functions. No man has more personal
friends, and they have been won by his
talents, his amenity of manners and his
personal efforts for the welfare of Vermont

Although Maine has been the pioneer of
the temperance movement, particularly Ia
its prohibitory features, yet at no time has
the position of the reform there been so in
teresting and, we trust, so promising, as at
present. The popularity is, that at the
very moment prohibition has taken on its
most stringent form, moral suasion, in a
movement very much like that of the old
Washingtonihn times, has burst forth with
almost unexampled power and enthusi-
asn. Beginning in the centre of the State
last autumn, it has been spreading in differ
ent directions and gaining strength from
all classes as 1t went Not only have those
joined it who for the last twenty years have
been supporting the enforcement of the
"Maine Law" but drunkards and rum
sellers have come forward and taken the
pledge, and the children have availed them
selves of it to start right in life. There are
some things about this popular movement
that are peculiarly encouraging. Heretofore
the bulk of the temperance people of New
! England have ceased their efforts at moral
suasion just about in proportion as pro-
hibitory laws increased in suingency.

GEN. sTANNARD RESIGNS HIS oFFIcE.-A
HEAVY DEFICIT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.

From the Burlington Free Press of April
II: We announce, with more pain than
we can express, the resignation of Gen.
Geo. j. Stannard, as Collector of Customs
for the District of Vermont, in consequence
of heavy deficit in his accounts, which
has suddenly come to light. We under
stand his coin account with the Govern
ment, for customs, to be square; but in the
account for fees and perquisites, which is
required to be settled annually,a balance of
$4,000 appeared against him on a recent
settlement, which he was unable to make
good. An agent of the Treasury Depart
ment came on, last Friday or Saturday, 10
investigate the matter, and the result is the
disclosure Of the deficit, the holding of his
bondsmen for the amount, and the resigna-
ton Of Gen. Stannard, who has also gone
into bankruptcy to secure his bondsmen
with what property he has, as far as 1t will
go. This disclosure has affected Gen. Stan
nard's numerous friends with the utmost
surprise and establishment. We have not
been with Gen. Stannard much for three or
four years past; but in former years we
knew him intimately, and knew him for II
brave, frank. honest, upright man. No
body who knows him now will suppose
that he has stolen this money; but he lived
extensively he is free handed his purse
has been open TO every applicant to him
for help, and he has kept too little account
of his expenditures. The result is a bal
ance against him, which he is wholly un-
able to account for.
The government will lose nothing, as his
bondsmen are amply able TO make good
his loss, and will do so, at once.
The news of this sad piece of business
became generally known yesterday in
town, and caused very great excitement in
our community. Gen. STANDARDS reputa-
ton as one of the bravest and best of the
soldiers of Vermont has been dear to many
who have fought under and with him, and
to Vermonters generally. All were glad
when he was placed in the best Federal of
flee in our State, and all will mourn his
sudden departure from it, for such cause.

POLITICAL MATTERS.

Over eight hundred delegates, represent
ing the Republican party of Massachu-
sets, met al Worcester on Wednesday of
last week, chose delegates to the Philadel-
phla convention, and unanimously adopted
resolutions recommending strongly the re-
nomination of President Grant. and the
nomination of Hon. Henry Wilson for
Vice President. The work of the conven-
ton was entirely unanimous. The name
of Mr.. Sumner was scarcely mentioned
during the day, and the convention utterly
refused TO recognize any division in tho
party.
The Republicans Of Pennsylvania met
in State Convention, at Harrisburg, last
week, nominated General Hartranft for
Governor, and unanimously urged the re-
nomination of President Grant.
Eleven States have now expressed their
preference for Grant.
The Hon. David A. Wells, in reply TO a
critic, publishes his profession of faith.
Among other things he says: ~ believe
that the system of protection, as now taught
and carried out in the United States, is sec
ond only in villainy to the system of Amer
lean slavery, as it existed prior to the re-
bellion."
a Washington special says: A careful
canvass of the House shows that not sin
gle Republican in it will go to Cincinnati,
or express his sympathy with the move
ment in any public manner.
The position occupied by the Hartford
Courant, Of which Gen. Joseph II. Hawley
is editor, is not equivocal. TIE following
is an extract from one of its recent edtori-
ais:
1--WE have criticised General Grants adj
IN inistration ii has committed errors ; VIC
believe them errors of the head and not OF
the heart. No intelligent observer can de.
ny that if the republican party were to be
polled to-day man by man, lour-fifths of il
would vote for General Grants renomina-
ton. 1t is useless TO say that this is through
ignorance of his dement's, for no president
was ever more savagely and persisteutly
attacked-in many cases shamefully abused
All the charges against him have appeared
in journals of all parties, for they have
come in congressional reports, II nowhere
else. Nor will ii do to say that Office hold
ers have packed conventions for him. TIL,
warm advocates of his denomination are t.
be found in all ranks of society, in all class
es of readers and think RS, from the retired
and philosophical radicals-Gerrit Smith
and William Lloyd Garrison-to the young
descendant of democratic parents just cast
ing his first vote with the republicans
There are great merits in his admin
is!ration that cannot be denied; nobod,
debates them, but all talk of the errors
There are a multitude of good appoint
incnts; nobody has much to say of them
but all talk of the defaulters, who will turn
up in regular percentage under all admin
istrati ions. In the much debated matter o
civil service reform, General Grant is II
advance of Congress to-day. \ maiorit,
cannot be obtained for the measures h,
will inaugurate and enforce. He will need
in that the support of all good men. That
he Is as stubbornly in earnest In that as he
vas in going to Richmond we have not S
shadow of doubt"

