that if some of the published quotations
from speeches made in New Hampshire
we're correct, they would compare favora-

nounced the government which protects

the leading speakers. Prince John is evil

declared that the end Of the war was the

he doubted if the pext President would be

Very well, go ahead. We would as soon
have an old Democrat, as any one, for next
President. The people will demand man
who is Internationally loyal to the Govern

ltical parties will be Of little account. Mr.
Dickinson made splendid speech of course

DEATH OF f. A. KIMBALL. Lieut.
Col. L. A. Cimball was shot and instantly
killed by Gen. Cocoran last week. KIM
ball was formerly Editor of the Woodstock
Aqe. He served with distinction in the
Mexican war, and behaved with much gal
antry at Roanoke. He belonged TO the
Hawkins Zouaves.
The accounts of this sad affair are coniilc-
ting but the most reliable somewhat relieve
Corcoran of blame. 1t appears that Coo,
oran at about two O'Clock in the morning
was passing the headquarters of kimball
who rushed up and demanded the counter
sign, and was very boistrous and profane.
More words and actions followed till Gen.
c. drew his pistol and shot him on the spot.
We have seen nothing Of the kind stated
but we are of the opinion that when the
whole affair is fully investigated, the respon-
sibilty will rest upon-rum.
p. s. Corcoran and Kimball were
strangers to each other, and since writing
the above we have seen statement that
whiskey is the explanation of the affair, al
we expected.

A Union meeting in Brown County, ia

party of Knights of the Golden Circle,
under the leadership of Lewis Prosser, ex-
member of the Legislature. Prosser,
and man named Snyder, came around
with rifles and revolvers, and threatened to
shoot two sergeants (there for arresting
soldiers.l Serge ant Daniels took Prosser's
gun from him, when the latter drew pistol
and shot Daniels dead. Prosser in return
was shot and wounded severely by Captain
Cummings, who was addressing the meet
ing. Snyder also fired at the other SER
geant, but missed him. Snyder has been
arrested and brought here. Sufficient force
has been sent by tho ,p,s,.~ry sathorties to
arrest all the parties concerned.
Another difficulty occurred at Danville
Ind. ON Saturday, between party OF the
X. G. C. IS and Union men. in which five
persons were wounled-one MORALLY.

From eight to twelve Of each day, the
Conference attended TO the examination
Of character" and discussed the financial.
educational and benevolent enterprises OF
Methodism in Vermont.
Wednesday evening the Temperance
Society held It's anniversary. 1t was a sad
conviction of all that revival of temper

necessary to the saving of the young men
from ruin. Weeping mothers, dressed in
sable robes, only TOO well show how one OF

shell. but by rum.
Friday afternoon was held the S. S. an
niversary. This we did not attend. Blu

in the occasion.
The various benevolent collections re

THE SPRING ELEcTIoNs.-The returns
from the spring elections continue to be of
very gratifying character. Republican
successes are gained where the victory was
conceded to the democrats, aud in all quar-
tiers there are large republican gains. Mich
igan has been swept almost entirely clean
by the Union men, Judge Campbellis elect
Ell to the supreme bench by majority OF
1900; the republican regents TO the uni
yersity, are chosen, and niue at least out
of ten circuit judges, and the tenth proba-
bly,, The copperhead majority in Detroit
was l50 less than last fall.
In Illinois, the victory, although not SO
sweeping, is still sure and gratifying. In
the eleven counties reported about two
thirds Of the towns have gone republican
and even In southern and central Illinois.
Egypt" where the copperheads thought
they were sure of success, the republican
victories have been numerous and decisive.
In Wisconsin the copperheads thought they
had secured The election of their candid ate
for judge of the supreme court by 5000 to
1000, basing their expectations on the large
democratic gains in Milwaukee. But the
returns from the country have upset their
calculations, and Dixon, the republican can
ddate is found to be elected by handsome
majority. Out of 1914 soldiers votes il
the Wisconsin regiments, G15S were cast fol
Judge Dixon. The copperhead gains il
) Milwaukee and some other places, were on
account of certain railroad mortgages
which the republican candidate held should
not be repudiated, while portion of the
voters in certain localities held that they
should.
Ohio has also had her munieipa! and
town elections, and the gratifying Union sue
cess in her chief city, Cincinnati, is sam
pie of the way her principal cities anl
towns have gone.
From New Jersey the returns come il

Information is received that in every
direction there is steady call for any of
the articles that we have been in the habit
of furnishing to the hospitals and sick and
wounded of the army. But it is requested
that all the cotton to be made up, be made
into sheets and shirts, and all the money be
invested in yarn and cloth for the present.
Let every woman and girl in the State
make something at once, to help supply the
