BUFFALOES FREEZING

At Brookville, the train was caught in

and shovels. While the train was wait

sides mp close to the cars and there stood
with bowed heads for the storm to pass.
Many were seen to fall down in their
tracks, dead from the cold, and when at

the track was lined with these huge

BUFFALOES STOPPING THE TRAIN
Leaving the last named station, Ellis.
on the Kansas Pacific r. r. we proceed
cd on, making better time in this one
hundred miles than in the last but night
coming on, the weary traveller took his
berth in the sleepiug-car (if he had oneI,
but he was not long destined to remain in
blissful slumber, as ever and anon the
shrill whistle sounded the alarm to
brake or stop the train. This occurring
every few minutes, the passengers wanted
to know the cause of it, and were inform
ed that the plains were covered by Buffa-
10.
Sleep was forgotten, and all eyes were
turned towards the plains and while the
grand midnight headlight (the moon)
was casting its clear rays across this wide
and extended waste of land, rejecting
with near the clearness of daylight upon
the snow covered ground, it revealed to
the excited passengers sight but seldom
the privilege of man to witness-namely.
a sea Of Jufd1o, as far as the eye could
reach. At times there was one mass of
living, tramping and stampeding buffalo
and deer, and here and there few elk In
their midst; and for more than humid
red miles the train had to encounter these
droves of animals at short intervals. and
some eight or ten times the engineer had
to reverse his engine to keep from run

on, passengers who mad arms kent up a
constant fire upon the fear stricken brutes,

took effect although one large bull run

the cars, made one terrible leap into the

regards the number of buffaloes that was

FIRE AT VERGENNEs. - About ten
o'clock Wednesday night last, an alarm
of fire aroused the citizens of Vergennes
from their slumbers, to find the barn OF
Dr. G. w. B. Kidder in flames, also the
building Immediately adjoining, belong
ing to DR.. III. A. Ingham, and occupied
as a wheelWright shop and barn. When
first discovered the fire was bursting out
between the two buildings, and the
whole block was wrapped in flames in
five minutes Thanks to the citizens,
and especially to the power and efficiency
of the splendid water works, what might,
and perhaps would have been a confiag-
ration, was prevented, and the flames
confined to the buildings where the fire
started. DR.. Kidder lost set of double
and two single harnesses, and ton of
hay, haycutter, saddle, &c. house and
barn insured for $4,000. II. A. Scott
lost two sets double harnesses. The
wheelwright shop, occupied by John
Bernor, contained a wagon, just finished,
a double sleigh belonging to F. K. Haven,
about 5000 feet of lumber, also the tools
and patterns, and about $40 worth of
finished work, all lost; no insurance.
John Lucas had four tons of hay burnt
in same building.

ARACTERIsTIo OF THE GREELEY
CAMPAIGN Our readers have noticed
the way and manner in which the Presi-
Dental campaign has been conducted by
the adherents of Mr. Greeley, from its
commencement to the present time. 1t
has been carried on, by them, with
SANDER, Misrepresentation, personal
abuse and falsehood These have been
substantially their only.weapons. Their
last attempt at wholesale falsehood is
the following, which appeared in one of
their journals, in New York city, Sun
day morning: Fifteen car loads of
government plate printers have left
Washington for New York city to vote,
having received leave of absence for a
fortnight, with full pay" The utter alb
surdity of this, and the number of false
hoods that can be condensed in few
word, may be seen, when it is known
that there are not fifteen carloads of
plate printers in the United States, and
nearly all of those employed by the gov
eminent reside in Philadelphia They
are paid by the piece; consequently, if
any go home to vote, which they have
an undoubted right to do, they do so at
a personal loss.

