Mr. Benjamin Of WoIcott, says the post
Office route established by the department, is
from Worcester Corner to Morristown only
over the rest Of the route the mail is carried
by permit only
PLAINFIELD.-We give in our election re-
turns the vote in Plainfeld for the State tick
ct. and it will be seen the Democr ats had a
majority. This was owing. however, to the
fact that there were no printed Republican
votes at the polls, the package sent to Plain
field having failed to reach the town house.
The election of Democratic town reprcsen-
tative was the result Of division among the
Republicans. several candidates being in the
field and at last enough Republicans left the
meeting TO give the Democrats the election.
WEST FAIRLEE.-This town. the home Of
Gen. Thomas, has done more than well this
year, electing a Republican representative
and giving thirty majority for Page Last
year it was tied on the governor vote, and
elected a Democratic reI Preventative.
CHrTTENDEN CoUNTY.-The regular Re
publican county discriminating Hon. L.
B. Englesby for States Attorney-was
elected in Chittenden County, Mr.. Hard for
Senator, and Mr. Englesby for States Attor

Attorney, and one candidate for Senator

rest of the ticket. The vote between Mr.
Adams and Mr.. Hard would have been very
close. if all the Democrats had voted their
own ticket.
VERMONT ScESERY.-To Mr.. A. F. Styles,

beautiful stereoscopic views, of scenery in va
rious parts of this State. The catalogue

LYNDON This town is among the few that
show better Republican standing this year
than last. 5. S. Thompson. Esq, who was
elected by very small majority last year, on
the second or third ballot we believe, was
this wear chosen by thirty-seven majority on
the first ballot. Last year Gov. Dillingham;
had seven majority in the town, and this
year Mr.. Page has forty-three majority
This is handsome gain, and that in spite
