RATHER PERsoNAL.-Mr. William f.
Kettles, of Fall River, extensively known
as one Of the finest telegraph operators
In the country, and by many considered
as the champion telegrapher" was not
little amused by q fellow lightning
picker Of the Quaker City propounding
for his solution conundrum, to which
he gives publicity, Notwithstanding the
joke is at his own expense. He was
asked. Why Bridget in the kitchen is
the best telegrapher in the United
States?" and upon giving it up was
told that she was SO because she "wincd
out Kettles" To which reply Mr.. K.
could only Cjackulate personal but

VERMONT FARNRRs.-We give the fol-
lowing extract from an address by Rev,
T.S.Hubbard of Stockbridge, recently de.
livered before the Gaysville Library AS
ISOLATION. After enumerating various
special reasons why he would choose Yer
mont as State in which to till the soil
he says:
"Another reason why [ would choose
Vermont as a residence for 3 farmer ia
the soil needs improving by peraevering
and scientific measures, and it will be
more disciplinary to improve that, by
study and labor, than to leave it for one,
supposed to be rich enough for the crops
of one generation. The latter NAV be
easier Of cultivation but the mind can
never improve without that stimulus of
redeemiDg land worn and sterile, and
making it again as productive as in its
original state. We do not choose the
place requiring the most labor. but il
may be best for us, and in the end we
shall be bigger men, better farmers,
ADLER citizens than if we simply cave
the worn and sterile fields and HE TO
those that are new and rich"

A VETERAN POsTMAsTBR.-Mr A, VI,
Hawkins, the postmaster at Starksboro,
has probably held office longer than any
other postmaster in this State. Mr,
Hawkins received his first appointment

was re-appotnted in 1874, and removed
in l848; appointed again in 1850, and
has retained the office ever since.

time an exemplary member of the Method
'ist denomination, and is a practical observer
OF strict temperance rules. He Vainly fum-
bled amongst his clothes in search of the ne
cessary ticket. His patience (Which must
have been intinitessimaD being exhausted,
he stated he would go through the train, and
on returning must have the ticket or the
passengers fare. Returning Immediately
and finding no ticket, the old gentleman still
searching other portions of his dress, Nor
ton seized him by the collar, dragged him
to the door of the car, gave the bell-rope
signal to the engineer to stop, and thrust
him off into the inclement night and dismal
darkness. 1t SO happened, doubtless acci-
identally, that this was done in one of the
worst parts of the entire road, just near
the junction of the main trunk with the
Chicago branch of the Illinois Central rail-
road. Common humanity should have
prompted him to have selected some more
eligible spot for election, particularly as
the victim was very old and nearly blind.
Mr.. HOrner, thus cast off, fell down an en-
bankment some fifteen feet high. broke, as
was stated, his collar bone, lost his hat and
cane, and suffered other serious bruises and
injuries. After the train started he manag-
ed to crawl to the track and thence to the
nearest water station, where he was tender
ly, cared for by the keeper of the tank.
Soon after he was removed to Lebanon, and,
after long confinement, aided by a robust
consultation, recovered. For this violence
he brought suit, laying damages at $4,000.
After varied delays, the suit came on for
trial on the 22d instant, and, after patient
hearing, the jury rendered a verdict for
$1,000. 1t is said that the case will be taken
to the Supreme Court on questions reserved
by writ of error. - s ~.

A Verdict for $1,000 Against a
Railroad Company.
TFron1 the SpringfieId fTu } Ree;ster- March OF 7

IFrom the Springfield (Ill) Register, March 27.I
We mentioned yesterday the result of a
trial in the Marion county circuit court,
where damages to the amount of $1,000
were given party for being forcibly and
brutaliy elected from railroad car. The
circumstances disclosed in this case are of
interest to the public, and we briefly COM
pile them for publication. ~
In the fall of 1865, Mr.. Nathan Horner, a
respectable citizen of Lebanon, St. Clair
county, in this State, took passage from
Odin to go south, half way between that
place and Cairo, to visit daughter. Be-
fore starting, he purchased ticket at Odin,
and entered the Illinois Central railroad
train, and took a seat. 1t was now nearly
mfdAight, dark and inclement night.
Presently the conductor, a Mr.. Norton, en-
tered the car, calling for tickets. Mr.. Hor-
ner is 75 years old, and although other,
wise vigorous and in good health, has for.
many years been afflicted with imperfect
vision. This infirmity makes his manners
singular to a stranger, and the conductor
charged him with being intoxicated. This
was an error; the old gentleman is now
and has been for nearly an ordinary life

The City Election A Glorious
L Democratic Victory.

