SECOND DISTRICT CoNvESTIoy.-The
dispatch received on Tuesday evening
did not inform us that Judge Poland was
present at the Second District Conven-
ton, addressed 1t, and accepted the nom-
instlon rendered him, We learn, how
ever that such was the case,
The Senatorial question" between
the Judge and Mr. Morrill, may therefore
be regarded as settled. 1t Is hardly
necessary for us 70 say that the Second
District will be represented in Congress
by very able, influential and useful
member, who will reflect great credit on
the District and the State, And al
though we think his best place is the
Senate, we rejoice in common with all
others at the harmonious settlement Of
the controversy.
We learn by an Extra from the Bel
lows Falls Times Office, that q resolution
was adopted at the Convention that all
Congressional District Conventions in
that District should hereafter be called
and held as Delegate Conventions. The
resolution was us follows:
Resolved. That hereafter, all Congress
sional District Conventions in this Dis
trict shall be called and holden as Dele
gate Conventions; that each town in
the district casting less than one hun
bred Republican votes for Governor at
the State election next preceding said
District Convention, shall be entitled to
one delegate, and each town casting
more than one hundred Republican votes
at said State election, shall be entitled
to one additional delegate, and one dele
gate for each fractional part of one hun
bred votes exceeding fifty.
The following resolution was &lso
adopted,
Resolved, That we hold the long ser
vices Of our distinguished Representa-
tive, the Hon. Justin S. Morrill,, in CRATE
full remembrance-services useful to
his country, honorable to his district
and to himself; and whether he shall be

more narrow sphere of private life, oul
confidence in his ability, integrity and
patriotism, will remain undiminished.
A resolution censuring Congress fol
increasing the pay of its members, wa.
| dismissed, after an explanation from
Judge Poland that the bill passed wa:
to equalize the pay of members, ant
not to increase it, and that the aggregate
amount of pay would not be so mach al
under the old law.
The Convention was held in the oper
air, as there was no hall large enough
to accommodate the number assembled

PRRsoNAL.-Major T. H. H&Isey. Pay
master U. S. A., has been brevetted Col
onel for faithful and meritorious ser
vices in his department.
The Burlington Times says: "Our
fellow citizen, Senator George F. Ed
munds, returned home last evening, and
was warmly welcomed by his friends
and neighbors. The Senator, consider
ing the fatiguing congressional duties
be has discharged since his appointment,
is looking remarkably well. We believe
we but express the general feeling of his
tOwnsmen and constituents when we
hope that at an early hour he will consent
20 address them upon the political issues
Of the day."

1t is dangerous to use guano in the

same table with the Ohio rebel, they will
feel interested in his view OF the situa-
ton, as told by the Chicago journal:
Hon, Clement L. Vallandigham, one Of
the most eminent and illustrious Of the
delegates to the Philadelphia bread-and-
butter convention, made the significant
remark to friend of ours, the other
day, that "the only question now up was
whether the whale would swallow Jonah
or Jonah the whale-that is, whether
the great Democratic party would swal-
low the handful of johnson men, or
whether the handful of Johnson men
would swallow the great Democratic
party. For my part" said the Ohio
delegate, II have no fears or doubts as
to which will do the swallowing at

THE CoNCERT.-The nusic Of the
Mendelssohn QEintette Club last evening
at Town Hall, was as charming as ever
Solos were exQuisitely performed by Wulf
Fries on the violincellO, Carl Meisel on
the violin, Thomas Ryan on the clario-
net, and Edward Boyer on the flute
Mrs. H. M. Smith sang beautifully an
air from "Nabuco," your name; the
honey-bees are humming it," and a
Swedish ballad. The power, compass,
richness and cultivation Of her voice are
seldom equalled. She was loudly APP
plauded and encored, and will be sure Of
warm welcome whenever she visits
Rutland again.
The audience, last evening, we were
sorry to see, was by no means so large
as the rare musical treat deserved. The
Town Hall, too, was in shocking con-
dition, but we are happy to learn that
there is prospect Of improvement there.
We trust the QuiHtette Club will never
pass this way without favoring US.

We knelt at evening by his couch,
Our hearts brimtull OF joy,
And thanked our father for the gift
OF this, our darling boy.
Wegazed upon his SNOWY BROW
Bis lids closed DER bis eyes,
And thought how beautifully here,
Our sleeping Wessie lies.
His red lips parted, two small teeth
Shone out like little pearls
And on the pillow fell shower
Of bril- ht and shining curls.
He was our youngest, best beloved,
And we happy pair.
We softly pressed his dimpled hands,
And gently kissed his hair.
So night came down, and with the morn
The Sabbath morn of love;
We sought him, but our Father God
Had called the boy above.
Ohi never more his soft blue eyes
Will meet the gaze of ours
Oh, never more his red lips breathe
The fragrance Of the flowers.
Oh, never more his tiny clasp
Around our necks be drawn
Nor music Of hs angel voice
Awake as at the dawn.

Farewell, sweet little cherub,
Who could wish thee back again
Thou art freed from every sorrow,
Every grief and every pain.
Jesus said let little children,
Let them come, say, 10 me.
And that His great kingdom
Is composed of such as thee.
Not the prayers Of thy dear mother,
Not the longinRs of her heart,
Gould keep thee, could not save thee
When He willed that we must part.
For some great and noble purpose
He hath taken him away
To that land Of peace and pleasure
To the realms of endless day.
just as that sweet plant was growing
And expanding to our view,
Death, alas came sweeping DER him,
Aud he suddenly withdrew.
When we all stood weeping round him,
Striving to prolong his stay,
Did there not voice within us
Whisper We may pass away.
Thea weep not for him. dear mother,
Oft methinks hear him say,
Come my parents, come my sister,
Come my brothers, come away.
Como and leave earth's vain allurements,
All it's pleasures, all its pain,
Jesus, he is waiting for you,
Come and live with me again.
Come and taste those heavenly pleasures,
Where your child has gone before;
Come and meet your little Wessie,
Where death cannot part US more.
