papers that our Legislature has elected Milan

Il. PoNard, Judges of our Superior Courts -
Milan, Jascob, AsIlbel, and Mr.. Pollard will
doubtless be gratiicd to learn that the Tele-
graph "knows a thing or two" such "fame"
as this is worth having. The Telegraph is
great ''insttution!' Since it converted Yer

performed no more extraordinary feat than this
New York Express will "pcasc notice"
,--- We arc rcqucstedby a lot of resigned
Wings to enquire for some 75 desirable resi-
dcnces' at the | cad Of Salt River, for rent
We are free to confess that ice are among the
number. 1t is the wish Of the applicants to
tease premises ornel by our l.ocotoco friends
in that locality, rather than buy them as Wing
arrangements are only for four years. The
Burinrton ''democra,s" who are large owners
at the head Of Salt River navigation, will hear
of good tenants by applying at our Office. The
premises will be delivered in good condition, in
1886.
- LEGISLATIVE APPoINTMENTs.-Wel
are glad to see that our friend llEMAN K. Smith
ESD. Of Ilncsburgl, was, OH Thursday, elect
ed by The Legislature, Adjutant General of the
State. Gen. SMITH will discharge the duties
of the office with accuracy and ability, ard,
besides, is one of the most capital fellows in the
world. He is every inch Il gentleman, and that
is the highest qualification of the soldier.
We cannot part from the previous Adjutant
General, L. ". lIorkISs, Esq, of Rutland,
with whom we were for several years associated
in the Staff of the Commander Chief, without
bearing our willing testimony to the fidelity,
thoroughness and capacity VIII CHI characterized
his performance of his frequently laborlons and
perpIexlnr official duties. Gen. HoPKlNs was
ai,cays good, prompt and efficient officer, as
the records will prove.
- Gen. GRANpEY, of Vergennos, and S.
w. SLADE, Esq, of ST. Johnsbury, have been
re elected Quarter Master, and Judge Adyo-
cate, General.
Mr.. FEKRAND +. MERRlLL's reelection, as
Secretary of State, is but response to the
wish of the wide clrcl lie of his friends who know
his superior qualifications for the post. A more
accurate, methodical, obligng and competent
Secretary could not be found in the State.
FREDERICK f. WOODBRIDGE, Esq. we are
happy to observe, has been reelected State
Auditor Mr.. WOODBRIDGE has shown him
are glad that he has received. politically, the

notwithstanding neither California nor
Bolton has yet been heard from, our Locoioco
friends got up regular Torch Light Process

over the presumed election of Mr.. Pierce
Such intatuation is unaccounable
The Torch-light Procession, however, was
really beautiful and brilliant affair, and very
successful. twas long and bright reaching
from the Baptist Church to the Bank in Church
Street, and, to those who were not too near ii,
was very credltabIe. The enthusiasm to be
sure, was not great, but that was because it
was paid far but the lights were bright and
the whole proceeding was unexpectedly sue
cessfu Our friend, Mr.. SMALLEY was rather
doubtful as TO trying the experiment, but
having bought CHARLES NELSON, about the
most inveerate Wing of Burlington, for the oc =
cason, he thought he might venture to "go it,"
Messrs. SMALLEY and NELSON were prominent
figures in the Guaranteeing arm-in-
arm,-ebony and topaz,-Charley for rs cents
and Smalley for glory! We never expect to
; look upon such d scene again
1t is probable that Mr.. Pierce may be cleo

We are panied to learn that a very
clover "domocrat" who participated in the Lo-
coioco re- llclng IN Montpelier, last evening,
met with a serious accident, which is likely to
