These dogs are often accompanied by a small boy, and are fitted out with panniers of leather or wicker, fastened to each side, in the same manner as donkeys are loaded. These dogs are. hired out by their owners, and are mostly employed by the small trimming stores, although I have seen them employed by butchers, and alsq by bakers, to carry fresh bread or meat every morning to customers. They are said to be very excellent servants, and they go trotting about the streets very sagacious and dignified in demeanor. Subscription papers are being circulated among the citizens and townspeople for the purpose of making up to Mrs.

Cobb and Miss Sedman the amount of their loss we are glad to say they are being generously and liberally signed. No clue whatever has been gained to the burglars, or even in what direction they went after leaving the bank. Concerning Mr. Adams' bonds, it may be added, they were left at the bank as collateral security, and it has not yet been settled whether Mr. Adams or the bank is the loser.

Accident. Tuesday night as Richard O'Neil, watchman for L. Barnes was helping the railroad men get an engine on the track near the Vt. Central Depot, he was severely hurt by the sudden flying out of a rail which was in use as a lever it struck him on the leg and one hand. One of the earliest coins of New England, a Pine Tree Hid.

of 1652, was dug up near tho corner of Sewell st. Newburyport, Mass. recently, while excavating for the water pipes. The shillings are much more common than the threepences. This specimen was in a fine state of preservation.

New Ferry boat. The Gen. Burnside" a small steamboat about 120 feet long, which will run 15 miles an hour, it is said, is now coming up the St. Lawrence, to reach Lake Champlain. She is to be run by a stock company as a ferry boat between Rouses Point and Burlington, touching at Plattsburgh and the Islands, under command of Capt.

PERSONAL. Among the guests at the American this evening, we notice the name of Hon. Oakes Ames, of North Eaton, Mass. Mr. Ames' high position among the enterprising and successful manufacturers and railroad capitalists of the Bay State, has long been recognized.

A member for two years of the State Executive Council, and a Member of Congress since 1862, he has proved his eminent fitness for public as well as private trusts. One of the original projectors of the Union Pacific Railroad, he showed his confidence in the route by becoming one of its largest stockholders. As one of the firmest friends and strongest supporters of the plan for the extension of the Rutland R. line, they have honored themselves in naming their new boat after him. We also notice among other arrivals who will also be of the party, which make the trial trip and excursion by boat and rail to Montreal this morning, Peter Butler, George B.

Chase, and E. A. Birchard, of Boston, Hon. John B. Page, of Rutland, Jas.

H. Williams, of Bellows Falls, one of the Directors of the Rutland Railroad, Lyman Nichols, President of the Agricultural Railroad, W. D. Forbes, Isaac Sweetser, Director of the Ogdena- burg Railroad, Wm. Dehone, Chief Justice 1 Bigelow, Jacob Edwards, John Gardner, Francis M.

Weld, Charles F. Adams, all of Boston, and John E. Lyon, President of the Boston, Concord Montreal Railroad, and moving spirit in the sky route via Mt. Washington all largely interested in the railroad. Hon.

C. J. Brydges, General Manager of the Grand Trunk Railroad, S. W. Foster, Hon.

J. Terrill, of Montreal, and representatives from all our New England and many other railroads. BrattLEborO. A large Grant and Colfax flag was thrown to the breeze by the G. C.

Club of Brattleboro on Monday afternoon, and in the evening, Hon. L. P. Poland addressed a large meeting. The Republicans of Brattleboro and of Windham County are wide-awake, and we expect to see as handsome an increase of the Republican vote in that County, as in any County in the State.

Vote at the September Election. We learn that one of the canvassers in the county reports 60 voters in the town of Charlotte as doubtful." and wont go to the polls." We trust that this report is not true, as we cannot believe that the good town of Charlotte contains 60 men so indifferent to the issues of the hour and the influence upon other States of a full vote in Vermont as to stay away from the polls at election. To be of any service our county canvassers must make a closer estimate than this. Times. 19th.

