DORSET.
II. G. HARDWOOD had the misfortune to
have his saw mill burned last week.
G.. w. Farwell, an old and esteemed
citizen of Dorset, died last Sunday. He
caught severe cold while attending the
funeral of S. b. Young, at Manchester,
last spring, which was followed by Sc
we're attack of pneumonia. This came
near proving fatal, but he partially re-
covered though his health has been very
poor, until two weeks ago, when he be-
gan to fail rapidly. His funeral was at

The Rutland Herald gives an account
of the disappearance of Louis Hillard,
well known in this place, under painful
circumstances. He is young man Il %,
of GOOD appearance and fine business
talents. He went to Chicago two or
three years ago where he got employ
meut on the Chicago Tribune, and was
speedily advanced to position as cash
Ter, at salary of $4,000 year. A few
weeks ago, at the request of his mother,
he took vacation 70 visit Vermont, and
another M took his place as cashier.
1t was then round that his accounts were
short, it is claimed, to the amount of
$4,000. When the news reached Rutland
two weeks ago, he at once left for New
York, and has not been heard from since.
Fast living is assigned as the cause of
his downfall, which is a sad blow to his
friends, with whom he was very popular.
The Herald of Tuesday says it is by no
means certain that young billiard is a
defaulter, as the work of examining the
Chicago Tribune's accounts is not yet
completed, and that his Rutland friends
think he was murdered i'll New York for
his money, as he had flee or six hundred
dollars with him. Every effort has been
made to trace him, but without success
