and he is appointed from Addison County,

popular express messenger on the Vt. Central

assurance that he will make an excellent and
efficient officer.

LOCAL INTELLTGE EN- Gle

The LATEST WoNDER.-Looking across the
street from our sanctum last Friday we saw an
large crowd of people in the street at
the corner of Blake's Block, betokenng, as one
accustomed TO the ways of our people would
naturally suppose, a milling or a dog fight.
OF course the scissors and paste-pot were
dropped we shook ourself out of a pile of
exchanges illustrated with "cuts," and made
our way across to see the fun and, perhaps,
pick up an item for the "locol.' Upon nearing
the scene of excitement we found the crowd
slowly surging towards the entrance into the
building; to get through this dense mass was
impossible, so we formed for the moment the
rear guard and waited the movement of the
current. Amid the "noise and confusion" we
could occasionally catch the words, "big thing"
splendid, )" "Lully for the boys and similar
encouraging EXPLANATIONS. After considerable
elbowing and jostling and being all the while
well "backed up" that part of the procession
to which we were assigned entered the door,
and was brought directly III front of splendid
soda fountain. "What syrup?" strawberry"
and in twinkling Gown went the best glass Of
soda that ever we drank in Brattleboro. We
fumbled in pocket innocent of change, and
ratified an old jacknife and bunch of keys with
a good deal of vigor. To our great relief we
were Ulannly informed that our presence was
agreeable, that this was the "grand opening of
CLARK & WIZARDS new ard soon to be IA
nous Drug Store We very soon got into po-
sition in order to take an observation, but the
crowd was SO dense that we could only stand
still by moving spontaneously with the mass.
AT another time we renewed cur visit, and n
very brief examination convinced us as it has
every one else that this new shop is the hand
soonest, prettest, most neatly arranged, and
in every particular the best establishment of
the kind in Vermont. The room is well situa-
ted and well lighted, with windows suitably
adapted to the display of wares and merchon-
dies the goods are conveniently and tasteiully
arranged by praciscd hands; and the estab-
lishment really looks as if it would be pleas
ure to take dose of medicine put up there.
The young proprietors are both graduates of
good houses, they are thoroughly versed in their
business, and are bound to receive full share
of public patronage. AT any rate it is worth
while to visit their store merely "for the looks
of the thing" and see their beautiful display
of not only drugs and medicines, but a long
line of fancy articles in an almost endless va
riety. A drink from their fountain will mollify
a heated temper, and allay the iriitabiity Of
an excited mind Remember, Clark & Will

RAIN "Wednesday the 4th inst, was en-
phatically rainy doy-not only the raniest
day of the season but the rainest day during
the last nine months. The weather was warm,
the rain commenced falling gently, and the dry
and parched earth drank in the desired moisture
greedily, until, in this vicinity at least, the
ground was saturated. 1t is singular fact
that this rain did not extend far to the North
At Mddlebury and Bradford there was no APP
peNrauce of rain, and at Brandon and White
River Junctio but the merest sprinkle Here
several inches of water fell. At New York the
storm was very severe, and in Pennsylvania a
great freshet was the result. Saturday after
noon about five o'clock we were visited by a
thunder shower from the northwest, which soon
set into norlheasterly storm the rain falling
continuously all night. The ground is now in
a splendid condition and vegetation looks jubi-
liant.

STATE CoNvENTIoN.-Initsnp appropriate place
we publish the call issued by the Republican
Site Committee, for State Convention at
Montpelier on the 9th of July. We are well
satisfied with the form of the CALL as it extends
an invitation only to those who support Presi-
dent Lincoln's Administration and policy.
With all such we can work cordially and heart
lily in carrying out the principles upon which
that administration is based. SO far as our ex-
changes have alluded to the subject they all
concur in the opinion that the present State
officers should be re-nominated.
