The Springfield Republican has correspon-
dent in Iowa who touches on matters and things
in general in vein of quiet humor, not unpleas-
ant to read. In the following extract from one
of his letters there is slight confusion of the
products of Vermont with those of New Hamp-
shire; but still our Democratic friends may find
his suggestions worth attention.
There is to be democratic convention in
Vermont l submit whether such an assem-
blage there is not an ornamental luxury which
should be dispensed with, in time of stagnant
markets and a stringent money pressure. The
main exports of the state are under heavy de-
preston. Scythe stones, sheep with sharpened
noses, railway shares worth $OOOl each, and
third mortgage bonds, bearing relative value
to stock, viii not justify much license of expen-
diture. Really, the descendants of Ethan AL
len, particularly Of the Buchanan faith, must alb
jure their pleasant little excursions to Montpe-
her, to nominate state ticket, aud rptrench the
outlay for railroad fare and rum

The RUTLAND CoNvENTIoN.--Th "Reform-
ers," Gree Lovers" "Spiritualsts," and all
that class of dissatisfied, disaffected and discon-
tented men and women were present either in
person or by proxy at Rutland on Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday The convention was held
in a tent and seemed to be an affair that the
good people Of Rutland kept as much aloof
from as possible. 1t was called to order by
John Landon of Rutland. Among the speak
ers were II. c. Wright VIM. Goodell, S. p.
Britain, Elder Miles Grant, A. d. Gardner, DIR.
Brown, Mrs. Julia Branch, Mrs. T.. L. Rose, II.
Z. Cutting, A. ]. Davis, and host of others Of
similar associations. For description of the
crowd assembled, the following from the cor
respondent of the New York Tribune is I'M
doubtedly just:
aside from the speakers and active particpators
in the exercises, the men who lounge into the big
tent, and lazy stretch themselves the grass and
chew straws while they listen with benevolent pa
tence to the TRADES from the platform, lises
lazy unshorn and shtless" looking any set Of un-
forunates gathered into n crowd with the Their
mometer in a torrid humor
As for the ladies who grace the assembly with their
fair presence, aside from the pubcly-known female
advocates of Womon's Rights and other Utopian lux
ures, and who would not thank to praise their
beauty and accomplishments, single remark will suf-
flee. IL any of them shoud ever be accused Of
being what people of carnal minds sometimes call
good-looking," not jury in the land but would in
stanty acqut her Of that Infounded charge, even
though that jury were composed of dozen very old
bachelors with wigs and false teeth who would be
naturally enthusiastic the subject of female beau
ty."

abroad was our old friend Col VIM. Schouler,
formerly of the Boston alias, but now of the
Boston Atlas and Daily Bee. Since the gal

defunct journal-the Boston Atlas,-he has
been West where he acquired fame and an adj
ditional title as Adutant General of Ohio. He
has now returned to Boston and assumed the
senior editorship of the Daily Bee to which is
preixed the title of his first love. The old
friends of the Atlas the entire editorial frater-
nifty of New England, and thousands of others
welcome his return to the editorship of Re-

VERMONT IrEMs.-A correspondent at North
field, VT, sends the Boston Journal the follow
ing news items:
Liquor Law in Vermont. On Saturday, the
10th inst, John Coffran was brought before
Hon. Judge Pierpoint, Judge of the Supreme
Court, on writ ofhaJeas corpus. He had been
tried before Justice of the Peace for violating
the law for "the prohibition of the sale of intox,
icating liquors for the purpose of drinking" and
found guilty of four violations. 1t was proved
on the trial that he had been twice previously
adjudged guilty of the same offense, and he was
accordingly sentenced to pay fine of eighty
dollars and the costs of prosecution, and also to
be confined in the county Jail for the space of
three months. In accordance with the sentence
he was committed. The habeas corpus was
brought up by his attorneys Jackson A. Vail of
Montpelier, and George NJ. Fisk of Mortified,
to test the legality Of his imprisonment. After
a full hearing, His Honor ordered the prisoner
to be remanded to the custody of the jailor, to
serve the remainder Of his sentence.
Fire A house and barn, belonging to Jo-
seph Bradish of Montpelier, VT, who Is Dep
uty Sheriff of that place, was partially burned
on Friday night Of last week. The Are was the
work of an incendiary. This is the second time
an attempt has been made to burn the same
premises within short time.