The return alluded to is an exceptional one. The canvassers generally do not go by "estimate" but by actual count, and from many towns not a doubtful voter is returned. Recorder's Court. BEFORE JUSTICE HOJ.MENBKTK. Wednesday, Aug.

lt. Fined John Dupaw, who resides mv Winooski, was fined $10, and eots, for selling liquor. Frank MuCollough, Patrick Eagan, and Frederick Doty were fined three dollars apiece for stealing fruit from the garden of Mr. Leonard Johonnett, corner of Church and Pearl Streets. The boys were cautioned by the Court against being again found pilfering from gardens, as in the next case, the extreme penalty of the law, a fine of $20, or imprisonment in the Couuty jail for SO days, would be imposed.

Canadian News. The -Eastern Townships races come off at Freleighsburg on the 2d and 3d of September. Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir George E. Cartier, and other notables, arrived at Quebec Saturday.

An old man, named Joseph Marchand, farmer, died at St Flavien from exhaustion. He had walked 40 miles the day preceding his death, in search of employment, without food or rest. A fire in the woods near Georgetown, 34 miles from Toronto, on Thursday, threatened to destroy that place all the stores were closed, and the whole population turned out to fight the fire. The Government proposes to adopt measures to prevent the importation to Canada of cattle from the Western States, on account of the new cattle disease. Bears seem to le quite plenty in Bolton, P.

Late Cherries. Mr. H. C. A.

Smith of this city has brought ua cherries fresh picked from one of his trees a full month behind the season. The Burlington Savings Bank has removed to the old Farmers and Mechanics Bank building corner of College Street and St Paul. Look to Your. Faucets Late Tuesday night the water was found running in Beach's bakery, where some one had opened a faucet while the water was cut off, and left it open. The cellar was nearly flooded.

The pride of our lake, the Adirondack, we understand, is by no means inclined to yield the palm for speed to the new steamer Oakes Ames, and probably a trip across the lake side by side, or as nearly so as may be, will be needed to settle the question. It wouldn't be surprising if some such trial came off shortly. The regular trial trip of the Oakes Ames, preliminary to her entry upon active service between here and Plattsburg, takes place to-day. She will leave in the forenoon, with a pleasant party, including a number of gentlemen from Boston and points along the RutUnd Railroad line, leading gentlemen connected with the lower roads, and invited guests, both ladies and gentlemen, After ft trip across the Lake to Willsboro Bay, and thence to Plattsburg, the party go through to Montreal to look over the Canadians connection of the Rutland, Burling-ton, Plattsburg and Montreal route, and return at their pleasure. The Keene Band will accompany the excursion.

Cars were run on to the Ames yesterday with perfect success, and a train of freight and passenger cars will be taken over to-day. We doubt not that this will be one of the pleasantest excursions of the season. Breaks in the Waterpipes. Early yesterday morning, about 2 a. aleak started in the water main, at the corner of College and Cham-plain streets.

Workmen had been engaged during the day in putting in a new the one laid with the pipe proving too small, and not having made connection with the Champlain street pipe, closed the pipe with a wooden plug. This was driven out by the pressure of the water, soon after the full head was put on, and before the cut off above could be shut, quite a flood had gone down College street, cutting a channel in the road and washing down quantities of on Lake street. The railroad track behind Barnes new mill was filled in several inches deep with sand, and the basement of a house nearly opposite, owned by Patrick Campbell, was flooded with water and mud, to the great consternation of the tenants. To-day workmen have been engaged in taking out the new which was found to be cracked, and in putting in another, so that the water will be cut off for another day probably. About 5 p.

m. yesterday a leak started near Pearl street in the pipe connecting the College street main with the old reservoir on the corner of William street, but the water was cut off before much damage was done. The Wohkingmen's TJsiox held a meeting at their hall in Payne's Block, on Church street, last evening, which was largely attended by members and spectators. E. M.

Sutton presided. Short addresses were made by Messrs. I. J. Monahan, J.

Lonergan and K. M. Sutton, ursring the members of the Union to zeal and unity in the political undertakings before them. It was silted that the organization at present numbers over 450 members, and that with its probable increase before election they could accomplish all they set out to. Their successes at the last city election were duly recounted, and arc expected to have a stimulating effect.

