Election ex-senator.

Hon. Justin S. Morrill,, who has Just
been reelected to the United States Sem
ate by our Legislature the entire Re.
publican vote is entirely worthy Of the
confidence of the people of this state.
Iu 1855, he was elected to represent
the Second District in the 34th Congress,
and was reelected to the 35th. 36th 9th,
3Sth, and 30th Congress. He thus had
six Doni ilations and elections to Congress
and filled a longer term Of service in that
branch Of Congress than any other repre-
sentative from Vermont, with the single
exception of Horace Everett, who had
seven elections as representative in Con.
gress.
Mr.. Morrill, in his twelve years of con.
tinuous service in the House, won high
eminencc as a Legislator, and a national
reputation. Among the great measures
of which he was the father. we're the
Morrill, Tariff, the Agricultural College
Act, the repeal OF the Reciprocity Treaty,
the law against Polygamy, together with
several tax bills, involving great labor
and calling into exercise wide practical
knowledge and sound judgment. He be-
came recognized authority and leader
on all questions of finance and trade, and
before his promotion to the Senate, he
had reached and occupied with distinction
and success the highest position on the
floor of the House-the Craftsmanship Of
the Committee Of Ways and Means.
In 1866, Mr. Morrill, announced his
declination to be again a candidate for
reelection to the lower House, and be-
came candidate for the U. S. Senator
ship. A spirited canvass followed, Judge
Poland, who held the ofiics of U. S Sem
ator by appointment to fill the vacancy
occasioued by the death of Senator Col
lamer, being also a competitor for election
as Senator, which ended in Mr.. Poland's
withdrawal and the election Of Mr.. Nor
rill by the Legislature with substantial
1nanimity.
In the Senate Mr.. Morrill, has fully
maintained the high reputation won by
him in the House. He is Chairman of
the Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, the place so long and honorably
held by the late Senator Foot. He is
second on the important Committees on
Finance and on Education and Labor.
No Senator is listened to with more at
tention than be, xheuever he takes the
floor,aud no one stands higher Cor integrity
and fidelity to every trust. He is
courteous gentleman, staunch Republi.
can, true Vermonter, an honest man.
tie honors Vermont aud the United States
Senate, and our State will do honor TO
nim aud to herself by re-clecting him to
that high position.

NEWSPAPERS. Their value is by no
means appreciated, but the rapidity with
which people are waking up to their ne-
cessity ald usefulness is one Of the sig
niicant signs of the times. Few families
are now content with single newspaper.
The thirst for knowledge is not easily
satiated, and books, though useful, yea,
absolutely necessary in their place, fail to
meet the demands Of youth or age. The
village newspaper is eagerly sought and
its contents are eagerly devoured. Then
comes the demand for the country news,
state news, national and foreign news.
Next to the political comes the literary,
and then the scientific journal. Lastly,
and above all comes the moral and relig-
ious journals. This variety is demanded
to satisfy the cravings Of the active
mind.
Newspapers are also valuable to ma
terial prosperity. They advertise the
village county or locality. They spread
before the reader map on which may be
traced character, design, progress. If a
stranger calls at hotel he first inquiries
for the village newspaper; if a friend
comes from distance, the very next
thing after the family greeting, he in.

AS before, the enterprise and success of
the Americans excited great attention 10
Europe; and, while japan was still sore
and shaken with the turmoil which these
astonishing changes had produced the
great powers were swift to follow up the
advantages which the republic had secur-
ed for itself. During 1858 and 1859,
similar treaties we're concluded by Great
Britain, Russia and France. In 1860,
Prussia made its tr atty; and, in 1864
switzerland secured like relations with

Song Of the Aged.


(fN ocroBER.)
ny MRS OLIVE E. THOMAS.
Queen of beauty, rare October!
Throned in light, mid golden sheavea.
Bearing regal crowns for Nature,
Whose great heart in silence grieves.
Dim to-day thy royal favors
With the splendor of tear,
And drgc is in the rhythm
Wnen outrings thy harvest cheer!
Thou art signing that the song birds
Watt farewell o'or tue plain,
That the warm winds softly blowing
Drift dead leaves against the pane'
Oh, October, Rare and tender,
Like to thine our rev'rent hymn,
Fled for us the summer splendOr,
And his autumn groweth dim
Long we dreamed that hands should never
Falter in the grasp of love,
That we'd greet our dear ones ever
Till we trod the shores above.
That no change or doubt should darkon
In the glance from eye to eye,
And the song that Hope repeated
On our lips should never die
But alas in triumph marching
To the goal ambition set,
Ever on the sky DER arching
Hung the clouds Of dark regret.
So VIC watch while harvest laurels
To the reaper's hand we bring,
For the breaking bonds that usher
Gladly in the coming spring

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK. - Siour CtH
Io,ca, Oct. l0.-At $50 yesterday this
city and vicinity was visited by quite
severe shock of earthquake. The people
rushed out of their houses and consideTa.
BILE excitement prevailed for brief period.
The shock only lasted a minute and a
half, but during that time crockery and
bottles we're thrown down and buildings
we're pretty well shaken up. No serious
damage was done to property. 1t is re-
ported that at Fort Randall, Dacotah, it
was more severe, and there was great ex-
citement at Yankton. The shock, although
faint, was distinctly felt, but no damage
was done. Reports from other portions
Of Dakotah show that the shock was felt
more or less at the principal points.
The storm on Sunday evening the 9th
seems to have been more severe at Mon
treal than any other point heard from.
There it ended in q violent hail storm
some of the stones measuring three inche,
in circumference. The lightning struck
a dwelling and barn near the east end Of
the Victoria Bridge, consuming it in a
few minutes. The walls of the St. Pat
rick's Hall were SO undermined by the
storm, that they fell in on Monday morn.

that there was a sufficient quantity of

new gray suits they marched down the
Niagara River, on the Canada side, in
the direction of Chippewa. 1t was Just
before the battle known BY that name

upon them with contempt when prepar.
