Nor ALL.-The Rutland Independent
is the only paper out of five in Rut-
land County that hoists the name of G.
w. Willard, notwithstanding its untruth-
full assertion that the HERALD stands
alone.
BADLY INJURED. - Simeon Watson,
baggage master, was so badly injured at
Granville, on the morning freight and
passenger train from Salem, on the Rut-
land and Washington Railroad on Satur-
day, that he was left at Granville and
taken by special engine to Salem. We
are not appraised Of the extent Of his injur-
les or how they occurred.
TRoTTING-A trot took place over the
Rutland Park Course on Saturday be-
tween the chestnut gelding owned by
John Simonds of Brandon and the bay
gel3ing owned by DR.. Prime of the same
place. The race was for purse of 5000,
mile heats, best in 8, to harness. Three
heats were trotted, the first Of which was
declared dead" and no time taken. The
other two and the race were won by the
Smonds horse Time: 3013; 3.058.
Sandwiched in between heats of the
above was a trot for purse of $40 be-
tween the grey geldings owned respect
lively by John Engrem of this town and
Mr. Stiles of Pittsford. Terms same as
the other race, and the purse easily won
by the Engrem horse, who would have
distanced his competitor, were there a
distance" allowed. Time of winner,
325A; 3,17A.
HOME NEWsPAPBRs.-Ast the readers

"spunk enough to travel beyond their ma
tive spot" and hence receive their paper
on the widespread prairie, or at the bust
ness points of the giant West, or else
where, in the trade marts of some Occi-
dental Eldorado, the local items furnish
food for mental observation and entertain
ment. 1t is like receiving a letter frem
home. Within few years newspaper
dom has changed very much in that re.
gard, and we are glad to contribute to the
Vermont press our full quota in the local
columns. ...,

THREE MEN KILLED BY A LIGHTNING
STROKE.-Oue of the saddest accidents
we have ever been called upon to record
occurred at Freeport, Pa, on Monday
afternoon, between and o'clock. We
learn that Mr.. Goering, his three sons,
and the manager of cemetery, named
John Goering, had visited cemetery in
the locality referred to for the purpose of
selecting burial lot, a son of Mr.. Goer-
ing having died but few hours before.
While on their way to the cemetery a
sudden fash of lightning darted from the
heavens, striking Louis Goering and
Jacobs Goering and William Hines, the
sexton, killing them instantly. Strange
TO saw. several persons who were accom-
D .nying the deceased were provided with
umbrellas, and escaped, while those not
under cover of an umbrella were killed.

The heroic defence of this latter city
recalls the protracted siege and sufferings
of the former. Provisions are growing
scarce. The people are already starving,
says the report, and are compelled to live
in their cellars to avoid the constant fire
of the besiegers. Unless relieved from
the outside, of course this unequal strug-
gle cannot be maintained more than a
few days longer. But if surrender they
must to the demands of starvation, the
defence will be ohronicled as one of the
most heroic in history.

The CHARACTERISTIC OF CHRISTI
LITER. H. Howard says: '|What Was
the characteristic feature of Chrjst's early
life? ?" Was it not going about doing
good Does it not therefore, necessarily
follow that we shall be holy in proportion
as we yearn to be useful, TO be of service
to others, to be good for something? Here,
then, we have the highest test of holiness.
What? A certain ecstatio tumult OF soul?
No. For all know a man may have this,
and yet it may never have occurred to
him that he was born into the kingdom of
God, not indeed merely to get happy and
go to heaven, but to help somebody to
make somebody better.

THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.-Peopie OF

cannot help feeling sorry for the Prince
Imperial, who "a kept dancing about from
pillar to post in rder to be out of range
of the enemy's guns, and with line OF
retreat open in case that necessity arises,
Boys of fourteen are not proper subjects

WAS THERE A CONVENTION I'VE
Judge from the statement of the I9depe716-
elet that there was no District Convention.
It SAYS, aThe friends of Mr.. Willard lis
tened patiently to this MAS of conflicting
testimony, referring to the testimony in
the Bennington contested election,) and
then voted as they judged the facts given
demanded" We are led to suppose from
this only the friends of Mr.. Willard were
present, and that the convention bad
nothing to do with this testimony. The
question arises whether anybody had
any rights at Middlebury except Mr..
Wizards friends. We judge from the
independents statement there was no
convention. Sure enough there was no
convention that made regular nomina-
ton. Why such howl then about the
regular candidate. Why did one of Mr..
Wizards distinguished friends go over to
MIR. Parks seat in the convention, and say
to him, s'This is disgraceful affair. Your
delegation ought to be admitted, but ]
must go with my county on this question :
Yes, go with his county, although he
knew he did SO against the facts and the
evidence in the case.

War Notes.

A new grand army, 100000 strong, is
said to be organizing at Lyons.
The celebrated municipal library of
Strasbourg. has been completely des royed
by the Prussian shells.
Earl Granville has received note
from Bismarck stating that England must
preserve her neutrality or take the conse-
quences.
The war fever in Ireland continues
intense. Large sums are being raised for
the relief of the sick and wounded ir the
French army.
The "sick" emperor of France seems
as tenacious of life as the "sick man of
the Mediterranean" the papers have kill
ed him q dozen times, but she still lives"
The old provinces of Alsace and LOr-
raine have been divided into departments.
The province of Alsace comprises the De-
partnents of Bas Rhine and Haut Rhine !;
Lorraine, those Of Moselle, Muerthe, and
Vosges
The cathedral of Strasburg, the beauty
and grandeur of which have made it the
admiration of all Christendom, and which
in it's perfection has been a monument of
art, while in its ruins remain a monument
of Prussian vandalism.
The injury which is being done to
the commerce of the North German States
by the French blockade is incalculable.
This injury will not cease with the war,
as commerce once turned from its ordin-
airy channels but slowly returns.
Terrible as it is to see a country raw
aged by fire and sword and the fertile
plains reduced to deserts, yet never do the
noble qualities of great people shine out
so brightly as when thus tried. France
has more to excite our admiration in the
hour of defeat than in the hour of victory
The Alsatians in Paris we'll said that
to pour red-hot shot and petroleum bombs
into city of 100000 inhabitants, to burn
private property, destroy oathedrals, Ii
braries and museums, TO refuse to allow
women and children to leave, to force men
to work under the fire of their own
eountrymen, are hateful violations of the
laws of war, which must excite the indig-
nation of the civilized world.

NOT So The independent, in intro
duciDg the article of Mr.. r. v Marsh on
the District Convention at Middlebury,'
says: "The HERALD folks neglected to
publish if, and keeping it until they sup
posed it would be too late for publication
in our paper this week, returned it to the
writer on Friday afternoon"
This it not quite the truth. Mr.. Marsh
called upon the editor with his article,
and an hours conversation ensued No
promise was made to publish it. The ar
ticle was handed back to Mr. Marsh three
times As we have evidence, and he was re-
ferred to other parties, as the editor was
about leaving town. He knew the edi-
tor was about leaving, and did leave the
town and state On his return mailed
the communication to Mr. Marsh on Fri
day, and it was taken from the Rutland
post Office on that afternoon and publish
ed in the independent on Saturday. We
think Mr. Mnrsh left at the close of orr
interview with tho u.p~eA~.:-- - IL
article would not be published AS was
stated to him, we had no objection to a

the whole issue, under the guise of per-
sonal explanation.

The Dominion authorities, by way of re-

peal of the reciprocity treaty some time
ago forbade Americans from fishing in
Canadian waters, and American vessels
engaged in the fishing business from en-
tering the Canadian ports in the fishing
grounds. This upfriendly Legislation has
inflicted great hardship on our fishermen,
and has also seriously crippled the pros
perity of the Canadian sea coast towns.
The State Department has the matter
under consideration.

First it is charged that the opposition
are not fair minded honorable Republi-
cans, and that Mr.. Willard is regularly
nominated. This is a sweeping charge
to make, surely, that all those who do not
see fit to support the candidate of the
Middlebury Convention are not h0nora'
BILE fair minded Republicans. Have the
people no rights outside a convention,

the certainty of n considerably larger

probably not less than 100000 bales
