Deputy Sheriff Crawford attempted
to make a seizure of liquor in Wooley's
saloon on Friday, and had, as he sup
posed, made a big haul. On consulting
his warrant, however, he found that it
had been made out against Charley
Cushman instead of Wooley, and the
booty was dropped like a hot potato.
He then visited Cushman's groggery and
captured some ale, the proprietor of i
the place pouring the test of his liquor
on the floor. A small seizure was also
made at Ceph Stone's.
Several selections from the music

from its very nature, cannot have. Tb,a

; THE RUTLAND, -WEEKLYBI
A Brilliant Wedding. '
It 1b raro that any one has. the oppor
tunity to ace a more " lovely. Eight than
that which was beheld Thursday night'
by a crowded audience at the Congrega-"
tionai church. ; It was the ; occasion Qf
the marriage of Mr." Paul . Brooks of
New York- to M3ct :Sarah;"A.:'Piercv
step-daughter of Charles Sheldon; Esq.
The church 'was -lighted by- a triple
arch of gas burners' over the pulpit, in
addition-to the ordinary jets, the effect
of which was to throw a bright' light on
1he wedding-parly, as they came down
the aisle and took their places. If. was
certainly a very untisual and a very biil-
liant party. The ushers,' Col, -a7.ey,
Messrs. II. F. Field, S. : W.-.-Ro.well,
Waldo r. Clement, K L. Temple, AteM
bald Sheldon, Richard Sheldon, and Will
Sheldon, preceded the marriage group
lhis consisted of the step brothers of
the bride with their wives, also a brother
Of the bridegroom with his wife. 'Then
came Air. Urooks with Mrs. Sheldon.
and the bride on the arm of her step
father. Thd ceremony was performed
by Rev. Mr. Johnson and the company
left the church to the music of the or
gan. Prof. Mietzke presided at the or
gan with more than his' usual effective
ness. .
The reception at the house of Mr.
Sheldon was select and very elegant.
The house was so large that, though
many "were there, the pressure of the
crowd was not feit, and it would be
hard to suggest an additional feature
that could have ' added an' element of
8BCCC3S.
It was as nearly perfect as we are
permitted to see, Certainly we do not
expect to see more beauty and grace
until we reach that sphere where men
are not married nor given in marriage.
That most hosv-itable house has seen ,
many happy ana brilliant gatherings,
but certainly none hjis ' ever surpassed
this. There waa but one thought that
broke the spell. It all means that a
light has gone out of this house and out
of Rutland that will be greatly raised.
The fact that it shines elsewhere does
not lessen our loss.

had proceeded about half a'mfle. and
while near the Zack.- Parker -crossing ia .
Ludlow, an extra, locomotive overtook
tnem. I lie father saw '.the honJlri-r,t.
appearing around a sharp '.curve,;' and
calling to his son to: follew '. hia ;. exam
ple, leaped from the car. This the boy
tailed to do being overcome with fright
or from some other cause. - With the
first collision the car was sent forward a
long . distance, but the second ; blow
smashed it to pieces, and the lad . was
thrown under . the engine. : His lower
limbs were badly ; crushed and he. was
otherwise bruised He was taken to
Proctorsville by the engineer, who had
immediately" stopped the train, and
placed under the care of Drs. Putnam
of Ludlow, and Hazleton of Cavendish.'
On Sunday his right leg was amputated
near the hip. It 'was a most difficult
surgical operation, but the sufferer had
not vitality enough to rally, and died at
midnight; It seems that Mr. Mhler did
not know that the locomotive had taken
an extra train to the Summit, and not
expecting its return, had no time Jo get
out of the way. So blame is, attached
to any one, but the accident has .cast a
gloom over the comniuaity.

We noticed
the passage of
through Uutlaud, who were being taken
from Sing Sing, N. Y., to Dannemora
prison in the same State. On the ar
rival of the train at Middlebury, three
or the prisoners having . freed them
selves from the handcuffs and chains
which bound them, leaped from the car
windows and attempted an escape; the
car standing at the time on the bridge
near the depot. One of them was cap
tured before he had hardly cleared the
car, another was shot, while the third
jumped into the river and escaped.
The wounded man was roughly dragged
into the .car and thrown on the floor,
and report says that he was nearly dead
when the train reached Essex Junction.
During the escape seven shots were
tired, and two of them struck the bag
gage car, barely missing the baggage
master and the express agent. The
keepers ia charge of the convicts tele
graphed to Sheriff Tripp, of Middle
bury, from Essex Junction, requesting
him to use every endeavor to capture
the rnieoin prisoner. The sheriff found
the place where the man had crawled
out of his ice-cold bath, and also his
cap, and a little further on his tracks
were seen leading through a field. lb re
the trail was lost, and according to
latest accosts io capture had been
made.
Fl'RTnEF. DETAILS.
The following additional particulars
our Middlebury correspondent send us
ln's morning, as tne car load ot con
Sing Sing to the Dannemora prison, ar
rived at this place two of them slipped
their irons and escaped from the car,
whi.-h was stauding in the bridge at the
time. One ran tact across the bridge
and got away, although shot at by the
officer four or five times. The other
ran around the back side of the railroad
woodshed aud started up town, the ofli
cer roUowiu;, and, after several shots,
he was crippled aud taken back to the
cars. Whether he was dangerously
wounded or not no one here knows. There
is a rumor that he is dead, but it is ex
ceeding doubtful.
Sheriff Drew received a telegram
from Essex Junction, for him to follow
the one which escaped. He tracked him
on the railroad, and scattered the news,
so that all might be on the lookout fo r
him.
Later. A.bout 3 p. m. he was seen by
some residents about three miles up the
creek, and was chaaed into the swamp.
Help was summoned and word sent to
the sheriff, who immediately went up
there, ind arrived just ia time to see
them fetching him out. He had swam
the creek, and was so cold that he could
not run. Mr. Tripp took care to place
him iu a warm and comfortable room
with the four other county Woarders,
where our reporter interviewed him
He says he is in prison on a charge of
assault and battery with intent to kill ;
that he was a resident of Sing Sing, na
tive of Ireland and was sentenced for
fifteen years, twenty-seven months of
which have passed. He also said that
the fellow who was vitb, him had been
1 for about two months, and came
from New York City, and tnat tLe
ether fellow sawed the chains apart, but
about him he knew nothing more.

