This morning we announce two more
candidates for the Office of City Marshal
One of these w. C. (FRANK) AYDELoTT,
is a soldier by instinct, printer by
trade, and is known to most of our citi-
zens. Without courage, of strong
kind, the Office of City Marshal cannot
be faithfully filled. Ofthis virtue, Mr..
AYDELorT's war record, a synopsis 0.
which is in four scars of wounds on his
person, proves him in full possession.
If the people elect him, he will make
them an efficient and vigilant public
servant. ...... -....fs
Mr.. JAMES NJ. HAYNES is also a candi
date for City Marshal. He held the pc
Sit.on of Policeman for a considerable
time, and the wickedest and bravest of
the evil doors had a wholesome fear of
him. He is earnest and Jealous i'm the
discharge of his dcties, and courageous.
He is the only man who ever succeeded
in div ding the public patronage with
Uncle TOMMY. Indeed, if the people
elect either ERWIN, AYDELoTr or JIM
HAYNES, they cannot fail to have an ex-
cellcnt Marshal.

That's not as bad as losing wagon.
Going out yesterday I met man who
asked me if had seen anything of a lost
wagon. | asked him why; had he lost
one? Yes, he would make no secrets of
it, he had left Mt. Pleasant pretty drunk
and he remembered having got bagged
in the mud somewhere, but could not
tell exactly where, and had taken his
mules out of thu wagon and put out for
home. Where he had left his wagon he
could not tell. If he WAS John Scoggins
he had lost his wagon; ifhe wasn't John
Scoggins he'll he - if he hadn't found

wagon thankfully received.

several weeks ago a farmer and his
wife, living near that place, INDUCED
10 a little quarrel and the woman
went to Bloomington that she might
C ,ol off and the sooner recover her
good nature. Soon after she left
home the husband proceeded to
B oomington, consulted lawyer, and
arranged for a divorce on the ground
OF desertion and incompatibility of
dispositions. The court met the fol-
lowing Monday, and the business
was transacted at once. Notice was
served for the wife, and left at the
residence of the husband, but as the
wife was in town getting over her
"pet, she was of course unaware OF
service. The case was called in the
Common Pleasant the husband bro't
in evidence to show that his wife left
him, that they did not live together
tremendously, and that there was nc
probability of reconciliation. The
divorce was granted. Several days
afterward the wife, having recovered
Ier equanimiry, returned to what she
still believed to be her home only tt
find that she was divorced and home

is destined to become the most vaIu-
able in the world. In Europe, nearly
all the coal deposits lie far beneath

few miles eastward of this immense
store of coal, on the eastern slope of
the Alleghanies, are found inexhausti

part of which is already 10 operation,
crosses both the iron fields and the
coal fields, and unites them to the sea-
board on the one hand and the Great

WooL.-A dispatch from Concord,
n. H., in relation to the price of wool,
says: "From various localities far
mers are bringing in their last years
clip of wool quite freely. The price
paid is forty cents for the best. Du-
ring the last three years the farmers
have held largely for rise, and in.
stead of making anything, have been
badly bitten. From that experience
they have learned lesson, and fear
ing that the clip soon to be taken off
will materially lessen prices they have
brought forward all they have on
hand. Last year at this time some
farmers had the clip of three years on
hand, and many who had large hocks
of sheep borrowed money to pay cur
rent expenses rather than sell-as
they had to in the end. Some few have
now four years clip on hand"

This is a great country and is settling

they call it here, than in Vermont. You
may ride for miles on the prairie in many
places without seeing but now and then a
hut, but the people in town are enjoying
life as they term it, and there are some
splendid towns or cities, for as soon as they

large number of persons who attended his |
funeral, and the universal respect with
which his name is mentioned, are indlspu-
table evidences of his worth. He was
man of amiable disposition, quiet, unosten-
tatious and honest. He lived and died on
the farm where he was born, and never
travelled very far from it; and yet by his
quiet, practically christian life, he exercls-
ed an influence in life and leaves good
name at his death, which might justly be
pride to more snowy and ambitious men.
For nearly twenty years he had held the
office OF Justice of the Peace, and had done
large share of the justice business IN
town and we have never heard his integ-
rity called In question. He has held many
town offices, and in whatever position he
has been placed, his administration has
been marked by the same conscientious
rectitude. His death creates vacancy in
our society which will be hard to fill

Tuesday morning, the citizens of Mont
pelier were aroused at about 3 O'Clock by
an alarm of fire, which proved TO result
from the burning of the barn and dwelling
house recently owned by the late Hon. ID.
z. Thompson, on Barre street The ire
was first discovered by the residents on
Berlin street, and the flames were then
flashing out through the door way OF the
barn. The fire spread with great rapidity,
and ere help could reach the spot it was
under such Roadway that all efforts to stay
the flames were Intellectual. The entire
house and barn were burned to the ground.
Considerable of the furniture was saved,
and still the loss and damage is great. The
house was occupied by Mr.. John Lease,
and also by Mrs. DR.. Taplin, and contain
ed the furniture of both of them, as we'll as
the furniture of Mrs. Thompson, and the
library belonging to her deceased husband.
There was an insurance of $4,000 on the
buildings, 5000 ON the furniture and S400
on the library of the late Mr. Thompson.
Mr.. Lease has no insurance on his goods,
and his loss will be some $500 or mole. A
fine pig and several hens in the barn per-
ished in the fire. Efforts were made to res
cue them, but the fierce flames drove back
| the people and frustrated the attempt. Mr..
Lease was considerably singed and scorch-
ed while endeavoring to save portion OF
his effects. The origin of the fire is I'M
known, and probably was set or accidental
| ly caught in the barn, which may have
served as a lodging for some transient per
son. Mr.. Lease is relatively much the
/ heaviest loser by this unfortunate confa-
/ gration.-Freemal.
