A Democrat of this County writes that his party
cannot have a Senator Of their own choice. and
therefore he thinks it best for them to take the
next best man. As between Messrs Morrill, and
Poland, he thinks Morrill, entitled to the place on
The score Of fair play and fair wages for services
rendered; and moreover he thinks it best to give
it to him to keep Mr.. Poland from being badly
chawed up" We call that kind to both candi-
dates.

Mrs. Eliza Davis, OF Holland, Vt. has a crab
apple tree which this year produced a large white
rose. One of our crab-apple trees produced, last
year, crop Of genuine large sour apples, and is
doing the same thing this year. The crab has
gone, leaving an apple tree. Cause last year we

AID FOR PORTLAND Very many towns and
cities throughout the United States are raising and
have already forwarded contributions in aid of the
sufferers by the recent fire at Portland At the
closing of the subscription list in Boston, on Sat
urday afternoon last, over $4,000 bad been sub
scrbed, and ii is probable that the list will be re,
/ opened this week. Relief has also been rendered
from New York, Philadelphia, Providence, r. |
Salem Mass, Biddelord, Me-, and other places.
In the New Hampshire Legislature, the House
voted $4,000 for the sufferers, but the Senate de-
ieated the appropriation. What will Vermont do
in this most truly humane work Surely she will
not be behind her sister States in assisting the
sufferers by this sad calamity. 1t is gratifying to
note the alacrity with which the Insurance Gonna
MES interested in this fire have met their liabilities
NOT waiting the expiration of the sixty days al
lowed them by their policies, but paying immedi-
ately the claims presented.
