DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.-The
State Democratic Convention was held at
Montpelier, June II, large number of

every part of the State. The proceedings
were very harmonious. Homer w. Hea-
ton Of Montpelier, was nominated for gov
ernor, Hon. Morillo Noyes of Burlington,
was nominated for lieutenant governor,
and John M. Weeks was nominated for
treasurer. The following are the resolu-
tiOns adopted on that occasion:
Resolved, that the practical workings of
the general government as administered
by the opposition to the Democratic party
renews our zeal and love for the principles
of our party.
Resolved, That we are still in favor of 6
strict adherence to the constitution of the
United States as the safeguard of the States

ever, make no distinction between citizens
whether of native or of foreign birth: and
that we sympathize now, as ever, with men
OF all nationalities striving for self-govern
ment.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
present unequal system of taxation of the
general government, and to the corrup
and wasteful expenditures of the proceed,
Of such taxation.
Resolved, That we prefer system of
government in accordance with the princi
pies of the Democratic party rather thar
the present system of radical rule.
Resolved, That we will heartily supper
the nominees this daV made
This report was accepted and adopted
The convention was unusually harmonious
the speakers generally conceded that Their
was very little hope of the election of tn
nominees of the convention, but were de
sirous of going before the people with sucl
a ticket as would carry the largest posi-
BILE number of votes.

Republican State Convention

Our Republican State Convention was
held at Rutland on Wednesday last, over
three hundred delegates being present.
Hon. Heman Carpenter Of Mortified was
made president Of the convention, E. P.
Walton of Montpelier, Homer Z. Royce
of Berkshire and J B. WheelOck of Cow
entry, were elected vice presidents; Albert
Clark and A. n. Swain were chosen secre-
taries.
Gen. Peter T. Washburn was nominated
governor by large majority of the conyen-
ton, Hon Geo. w Hendee was nominated
for the office of lieutenant governor by a
majority nearly as great. The present in
cumbent, John A. Page, was nominated for
state treasurer by reclamation. OF the
candidates it will not be necessary for us
to speak We have more than once before
given our views respecting them, and we
believe our readers have pretty generally
endorsed our opinions. What we have said
may suffice. After the nominations were
made each Of the candidates appeared be-
fore the convention and accepted the trust
in speeches neat and brief.
R. G. Benton, from the committee on re-
solutions, reported the following which
were adopted unanimously:
Re8oiUed, That the Republican Union
party Of Vermont hereby re-affirm its adj
herence to the cardinal principles of the
party, and especially the exclusion of trail
tors from positions Of public trust, the
rights of impartial suffrage and the integ-
rity of the public credit.
ReSOhed, That we have full confidence
that the national administration will wise
ly and firmly protect the interests and dig
nifty Of the nation in respect to our Just
claims against Great Britain, and that in
our judgment we can afford to wait until
Her Majesty's government finds it for hen
interest to make settlement.
Res0lUed That we wholly approve the
principles and policy Of the administration
OF president Grant, and particularly com
mend that portion Of his inaugural address
wherein he declares: " | would protect the
law abiding citizen, whether Of native OF
foreign birth, wheresoever his rights are
JeOpardized or the flag Of our country
floats. | would protect the rights Of all
nations, demanding equal respect for oal
own"
Resolyed, That we cordially commend
the state ticket this day nominated, anC
pledge to its support such a majority a
shall show that Vermont will not step back
ward iii her republican course.
The following state committee was APP
pointed for the coming year Geo. A. Mer.
rill, H. G. Root, b. f. Fifeld, Stepher
Thomas, Prosper Merrill, Kittredge Has
kins, G. G. Benedict, Albert Clark and o
N. Elkins.
We were at the convention, having trav
eled almost to Massachusetts in a souther
lysdirection, and then westwardly, almos
to the boundary of New York to be there
because somebody 1--WE do not know who
thought Rutland so handy and easy to b
reached. Rutland may be handy to peopl
in the south part of the state, but it is de
cidedly unhandy to everybody else, and W
advise the State committee to call thei
next convention at some central point an
not compel one to travel the whole lengt
Of the State to nominate set of men tina
the people have already selected.

When it blows in Illinois it blows
hard. A man sitting in his house at
Shipman, eating pie, heard the storm
coming and ran to the door. The
gale first blew the house down and
then seized the man, carried hin
through the air a hundred yards or s,
and landed him in a peach tree Soon
afterwards a friendly board from his
own house came floating by. This he
seized and placed over his head te
protect himself from the raging blast
Under this shelter he finished his pie
The above is related as veritable
occurrence.

