Our townspeople feel very much easier now that Robert Miller has been safely landed in Brooklyn jail. He was captured in Southbridge, Mass and brought to town by State Police M. s. Louks and Sheriff Pitts and taken befor Justice N. l.. Knowl- ton. He plead guilty to breaking and entering the houses of Charles Mowry and Thomas Fitts, and stealing from both houses. He was bound over to the September term of court under $500 bonds, which he was unable to furnish. A watch stolen from Mowry was found in West Woodstock, where Miller had sold 1t to Oliver Bellville for $2.
 During the heavy thunder storm last Saturday afternoon. about 3. 30, the house of Fred O. Chism was struck by lightning.

The lightning entered the room in which she was and tore off a large portion of the plastering from one side of the room and a mantel Mrs. Ohism was thrown down, but quickly recovered and rushed to the lower floor, where she had left her infant child asleep, but happily found the child unin. jured. She called to some men, who had been working near by but had gone into shed during the storm, and they went over the house looking for fire, which fortunately did not break out Mir. Ohism was away at the time attending meeting of the seleotmen. The house was badly damaged. The bolt struck the chim- ney and made bad work in five rooms, mostly in the upper story. A bed stead was splintered. After passing to the lower story the lightning went through the side of the house, tearing off 8 number of clapboards and entered the ground by the way of 8 water pipe.

The Ignorance of the RI.

No greater shock ever comes to a

1t is easy to fire the disconnected.
