The Fire in Rutland

Proves to have been fully as disastrous as
was at first reported to us the loss footing up
considerably more than $4,000, upon which
there was surprisingly small insurance
The fire appears to have caught from the
explosion OF Kerosene lamp in the bar room
Of the franklin House. and the house was
well wrapped in flames before the engines
were got to work On the South side the
flames soon spread to Mrs Townscnd's block
occupied by w. II. b. Owen, thence to Dr.
Ross block recently occupied by Chaiicc a
IIarger, when the fire in this direction was
stopped by a free application of wet blankets,
kept well saturated with water. upon the
dwelling of DR.. Ross On the North side,
the fire spread to the County Court House,
and thence to the building owned by r. h.
Thrall and occupied by W. G. Stafford as a
stove and tin shop, whore it was stayed. In
the rear, the Franklin House barns and
large barn owned by DR.. Ross were consumed.
The destruction of the above buildings was
total, and had it not been for the fact that not
a breath of air was stirring the fire must have
proved very much more disastrous than it did.
The following lst of losses aud insurance
so far a. had been a.certamcd We copy from

The yicc-Presidency at Washington

Perley of the Boston Journal telegraph.
ed yesterday Of the yice-presidentia prospect
at Washington -
There are prominent New York Union men
who say that the name of GOV Fenton on tht
ticket would insure its defeat in that state.
Nor would the political feuds among the re-
pubicans of Pennsylvania be healed by the
nomination Of Gov Curtin. Other gentlemen
spoken Of have local popularity, but it is con-
coded here that the contest at Chicago will be
between Mes rs. Wilson of Massachusetts, COZ
fax Of Indiana, and Wade of Ohio Gen.
Wilson's well-earned claims to this recognition
OF his political services need not be enumera'
ted in New England, and he is recognized BY
the boys in blue throughout the Union a.
having been their friend when they needed
friends. He was che of the first men to adyo'
cate the election Of Gen Grant and he ha'
always enjoyed that great captains Friendship
and confidence Mr.. Colfax was, until recent
y, presented by his friends as the most avail
able candidate for the presidential chair, and
many regard him as the best man to be plac
ed on the ticket with Gen. Grant. But II
seems hardly fair that both the candidate
should be taken from sister states. Mr.. WADE
had not the slightest show for the nominaioD
as the candidate for vice-prcsident until aileI
the impeachment of Johnson and now he dee,
not possess one-half of the strength claimed
by Office seekers. In short, if Henry Wilson
receives the support of New England, 70
which he is entitled, he will be nominated ana
elected. Grant and Wilson will be a glorlor

The Methodist Church.

The Neio Englam Conference of this body
has been in session for several days in Boston
and some of it. proceedings have been of the
highest importance A thorough discussion
Of the subject of admitting Misrepresentation
into their conferences has been had, but with
no definite decision, at latest accounts. How
ever long the question may be deferred, the
fnal result cannot be doubtful, under the en-
lightcned aud progressive spirit of Christian
activity Resolutions were unanimously passed
in favor of impeachment and the prohihiiory
liquor law. After a spirited debate, it was
resolved by large majority that the Com
ference favored the introduction of colorcd
pastors in ita jurisdiction and their appoint
mcnts to its churches whenever invited or
recommended by the quarterly conferences.
These questions to some extent, will doubt
les, come before the Vermont Conference at
Swanton next week
The next General Coniercnce--which will
be- we believe the quadremiaI meeting Of the
body-will be held at Chicago in May, prob
ably lasting some three weeks, and promising
to be Of unusual interest The question of
Misrepresentation will there be prominent
