Seventy-four Cows Burned.

The telegraph mentioned the burning
of Hogan's dairy stables, near Cincinnati,
few days since. together with seventy
cows. The stables contained seventy
four cows, four horses, one mule, four or
fiva calves and two goats, and of all this
stock only two cows, the mule, the goats
and two calves escaped but they were
so badly burned that it was the part Of
humanity TO kill them. The horrible
spectacle in the stables during the confa-
grafton is described as the most piteously
and indescribably narrowing. The Gin
cinnati Commercial Adcertiser says:
The live stock were all tied in their
stalls. The horses and mules were hal
tered in the usual manner, and the COWS
were bound around their horns. When
the flames first commenced their ravager
the poor animals snorted and be llowed
with hideous and frantic force. As tie

Mr.. EARLE,-Dear Sir-In your IS
sue Of August 9th, l see you have noticed
the several schools in the county and
among others you refer to the principal
Of the high school at Coventry. Now
as I am not much acquainted with editors
or their ways, you would confer favor
by informing me personally or otherwise,
as you may prefer, what was intended by
the remarks to which l aIlude.
A SUBSCRIBER.
Coventry, Aug. %.
We are much obliged to our cores
pendent for his interrogatory, and for
giving Us an opportunity to say just what
we did and what we did not mean in our
remarks upon Mr.. Dewey, as we had
previous to receiving the above note IN
derstood that there were wrong impress
sions obtained in Coventry, in conse-
quence of our unguarded remarks about
their principal. Well, we meant to CON-
piment Mr.. Dewey, and did not intend
to injure him or the school as our first
mention Of him will abundantIy prove
We have been acquainted with Mr.
Dewey some two years and in all our in.
tercourse have ever found him q gentle
man, and no one who is as we'll acquaint
ed with him as we are, will say augh
against him. The offensive remarl
would have been we'll enough when spo
ken to him in person, but to parade it il
print it wears a different aspect and ",
do not wonder That some Of our Co7entr,
friends placed a wrong construction upol
our real meaning.

\ CURIOsITY.-One of the most Gu
rious things we ever heard of is the fol-
lowing: At Mr.. Elkins' mill in North
Troy, a few days since, piece of black
web silk in a perfect state of preserva-
ton, together with a few birch chips,
was discovered imbedded in a pine log
which was being sawed. The log was
solid save where the articles were found.
There for few inches the log was hol-
low. There was no crack nor hole by
which the silk could have been thrust in,
but the tree had grown over it complete
Iy. The silk was nearly a yard long
How it came there is more than we can
explain, and how it could be preserved
for the period that it would take the tree
to grow over it, is very strange.

The County Convention.

The Republican Convention which as
sembled at this place on Wednesday last
was a large and harmonious gathering.
It was addressed by the Hon. Homer E.
Royce, our able Congressman, in a speech
of some two hours length, in which he
reviewed the acts of the present corrupt
and imbecile administration in manner
that showed he was posted in all its do
ings. He reviewed the whole Kansas
frauds, the Lecompton swindle, the En-
glish iuggle, and also dwelt at some
length on the lavish expenditures of the
administration, and proved that the Dem
ocratic party is, as in the days of John
c. Calhoun, bound together by the CO.
hcsive power of public plumber
Mr.. Royce is a graceful and fluent
speaker, who seems to thoroughly under
stand the great questions of the day
Besides dealing in facts, he has vein Of
sarcasm which underlies his remarks, and
renders him on the whole an interesting
speaker. We think the third district has
reason to be proud of her delegate, and
she will express her opinion of him a
the polls by mountain majority.
I'VE publish elsewhere the proceeding.
of the Convention.

of the Hon. Homer +. Royce, for the Of
flee of Representative in Congress, and
that we will assure him by our U0teS that
bis official acts in that exalted station
have thus far msrited and do reeelDe our
unqualified appreciation.
ResoEved, That we will support and
elect triumphanty the County ticket
which we have this day nominated.
ReSolved, That we tender our thanks
and sincere Acknowledgements to the Hon.
Homer Z. Royce, for the able and elo-
quent manner in which he has this day
addressed this convention.

