Tue VA1spmrrouu MURDER TRIAL
The famous Vandepool trial-the cause
cele5re of Michigan-has reached, says the
Detroit Tribune of November 21, just
such determination as has been antici-
pated, that is, the jury has disagreed,
there being only a IN, jority of two in fa-
vor of his conviction. AS our readers are
aware, this is the second trial, the first,
which took place in Mainstee, last Febru-
ary, having resulted in his conviction.
The trial at Kalamazoo has taken place
there in consequence of q charge of venue.
The case was called October 12, but ad
journed until the 10Th, when the exami
nation of witnesses began. From first to
last one hundred and eight witnesses have
been examined, and the case has been
contested at every point with marked
skill and most tenacious vigor, by
distinguished counsel on both sides.
The policy of the defence, however, seems
to have been to utterly confuse the case
by such mass of testimony involving de-
tails innpmerable, and so many contra
dictions, that the agreement of any twelve
men in regard to it would be impossible.
If this was the design, it has succeeded
completely. The prevailing opinion in
this community, where the evidence and
pleas of counsel have been widely read and
where such interest has been felt in the
case, has been that Vanderpool is guilty.
The two trials of this case--the last one
extending over just a month-must have
cost about $4,000. We apprehend that
this will be the last trial Of the case, and
that evantnally Vanderpool. who haszax
hibited amazing nerve throughout his
most trying ordeal, will be released. If
innocent, his hardship an d persecution
have scarcely parallel.

NEW HAMPSHIRE PoIITICs.-At the
Congressional Convention in the first New
Hampshire district, yesterday, there were
four ballots for Republican candidate,
and on the final one the friends of Mr..
Ella, the present member, and Mr.. Gordon,
united upon William b. Small of New
Market, a respectable iawyer who has not
been much in political life, and nominat-
ed him by 129 votes to 112 for Samuel M.
Wheeler of Dover. On the first ballot
Gordon bad rs, Wheeler "a, Ella 66, and
Small 16. The highest vote for Gordon
was S5 out of 244 The nomination, with
out being a strong one, will probably
unite the Republicans of the district.
John P. Hale addressed the convention,
and was warmly received by his old con-
stituents, who have not forgotten, in the
events of his latter life, hls fidelity to
them quarter of century ago.

A STRANGE UsE.-The city of Wor

disposition of two of her cemeteries. She
has covered them two feet deep to put
schooI-houses and Fairgrounds on. Prob
able, though it is not STATED, the dead
were mostly all removed to some new
cemetery for it is hardly conceivable that
public opinion in any New England town
would allow graves and all TO be so COW

suffered to play over the concealed graves

CONDITION OF THE RED RIVER
CoUNTRY.--The Montreal Gazette depres
GATES the rudeness of the Red River peo-

der will have been inaugurated which
will make the civilization and settlement

solely to those troops, have reigned su-

make report in season for final action,

that Mr. Summer and other opponents
of the annexation will not object to inves-
tigation by commission. All that they
ask is that it shall be composed of persons
uncommitted one way or the other. There
is, therefore, prospect that the first step
in the matter will be taken without seri-
GUS opposition. Few persons, however,
believe that it will be possible in this Com
