From Albany.
ALBANY, N. Y, April 10.

ALBANY, n. Y, April III.
Information from trustworthy sources
at Washington states that the Republi-
can State Convention to elect delegates
to Philadelphia will meet in Syracuse
on the 18th of May.
1t is also stated that efforts are in pro-
gress looking towards the healing of the
differences in the party in the State.
There are some encouraging indications
of success, although the matter is one
involving so many considerations that
the endeavOrs may prove in the end
abortive. The movement, however,
comes from the friends of administration
They will make some concessions, but
whether they will go far enough to meet
the approval of the other side we must
wait for the course of events to show,
From other quarters, there is infor-
nation that the Fenton wing of the
party proposes to be passive in the next
canvass in the State, and will not lift a
hand in it, so long as they have no share
in the counsels of the party, and no re-
cognitiOn in the distribution of the pat
ronage. How much truth there may be
In this | do not venture to say, having
no means of learning the aims and plans
of these gentlemen.
The Senate voted on Tuesday night to
sustain Senator Wood by a vote of Is to
10. The ground was taken that the
Senate had no jurisdiction of the case
because the acts charged were done du-
ring former term of office, and that
the testimony did not prove the charge
of corruption and bribery therefore the
punishment by expulsion is not justif-
ed.
The freshet continues obstructing
business on the docks, which are over
flowed.
The Evening Journal claims as a re-
suit of the election yesterday, nine re-
publicans to seven democrats in the
common council, that the board of SUI
pervisors will now stand 10 republicans
and II democrats, and the election of
Greene, republican, for recorder, and
says that the nominal returns make
Thacher mayor by small majority.

RAILRoADs.-M Meetings have been call
ed for the purpose of bonding the towns
along the line in aid of the Northern
Vermont and Lake Champlain railroad
which is to run from Burlington or per-
haps from Essex Junction to CambrIdy"
there connecting with the Lamoilie Val
ley Railroad This is an important en-
terprisc as it will connect Portland with
Burlington thus reaching water cOmmu-
niCati0n with the West. 1t is also i'm
portant locally to the city of Burlington
The road, owing to the extremely favor
able character of the route, can be
built cheaply. 1t is an important enter
prise to all that section of country. and
VIC learn that the city of Burlington is
fully alive to its prosperity, increase of
business and growth. And the people
do not intend to let the selfish interests
of individuals hinder the great and posi-
tive advantages to be secured by them
in the future They see the benefits of
railroads and intend to go for this route
in dead earnest. Growing under the i'm
petus of manufactures to be the largest
place in the State they do not intend to
let any hinderance within their power
obStruct their business or increase. \
people alive to their own interests they
prosper and will continue to prosper so
long as they make forward movements
of this kind The people along the line
take hold of the matter we understand
with energy, prepared to lay aside all
local divisions considering that what
ever benefits and increases the value of a
portion of the town, benefits the town
as a whole. The new road they know
will increase the value of all the farms in
that section and increase business gen
orally. We trust every man who owns
dollar of property in that section will
give his assent to the bonding system,
for we wish them success as we wish all
live towns cities and people success
everywhere, when they make an effort
to help themselves.

We are pleased to learn that the
Troy Conference, at its recent session at
Saratoga, has again assigned the Rev I

Melnodlst Episcopal church in this town

relief as we see the indications of re-
turning spring and summer. With our

The anticipations of our boys and

new sugar, maple molasses and buck
wheat cakes. Let them enjoy it. 1t is
fitting, if we are to have festal seasons,
that the sugar-making season be one
Maple sugar is one of the leading pro-
ducts of the State, and pays the expense
of producing as well, perhaps better,
than any other farm product. And, then,
there is kind of poetry about it that
adds to the pleasure of rural occupations
and does much towards keeping our sons
at home on the farm, where they should
be. Almost every farm in Middletown
has it's sugar orchard sturdy old rock
naples that terminated and grew long

GENERAL DEBLITY.-In this complaint
the good effects of the Vegetine are real
lied Immediately after commencing to
take it; as debility denotes deficiency of
blood, and Vegetine act directly upon the
blood There is no remedy that will restore
the health from debility like the Vegetine.
1t is nourishing and strengthening, puri-
fies the blood, regulates the bowels, quiets
the nervous system, acts directly upon the
secretions, and arouses the whole system

tinues dull in the city and suburbs, so that
there is but little probability of present

half of Northern stock was from Canada.

tation of a hard market, but were happily
disappointed. Nearly One-half of receipts

gained. w Jones sold IS sheep at