DEMOCRATIC CONyENTIoN.-T h e
Democratic Convention which assembled
at this place on the 22d inst, set up the
following ticket to be knocked down on
the 9TH of September For Senator,
Amasa Paine of Lowell; Assistant
Judges, Jabez Pinney of Greensboro,
and of Newport; Judge
of Probate, Joseph DwiunelI of Glover
Sheriff, Don c. A. Richardson of Crafts
bury; States Attorney, Samuel A. Will
lard of Barton; High Bailif, John W.
Mason of Irasburgh.
We were not present at the Conven-
ton, but understand from those who were
in attendance that it was very large
and enthusiastic gathering. They me-
in the Grand Jury room, which wa:
nearly filed by the immense throng.
We presume the usual resolves were
passed, pledging their unwavering faitI
in "Old Buck" and rejoicing over hi
mastery Kansas policy.

q Senator Green of Missouri has
recently written a letter in which he
says:
!" Many persons differ with me in re-
gard to what the future course oc Dou-
glass will be, and have heard many per-
sons express their opinion that in 1860
he will be identified with the Republi-
cans. If he should war on the Demo
cratic party, we must war on him; but
if he should fight in our ranks, against
the common enemy, I should certainly
prefer him to any one belonging to the
enemy. No doubt Douglass did US grear
and serious harm during the last session
but | trust Democrats will never be 81
eager for revenge as to countenance the
election of Black Republican"

The DELIVERIES OF KANSAS
Gerrit Smith has written another letter
rebuking some of his friends for their
lukewarmness. But the following ex-
tract contains a grain of good sense, and
which is the more remarkable as coming
from peace man:
"The true history of Kansas is yet
to be written. The impression that she
has been preserved from the grasp Of
slavery by the skill of party leaders and
by speeches in Congress is as false as it
is common. She has been preserved
from it by her own brave spirits and
strong arms. To no man living is there
so much praise due for beating back the
tide Of border-rufiianism and slavery as
to my old and dear friend, John Brown
of Osowatomie; though he has had at
no time under his command more thar
l6O fighting men, yet by his unsurpas-
sed skill and courage he has accomplish
ed wonders for the cause of freedom
Small as have been the armed force,
which have saved Kansas, their main.
/ tenance has nevertheless taxed some per
sons heavily. My eye, at this moment
Is on one merchant in Boston who ha
contributed several thousand dollars t,
this object. What compared with hin
has gaseous oratory in or out of Congress
done for Kansas 2"

FIRE IN WEsTFIELD.-On Friday
night last the dwelling house of Mr.. VIM.
II. Richardson in Westfeld, took fire,
which but for its early discovery and the
kind offices of a heavy shower of rain
which began to fall soon after it broke
out, would have consumed the building.
As it was, however, considerable damage
was done. The fire broke out through
the roof, and was supposed to have been
kindled by candle, as there had been
some member of the family in the cham
Der during the evening with a light.

A CHARACTER.-We suggest to the
next tale writer that he make character
Of the editor of the Irasburgh Standard.
If successful it would immortaise the
writer, if not the editor.-FTeeman.
An excellent suggestion, Mr.. Boyce.
We would make a very good moral
character to "grace a poem or adorn a
tale" Our Author was quite success
ful'' on that point. Can the editor of the
Freeman, with equal truth, claim as
much?

"SIx DAYS SHALT Thou LABOR" =
One of the benefits resulting from Sun
day labor was shown few days ago
A gentleman in this town had few
acres Of fallen timber which he wished
to clear off, and as the day was fine he
thought he would fire his brush heaps.
In lighting one Of them a twig by some
means became entangled in his watch
chain and twitched the watch from his
pocket and threw it into the blazing heap.
BY the time he found the exact locality
Of his time piece, it was void and with
out form" The watch was a gold one
and valued at eighty dollars. This i:
one of the punishments for breaking the
sabbath, though God does not Away;

For High Bailif.