rooms in the Court House, at Middle
bury, for the purpose of discussing the
question of waterworks. James M.
Slade, Jr., acted as moderator, and
called the meeting to order. Hon. John
W. Stewart was the first man to speak.
He Bccmed tq be iu favor of some kind
of waterworks, and said there was no
end to the advantages of having them.
A. P. Tupper, Esq., and Mr. J. Buttolph
spoke against it, and thought it would
be utter ruin to the town to attempt any
such thing.
Mr. Strong, of Vergenues, at the re
quest of several gentlemen of Middle
bury, was present at the meeting to de
scribe the works of that town and to
answer any questions that might be
asked.
After discussing the question for an
hour and a half the meeting adjourned
until two weeks from that night. There
is some excitement in town over the sub
ject. F.
Supposed Case of Qrowning.
Dr. Wallace Stewart, of Clarendon,
who went to Bellows; Falls, Tuesday, in
company with D. H. Perry, of Bridge
water, is supposed to have been drown
ed in the Connecticut river there. He
and Perry were both intoxicated, and in
the evening were walking near the river,
whn Stewart, remarking that he saw
something floating in the water, went
down to the bank for a nearer view,
and did not return. He has not been
seen since, and i;ia supposed he was
drowned. -

The Chief Justice siij : This case ougbt
to have been ready for hearing, but it
can't be heard without the testimony.
The counsel have done aH they could to
get the testimony. The fault is with
the reporter, over whom this Court has
no control. No reason has been assigned,
and undoubtedly none exist, why the re
porter has not furnished the testimony.
We find this same difficulty iu all the

On Wednesrlav evening, Oct. 27, Rev.
T. D. Walker, of Cobleskill, N. Y., de
livered a lecture on "The Bible and
Science." He said the Bible was the
only book which taught man to connect
this world and its experience with the
world to come, and these experiences
mean nothing but as they are connected
with God. It is tbe only book which
reconciles the misery about us with
God's mnrfness.1 It alone points him to
his Savior. In reviewing the results of
science which men array against the
Bible, the antiquities which have been

ted bv Evelyn Pierpoint, Esq. It is fin
ished in front in the same general man
ner as the Nichols and Mead block, and
the two blocks bear the appearance at a
distance, of being one continuous build
ing. The store fronts are similar, the
wiudows of each story correspond, and
the brick cornice on top is the same.
Fronting on Center street, the building
extends Go feet, and reaches back CO
feet. It is set on a heavy stone founda
tion -the side and rear basement walls
are of brick and the front stone. The
building is divided into three sections by
two brick walls which run from the
basement floor up through the building,
and extend above the roof. The stores
are three in number separated by these
brick walls the center one 24 x 58 lett
and those pn each side 10 x 58 each.
The basements connept with the 6tores.
The stores are commodious and well
lighted ; the ceiling is 13 feet high j they
are easy of access from a splendid side
walk, and are altogether very desirable
stores. The second lloor is divided into
handsome and convenient offices and
suites of rooms, aud the story is to be
used for tenements. Each section is
separated by the above mentioned brick
walls, in which there is set an iron
door on each floor. In the rear of the
building at each story is erected a sub
stantial balcony, eight feet wide, which
is a great convenience for the occupants,
and has a closed flight of stairs, reaching
from story to story, and from the
lower story to the ground, 'there
is plenty of yard room in the
rear, which is reached by a
carriage entrance from Willow street.
The roof of the building is of tin ; hard
finish plaster throughout, and the wood
work is of pine, painted white. This
building is in good location and offers
excellent advantages for the storekeep
er, the professional man or the house
keeper. Persons in want of rooms for
either purpose would do well to exam
ine this block.

Signs of the coming winter appear on

storm, two weeks ago, aud the rain
storm of Saturday changed to snow and
yesterday the grousd was again covered
with the ' : wintry rnti. The woods have
lost their glory of iciDjrled bronze, red,
and gold, and with the field are grow
ing "brown and sere" when not white
with frost and 6now. People are seen
driving stock to well filled barns, placing
their wood under cover, banking cellars,
and generally setting their houses in
order for cold weatber. Though the
"melancholy days" have come they seem
to bring no moping sadness to some of
the good people of Eastham, for the

Eastham has also some veteran nunters
who at this season usually devote con

pleasure and profit, and with successful
results. They have already secured sevr

are reported plenty in the second growth
