uuis railroad was being made up at Oldtown
for connection with the f. and \: A. traip
while locomotive of the former line was mOy-
ing quite swiftly.a short distance from the depot
4 lad, about seven years of age, walked into the
centre of the track, unconscious ofthe approach
ing engine The locomotive came rushing
along, and the bystanders, horri6ed at the. peril
of the boy, shouted wildly to him to run ~ but
Ike discovery Of his peril seemed TO, patayk1s x
his limbs. and he stood apparently rooted to the
snot by terror. But Just as the engine had al
most reached him, young, man rushed IRON @,
the crowd to the rescue, seized the boy as tn the
pilot of the locomotive was within few feet OF
tile spot, threw him by main force to the plat
form beside the rails, and by a. mighty effort @
sprang, almost at the same time, clear Of the
track apparently grazing the trout OF the en-, en-

DEATH OF PROF. WmTE.-Prof. I. White
died on the 18th instant, at his residence on
Messy creek, Augusta county, of cancer OF the
throat. in the 45th year of his age.
Mr. White was widely and favoraby known
throughout the Valley, as teacher. lie had
for many years been engaged in that vocation,
for which he was peculiarly fitted, and had es-
tab!ished an enviable reputation. He was
Christian gentleman Of many excellent traits,
and universally esteemed. He leaves widow
and large family of young children: About a
year ago, at the persistent solicitation of a
friend and relative, he was induced to take out
policy of Sl0 ZOO on his life, in the Piedmont
and Arlington Life Insurance Company. MIR:
White had been unfortunate in his business at
fairs-not by mismanagement-bu provlden-
tal events. His academy was burned some
years ago. He subsequently opened his school
at his residence, and several years ago that was
entirely consumed, only few days after an IN
Surance policy had expired He was then left
without means, and entirely dependent on his
profession for the support Of his family. Some
mouths ago, he was stricken down with the
disease that terminated his life. The policy on
his life will leave his family in comfortable cir
cumstances. -,Stounton lUgin,an:.

SECOND DAY-AFTERNOON.

CLAREMoNT, n. H., Sept. 18.
The rain ceased falling at noon, but
still remains cloudy. Things for exhi-
bition are coming in faster, and it looks
more favorable than in the morning.
Among the things on exhibition we
notice in the fruit line sixty varieties of
apples, twelve of grapes, sixteen of
plums and twenty of pears, raised by
T. F. Butterfeld, of Springfield, Vt,
who has a nursery of SO, 900 trees on the
banks of the Connecticut. No root
grated New York trees can equal this.
H. A. Breed, Unity, N. H., Is vari-
eties of apples.
S. NJ. Chase, Cornish, N. H., 12 vari-
cites of pears.
S. G. Grannis, Claremont, n. H., 20
varieties of apples and of pears.
II. III. Howe, of Springfield, VT, has
on exhibition fine case of chemicals of
his own preparation, consisting of 20
specimens.
G. G. Dinsmore, of Claremont, n. H.,
exhibits a tool chest made by himself
entirely by lamplight, consisting of 8, ,440
different pieces of wood, most foreign
kinds.
The trotting for the day came off at
o'clock, being for geldings and mares
under years old. The stakes were

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.-ThC
Republicans of the Green Mountain
State are entitled to the thanks of their
brethren throughout the Union, for the
glorious result achieved on the 3D. inst.
Vermont was looked upon by the coaIl-
tiOn party as just the State wherein to
demonstrate large defeCtions in the Re
publican ranks, and the certainty OF
Horace Greeley's election in November
His supporters entered the contest with
the utmost confidence of cutting down
the RepublicanmajOrity to figures which
would give great popularity to the sage
of Chappaqua. The true Republicans,
nothing daunted, accepted the battle
without a single misgiying or doubt,
meeting their enemies at every turn and
upon every tack. The result is $4,000,
or thereabouts, Republican majority
This result has fallen like wet blanket
upon the supporters Of Greeley. 1t shows
that all the predictions of the office seek
ers have been based upon a false pre-
sumption, and that any detection which
may have taken place in the Republican
ranks is fully made up from their former
opponents Had any considerable por-
ton Of the Republicans of Vermont re-
manned careless and Indifferent, and
failed to go to the polls, their enemies in
all the States would have regarded it as
an indication of the success of Greeley,
and rent the air with salutes and noisy
reioicings, and thereby increased the.
labors of the Republicans in other States;
but in winning their own victory, and
winning it so Overwhelmingly, they have
lightened the labors of their brother Re
publicans of every other State. Hence,
we say, all honor to the tried and true
Republicans of Vermont. Ogde7as5a5'g

MONOLOGUE ENTERTAINMENT BY yIR-
GINIAN STATESMAN.

The - Monthly Gossip" in the Octo-
Der number of Ljppjnc0tt's NagGzine,
contains this capital story:
Perhaps the most brilliant COnversa-
tiOnalist that Virginia or the United
States ever produced way the late Lyt-
tletOn Waller TazeWell. Unfortunately
for his reputation as to consistency and
firmness of opinion, his mind was so ca
paciOus and well stored that it was inn
possible for him not to see all sides of
any subject on which he cOnVCrscd, and
hence it was not always easy-indecd, it
was often diffiCult-for his hearers to as
certain what his real opinion was. In
Illustration of this popularity of Govern
or TaZeWeu, the following anecdOtc is
told :
When the notification trouble was at
its hight, Mr.. Calhoun sent William
G. Preston to Richmond to sound the
first Gov. Floyd, father Of John 3. Floyd,
Secretary Of War under Buchanan, as
to what might be expected of Virginia
in case South Carolina became involved
in conflict with the Federal govern
mcnt. The question being one Of great
Importance, and Governor Floyd having
the utmost confidence in Gov. TazewclIs
Judgment, the latter was summoned to
the State capital, and the conference
took place in the executive mansion at
night. soon after supper.
Mr.. TaZeWcll, being called upon for
his opinion, began. A stream of brilliant
and fOrciblc words poured from his flu
cnt lips. enchanting and dclighting his
two auditors. At the expiration Of an
hour Gov. Floyd vcnturcd to interrupt
him: Your opinion. then, is"
"Wait a moment. said Tazewcll Di-
yerging from the line Of his previous
remarks. he corruscated for anothcrhOur
as forciblc A. before.
1t was then Prcston'S turn tointcTccpt
and if possible arrest the flow of
talk:
1--WE may conclude, then, Mr.. Tazc-
well. that YOU hold"
$40. not all. You quite misapprchcnd
me. Taking another point of depar-
turc. he went on from hour to hour.
and worm fencing at each in
tcrruption until at last broad daylight
flooded the room.
BLESS my soul :" said he. looking up
surprised, 1T is morning. Floyd. if
you will give me a bowl of water to
wash my face. and a julep, | will lie
down for an hour or two to rest myself,
and tonight, if YOU choose we will re
sumo our conversation. l am afraid |
have not made myself quite clear to
either Of you, gentlemen.
The water and the julep were dnly |
brought and the fluent takler went up to |
his chamber.
Floyd and Preston remained staring |.

at the time that it was much more than
it was worth. Mr.. Fl. refused the offer,
and the Court appointed three disinter-

and they, after hearing all the evidence,
have awarded 81, $50, which will make
Mr.. II. pay the costs, the award being
less than than he was offered. He will
