in the price of
copper in 1888, and the consequent depre-
citation in the value of the copper mines
and smelling works. The property, which
was estimated to be worth $1,00O,OO0 in
1850, was sold by the receiver, Jan. Il,
1888, for $4,000 Mr.. ,Krause, the pur-
chaser, is now employing about 175 men
at the mines.

the left side of the throat, just missing the
iugular vein. Borden grappled with the
prisoner, and, after short struggle, got
out of the chair. He gave an alarm and
Superintendent Eayres and the other keep

in a cell and a physician summoned to
care for the wounded man. Borden's CON
dition is critical, but the chances are in ia
vor of his recovery.

Two mad Accidents.

Two terrible accidents occurred at Halle
d Frost mill last Saturday Nellie Raffer-
ty, weaver, lost two fingers and the thumb
of her right hand Saturday morning by
having the hand caught in the machinery
while trying to clean her loom. Another
finger was somewhat injured, rendering
the hand practically useless.
In the afternoon about ? o'clock Peter
Stone came near losing his life, and as it
was sustained very serious injuries. He
was working in the dye house and was
running a belt on when his clothing be-
came entangled in the main shaft which
was revolving rapidly. This carried him
around with frightful force, striking his
body against the rafters and floor His
clothing was literally torn from his body,
which no doubt saved his life. He was
quickly taken home and doctor summon
ed, and an examination showed that his
right leg was broken in a number of places
and his right arm was badly stretched.
He is doing as well as could be expected at
this writing.
