The Liberal Republicans whatever
that may mean-announced their "Grst
gum" in the reelection of Senator o. s.
Ferry of Connecticut by a coalition Of
democrats and few republicans who
bolted against the regular republican
candidate. The democrats were also
much elated and up somewhere in New
Hampshire they burnt powder over the
result. Instead of the victory" how
ever, it proves to be disaster. They
have caught tartar. Senator Ferry
wrote letter last week, in which he re-
pudiated the Cincinnati nominations,
and declares that an administration
made up and controlled by Horace Gree
ley would be mere midsummer mad
ness p This of the two is worse than
that scramble in Boston some years ago,

elected to Congress, bat later in the
evening, Burlingame was found to be

County Politics.

The union republican county conven-
ton will probably be held about or a
little past the middle of June. The first
question to be decided will be whether
our senators and county officers shall
have another election, under the biennial
system. As to senators we have nothing
new to add to what we have said many
times before, having always advocated
the reelection of senators and represen.
tatives under the annual system, much
more than ever obtained a member Of
the county committee has suggested what
seems to us very fair way to settle th,
question, which is that the subject, pre-
vious TO making nominations of course
should come up in the convention in
formand be settled by itself, and thu;
avoid any contest on it over the candi
dates. When the question of nomina,
tons appears, therefore, each candidate
will have fair chance on his own mer.
Its and neither be dragged down MOI
built up by the question of one or more
terms.

TALK All THE TorLET.-Every lady's
maid knows that the bewitching beings
who pave their triumphant way with
conquered hearts, regard splendid head
of hair the most effective of all womanly
destinations. They believe, and they are
right, that they can lasso as many beaux
with the luxuriant ringlets and glossy
braids, as they can " kill at sight with
their beaming eyes. Hence, in their
toilet talk " among themselves and
with their attendants, the merits of prep
arations for the hair are freely canvass
ed, and the latest result of this discussion
seems to be the almost universal adop-
ton of LYONS KATHAIBoN as an ar
ticle better adapted to promote the growth
and beauty of the Chief Glory of Wo-
man than any other al present before
the world. They say that without irri-
tating the skin of the head it eradicates
dandruh, and that it penetrates below
the surface to the roots of the hair, en-
dowing them with new life and vigor

THE PEOPLE OF PERSIA, or what there
is left of them, have been rendered SO
desperate by their long continued suffer
ings from the famine that they are trans
formed into robbers, and none of the
roads are safe. An officer sent out by
the Grand Vizer to suppress the brigands
was found in a small town in complete
state of destitution, having been himself
stripped by them. A telegram to a Lon.
don paper, under date May 3, sent by
an English officer, says that the final
stage of the famine is more terrible to
witness than the first; although the
crops are now magnificent and water
abundant. The roads are strewn with
half eaten corpses, and cannibalism i:
not uncommon. The Famine Relief So.
ciety in London has already sent out
$4,000, which, through the liberality Of
the Indo-European Telegraph Company
who permit the use of their telegraph
wires gratis. is placed in the hands Of
agents in Persia within few hours after
it is subscribed. The people are still in
terrible need of assistance, and if il
come at all it must come quickly.

Charles Pomeroy Button, announces
himself, through the Burlington Free
Press, as a candidate for State Senator
from Chittenden county, and if elected,
he pledges himself to receive no pay
from the State, considering the honor
a sufficient compensation for his services.
Whether the good people of that county
will care button for this proposition re-
mains to be seen. There is one point,
however, which may be against him
though we cannot tell how ID may be in
Chittenden county. He says he has
been absent in Europe several years,
though he is native of Vermont, and
has resided in Burlington the past four
years. In some parts of the State after
such an absence it requires fifteen or
twenty years to gain residence.

LATER.

The Boston papers discredit the story
telegraphed from New York of the
wholesale disaster to the Newfoundland
whaling feet. The details are said to
have arrived there by mail, but the lat
est advices received at Boston and Hall
fax only mention twelve vessels as lost or
missing, and some of the missing have
not been out so long as to cause them to
be given up as lost. The crews of the
vessels known to be destroyed were all
saved except forty-fve out Of sixty men
on the brig Huntsman. A shipping mer-
chant of New York, representing New
foundland firm, makes a still more ia
vorable statement, saying that the re-
port is entirely false with respect to all
but three vessels, and that he has had
advicss of the safe return of most of the
feet.

Greeley Then and Now.

