The Cincinnati Convention.

Bditor Rutland Herald - In great
and important matters, every man. how
ever humble, thinks he can give some
advice that will be of advantage. Acting
upon this opinion, [ wish, through TIE
HERALD, to make the following sn9@e8-
tons.
Our Republic is based upon the theory
that the intelligence of the MASSES is
sufficient to carry us safely through
every emergency and trial, and much
depends upon our existence as a Repub-
lie upon the wisdom, discernment and
integrity of those who meet in Conven-
ton to nominate candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States, from time time.
Our elections in the future as in 1850,
will severely test the strength of our po-
litical fabric, and all good men and true,
should take this matter into serious,
earnest and prayerful consideration, to
avert the schemes of a large body Of
men, who are now determined, in my
opinion, to ''rule or ruin" this nation,
and too many of such men will exist in
the future.
Acting with view to this end, by
concerted action, large number of this
class of politicians at Cincinnati, Ohio,
have made the attempt in politics, as
some have done in agriculture, Of
"forcing the season." or as some would
say in business matters, ''getting an
early start, or in the strategy of war,
commencing the attack at break of
day" This practice in these various de-
partments has not always been success,
''untimely frosts" have interfered with
the agricultural part, and in war Gen.
Early, in the rebellion, made one of these
attacks in the valley of the Shenandoah,
on Gen. Sheridans forces, with great
prospect of success at first but it turned
at last to his discontinue, as | trust
this Early Political attack in 1872, in
the valley of the Ohio, will prove disas-
trous to those political soldiers of for
tune, who "massed" at Cincinnati on
the flrSt OF May, 1917. helnTOrcements
will come from Winchester, which will
send this ''Confederated host whirling
up the valley
What great necessity has put those
strange bed-fellows all into one bed ?
1t is not all patriotism for it is conceded
and known that many of them have it
not"
Is our nation in peril by sea or land ?
No. Are we not at peace with all man.
kind, and our rights respected?
Entirely peaceful SO far as war is con-
cerned. We have an Arbitration ''ru-
ralizing" up among the mountains of
Switzerland, for damages done to our
commerce by some gentlemen who are
counted for ''H. G." on his ssnew de-
parture,o during the late unpleasant
ness" with every prospect that IAN
award will be made satisfactory to all

tone Term.n

Editor Rutland Herald This Is the
universal expression of the people, as
I can judge, as applied the office of
Governor. And so it should be. The
duties of the Office are not arduous,
nothing but what very many elderly,
honorable and highly respectable men,
now living, can perform with credit to
themselves and for the best interests of
the State. 1t is mainly a position of
honor Let it be distributed, says the
people. This being so, it belongs to
the east side of the State for the next
term. Let them bring forward their
man and the people will aid in his nom
ination and election.
We learn that Governor Stewart is

SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-A remarkable
surgical operation was performed in
Rochester, VT, recently, by Drs. Hunt
ington and Belknap, assisted by Drs.
Smith, of Gaysville, Brigham of Pitts
field, and Morse, of this town. The
subject was child of Mr.. Warner d.
Hodgkins, seven weeks old, born with
hair lip, divided upper jaw protruding
badly from its mouth, the palate entirely
wanting and the roof nearly so. The
object was to supply mouth if posi-
BILE. The child was etheriZed, its upper
lip severed from the jaw far enough for
the purpose, the jaw broken, the divid-
ed ends scarifed and brought together
with firm suture, the lips treated in
like manner, so securely that no crying
or effort of the child could effect them.
After ten days the bones were found
united so firmly the satures were remov-
ed, the lip was nearly healed, the mouth
has a root, of course wanting the palate,
the nostril is now distinct from the
mouth, and the child apparently doing
well. Vt. Chronicle.

these facts and theories, we leave the

An EPIDEMc.-There has been an
epidemic among cows in Rochester, in
Windsor county, this spring, which has
demanded no little attention Cows
would give milk two or three weeks and
become dumpish, eat very little, fall
away, horns and ears become cold, pulse
slow and feeble. This seemed TO call
for tonics and stimulants, and accord
ingly thoroughwort tea, as strong and
as hot as possible has been given, with
ginger, cayenne pepper and in some
cases, epson salts. These things, with
horse-raddish roots, have generally been
efficacious.

SARATOGA, ALBANY AND TIE HUDSON.

for It's snow storms and, as we said adieu
