THE ELECTION.

On Monday and Tuesday the election
takes place. The last paper issued before
an election. is generally more than ordina.
rily filled with news of local nature, the
candidates, &c. Having already had our
own diversion at the expense of the locos
and there being no wing ticket, it having
been decided inexpedient on Wednesday
last, by portion of the wings of the diff.
ferent townships, not TO bring forward a
wing ticket, we have nothing to say, one
way or the other, but leave the locos alone
to work out their own salvation. They
have seven candidates in the field, all dem.
ocrats, although there is some difference in
their sentiments on some points, or in other
words there are some of them who choose
to think for themselves and act without
consulting the Clique. How they will
make out is hard to tell but one thing is
certain--they have clear field to them.
selves, and we await to see what kind of a
choice they will make.

Ttco Ministers Struck by Lightning at the
Communion Table.

y
Communion Table.
A correspondent at North Stamford
Comm gives us the following narrative:
NORTH STANFORD, July S.
Saba h day, the Sd inst, was solemn
day to the people in this parish. The
morning devotions in the house Of God
were ended, the exercises of the sacra-
mental feast had commenced, the bread
broken and distributed, the cup taken
when the house in which we were assem-.
bled was struck with lightning. The ven-
cradle PLATT BUFFET, of Stanwich, was
present, and assisted the pastor, Rev.
HENRY FULLER. in the exercises. He had
poured out the wine, taken the cup, and
was giving thanks to God, when he and
Mr.. FULLER were instantaneously prostra-
ted to the earth. The groans and shrieks
which instantly broke forth from the con-
gregation it is utterly impossible for me
to describe; and yet there seemed to per-
wade the assembly the most solemn awe;
all appeared to feel as if standing on the
very verge of death. The bursting thun-
der, the livid lightning without, the thrill
ing scene within, contributed to render the
gloom most terrific.
Mr.. Fuller was not so seriously injured,
though feeling considerably affected in
some of his limbs. Mr.. Buffet is very Sc
riously injured; we supposed him dead for
some ten minutes; no signs of life were
apparent, until water was procured and
thrown upon him. He still suffers great
distress at the stomach, takes no food, but
is perfectly rational.
The electric fluid entered the chimney
top, descended to the stove pipe, and ex-
poded Immediately over the communion
table, where the servants of God were
standing. Some others were slightly af.
fected, though not seriously.
The Congregational meeting-hou in
New Canaan was struck about the same
time, and several knocked down. An
academy and dwelling house in the same
town, and dwelling in this parish, were
considerably injured.

The BOUNDARY QUEsTIoN.-The intelli-
gent correspondent of the New York Elk
press writes from Washington
So far from the North Eastern Boundary
question being disposed Of by giving the
United States the navigation of the river
st. Johns to the sea, and all that piece
of land between the present Maine Boun-
dairy line and the St. Johns river, includ-
the city of Fredericton, the capital of
New Brunswick, Lord Ashburton's instruc-
tons, / am sorry to learn, forbid him from
yielding an inch Of what is recognised as
British territory. He could not have
made the rumored negotiation if he would,
although the cession from Great Britain
to the U. States, with cession from the
United States to Great Britain of all the
territory to the north of the St. Johns
would be a fair exchange. There have,
however, been no negotiations upon the
Boundary question, and my apprehensions
are that none can be made by Lord Ash
burton, unless the instructions, which now
tie his hands, give him more freedom of
action. From the information have upon
the subject, am inclined to believe that
the Ambassador of the British Govern
ment can do no more than to give an
equivalent in money for the territory.
This proposition is too delicate an one to
submit directly, but under the color of
paying expenses incurred, presume it has
been limited at. The British Government
will pay for the whole of the territory
IN dispute, and ask only for SO much as

The editor of the Democrat refuses TO
give his private opinion of the candidates.
We want to know whether he stated on
certain occasion that he thought Claiborne
F. Jackson good enough kind of fellow
but totally unfit to represent the county;
that he was too head strong and would be
in the way at Jefferson; that such a man as
Candle would be much better, as he would
not want to lead, but would be content TO
follow; that if Jackson went to the egisla-
ture it would be to electioneer for the place
of United States Senator; that if he had
nothing against him publicly, there were
private considerations that he could urge
that would clearly show that he was not
the man; that after he had been in the
county awhile he would show them how to
conduct their party business on an i'm
proved plan, &c.

The last Democrat contains coum n
and half purporting to be a notice OF
the different candidates now before the
people for the legislature If any one
will read it carefully, take into considera-
ton all the circumstances, note the Ian
guage, and then read the Hickory Club OF
1910, they cannot be mistaken as to the
author of the article. We pity our CO.
Temporary, that fortune or misfortune has
placed him in a position that he is forced
to publish and sanction the writing of a
man whom he detests, and that too, when
the article gives the writer himself, the
most unbounded praise for devotion to
principle and a straight forward course.
We say read the article, look at the cir
cumstances and every thing that has trans
pired since the last ticket was nominated,
see. who it condemns and who it approves.
and the "fnger marks" can be traced as
clear as light. We say to our friend and
contemporary, shake off such persons, at
once, declare your independence and look
to an independent people for support, and
IT you do not succeed you will at least
have the sympathy of all honorable men.

BoONsBoRoUGH MEETING
JULY Dad.


On the evening of that day, when MI.
Louis Robiou returned TO his residence in
Glasgow, he met with one ofthe gentlemen
of that place, and being in a communica-
tive mood, occasioned probably by the
good cheer which had circulated freely, he
remarked that he had on that day perpetra-
ted more powerful speech than he ever
had on any former occasion, and remarked
at the same time that Mr.. Robinson. the
editor of the Democrat, had said, that for
the length of it, it was decidedly the most
tremendous appeal he had ever listened to-!
We have since had the good fortune to OBJ
tain from a gentleman who was on the
ground, copy of this tremendous affair.""
and for the qualification of those who are
fond of reading tremendous speeches, we
now give it to the public. Some others
having preceded the Squire, he responded
to call in the following eloquent and
brief Grafton. He made many apologies
on account of sick head ache, belly ache,
and sundry other little complaints under
which he was laboring, and then proceeded
to say
HE arose for the purpose Of explaining his
political views. You knows gentleman | were

During the whole of this beautiful ora
ton, Judge Earickson sat opposite to Mr..
Robiou-says our informant--and it was
amusing to see the uneasness manifested
by him at the manner in which his favorite
pet showed his behind. Could his thoughts
be made known, or he brought to ex-
press his real sentiments, we doubt not he
would admit himself heartily ashamed of
having been instrumental in palming upon
the people so miserable an ignoramous.--

that even his efforts will be unavailing.-