Unnaturalized citizens, and young men having just reached their majority, were urged to become qualified voters, and all were admonished to make sure that their names were on the check list It was announced that Mr. Lanctot, whose lecture a few nights since was so well received, will address the Union and its friends again tomorrow evening at the City HalL He will also lecture before the Workingmen's Union of Winooski ou Friday evening next, at which time he will be accompanied by a delegation from the Union of this city. Charles W. aged four years youngest son of Mr. JE.

W. Ilaskness, of Ilinesburgh, had his left foot taken off by a mowing machine on morning, August 17. He had followed his father into the field, and while the father was driving a pair of fast walking horses on a machine with a rear cutter bar, and for a moment had his eye 3 the cutter, in some unaccountable way, Charley, playing in the hay," as he says, come up and stepped his foot over the bar, and it was taken close off at the ankle the bank burglary must have been in possession of the lock combination, else they could never have got in. now mey goi it is tne question. Vermont Democracy, and the election.

Did you ever attend a democratic convention in Vermont? I found it convenient to drop in at one the other day, and came away with my republican faith strengthened a hundred fold. If any man looks in such an assembly for high and lofty patriotism, pure morality, intelligent culture, or even an ordinary acquaintance with the topics of the day, he will be disappointed. What he would find I will not say. Nasby, if he were there, could point out the counterparts of "Bascom," McPelter," "Issaker Gavitt," and all the other statesmen of the "Corners." The party in this State boasts no better class. Every one knows that in Vermont.

Another thing noticeable at these conclaves is the absence of young men. Tho democratic party in Vermont does not contain them. The young, vigorous, growing intellect of the State, that which must control its politics and its morals, is true to the principles of republicanism. The repudiation schemes of Pendleton and the treasonable doctrines of "Brick" Pomeroy have no supporters among them. Before closing, allow me to say a word which must reach many republicans of this State through the Advertiser.

The democrats are making great efforts this year to increase their vote. They know that the existence of their party depends on election of Horatio Seymour this fall. With him the organization stands or falls. Vermont sounds the key-note of the campaign, and they know that if it be faint, its echoes from California will be still fainter but if it be sharp and strong, its reverberation from that Pacific State will be still stronger. No matter if Vermont is a small State.

Whatever influence she has ought to be in the right direction. These men count upon your indifference. Let them be deceived Many republicans, say they, will not go to the polls. See to it that this is not the case. You can and must roll up a majority of thirty thousand in September.

Nothing but your own supineness will prevent it. Burlington letter to the Boston Advertiser. The correspondent at Saratoga, of one of the New York papers thus relates the capture of a murderer: Going from innocence to crime, perhaps a few details of the arrest of Ray may not be devoid of interest. Ray murdered Capt. Anderson, of the Republic, on the Mississippi, for the purpose of robbery, as the Captain was supposed to have plenty of money with him.

He eluded pursuit, and being indiced in St. Louis last June, handbills were issued giving his description. One of them was sent to Detective Case fat Saratoga, who stuck it in his pocket without thinking any more about it. Last Monday, the head waiter at Congress Hall came to Case, and said there was a strange negroe hanging around the servants' hall, and he wanted him put out. Case went down, and on seeing him was reminded of his hanabill, but found he had left it up stairs.

Not wishing to alarm the fellow he permitted him to go unmolested, and the next day he was around again eating his dinner. Having compared the negro's appearance with the handbill, and become convinced that he had caught the man, Case went np to him and asked him if he was a waiter, The fellow ofl his guard, said No, he was a bar ber on the Mississippi." ust what was wanted. Case said if he would come with him he thought he could get him a situation. They went to the wine vault and Case compared notes and felt sure, so he politely said he should have to arrest him and clapped on the handcuffs. The fellow kicked and struggled but it was no use.

There was, however, one discrepancy; the negro was considerably taller than the description. Case telegraphed to St. Louis, and the answer came that the height on the bill was wrong, and the actual height was just what Case had found it to be. So Ray is held awaiting the officer's arrival from St. Louis.