REPUDlATE THE PLATFORM. The adj
dress of the Executive Committee of
the Jeffersonian Democracy of Georgia,
and the nomination Of an electoral ticket
in favor of O'Conor and Adams, trou-
BILE the Augusta ConstitutionaList seri-
curly And, in telling why it believes
they should abandon their movement, it
says: The address complains of the
nomination of Mr.. Greeley on the Gin
cipnati Platform as a fatal error, but
would have found no fault if Demo
cratic platform had been adopted. The
delegation from Georgia voted almost
solidly against the platform. That should
appease the Georgia Democrats. The
adoption of Greeley and Brown as can
didates, while voting against the plat
form, docs not preclude future criticism
of its propositions. Nor does it bind
the consciences of the supporters even
of the platform to adhere to their opin-
ions. Men, certainly, have right to
change their opinions"

NORTH CAROLINA. -The special cor
respondent of the New York Herald,
writing in reference to the political
prospects in North Carolina, says there
are no more Greeley negroes in that
state than there are IN South Carolina.
A New York politician and friend of
Mr.. Greeley. who has made an extensive
tour of the State, says that Greeley ne
groes in North Carolina are myth, that
the darkies are all united for Grant. The

OBITUARY-Mr. John. L. Doty, a
gentleman we'll known in this section,
died in Boston, on Thursday last, Of
typhoid fever. Mr.. Doty was a native
of Vermont, we think of Rutland cOun-
ty, was forty-four years of age. He has
been a resident of Boston for many
years, engaged in the flour and produce
business, in which he was well and
favorably known. He was widely
known from his connection with the
Lenox Street Chapel Mission, which he
established several years ago, and has
conducted it with rare devotion, energy
and success. Here he has spent largely
of his time and money to promote the
moral and spiritual welfare of the resi-
dents of that section, not regularly con-
nected with religious organizations. He
leaves wife and one child. We be-
lieve Mr.. Charles A. Ram, of Poultney,
was at one time connected with him in
business.
The Boston Journal says of him:
Mr.. DOty was man OF earnest CHRISTIAN
character, warm sympathies, and tireless
energy. His labors in all the positions
he occupied were jealous and unceasing,
and his influence has been widely felt,
especially among those in the humber
walks Of life. His mission chapel in
Lenox street was especially designed to
reach this class of the community. and
it has been means of great benefit to
them. His decease will be deeply felt
by those who have come under his in
fluence, while many others who nave
known him will feel that a warm heart
ed friend and earnest worker for the
Master has passed away.

THE EQUINE DISORDER Rumor seems
to have predestined that nearly every
one residing in Rutland, having the good
fortune to possess a horse, shall have
the aforesaid horse or horses afflicted
with the typhoid laryngite," horse
disease, horse epidemic, or whatever it
may be called. The street was full of
reports, yesterday, of numerous horses
belonging to as many different persons,
being afflicted, and we, for once, had
enough of exercise in tracing these ru-
mors to their source, only to find, in the
end, their utter falsity. Two or three
instances will suffice to show the nature
of these rumors and the slight fOunda-
ton, if any, on which they are built.
The first report that attracted our atten-
ton was that the disease had made its
appearance III General BaXter's stable.
We found his horses all in perfect
health, but learned that some of those
in New York, had, in common with the
others in that locality, been affected by
the epidemic. The next report was in
reference to one of our livery stables.
They had a sick horse, to be sure, but its
sickness antedated the appearance of the
prevailing disorder, and had none Of the
symptoms attending it, In another case
it turned out that the man had no sick
horses, and, in fact, never owned a horse
in his life. And so it goes. We appre-
bend that if this clear, pleasant wealth
er continues, Rutland will be spared the
unpleasant visitation.

MARROW yesterday after
noon. while William H. LisCOmb was in
the Lincoln Iron Works, his horse,
which was generally quiet and steady,
having been left in front of the building,
became frightened at an engine follow
ing the mail train over the Rutland and
Washington railroad, started up the
track ahead of, and in the same direc-
ton. The horse ran at full speed until
it reached the railroad bridge, spanning
East Greek, where it was brought up, of
course. with a Ground turn" without
injury to itself or the carriage. FOrtu-
nately the locomotive was not running
at full speed, and to this circumstance,
undoubtedly, is due the safety of the
horse as well as of Mr.. Liscomb. as he
thoughtless of danger, started after the
horse, the engine following him. Mr..
Liscomb caught up with the horse, but
was unable to gain control of it, when
the engineer seeing trouble ahead, re-
versed his engine and stopped it in time
to avoid the collision.
