She and another lady and children were
driving their team up hill, while the

belonging to DIR. Weeks of Walden, which
were standing at the hotel in the village,
took fright and ran on TO them as above
stated. 1t was Of course very careless TO
leave horses in that way.

DEATH or MASS CoNvENTIoNs.--
The year 1866, will date the death of
mass conventions in Vermont for the pur-
pose Of making nominations. We notice
that the Orleans County Union Conven-
tion has just voted to have delegate con-
ventions in the future. The State, first
and second district conventions all voted
for delegate conventions in the future and
the performance at Hydepark in the third
district has settled all future mass conven-
tions for that part Of the State. In Wind
sor county we hear of many who have
heretofore opposed delegate conventions
but who are now equally in earnest il
their favor. The great cloud they saw
roll up to our district CONVENTION from
Windham county, settled them. Good
Next year will inaugurate the delegate
system throughout the State.

to gain particle Of strength on this ac-
count, for they will as surely be united

presence of Union men, and be not de-
ceived by it.

AN EDITOR FOR CONGRESS- !-On our

in this district Not having full faith in

COUPLE OF THIEVES NABBED.-A
couple of young men went into Cragin's
store on Monday when one inquired for
butter. Mr.. Cragin was absent to dinner,
and the boy went down cellar TO show
him the butter. He decided not TO buy
and the two came up. The other pretend
ed he wanted some potatoes, and the boy
went down cellar again with him to show
him the potatoes, having felt little sus-
picious and first examined the money
drawer and found it all right. He didn't
buy any potatoes of course, and on COM
/ ing up both made off. The boy looked
again at the money drawer and found the
money gone, and Immediately started af-
ter the rogaes, and in the street secured
the aid of Mr.. Edmund Blake who hap
pened to be near. They came up with
one of them near the Island House, when
the boy charged the theft upon him with
out reserve. He denied it, and j. ID.
Bridgeman being in the Island House
was called out, and on making examina-
ton of their prisone found pocket book
in each Of his pant pockets, both contain
ing money and also loose money 10 bills
in each vest pocket. The chap took
them all out except one vest pocket, and
on being call ed on for the contents of that,
the boy Immediately identified the money
as that taken from the drawer. The 9TH
er made his escape across the river
Capt. Taylor was put upon his track, and
taking the 6 o'clock Rutland & Burling-
ton train found him at Rockingham sta
ton, arrested and brought him back TO
this place where both were brought be-
fore Justice A. S. Campbell, and were re-
quired to give bail in the sum of $3.50,
and for want thereof both were sent TO
Jail. They pretended to be from North
ampton, Mass, and one called his name
Lyman and the other Elwell. They were
strangers here and it is not all probable
that their stories were correct. The
name of the boy who worked up" this
case so creditably, is JOSIAH Was, son
of S. S. Villas of this village and only
about twelve years of age.

So. READING, Aug. 81, 1866

So. READING, Aug. q, 1866.
Mr.. EprToR Being sojourner for
short time in this quiet village, / had the
pleasure of attending. festival given by
the Sabbath School connected with the
Methodist Society in this place, ON Satur-
day last. Although the school is a small
one, yet in point of intelligence, and the
observance of good order and decorum, it
will, / think, compare favorably with
some larger schools possessing superior
advantages. When we consider the short
time devoted TO preparation for the occa-
sion, and the success which attended the
efforts of the superintendent, and others
who cooperated with him, we are led to
believe they are faithful in the discharge
of their duties TO those who are admitted
TO their care.
The exercises at the church were very
interesting, and consisted in speaking and
singing by the children, and addresses by
the pastor and superintendent. The sing
ing was excellent, which added very much
to the interest of the occasion. After the
exercises at the church were concluded,
the children formed in procession and
marched TO the common, followed by the
whole congregation, where bountiful
collation. awaited their attention, and to
which ample justice was done. Those
who provided so literally for the wants of
the inner man on this occasion, are de
serving of much praise. The tables were
beautifully decorated with flowers and
notices. and were literally loaded down
with danties, which were lavishly sup
piled to all present, and the poor were
not forgotten. Everything relating to this
pleasant little affair, was most admirably
conceived and executed, and all seemed to
enjoy it highly. J. S. W.

a. The desperation of the rebel cause
in this town may be inferred from the
fact that they are now offering the Irish
free transportation and. $3.50 for their
votes next Tuesday. One Irishman, a
poor man, came forward on Wednesday
and says that this offer has been made to
him this week. This alone ought 10 be
sufficient to bring out every Union man
in town to the polls next Tuesday and put
down this cesspool of political corruption
which exists among US.

Trouble in the Camp.

The democracy of this town have met
with surprise this week, not TO say
most unexpected obstacle. Some of the
Irish at first .bolted, and their bolt consti-
tuted piece of independence wholly un-
expected, and fell ike q. bombshell in their
camp. The case as we understand it is
this: The Irish say hat during the late
raid on Canada the only sympathy they
obtained in this place was from members
of the Union party, while all the old dem
ocratic leaders, for whom and with whom
they have voted for years, gave them the
cold shoulder, and in fact opposed their
war on England and their efforts TO liber-
ate Ireland. precisely as they opposed
the war for the Union. Now this is re-
ally the truth, and hence this week they
have been labored with day and night in
the most piteous and beseeching manner
and promises made 10 them after the man
ner of the devil up in the mountain, if
they will only vote the democratic ticket
once more, and it is now claimed that
most of them have finally caved in, but
whether those who still stand out intend
to vote the Union ticket or an indepen-
dent Fenian ticket of their own, we are
not informed, but for while, at least,
their assertion of their own political in
dependence constituted the most novel po-
litical event which has happened in this
place for long time.
