SIaycd or Stolen

A ND supposed to be stolen, from the subscri
IA Der about the 18th June last, % or 30 sheep,
before shearing. 1t was then supposed tina, the
said sheep had gone on 10 the mountain, and
would in due time be found; but they have not
yet been heard from, which induces belief tina,
they were stolen. They were mostly marked
G. Is on the right side, near the shoulder, and the
others on the rump, and had a slit in the right
cal about one third the length Of il and the end
cut nearly one third off Probably the sheep
were shear-d and then sold, so that no mark but
the ear mark can now DO seen. Whoever has
said sheep now, shall loose nothing by giving in
formation where they can be found, and how they
came by them as the object is TO detect the thief
The subscriber has about 100 good fat wealth
ers, and 100 store sheep for sale; also, 100 good
sheep to let on reasonable terms.

DIED.

In ilubbardion on the 9th July, Mr. John
Rumsey, aged 80
MIR Rumsey was a soldier of the Revolution
and rs such served his country for moro than
seven years, which terminated the struggle 10,
liberty and doliverance from the British yoke
lie therefore was one Of the many that con-
Tered on us the blessings Of civil and religious
liberty. Not many years after the war he be.
came subject of the grace Of God and con.
nectcd himself to the Baptist Church Of Hub
bardton, in which he held his standing until
he died.
Such were his infirmities in the last pnr,
OF his life tina, for the last five years no had
not been out Of his house; the last two OF
which he was confined 10 his room.
The writer of this visited him n number of
times for the last six months, and held reli-
gious conversation and prayers with him, for
which no expressed great satisfaction. We
therefore fondly hope that in his case, grace
has reigned through righteousness to eternal
life, lie has left wife and numerous circle
Of friends and relatives to mourn his loss

No CHANeEs.--These words have been re-
months. We have however been disposed to
regard their cry as wholly caused by appre-
hension of the truth, as SO many subterfuges
have been resorted to by the party leaders to
conceal their well grounded fears. After the
election, and almost before the boast that they
would carry the State was fully spoken, we
hear the same papers gravely stating that they
had done as well as they expected; that they
had maintained their ground and the party had
given as many votes as at the last election.
They discarded the farmer candidate for
Governor, and took up Mr.. Dillingham;, with
the expectation that the very numerous and
respectable religious denomination to which
he belongs, might DO persuaded to give him
their votes, irrespective of the great interests
of the country. And what is the result, why,
though one Of their number has consented TO
be the tool of political demagogues, the great
body of his brethren have distinctly said they
would not be thus duped, and have manfully
stood up in defence of their country. Such
device viii not do in Vermont.
But let US enquire lule into the facts; we
nave collected the aggregate Of all the count
les, excep, Franklin, Lamoile and Grand Isle
which we have not yet been able TO obtain,
and we find Van Buren, loss Of 20l7, these
counties having given in 1889 for Smile
1891 votes and in 1910 for Dillingham; l7i73.
Now changes or mo changes" IT will be read
iiy seen that if loco iocoism maintains lis
ground after this fashion, it will not take a
long time for i, TO attain to utter humiliation.
Bot we are too humane to endeayor 10 de-
spoil the hopes and the consola'ions OF The
party, founded on such results as these. And
while we canno, sympaihize in the signal de-
feat of the men who would have bound Yer
mont to the car OF their idol, to promote their
own selfish aggrandizement we will leave
them to the full enjoyment Of all the consola-
ton they can gather from their circumsian'
ce. The locos are undoubtedly as comiorta-
bic as could be expected.

SOMETHING MysrrRIous.--Wo wero veyv
much alarmed on taking Up the Statesman NJ
the 9Th Sept, inst, We were filled with for.
bodings that the Wings were "done for"-tha,
the banks were not to be trusted. or that the
county Committee were more afraid of an
overthrow than we had ever dreamed OF. Our
hrs' thought was to advise the Wings TO take
TO their heels for safety, but the "sober second
thought" convinced MS that i, would be as well
TO wait and see the worst, as IL would be in
vain TO attempt an escape from such gross
e'mnafHy. Texas, even, would not afford a
secure re,rea, from such odium, for "murder
will out"
But the awful event may as well be announ-

'Chauncey Howe, sound Wing, who resides
In Wells, in this county, were out early in the

young Wings on election day. and while en-
gagged in their morning diversions, terrible to

but by what trusty hands /. was sent to Wells
1t does not appear quite so clear, though from
the note addressed to the Statesman, it was
suspected the High Sheriff might know about
1t, as he passed through the place the evening
before the letter was found and within about
two miles of the place where the letter was
picked up. But upon this point we venture
no opinion Of our own--the sheriff is of age,
ask him.
we thought we would publish the letter, as
such enormities ought to be- exposed, cut
where they will but, supposinp from tie We.
and universal i..torance, that the editor of
tho Statesman will keep it as standing mat
ter" that they may be able to supply the pub
lie with as many editions as may be needed,
we have concluded not TO interfere with the
publication, though at the risk of being con-
sdered unfaithful chroniclers of times.
There cannot be the least shadow OF
doubt that the letter is the work Of the author
himself, as it bears indubitable marks Of being
genuine.