JOSEPH BATES, I'd, of Derby.
N. W. bingham, from the committee
on Resolutions, made the following re-
port -
Your Committee beg leave to report
the following Resolutions -
Resolced, That we fully and heartily
concur in the resolutions passed at the
Republican State Convention on the 29th
of June last, which resolutions are as fol-
lows -
ResoEved, That as a branch Of the
great Republican Party Of the nation,
we renewedly avow our adherence and
fidelity to the platform of principles
adopted at the National Convention at
Philadelphia on the 18th of June, 1856.
ReSolred, That as Representatives of
the Republican Party of Vermont, we
glory in the record which our State holds
up to the world upon the questions which
concern the natural rights and liberties
of man-that she has never for one mo-
ment, by Constitution or law, sanctioned
the guilty fantasy that there can be pro-
perry in man that the claim of superb
GRITTY by birth, prescription, or law, finds
no warrant in her annals but that the
great truths of the Declaration of In
dependence, sneered at by some and i'm
piously denied by others, nave been to
our people a solemn and living reality.
ReSoiUed, That it is the crying scandal
of the age, that the National Govern
in all its departments-Legislative, Ju-
dicial and Executive-has been usurped
and is controlled by an Oligarchy, COM
bined to exact Slavery at the expense Of
Freedom manifested Of late in its in
justice and duplicity; in the fraudulent
breach of time-honoTed compromises in
its forcing by armed invasion and fraud
upon an unwilling people the curse Of
Slavery, and a government which they
abhor; in its schemes OF fillibustering
and the plumber of weaker nations, to
open new fields for human bondage and
in that browning shame upon Law, Reli-
gion and History, crimsoning the records
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States-the bred Scott decision.
Resolved, That the denial by the Ma
tional Government Of the rights of citi
zenship to men of color. citizens of the
several States, in prohibiting them from
entering as citizens upon the public do
main-in refusing passports to such per
sons travelling abroad while recognize,
as citizens of the States at home and il
refusing custom registers to vessels own
ed by such citizen, is sad departure
from the principles of our fathers-ant
10 its unconstitutionality adds the mean
ness OF gratuitous oppression.
Resolved, That we are required b,
the claims of humanity and citizenship
in defense Of human nature outraged, 0
the interests Of free labor stricken down
of the free institutions bequeathed US b,
our fathers, and in defense of our owl
Liberty to resist these and like agrees
ion at all times and at all hazards.
Resolved, That we accept, as the mis-
sion of the Republican party, the restor
alton Of the government, in law and ad
ministration, to its ancient purity-t
restore to liberty its lost nationality
vindicate for free labor free men and 70
man as man their God given rights.

New DEMOCRATIC PAPERs.-Du-
ring the week past we have received the
first numbers of two Democratic papers
published in this State, one called " Tie
Democrat" published at St. Albans, by
George Church & Co., and the other at
Mortified by Andrew Hoffman, entitled
the "Nort6tield Herald" Both these
candidates for Democratic patronage pre-
sent clean, pretty faces, and in everything
save politics, meet our ideas Of good fam
lily papers. Any man who is brave
enough to start paper devoted to the
interests of Old Buck" and his waning
party, has more valor than discretion, to
say the least. Success to the finances Of
the several publishers, is our wish, but
may the deepest disasters attend their
political futurel

LEGATION of our paper over one day to give
the County Committee an opportunity to
bring about this desirable state of affairs.
Much resentment was felt as soon as the
nominees were declared, that so many Of
them should be given to Derby, and by
none was the wrong more deeply felt than
by the citizens of that town. Mr.. Tink-

unanimously declined, and the committee
have placed the names of 7. G. Miles O
