Saginaw, since our first visit to this grow
ing city. As we pass through Jefferson,
Washington and Genesee streets, every
where appear evidence of thrift and steady
growth.
The number Of new residences is large,
and some of them of great cost. There
is now in process of erection, a fine Luz

credit to the city, The Congregational
church was built and dedicated last year
only the spire remains incomplete. 1t
is very long, of the massive composite Or

The Methodist E.Church, then in process

heavy buttresses, and towers at the corners,
with graceful spire, $50 feet in height.
The spire and roof are covered with Ver>

was then read, as follows: One delegate
to each town, and one additional delegate
for each fifty votes cast, or fraction over

SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT Pom
HENRY n. Y,-The Free Press has the
following particulars of sad and fatal
accident which occurred at Port Henry
on Wednesday afternoon of last week :
Rev, c. Ransom, formerly of that place,
but now stationed at Wadham's Mills, N,
Y, accompanied by his wife, were in
town on a visit to their son-in,law and
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs Tobey, and other
friends, and had started on their return
home in buggy, at the time of the sad
occurrence. They had driven but short
distance from Mr., Tobey's residence, when,
in going down the hill leading from the
Post Office TO Pease's Hotel, their horse
became frightened and manageable and
dashed on at furious speed. When op-
posite the residence Of j. B. Spencer, Mrs
Ransom was thlown from the buggy,
against telegraph pole, which she struck
head foremost, killing her almost instantly.
A moment later her husband was thrown
oot, striking on the ground with much
force, cutting his head and face in several
places, breaking his leg jus. below the
knee, and in6icting other injuries which
it is feared he cannot survive. NJ. and
Mrs. Ransom were well known christian
people, and had large circle Of friends
and acquaintance who sincerely sorrow
over this sad affair.

We give elsewhere, the official report of
our County Convention. Considering the
unpleasant weather and bad roads the
Convention was large one, and the
County well represented.
The Convention was harmonious in its
action, and the results are cordially ac-
cepted by the people, so far as we know.
All the County officers Of last year are
renomnated, with but three changes.
Under the two years rule, Hon. John NJ.
Dyer, retires from the Senate where he
has served two years TO the general salts.
faction Of the people and with credit TO
himself. Hon. Rolin j, Jones, OF Corn>
wall, was nominated to succeed him, by
the unusual, but merited compliment Of
vote BY reclamation, Mr.. Jones was a
member of the House in 1919, 1850,
1867 and 1868, and in the Senate, in
1854. During his service in the
Legislature, he was always on important
committees, several times and under try
ing circumstances, Chairman. He ac-
quilted himself with honor to himself and
his constituents.
Hon. Samuel E. Cooke, of Weybridge,
was nominated, with great unanimity,
to succeed Hon, c. G. Tilden, deceased,
as Judge of Probate for the District OF
Addison. Judge Cooke has been mem,
Der of the State Legislature, two years
Assistant Judge of the County Court, and
was, last Fall, appointed by the Governor
to fill the office of Judge of Probate, made
vacant by the death Of Judge Tilden.-
The unanimity of the Convention in his
nomination to this office, shows with what
acceptance he has discharged the duties
Imposed upon him, hitherto
After the able and acceptable manner
with which Hon. James NJ. Slade has
filled the office Of Assistant Judge, the
past two years, some ofthe people were
inclined to waive the two years rule, and
renominate him, but the desire of the ma
jority of the people to adhere to it,becom'
ing manifest, Judge Shades friends grace
fully submitted, and Mr.. Joseph X Ferrt
of Bridport was put in nomination,
Though Mr., Ferre is not so we'll known il
the county as the other gentlemen named
there can be no doubt but that he will
fill the office, to the entire satisfaction o.
the people, and they will express theil
approval of his nomination, by round ma
jorities at the election
The entire ticket is good one and will
command the earnest support Of every
Republican in the County.

Another Of the brave sons Of Middles

of his early manhood and when the bright

seemed opening the way to honor and
fame.
On Monday morning the 2lst ms, the

sad circumstances and cause of his
death.
He met his fate, we doubt not, calmly
and with that courage which the raging
element and the battle roar could not
blanch, Among thefrst of the victims
to the deadly pest, his loss will be deeply

several places. The demonstrations at
Bellows Falls and White River Junction

The Springfield Republican says: "The
Vermonters are certainly entitled to a visit
from Mr.. Colfax, and to the liberty Of
breaking in upon the privacy ofhis tour
with brass band if they choose to, for he
was their early and first choice for Vice.

Chicago, Vermont 'cast her five votes for
