Districts win elect their own delegates,

elect two for the State at large, unless,
the respective States shall otherwise
provide by State Conventions. .a1s,i
Those who may be accredited as
delegates, should meet the Convention

DOMINION SiARTNEss.-AnO Ottawa cores
pondent of the New York Tribune says of the
American fishing schooner "Granada" recent
ly seized at Port Hood, that her offence was
not that she was fishing contrary to law, but
that she had on board goods which in the ap-
prehension of the authorities, were to be
smugs'ed. This explanation makes the mat
ter worse than before, as it is not pretended
that the goods were unlaien, or that any at
tempt was made to discharge them. The yes
sci was bound for the Bay of Islands aud put
into Port Hood on her way. If all the Prov
ince vessels bound to New York, Boston and
other ports south of us, which are found in
Portland harbor with foreign goods on board,
should be seized there would be lively work
among our Customs officials.

THE GALLONS IN VERMoNT.-On On the
evening of the Sd of October, 1868, was per-
petfatcd one OF the most diabolicat assassina-
tions ever known in the criminal records OF
the Stale of Vermont. The victim, Perry
Russell, Esq, was respectable and we'll
known farmer, residing in Hinesburg, Vt,
possessed of considerable property, aged sew
enty-six years. and member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. His assassin, Henry
Welcome, lad of seventeen, resided in the
same town, and was born of Christian ma
rents, also well known and respected. The
assassin, arming himself with heavy door
hinge went to Mr.. Russell's door and knock
ed. The old man, who had retired to bed
with ois wife, got up and came to the door,
with the intention of openina it, when his
wife cautioned him not to do so until he had
ascartained who was there. Upon this the in
quiry was made, and Welcome answered, $40
Busby; | want to come in" Hearing ia
mlllar name, the old man opened the door,
"hen he received terrible blow from the
murderous hinge, and he lay bleeding and
dyihs upon his threshold. The noise of the

he expected to obtain as reward for his la win

PORTLAND AND OGDENsBURG RAILROAD
The Lamoille VT, Neaosdealer of Wednesday
saws that at recent meeting of the executive
committe of this corporation in Vermont, it
was decided to complete the road ready for the
cars from st. Johnsbury to Walcot if possible,
certainly to South Hardwick this year; the
promptness manifested by towns and individ-
uals in paying assessments encouraging the
managers to extend the work which was orig
inally contemplated for the season. All the
lumber and timber for bridges and trestle- work
is being purchased to be delivered at Hard
wick this winter, and agents are busy purchas-
ing ties. The NeWsdealer says:
The contractors have been paid promptly
every month, and the work thus far has been
done within the figures and estimates of the
engineers. The working force ON the Lamoie
Valley part is now about 500 men, and as soon
as spring opens the force will be doubled at
least. Every important cut between Hyde
Park and st. Johnsbury with ono or two ex-
ceptions is now being worked and will be well
along by the 1st of June, when the lighter
work will be pressed vigorously.
The same paper states that the road will Ger.
tainly be completed as far as Sheldon by
January, 1872.
