a. Next Tuesday is our state election
The frcemen Of Vermont are again called
upon to discharge the sacred duty of per-
forming their share in the administration
OF the government. No one has right
to stay away from tile polls. This is IL
duty as imperative as the duties we owe
TO our Maker. The great national ques-
tions now at issue render the obligations
if possible more imperative this year
than usual. The question whether
"my policy" is to prevail, or whether
loyal men shall rule the country, is to be
decided by the fall elections, Of which the
Vermont State Election is the first. Then
let the people rally en- mdSse and discharge
this duty

IHE SEAT or TIE ,FkNIAN WAR. - The
island of Campobello is a narrow piece Of
land stretching north and south, at the en-
trance to the Bay Of Fnndy, and at tie
mouth Of the river ST. Croix. which latter
for many miles forms the boundary line be-
tween the State Of Maine and the Province
Of New Brunswick The island is about 10
miles in length, and at its greatest width
measures probably 3 miles. tls indented
all along lie sides with numerous bays and
Inlets. One Of these. called HaTbor de Lutte,
almost divides it.
There ere on the island about 1900 PER-
sons. fishermen and their families. 1t was
named for SIR Archibald Campbell, govern
or of the Province about the time Of the
Revolution.
Campobello is the sccord in size Of all the
numerous islands at the mouth Of the Bay
of Fundy. Grand MaDan, which lies more
seaward, is the largest Quoddy Head, op-
pOsite the southern end OF the island, rises
high above all the surrounding land, and
would be. If well furnished with fortIfca-
tions, commanding and strong position

That this is to be their only point of opera
hons is not likely. Toronto dispatches of
yesterday say that information has been re-
eeived Of an intended attack on the Niagara
frontier, and that several companies OF Fe-
mans had left Chicago, ostensibly for Og-
densburgh.
a Washington dispatch says
/" Ii is stated that Sir Frederick Bruce, the
British Minister, has received information that

10 attack some point in the British Provinces,
and that serious remonstrsnces have been re-

The Portland Press, noticing the passage
OF Fenians through that city, says:
Z" What the programme is we do not pretend
to know. But to US these proceedings here look
very much like ''blInd'' If movement
eastward was in contemplation there would not
be such general and public exposure Of arms

there has been. Matters would be conducted
with more secrecy, and the men would be more

FATAL r. r. AccIDEYT.-A very serious
accident occurred on the Vermont Central
Road, early on Friday morning, near the
Williston station, resulting in the smashing
up of a train-the night train from Boston
the death OF one passenger, whose name
we have been unable 20 learn, the severe in
jury of Conductor G. c. Appleton, and the
injury in a slighter degree Of Mr.. V. B.
Shaw, of this place, and three other passen-
gers. We understand that the disaster was
occasioned BY the giving way OF culvertr
over which the timbers supporting the track
had in some way caught fire, and had near.
ly burned through. The engine passed ovei
in safety, but its weight broke the timber'
so that the tender fell through, and the
wreck Of the train followed.
Conductor Appleton was brought home III
helpless state on Friday. His injuries arr
to the processes of the vertebrae, and w
