The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, Friday, July 26, 1889 Here and There 7/26/1889 Lewis DUGAN of Wallingford has been sent to the Reform School for breaking into the office of BATCHELDER & Sons and pilfering the contents of the money-drawer. The saw and grist mills of the Gaysville Manufacturing Co. have been transferred to other parties, who have put them in first-class shape and have added considerable wood working machinery. Henry HOEY, 22 years old, was drowned while bathing in the Connecticut river at Bellows Falls, Sunday. The body was carried over the falls and has not been recovered. His parents reside in Rutland. A Rochester young man paid thirty dollars for six trout a week or two ago. He went fishing in Pittsfield, and a half dozen of his catch failed to come up to the required six inches, and he was complained of and arrested. A telephone dispatch from Jacksonville to Brattleboro, Tuesday night, announced that a boy whose description answered to that of the missing HUMPHREY was at work in West Halifax; that he seems to be insane, and unable to tell who he is or where he belongs. The Springfield base-ball nine went to Bellows Falls, the 17th, and were beaten by the latter club--13 to 5. On Saturday last the Claremonts went down to the Falls and scored a victory of the B. F.'s--6 to 5. The B. F.'s went to Brattleboro and were defeated,--6 to 5,--Tuesday. GRIFFITH & MacINTYRE's steam mill in Landgrove was burned last Sunday morning. The fire, it is supposed, caught from the engine. The loss on the mill is $3,000, on machinery $2,000, on lumber $200. This is the second mill belonging to the same company that has burned within a month. The chief of police of Worcester, Mass., has written Mr. SPRAGUE, at Brattleboro, that the missing HUMPHREY boy has been in that place since his disappearance, but has again taken himself out of sight. It is expected he will turn up at some recruiting station, as he is crazy on military affairs. The contractors of the mail-route between Londonderry and Manchester have met with hard luck. The stockholders of the Manchester turnpike refuse to allow them any reduction from the regular rates of toll, which is 25 cents for a team or 50 cents for the stage. heretofore the stage has passed for $1.50 per month. The Methodist church at Perkinsville is closed, owing to the inability of the society to raise funds sufficient to pay a pastor. The attendance previous to closing had dwindled down to nothing. Often the only people present were the minister and the organist; occasionally a congregation of seven collected, but rarely. Prof. George A. WILLIAMS of Havana, N. Y., has been selected to fill the vacant principalship at Vermont Academy, Saxtons River. His assistants will be Prof. H. A. LIEBIG of Mt. Pleasant, Pa., Miss Frances L. DAVIS of Cavendish, and Miss Julia A. GOODWIN, a graduate of the academy and of Cooper Institute, New York city. Joel TIDD of Rutland loaned his valuable Blackstone mare, Sunday afternoon, and while returning to the village at an early hour Monday morning it met with a serious accident near the CHAFFEE crossing on West street. Two unknown parties were seen racing toward Mr. TODD's horse, and before that team could get out of the way the thill of one of the carriages struck Mr. TODD's horse in the neck between the windpipe and jugular vein. The injury is a serious one, but with careful treatment the horse will probably recover. The carriage was also much damaged. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
