Vermont state Convention.

The convention Of delegates to choose dele
gates At large to represent Vermont in the Na-
tional Republican Convention at Chicago on the
26th Of May next assembled at Rutland March
18th at II O'Clock, in the Town Hall. Hon Geo
" Grandey, chairman Of the State Committee,
called the Convention to order and the call was
read BY c. g. Benedict, Secretary. Gen Peter
T. WAsnBrRN of Woodstock was nominated for
temporary chairman. and G. G. Benedict of
Burlington, fer temporary Secretary; and unan-
imousy elected Gen WAsnBURS on taking
the chair, said
GENTLEMEN Two weeks ago an earnest, de-
vout clergyman Of Woodstock prayed thus
ooh Lord, wilt Thou remember him whom we
are compelled to call our President and either
cause that the evil spirit by which he is con-
trolled, be exercised or that he be elected from
his seat The process of exercising that evil
spirit has been tried and failed, and nothing now
remains except to hope that the remaining part
Of the PRAYER be fulfilled and the seat vacated.
For the purpose of aiding and securing the ad-
vantages which were gained by the sacrifices Of
men and money made for their attainment, now
in hazard Of being lost through the treachery to
his party and to his principles of him who holds
the executive chair, and of making effective pro
vision that such treachery shall not be repeated,
the people Of Vermont have assembled here by
their delegates trust that their action may
be rendered effective by the selection Of gentle
men AZ delegate. to the National Convention Of

IW-0.S.DER WHY:

wonder why when wild winds cry,
And rain drips from the caves,
Aud before the rising tempest hy
The last few fluttering leaves,
There bursts tune of merry June
Upon my inner ear
Warm odors pass through the rich deep grass
And the blackbird Whistles clear!
Iwonder why
/ wonder why when the night winds sigh
And the city rests in shade,
And its living souls in slumber lie,
And the glare and tumult fade,
Far from the town on the covered down,
With short, fine grass to tread,
Mid gorse and gray stone wander alone,
And larks carol overhead!
l wonder why!
Do wonder why when you and
Are parted by many mile
And between us tireles streams go by,
Woods whisper and pastures smile
In whatever way, by night or day,
You come to eye or ear
You are no surprise to my gladdened eyes,
And the wonder of your song sing clear!
Do L wonder why!

PoLAND's WHITE PINE COMPOUND. - After
having given it a thorough trial. we can confidently
recommend Poland'S White Pine Compound as
very valuable article for the cure of colds coughs,
and pumonic complaints generally. In several
cases, we have known it to give prompt relief when
all other remedies which had been tried had failed.
1t is article, which, in climate so promotive OF
sudden and severe colds as is that of New England,
ought to be in every family; and we are sure that
those who obtain it, and give it fair trial, will
not thereafter be willing to be without it.
A VALUABLE MEDICINE. - DR.. POlanps Wbite
Pine Compound, advertised in our columns, is sue
cessful attempt to combine and apply the medicinal
virtues of the White Pine bark. 1t has been thor
oughly tested by people in this city and vicinity,
and the proprietor has testimonials to its value
from persons well known to our citizens. We rec
ommend its trial in all those cases of disease to
which it is adapted 1t is for sale by all drug
gists. - N. Y. Independent
The Fkite Pine Compound is now sold in every