Religious Hoaxes. It is quite time, for the sake of Christian decency, that the perpetration of all such hoaxes as copies of letters written by our Lord, and copies of the Saviour's portrait, should now be discontinued. People, says the (English) Rock, possessed of ordinary common sense, and especially those who know anything about such matters, are not to be imposed upon by the publication of such shams, and it is in no way creditable to palm them off upon the ignorant and credulous. Here is a choice specimen taken from a country paper of last week The Letter supposed to have been written by our Saviour. In our last impression appeared an extract from an American paper, stating that Mr.

F. Wilson had filed in the United States District Court for copyright the copy of a letter said to have been written by Jesus Christ, and found, sixty-five years after his crucifixion, about eighty milea from Iconium. AVe wei-e not aware that there was a copy of this letter in this town, but it appears that Mrs. Mann, of the Jephson Gardens Lodge, has an admirable copy, which has been in her possession for nearly forty years. Mrs.

Mann has also a copy of the Saviour's portrait, made by the widow of Judge Fletcher, from the original, in the possession of the Rev. Dr. Peter Browne's Provost, of Trinity College, Dublin, with the following inscription This figvre is the similitvde of ovre Lord and ovre Savior, imprinted in amirald by the predecessors of the great Tvrks and sent to the Pope InncSent the VII at the cost of the great Tvrke for a token for this cawse to redeem his brother that was token The best portrait of the Saviour, as well as the best messages He ever left to mankind, are to be found in the Gospels given to us by those who knew and loved Ilim. They are genuine and correct, and are the only authentic memorials of Him to be found upon earth. Hotel Arrivals.

Deputy Collector Cady seized the team of II. H. Mead, East Ilichford, on Monday last in Fletcher, together with 15 gallons of smuggled whiskey. A dog supposed to be mad was shot in St. Albans on Friday.

The St. Albans Brigade Band serenaded Hon, W. C. Smith on his return from the District Convention, after his re-nomination. The Richford Sentinel tells the following lightning story Last Saturday night, while Mr.

P. O. Wetherby, of Fletcher, and Hiram Wood, of Lowell, were returning home from Fairfax, they were struck by lightning. It was raining, and they had an umbrella spread. They remember of having seen a light while riding along at a slow trot, but nothing further.

The first that came td their knowledge was that Mr. Wood found himself out of the wagon and Mr. Wetherby and team out of sight. He advanced a little and found the team and Mr. W.

standing quietly. Mr. W. still unconscious, in a standing position, with the lines in one hand. He was soon aroused by Mr.

Wood. They found their umbrella shivered to pieces, the boot of the wagon torn, and the dashboard broken off. Mr. Wetherby was badly injured on the right side, and was unable to be carried home that night, but was quite well the next morning. Mr.

Wood had his left leg badly bruised. It is thought that the electric charge struck the umbrella and passed around the right side of Mr. Wetherby and on to the wagon near the dashboard, which it broke off." It is probably not supposable that the "fluid" was anything of the nature of Jersey lightning." RUTLAND COUNTY. Two men, for drunkenness, were fined $10 each, in Rutland, Monday, and the woman who sold them liquor $16. Mrs.

S. M. Dorr and her daughter were thrown out of their wagon, in Rutland, on Monday, by collision with a runaway team, and severely bruised. Mrs. Calvin Bruce, of South Wallingford, was found by the neighbors, on the morning of the 15th, sitting on her door-steps, her head leaning against the casing, quite dead.

She and her husband lived alone, and he went to bed first the night before, leaving her still up, and slept soundly all night. The cause of Mrs. Bruee's death is not stated. A horse thief took a horse from P. Norton, and a buggy and harness from Mrs.

Hitchcock, of West Haven, on the night of the 10th, and left for parts unknown.