| We congratulate the Democracy of our
city and State upon the glorious victory
won by the Democrats of Cleveland yester-
day. The day was fine one, and the poll
of voters in all the Wards of the city was
unusually large. The election passed off
quietly and in good order. The Democrats
made gallant and noble fight, winning a
brilliant victory unprecedented in this city
or on the Western Reserve for many wears
The Democratic gain in the city is immense
|-trom twelve to thirteen hundred on the
election last fall. Stephen Buhrer. the
Democratic candidate for Mayor, is elected
by. majority ranging from four to five
hundred. The Democrats gained two
Councilmen-one in the Sixth, and one in
the Tenth Ward. The Republican maiori-
ties in both these Wards last fall were
heavy, but were successfully overcome by
the Democracy at the polls yesterday.
Great credit is due to our German fellow
citizens for the strong vote they polled yes-
terday tor the Democratic candidates. To
their eXertions, and untiripg activity and
vigilance, the Democracy of this CITY are
indebted, ina great measure, for the splen-
did success they achieved yesterday.
Our Irish fellow citizens also stood up
nobly, as usual, in the Democratic ranks
and to them should be accorded the highest
praise for their zeal and energy displayed
at the polls yesterday. =
| This great Democratic success, in city
that has been hitherto regarded as the
stronghold OF Radicalism, takes every one
by surprise. But it shows the direction in
which the popular current is setting, and
we can assure our Radical fellow citizens
that the revolutionary ball once set in mo-
tion, will never roll backward
The Democracy of Cleveland had to fight
the battle yesterday with all the odds in
favor of their political opponents. The
latter had the National, State, County and
CITY patronage in their hands, and ali the
influence that this patronage yields. This
mighty power and all the arts and devices
their opponents could bring to bear, the
Democrats of Cleveland had to conte nd

crowned with the laurel wreaths of victory.

others to draw. If there had been anything

Gen. Butler is man who stabs in the dark
In the war he hung one man, who was un-
armed, defenseless and wholly in his power,
without a trial or a semblance of one. He
imprisoned and tortured, under false pre-
texts, an army chaplain for not inventing,
or asserting when he had it invented for
him, false statement about brother Off
Ger. And he now seeks to infuse into the
public mind, by cowardly insinuations, an
infamous calumny against the President of
the United States. The country will treat
it and himlas both deserve.

Gen. Batler seems to be an adept at SLAM

Senator Wade.

Suppose Senator Wade were called upon
to take some of the I" ironclad" oaths he is
enforcing upon others on pain of being dis
franchised, how would he respond? Could
the Senator, upon the Good Book, declare
that he had not, at any time, given aid, 4,
comfort, counsel or encouragement to men
who were meditatiug the breaking up of
the Union? Has the Presidentof the Sen
ate, and possible President of the United
States under the impeachment programme,
never averred that States had right to
leave the Union, and should not be forced
to remain in the Confederation In 1850,
in the Senate of the United States, Mr..
Wade declared, when alludinG to the then
threatened action of the Southern States ::
am not one of those who would ask
them to continue in such a Union. We
have adopted the old Declaration of Inde-
pendence as the basis of our political move
ments, which declares that men. when tn cir
government ceases to protect their rights
when it is SO subverted from the true pur-
poses of government as to Oppress them,
have the right to recur to fundamental
principles, and, if need be, to destroy the
government under which they live, and to
erect, on ITS ruins, another more conducive
to their welfare. hold that they have this
right, aoheneUer they think this contingency has
come.
g You can not forcibly hold men in this
Union; for the attempt to do so, it seems to
me, would subvert the first principle of the
government under which we live"
No one of the Southern champions of Sc
eessiOn ever declared his assent to that
dogma in palmer or more explicit language
than that uttered by Senator Wade. Was
he then not guilty, under the subsequent
ruling of both his party and himself, of
giving aid, comfort, counsel and encour-
agement to men who were meditating the
breaking up of the Union," and should he
not purge of that crime? Will some one
propose the 'ironclad" oath for Senator
wade? He certainly needs military re-

National Democratic Convention
Action of the DeTnOcr atic State
/ Central Committee OfIn6iaua


The Democratic State Central Committee
of Indiana, after full and free interchange
of views, has decided to coincide in the de-
termination of the National Democratic
Committee not to hold a National Demo-
cratic Convention until next year-hence
no steps will be taken to appoint delegates
to the Louisville Convention, called for
July next. The committee, with almost
entire unanimity, regard the action of the
National Committee as wise and sagacious.
and the members cannot see any special
object in holding a convention before the
usual time preceding presidential elections.
There is no difference of opinion among
Democrats and conservative citizens i'm re-
gard to the great questions before the coun
try, and consequently there is nothing to
be gained in assembling to adopt a plat
form, custom which would often be bet
ter in the breach than in the observance.
Whatever steps may be necessary to make
more efficient the organization of the party,
can be done through the agency of the
National Committee, for there the work
will have to be done, convention or no con-
vention. A revolution is evidently going
on in the public mind, and the best way is
aid. -
