call from the Congregational church and
Society at Swanton, TO become their
pastor, was duly and thoroughly exam
ined on the principal points of theology
by the council convened for that purpose
at Swanton, on Friday October 9th, at
p. m, The candidate having given sat
isfactory proof OF his qualifications for
the position to which he had been called,
the council proceeded on the day fol-
lowing TO induct him TO the pastoral
charge of that church.
The sermon of the occasion was
preached by Rev. Norman Seaver, D. d.
OF Rutland, from the passage, "And We
are not our own; for We are bought with
a price" LIST Cor. vi /; 10, 20. The calm
and earnest attention given to the dis
course was evidence sufficient of its ex-
eellence, as well as of the ability of the
preacher, The other part of the very
interesting exercises Were performed by
Rev. Messrs. Cady, Bittinger Comings,
Talman, Wright and Swift, closing with
the benediction by Rev. A. 7. Deming,
pastor elect.

letter from Montpelier.

MONTPELIER, Oct. u, 1866.
Election day has come and gone, and
to the surprise and delight of every
body, instead Of the dripping clouds and
muddy streets, which are the usual ac-
compartments, it was one Of the loveliest
October days that are ever experienced
in this latitude. With that exception,
everything took place according to the
| time-honored programme. There was
the usual influx of men, women and
children from the rural districts, the
usual invasion of the State House, in
each and every part, the Governors
chamber not excepted, the usual ped
lers Of honey, tin ware, popcorn, &C..
&c, on the common, the usual racing
and swapping Of cheap horses by gentle
men OF the French persuasion, the usual
deriding, swearing, shouting and a very
little of the usual fighting.
All this was outside. But in the Leg
islature there was some departure from
the usual programme. The beautiful
weather and the deli ghtful election re-
turns impaired serenity and cheerful
ness to all the members, Except about a
bakers dosen) and they effected their or
ganization with promptness and una
nlmity entirely without precedent. For
the first time within my remembrance.
the Speaker Of the House was elected by
clVa C0ee vote, and without the slight
est opposition. OF course it was John
W. Stewart. He acknowledged the COM
pliment in a speech, which, for its
brevity and appropriateness, deserves to
become model. He said:
~ thank you heartily for this renewed
expression of favor and confidence, and
pledge you in return my constant and
best efforts to an impartial fidelity in the
discharge of the duties which your
choice has imposed upon me. Nv feel
ing of self dstrust in accepting this DO
sition, with its grave and delicate respon-
siblities, is greatly relieved by nv as
sured trust in your unfailing courtesy,
and friendly co operation. Humbly
wishing the Divine blessing upon our
deliberations, let US unite our efforts to
bring the session upon which we now
enter to the speediest profitable conclu-
sion."
John H. Flagg was also elected Clerk |
by the same unanimous vote, for the |
third time. He has appointed as his as
sistant clerks, Albert Clarke of Roches- f!
ter, (for the third time) Eldin J. Harris
horn of Rutland, and Daniel W. Dixon
of Grand Isle; and as the Grand List
clerks, Isaac W. Sanborn of Lyndon,
and Joel H. Lucia of Vergennes.
Messrs. Lucia and Hartshorn are re-
turned soldiers, the former having
lost an arm in the service, and the
latter, though returning unscathed,

Pennsylvania Election.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.

PHILADELPHIA, OcG, III.
Forney's Press has received later dis
patches, dated this morning, indicating
abe election Of Coke, Republican, in the
10th district, by about 5000 majority,
and also the possible election OF Coyode,
Republican, in the Dist district. These
dispatches TO the Press estimate that the
Congressional delegation will stand g1S
Republicans to Democrats, and that
Geary is elected Governor by $4,000 ma
jority, being gain of l, 127 on Lincoln's
vote. The greatest anxiety is expressed
to hear from the northern tier of coun-
ties and especially rioga, Bradford and
Susquehanna. The Evening Bulletin
estimates Geary's majority in the State
to be about 1880, and possibly 90.
900.
The Democratic State General Com
mittee have received dispatches which
announce entirely different results.

Their estimate of Geary's majority is
5000, with prospect that 1t may be
reduced. Their returns from the 2lst
district indicate the election of Weir,
Democrat, over Covode, Republican.
The Democratic committee also state
that the vote in the 10th Congressional
district is very close one, with posi-
bility OF the election of DR.. Glossbrenner,
Republican.
Dispatches received by the Democratic

ACCIDBNTs.-FredS Sears OF Stowe, had
his right hand terribly mangled and torn
by being caught in the cylinder of a
threshing machine, on Saturday morning
last. 1t is expected that he can never
recover the full use of his hand, though
some of the fingers may remain on the
hand.
A laborer employed at the depot
in st. Adams was badly injured Wednes-
day morning, by the falling of wall.
He was at work in the vault, part of
the sides of which had been removed,
when the ceiling suddenly caved in,
burying the unfortunate man beneath a
mass of brick and rubbish.
Geo. P. Prouty of Brattleboro,
while getting out of wagon in MARI
boro, recently, with gun in his hand,
hit the lock in such a manner as to
cause is discharge, and his right hand
being over the muzzle the charge passed
through his hand, making severe
wound. 1t was thought he would lose
the use of the two small fingers. He
had taken the precaution to take off the
caps to prevent accident, but enough of
the material from the cap seems to have
remained to cause explosion. Young
Prouty served three years in the army
and fought many battles without
scratch.
