Brandon and chartered last fall. He

- A distressing accident occurred to
VIM. H. Cobb of Middlebury on the
10 inst, while engaged in taking down
an old building. They were taking
down the timbers of the frame when a
sudden gustof wind blew the frame over,
the pins having been removed from the
lemons. The workmen saw the building
was falling, and all fed and escaped ex-
cept Mr.. Cobb, who was struck by tim
Der upon the head and shoulders, crush
ing him terribly and bending him up
double so that his head touched his feet.
He was taken up for dead, but soon
showed signs of life and recovered his
reason, but was found to be paralyzed
below his hips, and at last accounts some
feeling had come to his lower limbs, and
hopes of his recovery were entertained.

County Convention.

The Union republican County Con-
vention was held at Fayetteville on We'd
nesday. AS the convention was held on
an unusual day of the week, we are
without our usual full report, or only
such one as we have room for Thurs
day morning.
The convention was organized by the
election of Hon. William Harris of
Windham, as President, and Edgar w.
Stoddard of Townshend, and d. b. Sted-
man Of Brattleboro, as Secretaries
Hon. Royal Tyler of Brattleboro and
J. l.. Butterfeld of Grafton were elected
Vice Presidents.
The proceedings Of the Convention
were characterized by unusual harmony
throughout, every candidate being nom
mated by reclamation. With the ex-
ception of assistant Judges the old tick
ct was nominated entire as follows:
For Senators-David Goodell of Brat
tleboro, Hoyt II. Wheeler of Jamaica.
For Assistant Judges-E. T. Butter
field of Wilmington, Ormando S. How
ard Of Townshend.
For States Attorney-Charles q. Ar,
mold.
For Sheriff-S. N. Herrick of Brat
tleboro.
For High Bailif'-C C. Lynde.
For Probate Judges-Royall Tyler,
Marlboro District, Abishai Stoddard,
Westminster District.
The committee on resolutions were
Hon. r. w. Clark of Brattleboro, Joel
Holton of Jamaica, Alonzo Starkey of
Townshend, Nathan Fisher Of Westmin-
ster, E. T. Butterfeld of Wilmington.
Subsequently this committee, reported
endorsing the resolutions and ncmina-

County committee for the year ensuing,
as follows
John l.. Butterfeld Of Grafton, j. M.
Tyler Of Brattleboro, John Robertson of
Putney, j. L. Pierce Of South London
derry, N. L. Stetson of Jacksonville.
At the conclusion Of the business,
speeches were called for from the Vice
Presidents. Judge Tyler responded, and
Mr.. Butterfeld Of Grafton, in his response
briefly and humorously said that If he
could not make aspeech himself he would
do as they did in old wrestling times,
either go in himself or bring in man,
and thereupon called upon Hon. r. w.
Clark of Brattleboro, who addressed the
convention in strong speech in favor of
the Republican policy.

INCIDENTS. OF Mr.. RAYMoND.-The
death of Henry j. Raymond has brought
out many incidents of him as remark
able worker. In earlier days he was a
reporter, and had got up system of his
own which in those times was ahead of
any other. In this department he was
Jealous and in after life expressed regret
that railroads and telegraphs had so re-
duced the opportunities for gaining re-
portorial victories, and often related
Z" beat he gained for the Tribune in for
mer days. He, with various reporters of
rival journals, was sent to Boston to re-
port speech of Daniel Webster. The
other journals each sent two short-ha
reporters to work against Raymond.
He took his notes in the method which
he had invented, and the company re
turned by the night boat. But while
the others were enjoying themselves
Raymond was copying his notes in the
DdCh CdDlii, WHICH lldu D0eH tuTilSu lHbO
a printing office, and when the boat
reached the city the whole speech, sever
al columns long, was in type, ready to
be transferred to the presses, and by 6
o'clock the readers of the Tribune had
it before their eyes. The other papers
acknowledged themselves beaten and
never used their shorthand reports.
Another instance of Mr. Raymond's
working ability occurred on the occasion
of the death of Daniel Webster, states
man for whom he had the greatest admit
ration. The news of Mr. WIS death
reached N. Y. On Saturday afternoon
Mr.. Raymond wrote an admirable biog-
raphy, which appeared in Mondays pa
per, covering twenty-six columns of The
Times, and in addition he wrote three
columns of editorial on the same subject.
OF this extraordinary biography Mr..
RAYMOND wrote sixteen columns without
stopping moment for rest As feat
of editorial labor we doubt its ever hav-
ing been equaled.

The GREAT CONFLICT IN CAvENDIsHl
BY request of one of the counsel for
Mrs. Bent we publish elsewhere tother
side" In regard to the account given
by our correspondent, which we publish
ed last week, he says: "Bent may be q
quiet and inoffensive citizen, but the
proofs taken in court don't show it" The
various accounts we have seen of this af-
fair show great conflict of opinion as
we'll as shock of battle" Indeed, the
question has already been raised wheth-
err it had its equal even in the destruc-
ton of Jerusalem, for in the latter con-
flict it is not recorded that they used Ell
Their fire arms or hot water.
P.S The latest news from the fort "
represents things all quiet in Cavendish,
but an argument appears in the Rutland
Herald Thursday morning in favor of
Mr.. Bent, which indicates that by a de-
cree of the court, he had a right to the
occupancy of the store and counting
room for the present. On the whole it
appears to be one of those cases where
the one that speaks last, makes out his
case Let us have peace p

CAvENDIsH.-THE OTHER SIDE.-MR.
EDITOR The account in your last weeks
paper of an affair that recently happen
ed in this town between the members of
the Bent family, is very far from the
truth.
This affair is to be investigated as soon
as can be by Court and jury of disin-
terested men, who will not be swayed by
the passions of mob, and it is respect
fully asked that there be a suspension of
public judgment until that investigation
can be had. So far, when there has been
an impartial hearing, Mrs. Bent's claims
have been sustained, and it is claimed
that the holding of her and her children
to bail, was done in palpable violation of
law. Mrs Bent has clear title TO the
stone store and the right of possession,
and was in actual possession, when
mob, headed by her former husband, laid
siege to her house with axes, clubs, stones,
&C., for four hours; she and her children
kept off this mob as we'll as they could,
with words, protestations and mild means
at first. and more severe measures at last.
She claims to have done nothing but in
selfdefenee against this mob-but she
was overpowered. They readily obtained
bail, and ask fair investigation. She
did not forcibly take possession of her
own property-but when the intruder
was temporarily absent, fastened the
doors, and denied his right to re-enter.-
Mr.. Bent had applied to the Court of
chancery for the right to occupy the
whole of this stone store, and turn his
children out doors, but failed to obtain
any such grant of possession, and then
forcibly got into possession, and held it
against law and right, and as a mere
trespasser. This woman is entitled to a
fair hearing before being condemned, and
there is not the slightest danger of her or
her son getting into tight place.
FAIR PLAY.
