The One DEMOCRAT OF GosHEN.-The
town Of Goshen, Addison county, Vermont,
has one solitary Democratic voter, who for
years has stood alone in his glory. At the
last election his one ballot was deposited
against sixty-three for Page. This year
VIM. Contant, the Republican canvasser
called to find how he intended to vote. He
replied " You may put me down as doubt
full this time" On mentioning the fact to
some Republicans at the hotel afterward, the
latter told the canyasser that they were
sorry Barnes was doubtful; they wanted him
for the am basement of the thing to record his
solitary vote again for Edwards, and then
come over at the Presidential election. Con-
tant thereupon returned to Barnes and ad
vised him not to be recorded as doubtful, but
to vote as he had done before in the State
elections. The latter hesitated moment
and then replied, Very well, | guess l will
do so, but old nick himself can't keep me
from voting for Grant and Colfax in Novem-
ber." His vote was deposited for Edwards,
while Page received eighty-four ballots in
the township, an increase of twenty-one.

The Vermont Election.

The election in Vermont has opened the
eyes of the New. York Herald to the vitality
OF the republican party. Its optics had been
partially blinded by fictitious show ofdemo-
cratic strength as evidenced in the uncontested
Kentucky election. In the immense vote and
gratifying majority in Vermont it discovers
signs of veritable reaction, and is led to
remark -
"The Vermont election Of Tuesday last was
as much trial before the people Of the
strength of Grant and Cofax on the one side
and Seymour and Blair on the other as if they
had been directly voted for; and the result
from our observations on these preliminary
local elections of many years, indicates the
drift Of the popular tide throughout the coun.
try on the main question.
We are prepared for similar result il
Maine, some nine days hence, and for cores
pondng republican successes in the October
State elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana. In the event of such successes nc
doubt will remain as to the result Of the
presidential issue in November The election
Of 1868 will be substantially the election OF
1864 over again, and the successes Of Gram
in his first heat may be even more decisive il
the general result than that of Lincoln in hi,
second election"

MORE SUPERsrrrroN.-The Barton Stand
ard says that some four weeks ago gentle
man from New York. went to the Mountain
House, on Lake Memphremagog, kept by Jen-
nings, and while there had the misfortune to
be badly bitten in the foot by jennings dog,
famous for his size and as a pilot for visitors
to Owls Head. Some ten days after he re-
turned, and about week ago, he wrote to a
friend in Barton that his foot was worse, and
that his physicians said the dog must be kill
ed or he would lose his leg, and told him to
have the dog killed, "cost what it might"
So his friends went down the lake. and pois-
oned the dog last Thursday 1t was valua-
bic animal and was presented to Jennings by
Gen Hooker. The Standard well asks
" Now the question is will Kimball's foot got
well any sooner for the death of the dog

Unparalleled Railroad Progress.

The Pacific Railroad hastens toward com.
pletion. No peaceful enterprise of ancient
or modern times was ever prosecuted with such
energy and persistence. The two mountain
ranges Of the Continent have been successful
ly crossed, and within year we shall have
unbroken communication between New York
and San Francisco. At the latest dates there
remained only gap of 500 miles between
the Eastern and Western portions The line
is being extended from both directions as fast
as labor and means can grade and lay the
track, the Central Pacific Company having
put down six miles in a single day. By the
close OF this year, it is thought the gap can
be reduced to less than 300 miles, possibly
to less than 200.
Thus far, the Central Pacific Company have
sold their own First Mortgage Bonds, as fast,
or faster than they received the correspond
ing U. ). Bonds on the road built, and in
some cases it has been necessary to issue Ger.
tlhcates calling for the former, as soon as the
Company could deliver them. 1t is not i'm.
probable, therefore, that the whole of their
First Mortgage Loan will be disposed of be.
fore the through connection is made, and per.
haps before January next The advantages
OF these Bonds, as well as much information
concerning the Road, is set forth in our ad.
yertising columns of this issue.
