died. = Thei son, soon after, lost all his
property through-the-war, and went as a
poor emigrant to aTfar distant village. In
this Village there lived great many
shoe-makers,. who used to spend a good
deal Of money on shoe-nails Id the townt
and often!were unable TO procure them a,
high price; for, throughout, the whole
district many thousand shoes were made
for the soldiers.
Young Mr.. Won Berg, whoHyas in very

shoe-makers with nails in abundance, if
they would assist him to set9up a work

now now maintained himself very abuhdantly.

x Cunning Horse.

FrapeonF, director of. the HippOdrome
in Paris, and the famous artist in horse
Inanshfp, has trained a horse with great
Care;to feie'n bong severely wounded, and
go hnhpihg back to his place. The four
footed actor performed his part admirably
at rehearsal, knowing well that disobe-
dience would be followed by immediate
punishment; but when the time came for
exhibitioA the cunning beast gmaae1 the
-disceyerythat there would be nowhipping
in the presence of an audience, and In
stead of limping as It ought galloped back
as if nothing had happened. Francom
was obliged to resortto the expedient of
getting up an audience to deceive the re-
frantOryi iahimal.1 Relying on the proieo-
tion sS before, the horse again refusedto
limp, and received a sound beating. This
impaired his confidence In the public as a
/ shield from his maSter's whip, and from
that time his part was well elEoperformed at
every representation. 11a 1ai1a55 OF

New Trouble in Kansas.

Intelligence from Kansas as late as the lStl
inst, reports Governor Walker as making cx
pertinent of his capacity to enforce at Law
renee, the odious laws of the Border Ruffial
Legislature. The citizens of Lawrence hat
undertaken to organize city government
conflicting somewhat with the charter grant
ed by the usurpers, and in this Gov Walker
has found prctcxt for issuing a procama
ton announcing rebellion, and for calling
out the United States troops to suppress it
lie had ordered body of troops to the Vi
cinity Of Lawrence to hinder further proceed
ings. Dispatches have been forwarded from
Washington to General Harvey. commands
ing the forces destined for Utah. directing
him to 80 to the assistance of Gov. Walker
if his aid should be needed in quclling the
disturbance at Lawrence. Such are the facts
as reported by telegraph. We presume there
may be some cxagscraton in the statements
received. and that the difficulty is not likely
to involve the serious consequences which the
first reports would seem to indicate.
1t cannot be concealed however. that Gov
Walker has recently manifested an irritable
state of mind. and a disposition to indulge in
opprobrious language towards the free State
citizens of the Territory altogether unbccom-
ing his position. and we shall not be surpri-
scd to learn that he has seen the end Of the
peace he promised to create in Kansas.
1t is certain that the South will not be sat
istcd unless he shall devote his entire intlu-
cnce to make Kansas a SLAVE State. His an
parcntlv impartial course heretofore has call
ed forth an expression of Southern sentiment
which leaves no ground for mistake as to
what will satisfy and will only satisfy the
slavcholding States. Kansas must be ~ccur-
ed to them by some means. and Judging them
bv their own confessions. we do them no in
justice in saving that they arc ready to sane
ton any form of u>urpation or violence that
will enable them to compass their end. That
they will accomplish their object. if the adj
ministration shall not lend its influence to
further it. no one believes. That they will
succeed with its aid we have no fear. Time
and Providence. or rather Providence in time
will inaugurate the reign of Justice in Kan
sas and put an end to all southern or north
ern schemes for making it slavcholding

Democratic State Convention,

The Democracy of Vermont went through
the form of holding Convention, and nom
mating State ticket, at Rutland. on Wcdncs
day of last week. The following is the tclc
graphic report sent to the Boston Dailics
The Democratic State Convention was full
ly attended, every county in the State being
represented. and at least 400 were present
Hon. J. X. Kiddcr. of West Randolph. Presi
dent; Hon. II. Ncdham and II. S. Brigham
Vice Presidents: and Fred. A. Aiken, Sec
rctarv.
The following nominations were made -
For Governor, Hon. Henry Keyc., of
Newbury Lieutenant Governor. Willis Ly-
man, of Burlington; Treasurer, J. 7. Thurs
ton, Of Montpelier.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the
course of the administration, the policy of
Governor Walker in Kansas and the recent
decision of the United States Supreme Court
One also in favor of a repeal of the present
prohibitory laws and nstructing the State
Committee to prepare an address to the pco-
pie of the State on this subject. Speeches
were made by the President. II. T.. Slough
ton and others, all of which were of pure
ly national character, having for their object
the more firmly uniting of the Democracy of
the State against whatever opposition may
arise to impede its progress.
We sincerely hope these speeches will have
their intended eficct,fo it would be too bad TO
throw any obstacles in the way of party al
ready crushed with the intolerablc burden it
has undertaken to carry here in Vermont.
We arc content with the issues which the
party seems disposed to make at the coming
September election. The people will tell
them then what they think of the Admins
tration, the decision of the United States
Supreme Court, and the prohibitory laws of
the State besides. Upon this last topic we
