ISrownell of Colchester, left his horse hitched at Day's stoee at Colchester Centre, last evening on going out he discovered that his horse with an open hooted buggy, coon skin robe and a common horse blanket, were missing. Upon going home, where he supposed he would find his horse, and not succeeding in doing so, he became satisfied that a thief had taken his horse and buggy. Upon searching, tracks of the horse were traced for a short distance north, after that no clue to tiio property could be found. Our police authorities were notified and are on the alert for the thief and his booty. The horse is described as being of chestnut color, white strip in the face, live years old, high hips, and thin in at Sunday morning about two o'clock the store of I.
Jleiss, on Jlridge street, was entered by some experts in search of wearing apparel and gents' furnishing goods. They had filled large satchels and were nearly ready to start with their booty, when the night watchman, accompanied by the sheriff and posse, came down and invited them to surrender. This invitation, so sudden and new lie to their energies, and hurried them through the windows into the back yard, scattering like youngjpartridges to cover. One poor fellow who was just trying on a new pair of boots, left his old pair behind hiin.and the new ones too, and, leaping the fence, lied down the bank towards the river, unmindful of the bullets that were sent after him, and was lost sight of among the rubbish near Pearson's Old Family Brewery. A lantern was then brought and search made through the back yard, where they soon found a large, stout man resting in a dry goods box.
The sheriff sent him to quarters at once, and promptly offered $20 a head for those who had eluded their search. On Sunday morning at o'clock, a young man came into the Cumberland House shivering with cold and with chaff from hay seed on his clothes and in bis hair. The sheriff took him in charge on suspicion. Two others were brought in during the day, who failed to give satisfactory accounts of themselves, and were also lodged in jail. Inter in the i.Tternoon some boys passing near the bridge on JJridge street, espied a man concealed among the timbers under the bridge.
A constable was called and the man brought from his hiding place. When, lo, his bootless feet showed him to be the man, who, by bis skilful running and artful dodging, had escaped trom his pursuers during the night. He too is in jail. Mr. Jleiss thinks but little, if anything, is missing from his store, and it is hoped that this whole company of burglars has been caught.

The iron works at Ausable Forks arc still in full blast. The mills of the various lumber concerns here, are now running on three-quarters time. This is not an unusual step for it has been their practice in two or three previous seasons. A Fort Edward correspondent of the Troy Prfsi holds that Shaw, the condemned Cam bridge poisoner, who has been sentenced to be hanged within a short time, did not have equal rights before the law, at his late trial, and that ho was convicted on the most flimsy evidence.

Editor Free ess 4 Time l'lease have the goodness to gratify the curiosity of a subscriber and many others, by showing the wisdom and good judgment of those who have the credit of introducing the system of reserved seats at the lectures of the Young Men's Association.
This is proper enough for popular concerts, but in very bad taste in this case. There are institutes who though not born with a silver spoon in their mouths, feel themselves quite as good as those more fortunate. Such habits of thinking often lead to a wish to be on an equality and to envy those who seek the highest seats. If there is a lower room they choose to take it of their own accord rather than to be compelled to use it for want of means, or because they were not in season to get into an upper room without being bidden to come up higher." If the price is not high enough for the season let it be advanced. It has been said that reserved seats will do away with a crowd at the entrance, but this will be offset by ushers or crowding through narrow passages to get to a particular seat.
For one, 1 should be unwilling for the consideration of the dollar to occupy the best seat during the course, while the stranger must take the low seat, as it would remind me of pork. If there is too much crowding at the door, let the steamboat rule of falling into line be enforced with military strictness, Let reserved seats be dropped like a hot let those who aspire to high places buy a ladder of a. g. l.

The annual meeting of the Society was held at the Junction House, Essex Junction, Oct. 21st, Dr. A. I Tagert Vice-President In the chair. The morning session was devoted to organisation, reports of officers, the appointment of a committee on nominations torepoit in the afternoon, and to the recital of singular cases in practice.
A resolution was introduced to appropriate a fixed sum from the finances of the Society as a prize to be awarded to the essay, approved as best by a committee of three. The resolution was tabled until the next quar terly meeting. Drs. Bartlett, of Milton, Varney, oFCharlotte, Cramton, of Winoos-ki, and Howe, of Jericho, briefly detailed cases of puerperal convulsious. In which the symptoms differed.
A vigorous discussion followed, involving inquiry as to how far ura-mia, hysteria, and epilepsy were present in such convulsions. Tho Society adjourned to dinner, served by the veteran proprietor, R. B. Spaulding, whose ability to cater to the curious of the medical profession of Chittenden county has been amply tested.

Dr.
i'eck opened the discussion by detailing the history and superiority of immovable splints in all fractures. The rationale of this kind of treatment ls.that it ensures euua- muscular compression; it prevents an abnormal amount of blood from going to the irritated and innamed part and it best overcomes nervous irritability in the part. Starch, dextrine, glue and modeller's plaster may be used, but the last is by far the best agent. Method of application was detailed, and two "plaster-casts" were presented one used on forearm, and one upon leg. Complete union formed in a comparatively short time, the patients during convalescence not being confined to the house.
The methods of application and ideas of Profs. Sands, Crosby, and Hamilton of New York, were stated, together with their successes, as furnished by Belle-vuo Hospital reports. Extracts were read from the N. Y. Medical Journal for June, 1872, from I'rof Sands' paper, in which ninety-three cases of successful issue aro tabulated.
A lively discussiom with reference to their safety in fractures of thigh followed, opened by Dr. Somers of Jericho. Dr. Peck explained Sands' upright bar, with Hamilton's basket-adjustment," for counter-extension, and for elevating the patient during the application of the spica to the groin. It is in fractures of the thigh that this splint finds its severest test, and in the hands of the best surgeons may be worst than useless.
The Society concurred in the excellence of the dressing elsewhere. Dr. Somers exhibited a self-registering thermometer for the pocket-case, so constructed that it rarely can be broken. Dr. Tagert related a case of hemiplegia in a young child.
The Society adjourned at five'o'clock p.m, to meet on the second Tuesday of January, 1871, at ten a. at the Junction House, Essex Junction. An unusually large number of physicians attended this meeting; the card was crowd ed with voluntary productions, some of which were necessarily postponed, and there was a high increase in the character and amount of interest in the various ex crcises. Some of the largest county towns sent their full quota of practitioners. C.
M. Ferrin-, Secretary, Essex Junction. The Condition of the Spragves. An ad journed meeting of bank representatives was held at Providence on Saturday, when the report of the committee appointed to examine the affairs of A. W.
Sprague was presented. The committee say they consider the assets of the A. W. Sprague Manufacturing Company to be liabilities $11,475,443 surplus $8,019,804. A detailed statement of the propertj-accom panies the report.
The committee advise the appointment of trustees of the vast pro perty, so that the Spragues might continue in business. The counsel of the Sprague corporation announced that the trust deeds were being made to Governor Henry How ard, Rufus Waterman and ex-Governor James Y. Smith. These deeds would be submitted to the meeting of the creditors, and if not accepted the alternative would be to go into bankruptcy. The feeling gen erally prevails that the deeds of trust will be accepted.
Stokes and Walworth. Stokes left the Tombs, Saturday, for Sing Sing, accompanied by the deputy sheriff. He was not handcuffed like ordinary culprits, and appeared to be in excellent spirits.
