THE WEArHER.--Many are of course
complaining Of the cold weather and the
backwardness of the season; ard when
We look away to the hills and see them
stall white with -snow, we confess that, at
first thought, it gives a chilly impression.
Many arc forebodipg famine. First war,
they say, then pestilence, then famine.
And we have venerable uncle in this
town. who has had the famine on the
brain" for about 80 years. who has never
suffered any other famine than that on
the brain. In the nearly 40 years we
have lived, we have experienced several
cold seasons but have never been deprived
of the promised seed time and harvest.
The accounts of the wheat and corn crop.
from the West and South are very favora-
bic, and do not look at all like famine.
All this wet weather has been favorable
for the grass crop, and wo have no doubt
that if our farmers SOW, in due season,
they will reap as usual.

The Convention al Stowe commenced
its session yesterday, and is to conclud
with Too Grand Concerts, Tbursda,
and Friday Ewes. The people of Stow,
are not in the habit of doing things by
halves, and we anticipate rare entertain'
ment Our people will have, at thes,
Concerts, good opportunity to compare
some of our native singing talent with EN-.
inent talent from abroad, and we hope
they will not fail to avail themselves Of
it. The fine Church where the Concerts
are to be given will accommodate large
audiences with comfort and we are in.
formed that music sounds splendidly in
it.
N. B. Since the above was written,
VIC visited Stowe, and spent most of the
6rst day there with the convention. We
found all the promised talent present.
and the machine in successful running or
der. The gentlemen engaged to conduct
this Convention are popular, and, forming
our judgment from what we saw of them
yesterday, they .0eH deserve their popular
ity. The senior Perkins is ,oide a,Oake
conductor, and accomp!ishes in a few
hours what many who are called good
teachers require many days to dc. We
have not time before going to press to-day
to say what We would wish but we feel
justified in saying that this Convention
is rare opportunity to the musicians of
't this county and to the public in gen.
eral, that the Concerts on Thursday and
Friday Ewes. will afford them the richest
-eat of the Season. The Messrs. Perkins
md Mr.. Leach are not merely directors,
tut vocalists of a high order; and have
he assistance of Miss Jennie Reyes, popu-
ar throughout New England an a soprano,
eside the best talent in our own county.
Idvance sheets of the Profs. Perkins new
ook, 1.-The Church Bell" were used

lie May flowers. No musician in our
'uuty. who desires to keep posted. can ,
ford to lose the benefits of this Conven.

GOVERNOR.

The Burlington Times announces thai
the question of who shall be Gov. is set
tied by the withdrawal of Hon. John W.
Stewart from the field. Several of our
readers will recollect that we have spoken
of the surrender of Mr.. Stewart as not an
improbable contingency. We very we'll
knew that a great pressure would be
brought to bear upon him, and our hope
was quite faint that be would resist it.
But does THIS withdrawal of one or two
men, neither of whom were favoritcs, as
we believe, with any great number of the
people Of the State at large, in any man
ner strengthen the claims of the other ?
Are we thereby deprived of our free
choice? If so, good citizens of Lamoille, /
recommend you to stay quietly at your
homes and not give yourselves the troub-
]e in this busy season of the year, to post
to Montpelier simply to give your formal
consent to arrangements you have had
and will have no voice in making. Is it
right and just, that the good people of
this State should be called to Montpelier.
to ratify the proceedings of this truck
dickeriug cabal. If Page is already
Governor of Vermont, we quietly await
his first pious proclamation. And if the
Times editor is to go on his staff, with
the rank of Gen., we salute him as we are
in duty bound our military superiors
Give us the full programme, Mr. Times,
and let us know at once what happy
people VIC are How little labor and de.
liberation we are called upon to exercise
in the choice Of our rulers. What pleas
ure it is to attend our annual State Con-
ventions, and find ourselves relieved of
all trouble and responsibility in the little
matter of choosing oficersl A few gener-
GUS and disinterested philaDthropists. who
always know just what the people want,
have graciously arranged every detail,
and we have nothing left to do but to
settle our bills at the hotel always mod