The Burlington Free Press thus pleas
antly twists the elongated auricuar ex-
tremeties of the Windsor Journal man
1.-THE Windsor journal two years ago,
waited till the very close of the canvass for
Governor, apparently looking for somebody
to offer it a five dollar bill for its worthless
support before II took sides. Then, 100 late
to render any service, even if its influence
had been worth anything TO anybody, it
came out for Mr.. Converse and coolly char
ged the rest of the republican press of Yer
mont with being bought up. This time, it
is bound to be in season, and comes out
hot foot for Mr.. Converse, with character
istic coarseness and stupidity, charges the
Rutland Herald with being thought up for
less than a mess of pottage," and calls the
other republican papers of the State "train-
ed pups" This is all the Windsor Journal
knows either of State politics or common
courtesy. 1t is of no consequence what
ever, whether the Journal supports or OPP
poses a candidate. This time we venture
the opinion that in its support of Mr.. Con-
verse it goes before it was sent

Rhymes of Yankee Land" is the title
of volume Of cheap versffcations written
by Aella Greene of the Springfield Repub-
lican. Mr.. Greene'sexperience as journ-
alist, 1t seems to us, should have taught
him better use of his time and talents,
and greater respect for the public taste,
than is indicated by the the issue Of such a
collection of wishywashy poems as COM
pose this book. We have no desire to be
hypercritical; we would gladly speak in
praise of the efforts of brother knight of
the quill and, in fact, several of these po-
ems are not without share of merit. But
what would appear weak and pointless in
prose is none the better for being clothed
in verse; and the pen that portrays in halt
ing rhyme the cheap virtues of the "Smith-
vile Worthless" would have been better
employed in itenizing for the benefit of
the Republican readers the latest intelli-
gence from that retired but not unimport-
ant locality. If Mr. Greene's success in
journalism is such as to lead him in the flu
ture to a more thorough and entire devo-
ton 10 his profession. in our opinion, nei-
Their he nor the public will have cause 10
mourn over the reflection that what was a
gain to journalism was loss to poetry. In
all good feeling, we commend to brother
Greene the conclusion arrived at by West
ern editor, who, after a week vainly spent
in endeavoring to produce a satisfactory
poem, summed up the result Of his labors
in the sage observation:

Hannah NJ. Adams, whose death oc-
cured so suddenly little past midnight of
Sunday, April 9TH, at her fathers house in
Marlboro, possessed gifts and graces which
entitle her to more than passing notice.
Though cut off at the untimely age of q,
she had wrought much of the time both in
summer and winter for more than ten years
as a teacher. Indeed the fatal disease, men
nights, was probably induced by overwork
and brain wear in her calling. Eldest
daus liter of l.. Clark and Augusta NJ. Adj
ans, she commenced her chosen life work
near home, at the age of II; and closed it
in the graded school at North Adams, hav-
ing a home while there with her uncle, Mr..
Jasper Adams. Everywhere she succeed
ed everywhere won friends; everywhere
gave heaping measure, and the measure
she meted to others was measured to her
again in the esteem of her employers and
the children's love. But Hannah was as
thoughtful of her Lord as of her school.
Never selfasserting, always retiring, her
faith was rather seen than heard. Indeed,
if her Christian profession lacked in any
thing, it was more frequent declaration in
words. But the same was true of her earth
ly SORROWS. A Christian trust and love
that beautilied and hallowed all the life,
controlling the temper as the voice of
Jesus the sea, was only too rarely spok-
en- in words A sorrow that ever kept
ceaseless vigil day and night in her spirit
for years-deep as the grave it wept-misht
east its twilight on her very noon Of life:
others heard 1t only in the music she Sc
lected. Equipoise, just balance, mental
symmetry, wherein was no excess of one
power or passion over any other, made her
evenly capable, evenly good "a life of
which the Bible was the standard, and the
Son of Mary the perfected pattern.

The ice in the West river became block
ed opposite the Charles Stebbns place, be-
tween tho two villages, last week Wednes-
day, and came near drowning out Rollin
c. futile and his family. Water filled the
barn, raising the floor and endangering the
cattle. 1t also invaded the house to the
depth of 20 inches and drove the family up
stairs. Some of the inmates and valuables
we're removed in boats, and affairs looked
serious for time, until the ice gave way.
The water rose a foot and half above the
freshet of 1869, raising the planks on the
new bridge and seriously threatening its
destruction.

all of which he found plenty of water. He
then walked back to get cup of coffee,
and In five minutes the explosion occurred.
George Keithley, first engineer, who was

says that the boat had just struck the bar
the engines had been stopped and he
glanced at his watch to note the time, when

The whole forward part of the boat, includ-
ing the pilot-house, Texas and forward
state rooms, were scattered right and len.