The Utica Herald calls attention tC
how Horace Greeley stood last fall anC
how he stands now. Last September
Greeley sent his delegates to the New
York State Convention with the draft Of
a platform on which he said "they want
ed to make fight" Here is an extract
from it,
III. In this alarming crisis in city and
State affairs, the republican party refers
all good citizens to its record, as their
warrant for giving it their fullest conf
dence and support in the campaign, now
formally opening, of the honest men
against thieves.
1t abolished slavery.
1t led in the suppression of the rebel
lion.
1t preserved and enlarged the Union.
It promptly reduced the enormous
forces thus required to peace footing.
1t has reduced the debt over two hun
bred and fifty millions of dollars in the
last three years.
II has simultaneously reduced public
taxation over two hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars per annum.
1t has preserved peace on the border.
1t has won a friendly adjustment of
the threatening troubles with Great
Britain.
III. For its conspicuous share IN this
benifcent record q0e indorse the national
republican administration -
We reafiirm the platform of principles
laid down by the last National Republi-
can Convention =
And on these principles and this rec
ord, with the ticket this day chosen, we
appeal to all friends of honest govern
ment, of whatever previous party ascot
alton, for aid in the triumphant victory
we unitedlY pledge ourselves to win.
This is where Horace Greeley and his
friends stood no longer ago than last
September, and now he seeks to disrupt
the party that had accomplished so much
for the peoples good and the nations
honor.

Great Disaster to a Sealing Fleet
THREE THOUSAND LIVES LOST.

ihhEE THOUSAND LIVE LUST.
Particulars of the recent losses of yes
sells in the ice off Labrador and New
foundland during the sealing voyaginI
this spring, show that over 40 vessels, in
Guiding four steam ships, have beef
heard from as total wrecks, having beer
dashed to pieces while amid the hug
icebergs and plains of ice. On an aver
age, each of those vessels carried abou
100 men employed as seal-hunters, anC
out of those 1000 human souls only III
have been accounted for. The large ma
jority of.those unfortunates have LEFT
families behind, exclusively dependent
on them for sustenance.
A list of vessels with the number Of
men to each ship is given. Over forty
vessels are known to be lost, and most Of
the seamen, amounting to some three
thousand.
During the night of the loss of the
Retrievar sixteen vessels were hemmed
in by high boulders and bergs of ice,
over which tremendous seas dashed high
and wild, so that it was impossible at
times to discern the icy islands, and
charge after charge of the ungovernable
ships against those mighty barriers soon
cleft their bows and bulwarks asunder
and consigned many stalwart forms and
brave hearts to watery graves. While
this fleet lay to as last effort to survive
the wild northeastern hurricane, many
tossing crafts cut down each other, and
one fearful instance is recorded wherein
vessel driven on an iceberg by high
sea fell back with mighty crash upon
brig, the Twin Sisters, which lay be-
meath the berg. A large number of men
were instantly crushed to death, and the
Twin Sisters literally burst in to. The
rest, only 10 out of SO, chung to broken
spars, and were by chance picked up by
the crew Of the Retriever. The Retriev-
er barely reached the land in the morn
ing, when she sank in shallow water, her
crew escaping in the boats.
The consequence of this wholesale ruin
to the seal hunting fleet of Newfound-
land will involve that country again in
poverty and misery, from which it has
bat recently risen. Hundreds of the
fleet are still to be heard from, and their
fate may be even as gloomy as that of
the Al vessels of which this account is
presented.
In the light of that dreary dawn, the
scene which presented itself to those on
board the only survivor of the fleet of
sixteen, the Retriever, cannot possibly
be described. The ice had wedged in
the space intervening between the posi-
tions Of the vessels and the shore. Up
on rudely shaped boulders and flakes of
ice were strewn masts, goods, rigging,
clothing and broken bulls in the widest
disorder. Worse still were the blood
smeared corpses, crushed to death by
plains of ice closing on them. Some
were actually cut in two by the tanning
of the foes, and others, half drowned
and exhausted, died from the intense
frost. The stidened bodies lay strewn
around in the most CHASTITY attitudes.
The terrors which surrounded their death
were pictured upon the blanched face of
every corpse, while many of them could
hardly be recognized, they had been so
mangled,

A TERRIFIC ToRNADo.-Last week a
terrific forbade passed over several coun-
ties on the Mississippi river, in the cen
trail portion of eastern Iowa and western
Illinois, 1t appears to have moved in a
south easterly direction. Accounts from
Des Moines county, Iowa and Adams
county, Illinois, state that every move
able thing in its track was swept away.
Trees were uprooted, fences scattered,
telegraph poles and lines demolished,
and many barns and houses unroofed
and blown down. So far as heard, there
was no loss of life. The destruction o:
property was very great.

GREAT RELIGIOUS REyIvAL.-A great
religious revival is prevailing at Con-
cord, N, III. Last Sunday twenty-six
persons were immersed at one baptism,
which took place at Horse Shoe Pond.

the impressive ceremonial, all being in
the wafer at the same time: Elder John
G. Hook, adventist Mr.. Sykes Curtis,
Freewill Baptist; Rev. Mr.. Drew, Meth
odist and Rev. j. III. Lowering, Unita-
rian. A very large conoourse of people
attended, numbering nearly two thous-
and. The religious interest here still
continues undated. Over two hundred
have been immersed in baptism since the
revival commenced, some ten weeks ago,