SHOCKING DEATH BY LIGHTNING.-The
house occupied BY +. Gostrick, German, stu
ated on the east side of the upper road leading
to Cheapside from this village, just this side OF
j. Russell < Co.'S cutlery works, was struck by
lightning during the shower of Friday afternoon,
and his daughter Augusta, aged 10 years, kill
ed. The lightning was probably attracted to
the house by large white pine tree which stood
north of the house and the branches of which
partly overhung the roof of the house. The
tree standing upon rocky soil and being bad
conductor of electricity, the fluid passed down
the chimney of the house, which rested upon the
ground, and was better conductor. The girl
who was killed, was standing with a younger
sister, in the lower room of the house, beside
the chimney and took the whole force of the
shock, the fluid passing from the chamber above
through the ceiling over where she stood on to
her head and down her body Marks of the
lightning were left upon her hands and face, her
eyebrows and lashes were singed off, her breast
was blistered and her left side from her breast
to the top of her hip bone were shockingly burn
ed. A small hole was also made in her side,
just above the hip bone, as if it was punched in
by stick. She was either thrown by the force
of the shock or run, about six feet, into another
room where she fell upon the floor. Her death
must have been instantaneous. Her younger
sister, who was standing by the side of her, had
one foot slightly burned. Her mother, who was
in the same room. holding baby, was badly in
jured upon the inside of one of her thighs, the
flesh having that appearance it would have, lift
had been struck with heavy club. The house
was not much injured, the plastering only being
knocked off about the chimney in three or four
rooms. The wife of VIM. Fender, who occu-
pies the honse north, ten or twelve feet from the
tree, was ironing at window facing the tree
and saw the bolt descend. A fiat iron which
held in her hand at the time, was thrown six or
eight feet from her, across the room, barely gra-
zing the head of child who lay in cradle and
she herself severely shocked. The contended
strongly that the lightning struck her upon the
top of her head but she probably received no
other damage than violent shock. Hundreds
of our citizens visited the place during the af-
ternoon.-G Greenfield Gazette.

minutes. His death was caused by the separa-

DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING.-A despatch in the
Worcester Spy, dated Norwalk, Conn, June
9th, says that the lightning struck large liv-
cry stable there on Saturday night, entirely con-
Stunning it. The fire then spread to an adjoining
stable, which was also consumed together with
large iron foundry and store-house. The no.
tel TO which the stables were attached was slight
ly damaged. One man and several horses were
killed. Loss from $4,000 to $1,000.
The State Prison at Concord, N. H., was
struck by lightning on Saturday noon. One
bolt started down the lightning rod, but the con-
nection being defective, the lightning passed in
to the building through the stone walls, and
then, following the steam pipes, it went into the
cook-room, knocking the cook backwards,
breaking considerable crockery stunning one of
the prisoners in his CELL and then disappeared.

The ExEcuTIoN.-James Magee was execu-

his life He refused spiritual consolation almost
entirely At quarter to ten on Friday morn

the scaffold with frmness, followed by the Sher-

Advent, who read such selections from the
Scriptures as are provided for like occasions by

given by the relations of the bride and her
friends. Upon this departure from the too fash
ionable mode of getting married and then lcav-
ing in the first fast train, the Times says:
I'VE like this old-fashioned, hearty, JOYOUS
mode of celebration, which makes such formida-
BILE war on dull care and melancholy, because it
marks the happiest era of life with the highest
enjoyment, and makes for the anxious editor an
interesting local item and if we could, would
utterly explode the fashionable and to us ride
ulous custom of rousing up sleepy, shivering
party before daylight, to perform a hasty cere-
mony at the gray dawn, and swallow dyspep-
tic breakfast, in order to drive out nervous,
frightened girl at the early train away from
fathers house, as if parents were glad to be rid
of her, or the whole affair was one that all par
ties were ashamed of and could not despatch too
soon before their neighbors were ustir."
