LOCATION OF THE VERMONT CONFERENCE
SEMINARY.-A good deal of interest has
been excited in the central part Of the
State, the past few weeks, connected
with the location of the Vermont M. E.
Conference Seminary. The plan decided
on is, to unite the two at Newbury and
Springfield, and have but one, and that
QUE located in more central position,
so as to combine the patronage and in
fluence from both sides of the mountain.
The committee on location has been
listening to proposals from several com
peting towns, and have received the fol-
lowing: Newbury offers $4,000; Ran
dolph, $l3, 900; Mortified, 1900; Wa
terbury, $4,000 Montpelier, s2O,5O0. A
Montpelier correspondent of the Boston
Journal says:
On Tuesday afternoon the committee
left Montpelier for The purpose of visit
ing each of the other places-Newbury
excepted-to see the people, examine the
proposed building sites, &C., and re-
turned Thursday morning. The pro-
ceedngs before them after their return
were very animated and interesting.
Everything which would be likely to
have its influence for good or evil upon
the school in each of these towns was
developed. Hard questions were pro-
pounded and sharp answers given. II
the people in any of the towns had sins,
they did not escape mention; if they
had virtues, their friends were sure to
display them. The examination, which
was most thorough and rigid and very
patient on the part of the cammittee,
being completed, Thursday evening was
assigned for arguments. They were
commenced at o'clock, and closed at
on Friday morning. Prof. Quimby adj
vocated the claims of Newbury, Mr.
Rowell those Of Randolph, and Messrs
Carpenter and Johnson those Of North.

decision for few days, and adjourned
to meet in Boston at the centenary gath

DEATH OF A MILLIONAIRE VERMoNTER.
-Walton's Journal says: eve were
right in suggesting that Hon. Calvin
Fletcher who died on the 26th Of May,
az indianapolis, Indiana, was Yer
monter. He was born in Ludlow, Feb.
4, 1898, went to Ohio in 1916 as teach
er, and subsequently studied law in
Richmond, Va, and was admitted to the
bar. He quit Virginia in 1921, on &C.
count of his dislike of slavery, and went
into business at Indianapolis as bank
er, where he acquired very large for
tune-stated in the newspapers to
amount to two millions Of dollars. His
politics were of the Vermont school; in
religion he was a Methodist; and in
all things he was an honest and earnest
man"

Trunk line was passing through st. Hy-
acinthe, &c. W. young gentleman, Mr..
Bachand, noticed that house was on
fire, while the people seemed not to have
Weakened up. He urged the conductor
to stop the train, or at least to slacken
it; but met with a refusal. The coura-
geous young man leaped, however, from
the cars, broke his leg, and yet crept to
the burning house, which was that OF
Mr.. Desmarsis, merchant. The family
were all asleep, as Mr.. Bachand had sup
posed, and he reused them Just in time
to save their lives, with one exception,
that of q young lady % years old, a
niece of Mr.. Desmarais. She persisted

The CALIFORNIA DELEG GArIoN-The San Fran
cisco Spirit of the Times gives the following hasty
and spirited sketch of the California delegation in
Congress. "McDoUGAL, by his drunkenness and
generally disgraceful conduct is power less; Con-
NESS is simply the Washington agent of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Company; HIGBY, thoug h
from mining section, is too much engaged in the
political stafu: OF those he would like to see voters
to attend to practical legislation for the vital inter
ests of the State; BIDwELL works hard in endeay
oring to straighten the land titles of California,
further notice at our hands-we voted for him, un.
der protest" That is raking shot with a scatter
ing gun. The hard work of BIDwELL arises in this
wise: He purchased Mexican grant, aud sold
large quantities Of it to actual settlers at from - to
SIS per acre, giving warranty deeds. The grant
has since been rejected, and BIDwELL now wants
to "quet these land titles by being authorized to
buy up his rejected Mexican grant at 81 IS per
acre. Of course he would work hard under sue
circumstances. Who would not. If successful, he
will be as successful as the chap who shipped
cargo OF cotton night caps to the Ottoman empire
and then prevailed upon the Sultan to issue de-
cree requiring his subjects to wear night.caps.-
The Captain sold out his cargo at high prices; then
followed decree requiring their disuse upon the
penalty of being tied in a sack and thrown in the
Bosphorous. The Captain bought them all back
for mere song, and sailed away rich man with
his original cargo. BIDwELL is working hard' to
get the privilege of buying back the night-caps at
81 % each, that he previously sold at s25 90.
