Fuller was reported to have since died, but we learn on good authority that he is likely to recover. Ho seems to have courted tho assault, and gets little sympathy from tho community. llullful. W. n.

During seven successive days in Novem- her from the 22d to the 28th, inclusive the avcrago temperature of the weather, reckon ing from the lowest points, was fi degrees be low zero : the lowest point was 12 below on the 2iHh, the mercury having previouslv fall en 40 degrees in about twelve hours. The average for the last nine tl.tys in November yns a fraction below zero. Add to this the -ct that the snow was six inches deep and sleighing very fine, and we think the "oldest inhabitant" has very seldom seen it on this wise in November. V'ennor failed to foretell tho coming of so cold a wave. Thero will bo a union celebration of Christmas at tho Universalist church at Jack souvillo. .

After half an hour of happy gathering and gnelings, tho ever.ready and aufuit Doctor, w lio wm aked to act as master of ctremo nits, suggested that a brief sketch of the genea ogy aud history of tho wedded pair whom we had met lo honor luleht not be devuid of interest, and called on Jiev. Lewis Grout lo read the sketch hu had been invited to prepare for the occasion. After this, one uf ItiL- grandchildren, Miss Gertrude Spoouer, givu a utauiiiui piece ol poetry she had pre pund to recite. Then followed the reading of an original poem which a friend had furn ished, in which some of the cherished remem brances of social and domestic life in olden time were sung by a bard who had evidently been thern and knew their charm for us of to day. In preseutiug.thu gifts of friends, Dr. Holton happily remarked that tho beautiful bouquets wtre doubtless iuteudrd to symbol- izu the many sweet and pure enjoyments which tho fifty years of married life had brought the recipients of these gifts, while tho presents in gold in various forms well repre-seiite-el tho more substantial ami endur ing re sults, the blessed aud gracious attain ments to w hich they had come, together with tho bright hopes they are permitted to cher ish respecting thu future. The reply of ac knowledgement and thanks expressed by tho ltev. .Mr. liascoino, 111 belian or the host and hostets, was in his usual happy veiu of thought aud spee-e-h. Among other thiugs he would tty that, if it were possible for him to put bimsilf iu the bridegroom's place fifty years ago, he had no doubt hu would have felt that he was getting the be-st of all the youug ladies in New Hampshire ; nor could ho uoubt that she was getting the best young man iu Vermont; nor wai he again less sure that their fifty years of hand-iu-hand happy He had only perpetuated and streugttieueel their first impression. His prayer, which he was asked to oiler, was full of thanks to God in their behalf for the good way in which ho had led his faithful servant and handmaid, for the eleep, steady, practical interest they had always taken in the welfare of the church and society in which their lot had been cost, anil au earnest invocation of the best of Di vine blessings upon them for all tho remain iuc years of their pilgrimage here on earth and for the life beyond. The rich and tempt. lug refreshments now furnished for the "out er man," seemed to open the mouths and meet the lasto of all. and so put the remain der of tho occasion moro Into the hands of General Good Time, in whose lively lead, without at all hindering the "feast of reason aud flow of soul," it continued till the hour of retiring arrived. Tho following is a brief extract from the historical sketch above referred to : The bridecroom of the occasion. Sylvester Grout, of Westminster, is a native of this town, be ing the youngest son of John and Elizabeth (UpbuuiJ Urout, who, in their early married life, came from Massachusetts to Vermont, settled in Westminster and had thirteen chil dren. John Grout of Westminster, Vt., was sou of Thomas of Spencer, Mass., who was sou of John of Sudbury, who was son of John of tho bauie town, who was the son of Capt. John of Watertown and Dudley, w ho came over from England ubout 1031 at the age of 18, and is supposed to bo tho son of 1 n t en ! , nt Abie'uuree ejtuue ui uaieuu, iu iuo wumuij . Derby, England, whoso family is believed to have settled in Cornwall, in the west part of Euglaud, during the reign of Henry II. 11M 8'J, and to have originated in Germany, where tbey have the name of Grotius or Groot, allat Grote, Gross, Gros, orGraus, who aro thought to bo the descendants of tho Grodii, or the Great, of whom Ctesar speaks as among the daring tribes of Iielzic Gaul, upwards of fifty years previous to tho Christian era. The bride of tho hour, Mrs. Casandra Grout, was daughter of Joseph and Prudence (Wether ell) Hunt of Westmoreland, N. II., where the marriage of our host and hostess was solem nized by tho Itov. Mr. Whitin fifty years ago. During theso years of their wedded life they have had born to them seven children, two sous and five daughters. The sons, Henry and George, died in infancy. The daugh ters are all living. Mary E. married John Jenulson, Jr., of Walpolo, N. II. She has two sons and two daughters. Fannlo M. mar ried B. W. Bpooner of Petersham, Mass', and has fivo children, of whom -four are daugh ters. Anna L. married It. E. Smith of Sax tons llivcr, who had ona son, besides whom tbey now have four children, two sons and two daughters. Miss Nora and Katie E. re side with their parents. Such a brief outliue of the genoulogical and domestic life of the wedded pair we this day delight to honor. And from what we know of their hallowed enjoyments during their half century of haud.iu-hand lifo, through which they have passed, we are sure they aro on this day ready to witness to the truth of what another has said or matrimonial pleasures ; "Though fools spurn Ilymen'i gtntle powen, We, who improv hit golden bouri, Uf iweet eiperltuce know Thtt mtrrlsgr, rightly unJmlooJ, Giles to tbe tender sod lb. good A ptrsdUe below."

In looking over tho progress of our vll logo in tbo last seventeen years wo find that the population has doubled iu that time. Seventeen years ago there were 130 dwelling houses in the villago; now there are 215. Other buildings have increased in numbers as much, and all kinds of business has in creased in proportion, This is tho kind of change that wo like to Bee in n villaee.
