Anothcr Presidential Nomination.

The recalcitrant free traders held an
other meeting at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel on Thursday afternoon, under the
call of Judge Stalla of Ohio. EX-Gov.
Cox of Ohio is said to have made a
speech in favor of supporting Greeley,
but it was determined to nominate a sep
arate ticket, whereupon Mr.. Cox with
drew. After a session of three hours,
the conference nominated VIM S. Groes-
beck of Ohio for President, and Fredcr-
lex Law Olmstead of New York, for
Vice-President, and made the following
resolutions
WHEREAS, At conference of gentle
men from the several States of the I'm
ion, held at New York, June Goth, it
has been cOnclusively shown that the
opposition to the reelection Of Grant
cannot and ought not to be united on Hor-
ace Greeley; therefore, be it
ReSOLued, That the following dcclara-
ton, in our opinion, contains political
principles essential to the welfare of the
American people.
Res0loed, That we, as American citi-
zens, disregarding former political affili-
atiOns, and laying aside all mere parties
and preiudices. now demand, with equal
suffrage for all, complete amnesty for
all we demand hearty and unreserYed
acquiescence in the Constitution as it
stands, accepting all amendments in
their true significance we demand
equal civil and political rights for every
citizen, and complete protection in the
of -
R6SOJUed that local self-goycrnment
with impartial suffrage will guard the
rights of all citizens more securely than
any centralized authority and we affirm
our belief in the doctrine that people are
the best governed who are governed
least. We therefore demand for each
individual the largest liberty consistent
with public order we demand for the
States government and for the ma
ton a return to the methods of peace
and to the constitutional limitations Of
power.
ResoJoed, That we are opposed to gov
ernmental patronage for party purposes
we protest against the use of public of
fees to reward political friends or to
punish political enemies; we are in fav-
or of the adoption of thorough system
of civil service reform, and we demand
a return to the early practice under our
: government of appointing men to office
on the ground of their fitness only, and
continuing them while they are honest
and efficient.
Resolged, That national taxes, wheth-
er collected under the excise or tariff act
should be imposed for revenue only, and
not for what is called protection, and
that all trade or exchange should be as
free as the necessity of the government
will permit.
ResoEced, That an act whereby the
promise of dollar is made legal ten
der in place of the true dollar 'can only
be defended as a necessity of war, and
that justice demands the redemption OF

THE DAYS OF OLD LANG SYNE-
WHAT OUR FoREFArHERs DID, - The
Argyle Washington County,, N. Y,
correspondent of the Cambridge Post
say
Few of us know anything of the hard
ships incident to the settlement of a new
country. Especially are we interested
in the early history of our own town.
In the year 1893 one of our first settlers
with his wife, sailed up the Hudson in
sloop, landing at Troy, then a small viii
lage, thence started in a wagon for the
town of Argyle After finding his tract
of land and obtaining temporary board
ing place with a neighbor, he began a
vigorous attack on the forest. A clear
ing was made in the course of the sum-
mer, a comfortable log house erected,
and housekeeping commenced. Great
difficulty was experienced in getting
leather for boots at one time he carved
out pair of wooden shoes, but he did
not have to wear them as a quantity Of
leather was purchased soon after from a
man in Salem Mills for grinding were
then of course scarce. The sturdy pio-
neer spoken of, often used to carry on
his back ten bushels of wheat two miles
through the woods to mill. The mill
itself was primitive affair, there being
but one run of stone, and all the flour
was bolted by hand. Time was very
precious then, but our hard working
fathers were always ready at the close
of the week to welcome the day of rest.
A large log church stood where the
South Argyle church now stands, and
as there was no heating apparatus, was,
no doubt, far from being comfortable in
the winter time.

CAvENDIsH.-Th railroad employees
seem to be more busy than a hen with
two dozen chickens. A friend of ours
counted over 300 cars passing here over
the road in one half day recently. In
deed but few moments seem to inter
vene all day between the passing engines
We are told that just now is an extra
time, for the bridge over the Connect
cut river, at Windsor, was weakened by
recent rains so that the freight for the
up country usually going over the Sulli-
van railroad, now goes over the Rutland
division.
Have THE HERALD readers noticed
those little box-cars at the rear of each
freight train What a comfortable
home it makes for the train men. Sure
ly the managers of the road have a care
for those who work for the public good.

that promise, and that the standard of
value be true and just, and the honor of

value be true and just, and the honor of
the nation be maintained.
Resoloed, That undue devotion to par
ty has already greatly damaged the Re
public, and we now engage ourselves to
discountenance in every possible way
the despotism of party organization and
the abject submission of voters to the
dictates of politicians.
Res0loed, That Horace Greeley does
not represent these principles, but has
been life long opponent of the most
essential of them.
Resolged, That we, therefore, reject
his nomination as we reject that of Gen.
Grant.
Reso1sed, That we recognize in Will
liam S. Groesbeck of Ohio, and Fred
erick Law Olmstead of New York, men
fully in accord with our principles, and
of character and ability as to be worthy
of the confidence of the American peo-
pie, and that we recommend them to al
patriotic, independent and liberal voters
for their support at the coming presiden.

