vERNoNrERs At KALAMAZOO AND DETROIT

A Windsor county friend now travel
ing with his family in the West, and last
week in Michigan, writing us on business,
closes with the following which we take
the liberty of copying, as being of interest
to many in this section Of our State
III find many Ncrmontcrs here, at De.
troit, and indeed scattered all over the
troit, and indeed scattered all over the
great West, and among the leading busin-
ess men, too. Here was the former resi-
dence of Ephroditus Ransom, who, when
| was lad on Windham hills was
lawyer at West Townshend, and came to
Michigan, was judge of Supreme court,
governor of the State, etc
Below here and on the line of the
Michigan Southern Railroad, resided
John s. Barry Sargent Barry as in Yer
mont he was called) once OF Saxton's
River and where his relations now reside.
Gov. Barry | think has been dead sever
al years, as has, also, Gov Ransom. The
Balsh family, once Of Vermont, now re-
side here also. Geo. Kidder native Of
Perkinsvilc, and son of Rev. II. Fetch-
or of Townshend, also owns nice farm
near this village (for though larger than
many western cities Kalamazoo declines
the honors of a cityship.)
At Detroit Judge G. l. Walker, once
an attorney at your place, resides and
stands high as lawyer. John Ward,
late of Springfield. and States Attorney
of Windsor county, takes front rank
among Detroit lawyers.
The judge of the recorders court at
Detroit Swift is from Middlebury, and
indeed | am told that at one time six
out of the nine supreme judges in Mich.
gan, were originally Vermontcrs. Your
quondam neighbor, Geo. o. Robinson of
South Reading, is also successful at
torney in Detroit. So you see what the
Green Mountains fail to retain among
the attractions Of the East, the great
West receives and uses. AT my side |
ask l. A. Brown, son of l. p. Brown
Esq, Of Plymouth, who resides here. and
is prominent man about the crops in
Michigan, he says "thc crops all over the
State are the biggest in the world, never
were better. Rain, sun and a good sea :
son makes every crop abundant, SO Ver-
mont farmers will buy cheap next Octo-
Der or November unless railroads charge
too high for transportation, But my

TnrnfoArrp TO TN MOTHER


Long years ago, u maiden fair,
Lay on her couch asleep.
And gently bending DER her thorc.
a mother came TO weep.
The breath of flowers came floating in,
Upon the zephyrs borne,
And sunbeams wandered shyly in,
Gliding that glorious morn.
There, all alone. that mother kept
Her vgils by her child;
And while she gnzcd, and watched, and vcpt
Tho blue eyes ope'd and smiled
"Mother had lovely dream,
o, would that it were true.
Of yon bright heaven caught n CLEAN:
But To- I'm here with you"
Soon you will dress my wasting form
In robe of snowy white
You will not need to dress me warm,
For there no chilly night
Will come, with frost and cold, cold rain,
There all Is light and love-
In heaven we may not look in vain
For light, and warmth, and love.
But when I'm gone away, Mother,
You'll miss inc 80 | fear
o, say you will not mourn. Mother;
To die do not foar;
For far above the sweet blue sky.
They say there is no night;
It's always one glad golden day;
How I shall love the light.
And brother Frank is there, you know,
soon shall SEQ him, too;
o, how my soul would long to go,
Only for loving you.
But Frank and l will watch and wait.
There on the golden sand;
And meet you at the Crystal Gate,
In that sweet Morning-Land
Now, mother, bring my favorite 1ovor.
Of all the flowers the best;
The flcur-de-luce 80 pale and pure
With leaves like scented frost
And every year, when bright-eyed Juno,
These flowers to you shall give,
Take them from her, a heavenly boon,
And place them ON my grave.
Morn's rosy palm the sweet earth pressed,
And there in sleep she lay;
Two white hands crossed upon hor breast.
Two blue eyes closed for aye.
Her favorite flower, so pure and fair,
Lay on her pulseless breast;
In heavenly beauty lay she there.
Sweet Alice, in her rest.

The Gubernatorial campaign in Massa-
chusetts is progressing with unusual heat
and personality. The candidates are
Butler, Loring, Washburn and others.
Butler made characteristic speech, at
Springfield, on Thursday evening, in
which he dealt out his personalities and
Acrimonious charges, without regard to
common courtesy or truth. Whereupon
the Boston Journal paints him as the
great Falsi6er and the Springfield Re
publican calls him the Great American
Fizzler" and proves it too in following
forcible and convincing language,
convincing language in an evil
hour, five years ago, the Republicans
sent Butler to Congress from the Essex
District. The first result of this was
quarrel between him and General Schou-
Ter, which cost the latter his Office as Ad-
jutant General. No sooner did he take
his seat, in March, 1867, than he began
to quarrel with Bingham, Farnsworth,
and others of the Republican leaders.

Fearful Railroad Collision.

One of the most terrible disasters that
has ever fallen to the duty of New
England newspaper to chronicle took
place Saturday evening, at the station of
Revere on the Eastern Railroad, some
five miles from Boston. This station is,
perhaps, better known to those living off
the line Of the road as North Chelsea
The evening accommodation train, which
stops at Beverly, Nolan conductor, should
leave the passenger station, at 7.l5 but
owing to the lateness Of the train due
from the camp, which was to return, it
did not start until a quarter of s, full
half hour behind time. The train con-
sisted of baggage car, smoking car and
three passenger cars, the four last being
crowded, even to the platform. Two en-
gines were attached to the train.
The Pullman train or Portland express,
left the station on time, at exactly eight
o'clock. q little more than ten minutes
behind the accommodation, stopping only
at Somervllle. The accommodation train
had reached Revere, made its stop, and
had inst commenced moving away from
the station when the.express came rushing
over the track with terrific speed, crash
ing into the rear car of the train, the
locomotive passing two-thirds of the way
through the car, carrying everything be-
fore it, crushing and scalding nearly
every passenger, and illing fifteen out
right. Seven more died within the next
four hours, and five died duringSunday.