When Prof. Webster confessed to
its minutest details the murder Of his
friend DR.. George Parkman, in the
Boston medical college, nearly 20
years ago, and remorsefully besought
forgiveness OF Parkmans brother one
might have felt t0lerably sure, not on
ly that the thing was so, but that it
would never be contradicted. But that
unexpected contradiction has come.
One Thomas Barrett, who signs htm-
self zone of the jury, and there
really was juror of that name on the
case,-has written to the New Or
leans Times a letter Of self-accusation.
He declares that he murdered Dr.
Parkman, that he disposped Of the
body and it never was found, that Prof
Webster was entirely innocent, and
that he, Barrett, after long struggle
with himself, relieves himself of "this
terrible incubus" He alludes to the
remains scattered about the medical
college in lS49 as corresponding in
many respects to those Of the missing
man" Whether Thomas Barrett is
an alias assumed to start a sensation
or whether he is the juror Barrett
gone crazy in this queer way, await;
further revelation which perhaps we
shall never get.

The following, from the Troy Times
so capitally hits the case Of several in
this section, that we publish it:
Whose boy is that? He may be
seen any day, in almost any part of
the tOwn-he never makes room for
you on the sidewalk. looks at you sau-
oily, and swears smartIy if asked any
thing-he is very impudent, and often
vulgar to women who pass-he de-
lights in frightening and sometimes
does injury to little boys and girls
he lounges at the street corners
and is the first arrival at dog fight
or any other sort of scrape-he
crowds into the entrance to public halls
IN the evening, and multiplies himself
and his antics at such a rate that PEG
pie having legitimate business there
are crowded out-he thinks himseI
very sharp, he is certainly very noisy
he can smoke and chew tobacco
now and then, and rip out an oath al
most any time-we ask whose boy be
Is ? Look after him, mother, keep hin
more at home, train him, and you may
have son to be proud of some day.

A mad dog recently bit two chill.
dren-a boy of seven years and girl
Of four-in Milford, Wis, and the pa
rents were informed by attending
physicians that the only possible way
for the children to escape the agonies
of hydrophobia would be to take their
lives. Incredible as it may seem, they
administered an opiate to the boy and
bled him to death, and the girl was
smothered in a feather bed.

some repairs on the drum wheel of his

some repairs on the drum wheel of his
mill on Monday week. As the same
wheel and gearing supplied wheel
wright shop adjoining, he stepped in
to that shop to inform the occupants
of his intention, but finding them ab-
sent, he proceeded to work, and got
into the drum to repair it. The occu-
pants of the wheelwright shop came
in and started the wheel. The mo-
ment Mr.. Hadley heard the gate start,
he ducked his head and halloed.-
Above and below the drum are sta
tionary beams, over which the arms
OF the drum play, operating like a
pair of shears. OF course he must
confine his body and limbs inside these
or have them cut off and to escape
from the drum he must go through
these arms playing like the spokes
to wheel. Eight or ten feet below
the drum was the wheel with only a
cross bar of small timber between.
After being carried round in the drum
several times, he fell through and
struck On this cross beam. As he
fell his knee caught in the gearing and
was badly squeezed, but it did not
draw him in and crush him as there
was thousand chances it would. We
do not know as we have given you a
clear idea of his peril, as we could moi
understand it without viewing the
places; but we assure you that a view
of the situation would lead you tt
wonder how possibly one could escape
a horrid death. His injuries were
only slight; but as he pointed out tt
US and explained his position, we coulC
appreciate the lervor of his thanksgiv
ing for his deliverance.-N eoUsdealer.

Last week two carloads of apos-
tates from the mormon church left
Utah for the East, purposing never to
return. The party had been gather
ing for some time, and swelled during
one or two periods of delay. Some
of the number were early settlers of
Utah. They promise to make some
startling revelations.

| NEW DIsCOvERY.-The Barton Stand
ard, in an article about the discharging of
half dozen hands by the Passumpsic Rail
road Company, in consequence OF lntem-
perate habits, intimates that there Is little
room to doubt that Grants drunkenness
cost us much of the terrible slaughter at
Pittsburgh Landing. The Standard sup
ported Grant cheerfully last year, and we
have no recollection of ever seeing any
thing in it about Grants drunkenness be-
fore. We can hardly account for this new
discovery, unless it be that our Barton
neighbor is practicing with the intention
of being the hero of his next skunk item. y

be Something new" in the latitude of
Richford, where, in the matter of news,
their paper is about as valuable as a last
years almanac; but where people are not
obliged to depend upon such fossilized We

tale" Instead of its being a 'new discov-
cry we but repeated a rumor that was eur
rent at the time of that battle, and Occa-
sionally for months afterward. We did
support Grant cheerfully last year" and
do so now, and there is no good reason why
we should have done otherwise. He aoaS

stood that the stock bought at Albany this week

at better prices than last Tuesday. The lot of
cattle sold today from ]. P. Wisers distillery in
Prescott, Canada, the owner said, were about as
good those sold last June at IA TO l5c per Id.

of sales OF some $50 head, the number which he

smaller proportion has been sent to this market
the local trade having furnished much better