The Banner contains the following additional particulars of the recent robbery of the First National Bank of that village The Teller was dispatched to Lillie's Safe Works, Troy, where the safe was manufactured, to bring up an expert to open the lock but before his arrival the next morning, Mr. Cobb had gained an entrance to the outer apartment of the safe, only to find that it had been completely cleaned of all its contents of value save a quantity of Town bonds, which the burglars knew of course to be valueless to them, and a few stamps, and also found the dial of the inner compartment gone, which convinced him, and the officers of the Bank, that that too had been cleaned of its contents. In this inner apartment were the great bulk of bonds on deposit for safe keeping by the holders amounting probably, to fully $100,000, and our village was filled with pale and anxious countenances, all dreading the moment when the expert should gain an entrance only to find everything swept away. Many had their all deposited, and the feeling which pervaded the entire community can be easily imagined, especially when the officers of the bank gave it as their opinion from the first that all had been taken. All this time the Troy expert, Mr.

Sterling, was hard at work endeavoring to strike the combination, but at the end of two or three hours gave it up as a hopeless task, and taking up the hammer and chisel, he shortly made his way in, when the joyful discovery was made that the inner contents were all safe, the burglars having failed entirely in gaining an entrance thereto, and had probably taken away the dial to perplex the officers of the bank, and so gain time in escaping. A vast burden seemed at once to be rolled off the hearts of the community, and where before only pale, anxious countenances were to be met, there were now smiles and mutual congratulations that the calamity which, if the worst had been realized, would have swept away fully $100,000 of the surplus funds of Bennington had been in a very great degree averted. But as it is the loss is by no means a small one, reaching fully $25,000, and the losers have the fullest sympathy of the whole community. We subjoin a list of the losses, as furnished us by the cashier, Mr. Cobb L.

They left no litter or confusion of any kind, not even a stamp or shin plaster the floor? Two or three parties issinqr the bank at half-past, ten to eleven o'clock, Saturday night, noticed a light, but supposed it was Mr. Cobb.

There can be no doubt the burglars were then at work, which shows that they had been "working up" the job and calculating their chances, knowing that it would be regarded as nothing strange to see a light there -na late as eleven or twelve One of the resolutions adopted at a town meeting held in Salem, N. on the first Tuesday in April, 1787, was On motion. Resolved, That none of the inhabitants of Salem be found in the tavern after 9 o'clock at night, except upon necessary busi ness. Imagine, reader, if you can, the men of today passing such a resolution as that! But then, necessary business might cover somewhat of tavern-loitering, even then. St.

Albans Butter Market. On Tuesday 957 tubs of butter were shipped at St. Albans, at prices ranging from 35 to 40 cents, and a few prime lots a little higher. The quality was not quite up to the average, the pastures beginning to suffer from the continued drouth. Gross weight, 53,730 pounds.

There were 200 boxes of cheese shipped from the East Berkshire factory at 15 cents per pound. About 300 hegs at reported price of 10 1-2 cents were shipped to Boston. Washington dispatches refer to the revival of the old project for establishing an American protectorate over Mexicoour Government giving Juarez certain guarantees, (and especially a little money, )twhile Juarez cedes Lower California, and permits us to straighten our southern boundary line. There is little doubt that in time we shall have to take hold of this Mexican busi ness. Progress of the Nation Inquiries.

With a view of embodying in the next annual report from the General Land Office an article on the progress of population, manufactures, agriculture and commerce in this country, Commissioner Wilson has addressed a circular letter to the Governors of the different states, requesting are-ply to the following inquiries Firstr-l-What was the population of your state on the 1st of July, 1868, according to the most reliable data or estimates Second What was the aggregate true value of real and personal property respectively? Third What amount of capital is invested in manufactures What species of manufactures does it represent, and what is the annual value of manufactured articles Fourth What is the extent in miles of the railroad system of your state, finished and in progress, each separately, and what amount of capital is devoted to this enterprise Fifth What is the character and extent of your commercial facilities, embracing rivers, canals, railroads, Sixth What is the number of cities and towns in your state, and how many have a population of three thousand and over? Mr. Stevens, not long before his death, said to a correspondent of the New York Tribune I have achieved nothing in Congress. Until the war began I was a plodder without influence, and since it began I have been so radical that I had no control over anybody." No," he added, after a pause of a moment or two, I'm not over proud of my congressional career."
