Il hard Joke and bad .4ccidsnt.- On Satur-
day the democracy Of Randolph procured a can
non and charged 1t, ready for loud report,
on the arrival Of Lieu. Gov Kidder and friends
in the train from Montpelier. The train came,
and waited few moments, so that the demo-
cratic passengers might re, pond to the gun with
hearty cheer. The fire was applied, and tho
gun wouldn't 90 oh,-but the train did The
gun had been spiked by some roguish whig, or
staunch freesoller, probably After three hours
drilling, the file was disengaged, and the gun
discharged. Thereupon two men attempted To
load the gun again, without proper precautions,
and unfortunately the cartridge exploded before
charging had been completed, and one Of the
men IA Frenchman) was so horribly mangcd as
to endanger his life. Bad business all round.

The Election Of State Officers has at last been
completed and has resulted in the success of the
entire democratic ticket. This result is due
partly to a union Of the democratic party with a
large majority Of the freesoilers,-pa to an
other element, both clear and mixcd-and for
tie rest, 10 the absence Of members from the post
Of duty. Thus has been effected clear sweep,
though some may think it is not very clean one.
On the election Of Governor, one whig mem
Der was absent, and the election Of Mr.. Robin
son was secured by the absence Of that member
and tn rejection Of two blank ballots.
On the election Of Lieutenant Governor eigh-
fcen members were absent. Mr.. Kidder receiy-
ed just enough votes to elect counting four
blank ballots against an election.
On the election of Treasurer, ticeniy fire mem
bers were absent Mr.. Page received the same
number of votes as did Mr.. kidder.
Though feeling it TO be our duty to record
these facts, we accept the results with becom-
ing resignation, trusting that the people Ct Yer
mont will hereafter prevent the occurrence OF
all such mistakes.