New YORK AND CANADA RAILROAD.
A party of seven, under the direction of
w. j. Curtiss, civil engineer, of Albany,
arrived at Port Henry, last Friday, and
at once commenced work on the survey
of the New York and Canada railroad.
They are working north, as the line
south of Port Henry is already surveyed
and the company have advertised for
bids from contractors to build it. The

EXTENSION OF THE MoNEY-ORDER SYs-
TEM.-According to the new postal code,
which goes into effect on the 1st of July,
there will be established throughout the
country some 800 new money-order post
offices. With the offices now in opera
ton this will make altogether about
5000 money offices. The increase will
give New York ten new offices and Bos-
ton one. In these two cities it will
make the system precisely similar to
what it is in London, the great rush to
the main offices will be diminished, and
persons will be able to buy or receive
money-orders at their station postoffice.
The business of the present money-order
offices amounted last year to over $40,

THE STRAWBERRY CROP = A SHORT
SUPPLY-Our favorite fruit-the straw
berry-will be very scarce this season.
We've been waiting all along for it to
get plentiful +; hoping that when the
warm weather would come the delicious
red berries would accompany it. Our
hopes have not been realized, and we
have been compelled to acknowledge
that they were not hopes, bnt illusions.
1t seems that all the strawberries which
we are to have this year must be bought
at from thirty to forty cents per quart.
They are like good people, very scarce.
A gentleman residing in Watervliet, and
who is one of the largest growers in this
vicinity, is our authority for the state
ment that the crop will not be quarter
as large hereabouts as it was last year.
The protracted cold weather killed the
vines, and made them sterile. Mr. Uline
of Sandlake, who has the reputation of
leading in this county in the production
of strawberries, and who last year raised
over a $1,000 worth, will not have $50
worth for sale. So the crops hereaboats
is practically failure, and we must look
abroad for supplies for our market.
There are two or three districts where
the crop is as usual, but the extraordin-
airy demand which other localities make
for the berries has had the effect of
causing steady increase in the price
from twenty-five cents per quart to
forty, = Troy Times.

Fatal gzailr0ud Accident.
SIXTY PERSONS sOALDED.

An accident occurred at Bellevilie, p.
O., Saturday, on the Grand Trunk rail
way, to a train going from Toronto to
Montreal. An axle Of the engine broke
and the passenger cars were piled on
each other So far nine persons have
died, and over sixty are badly scalded.
The engineer was killed, and the fireman
very badly injured. The sufferers are
principally second-class passengers.
Since the above was given twelve more
of The injured by the railroad disaster
have died, making twenty-three dead
now, and others dying. Medical men
say that not more than six or seven of
the sixty-fve persons will live. The
suffering and appearance. of the wound
cd is frightful. The killed and wounded
are all second-class passengers. The
first-class all escaped unhurt. No New
Englanders are among the killed or
wounded.
SOLOMON Foor.-Few who have been
in the habit of attending the debates in
the Senate during the last dozen years
or so, but must remember the late Solo
mon Foot, Senator from Vermont.
Mr.. Foot was fine, handsome looking
man, of u dignifed and Senatorial ap-
pearance and his known and acl1nowl-
edged parliamentary experience fire.
quently led to his being called to preside
lali .1r .yNG+ lo
his conduct in the chair was marked by
grace, dignity and firmness, yet he had
his peculiarities, and one of these was
his method of enforcing his calls for or
der when the indecorium of the loud
conversation (Which was not infrequent)
interrupted the business of the Senate.
On these occasions he would, in the
sternest manner, call, "Order! Order :"
and accompanying his call with a rap of
his gavel, that to those near him, sound
ed like the report of culverin. Now
it happened once that while Mr.. Hale
of New Hampshire, was discussing the
propriety of appointing marshal for
the District of Columbia, from the
State of Indiana, he illustrated his OPP
position to such an appointment by adj
dressingthe Chair (Foote) i'm these words:
Yes, Mr.. President, if you, sir,
were Governor of Vermont, and were
to make an appointment to an Office as
important to the people of your State
as this is to the people of this District,
from the State of New Hampshire,
your constituents, sir, would raise about
your ears much greater racket than
you make, sir, in preserving order in
this chamber"
