motion.
He asked when such spectacle as that
offered by this Copvention had ever been
seen in Vermont? When before had a
representative of Vermont ever been so
denounced, and declined to face his accu-
sers? Here in the face Of the largest
convention ever assembled in Vermont,
honorable men had branded Mr., Baxter as
barterer of offices for money-and dared
him TO offer the opportunity for the proof
and he, within stones throw OF the
stand and called for by a thousand voices
had remained silent. Whateverelse They
did, the people of this District would never
permit such man to represent them more
cloud applause.)
The motion to adjourn was put and
carried.

successful Forgery-ss75o Booty.

From the Louisville Journal, 2Oth.l
One of the boldest and most success
full forgeries ever committed in eur city
was perpetrated last week. The facts
are about as follows
On Thursday, the 18th, n stranger
called at the banking house Of 0dor,
Taylor & Co, corner Sixth and Main
streets, and wished to sell gold check
on New York for currency. As usual,
the bankers required some city refer
ence. The man, who gave his name as
C. II. Stewart, of Texas, called on b 4.
Cafrey, the well-known steamboat agent
and presented to him a letter Of recon-
mendation from one Of Mr. c. s friends
Upon that Mr.. G. introduced so-ealied
Stewart to the firm Of 0dor, Taylor a
Co, where the stranger sold the check
rese:-:as ss7s0. in greenbacks A lew
moments after he had left, the teller dls-
covered that he had over paid man ia
the sum Of $1,000. Mr.. Stewart returned,
refunded the money over paid, stated

The form of the old judge was con-

She lifted the glittering goblet, and
letting. it .snddenly fall to the floor, it
was dashed into a thousand pieces.
Many a teariul eye watched her move
ment, and instantaneously every glass
was transferred TO the marble table on
which it had been prepared. Then, as
she looked to the fragments of crystal,
she turned to the company, saying:
Let no friend hereafter, who loves
me, tempt me to peril my soul for vine.
Not frmer the everlasting hills than my
resolve, God helping me, never to touch
or taste that terrible poison. And ne to
whom / have given my hand, who
watched over my brothers form in that
last solemn hour, and buried the wander

Will you not, my dear husband ?"
His glistening eye, his sad, sweet smile
was his answer.
The Judge left the room, and when, an
hour after, he returned, and with a more
subdued manner took part in the enter
tainment Of the bridal guests, no one
could fail to see that he, too, had deter
mined to dash the enemy at once and
forever from his princely home.

HASHEESH CANDY


The attention of thepublic is invited to Hasheesh
Candy, which is recommended to them as the best
medicine known for the cure OF all diseases of the
Throat, Lungs and Nervous System. The proprie-
tors IN thus offering 1t, feel confident that trial will
fully sustain the high reputation it has already &C
quired in various parts the United States To those
who let their preudices always blind their Judgment
is useless to present facts arguments but to 9TH
srs We feel that it will be sufficient to say that we offer
no new discovery experiment; goods are stand
ard. In the East, Hasheesh is the beginning and
the end of Medicine; it is used for numberless dis
cases. and that it is used with success we need only
refer our readers to the unlimited testimony of tray
eers in all ages. That it should SO long have escap-
ed the practical science of the Western World Is
astonishing fact; but that prepared in such
form as to make it pleasant, SAFE and above ALL eff
fectve there can be doubt that it is destined to
obtain the confidence OF the public and especially of
those for whose relief it is prepared Invalids
be assured that it contains not particle of opium
or anything else that is in any way injurious to the
system, but that it Is an agreeable and permanent
tonic. 5H

OF soldiers. The train did not arrive till very
late meantime the neighborhood was enter
TINED by cheering, shouting and singing. A
good many here have been in the American
army-for the large bounties-.nd are famil-
lar with our popular war songs; in fact have
heard no other songs here for the past three
months. Last night the leading if not the only
song sung-repeated many times-was the one
familiar to all American ears-"Tramp, tramp,
tramp, boys" and to show how little OF the real
British spirit there was in tt e singing, it is
only necessary to state that "the starry .fag'
came in, in the chorus, several times before
the discovery was made that such flag waves
over the border and not on this side. After
this unfitness of things was discovered, some
ready extemporizer substituted "Union Jack"
for "Starry Flag" and the crowd of chorus
singers soon fell into as regular line as the
spiritual condition of each would allow.
The common people herewith few excep-
tions-seem toregard Canada as the centre of
the American continent, and speak of the
United States as an inferior power, that
would suffer badly should the provincial au-
thorities cease to exercise forbearing spirit.
When told that all that prevents the Fenians
from gobbling up their whole country in two
weeks is the very power that they so much
underrate, they are apt to vince, but their
knowing ones not unfrequently say, ''that's So"

says the Spaniards could have destroyed the

modore Rodgers distinctly refutes him, and
how many days would have elapsed ere Son
Francisco would have witnessed the sale of
the Spanish feet by auction to the highest

earth combined could not have interfered

could prevent a terrible outrage against civili-

temptations of all others the most effective

proud moment for him, moment such as
rarely occurs in mans life, when his flag
rose between an armed fleet and its victims,
powerless barrier through which no power on
earth dare break. when his bare fiat could pro-
tect state, when his risk of his own COM
mission could preserve great community
