lass Is condemned by the people of his ua-

sides. Brardon gave Royce 2g2 votes,
and Clark ~ Fairbanks received l5G, and

fall apparently on MERIT CLARK, they are
intended TO reach Pierce and Douglass.
Chicago. too, has condemned the traitor,
and practically disowned him. He is
political vagabond, and will find aid and
comfort only on his southern plantation, and

OF our local history.
We have made efforts to procure histor-
icsl sketches, and full description of the
chief matters of interest in every town in
this county. As yet we have obtained
nothing but promises from all the towns,
except Brandon. Nothing could add more
to the interest OF country paper than
local history, and local information. This
kind of reading is of great benefit TO the
several towns and villages, to the men Of
enterprise and capital, aud to the readers
generally. But people seem TO be more
interested in the history of some people
long since turned TO dust, than in that of
Vermont. Most readers expect that no

lures, and quarying in their own vicinity.
