Mr.. Inman, one of the proprietors OF tho
Liverpool, Philadelphia and New York line OF
steamships, commonly known as the Inman line
publishes a letter in which he expresses his
disbelief that the steamer City of Boston
fouudered in a gale. He SAYS the City of Boston
and the City Of Antwerp were twin boats, and
they both encountered the same gale, the latter
without damage or serious difficulty. All
things considered, he thinks the Boston colided

From Mississippi, we learn that the eolored
people there work generally for a share OF the
crop. The usual arrangement is about as tol-
lows: If the planter furnishes horses, tools,
~ra,ioas. etc., the laborer receives an average OF
I of the crop. If the laborer furnishes horses
or mules or tools and receives rations etc., he
receives J of the crop. If the laborer furnishes
himself tools, ~rations, horses aud mules he re
ceives 7 of the crop. These are the general
rules, but of course there are many exceptions:
On the whole the colored people in Mississippi
are doing we'll, and some are buying land.

virginia Politics.

A State Convention was held by the
Republicans of Virginia at Richmond
last week. to elect a chairman and secre-
tarv Of the State Committee and lay out
q plan for the Congressional campaign.
And it is gratifying to know that such is
the fact for the interests In that State,
little appearance of the quarrels that have
distracted the party was apparent, but all
seem to act in harmony, led on by Cover
nor Wells. He was made chairman Of
the Convention, and also chairman of the
State Central Committee. Resolutions
were adopted affirming that Congress and
President Grant have redeemed their
promises to the people as the reduction OF
the public debt and the general prosperity
of the country indicate; that no true Re-
publicans of Virginia have affiliated with
the Democrats, and that there can be only
two parties-Democratic and Republicans
in the Stgte.
DR.. D. NJ. Norton (colored) was nomi-
mated for Congress by the Republicans in
the first district of Virginia, and will be
elected, notwithstanding some disaffec-
ton. The district, now represented by R.
S. Aver, is strongly Republican, and Mr..
Norton, who is gentleman of education,
and was surgeon in the Union army
during the war, is popular man in the
State. The skies looks brighter for the
Republican party of Virginia.

ND all its phases and exhibited to his own
scrutinizing gaze all its bearings. Proper
self-rel;snce was another prominent trait
in his character. He commenced his
career believing that he could adapt him.
self to some and so contract others as to
render them subserviant to his purpose
He has shown that his confidence in him
self was not misplaced. Tenacity of pur-
pose was another strongly marked feature
in his character. Where others would
have faltered. he gathered strength, and
where others would have stopped he made
his starting point, and thence pushed
forward his plans until either his repeat
ed failures demonstrated their impracti
cability or success crowned his labors
Great physical and mental energy charac.
terized him in all situations. With him

sion that they seemed simultaneous.
He was twice married, having chosen
sisters in both instances of the late Carlos
Pierce of Stanstead, who died on the 21si
of August last, and to Mr.. Reyes had
been committed the settlement of his
large estate. He was happily fortunate
in all of his domestic relations. He leaves
wife and two beautiful children. He
left large fortune, including extensive
real estate. His age was about 66 years
Twice within the past week have we
been brought to realize personal loss in
the death of two gentlemen with whom
we were brought into relations of person
al intimacy by co-labor with them in diff
ferent fields of human effort. They were
both presiding officers of associations OF
which we were one of the executive Off

deavored to pay them fitting tributes and
lay our oh applet upon their graves. Long
may their services and memories remain
among the people amidst whom they
dwell and labored aud the State they hon

detachment of the Crown Princes army
occupied Melun, an important town fifteen

Melun they took possession of the Paris

line. Gen. Vinoy has been withdrawn
inside the Notifications by Gen. Trochu
the fort of Vincennes, which was com.
manded by the neighboring hills, has
been abandoned, and ismined for blowing
up. The attack on the six southern forts
will soon begin, in all probability, and
with the chances against the French. Or
the north side, however, there is not like
ly to be any serious attack, the fort of st
Denis being too strong. But the raids o.
the Germans toward the north and west
continue, and on Wednesday they had
occupied Nantes on the Seine, 20 miles
northwest of Paris, and were levying
heavy acquisitions on the inha bitants in al
that region. Up to last night they had
probably extended their foraging parties
on radius of fifty miles in all directions
from the city. The events of the coming
week will decide the capacity of Paris fol-
effective resistance.

A large and appreciative congregation
listened to its discussion with much APP
parant interest, and we trust correspond
ing profit.
The Ministral Association of Methodist
Ministers for Burlington District, meets
this week, commencing to-day the Goth
at Shelburn, and continues three days.
The discussion of the many questions that
are presented to these gatherings, call
out much talent and prove of great ad-
vantage to the minister as well as those
who wait upon the meetings.
In obedience to a requirement of the
statutes of the State, county conven-
ton of listers for Addison County will as
semble at the Court House in oar village
tomorrow, the 9th, to adjust and equal
ize the assessments of real estate of the
different towns for the coming five years.
The board is composed of one lister from
each town in the county, and whose ac-
ton has to be ratified by the Legislature
to become binding for the next semi-de-
cade in the assessment of State and County
taxes.
Mr.. Gardner G. Colby, who lives
three miles east of our village, has an or
chard that will unquestionably yield him
over 500 bushels of splendid apples this

loaded with such fine fruit. This orchard
is only about ten years old, and is very
thrifty.
Our county Jail is soon to undergo a
thorough repair, under the direction OF
Sheriff Trip. 1t has been so unsafe that
prisoners have been, from time to time,
