This town was organized on the first Tuesday, which was the first day, of March, 1708, probably at the house of John Arms, which stood about where the Retreat farm-house stands. There were about GO voters, seven of whom lived about old Fort Dummer, and from there to William King's, where Lorenzo Thayer's farm is 10 lived north of West river and the rest north west of Arms'e. There was a grist mill and a saw mill on Whetstone brook at the bridge, at which no one lived, and no one lived between Cemetery hill and Mr.

Arms's. John Arms was the moderator, Dr. Henry Wells was made clerk, Samuel Wells supervisor. They had no selectmen. Other officers required by the laws of the province of New York were chosen, and thus the organization was accomplished.

Boiler riplosion at Itenul ngtaa.

One of the boilers connected with the electric light plant, a mile east of Bennington village exploded Wednesday afternoon. There were two men at work in the engine house, J. P. Daley, the engineer, and Win. Conland, the fireman.

Daley, when discovered, lay in the engine room unconscious. He was badly cut and bruissd, but alive. Physician thinks, however, that it is impossible for him to live. Con-land, the fireman, when found was lying under a pile of rubbish. He was completely covered with debris, but was conscious.

He begged to be taken out quick, and after being removed asked to be allowed to walk borne. It is feared that both are hurt internally, and will not live. Mr. Dalev is a prominent Odd Feilow. The "boiler house is a complete wreck.

The force of the explosion was so great that one of the boilers was thrown fully 150 feet into the river. A beam feet long was carried over the building and 20 feet beyond. The iron smoke stack was blown otf, and had it not been for a wire that ran as a guy it would have killed Conland. Tho dynamo as well as the engine room is badly wrecked. Nearly every window is out and part of the brick walls and roof are badly damaged.

When done it was an appropriate and handsome structure, admired by outsiders, and a source of pride for the town. For 40 ycars it stood without alteration, repair or sign of decay on the outside, and but little alteration within. Its use during these 40 years was not confined to municipal purposes; but state conventions, grand concerts and theatrical shows were hold in thegm.1 hall; and the cointy clerk's olVice, lawyer's offices, book stores and the post office were at times kept below.

Moody and the Northfleld Schools. Although Mr. Moody has been able to touch the hearts of many a rich man and bus received thousands of dollars which he has applied to his schools and other work, he is not personally thought to be worth over 810,000. He gives the royalty which he receives from the sale of the hymn books to the schools. This amounts to about annually.

The expenses of running to two schools with 600 pupils in attendance amount to 3120,000, more than is received for tuition. This leaves 830,000 to be received Irom other sources beside tho tuition and hymn book royalty, and Mr. Moody depends upon the friends of the work to see to it that it is forth coming. It was a surprise to many this week to know that the Moody family were in such humble circumstances after the death of the father. There were days when the outlook was dubious Mrs.

Neglect is the fatal thing. Never allow the first symptoms the tired feeling, the weakened nerves, the loss of power of endurance, the lack of snap and energy to drift you into total loss of health.

In 17S5 the road, now the old road from Marlboro, wat built down through to here. Through West Brat-tleboro it did not come where it now does, but went straight out to where the seminary buildings are and then straight down to tho brook. The support of tho gospel then, by law, rested upon the towns, and the meeting-houses for both religious and town meetings were to bo provided fur by the towns. This town voted to build a new meeting-house, and to set on! this road east of Capt. Houghton's.

It was built there, 00 by 48, two stories high, and the north side was just about in the horse path of the present traveled track opposite the present meetinghouse. The front door was on the south side with another entrance at each end, and a belfry with a steeple was finally built at the west end. Pews were sold to raise money to finish it. Here the town and religious meetings were held till 1817. when the houso was moved to where the present one is.

The town had then been relieved by law from supporting the gospel, but it still owneil the meeting-house subject to the rights of the pew-holders. Town meetings in the same place with religious meetings wero not agreeable.

A table in front of him contained a variety of poisons spread on dinner plates. Within an hour the captain conveyed to his stomach the following substances A quantity of saw dust that had been reduced to carbon bv burning in a tin platter with Kerosene; a solution of Paris green; a solution of "Rough on mixture of arsenic and ground glass); a mixture of bluing powder and borax a piece of indigo, washed down with water; a solution obtained by dissolving a bunch of common matches beer; a piece of phosphoruos; a piece of bituminous coal. He retained all these substances iu his stomach, drinking water after each in order to take the bad tastes out of his mouth. "Once in my stomach" he said, "they trouble mo no longer." No antidotes of any kind were taken, and the captain chose his poisons as the company selected. He has been doing this eight veara, and can offer no explanation.
