The Coleraine "praying band" will, 1t
is expected, conduct the religious services
in the Methodist church in this village, on
Sunday, the goth inst, commencing at the
usual hours. Also, 1t is expected they will
hold meeting in the evening"
Hon L. p. Pollard Of ST. Johnsbury,
addressed the people of this place and vi
cinity, in Glen hall, on Thursday evening,
the Sd inst, on the political issues of the
day. After a few Introductory remarks
the speaker took up topics OF national in
terest, embracing the policy and acts Of the
present administration the management
and condition of the national finances
questions involving the choice of a cliief
executive OF the government and under
which of the two leading candidates now
before the people, If elected to that position,
would the best interests of the whole cOun-
try be the most wisely served discussing
them with candor and ability in mn address
OF about two hours duration. His lucid
and comprehensive manner of expression,
and the fact Of his being personally known
to or identified with the matters of which
he spoke, made his address one Of unusual
| interest to our citizens. His remarks ellie
tied frequent applause, and the ladies, who
are generally found on the right side of ev-
| cry important question, showed their APP
probation by a liberal display of floral trib-
utes in the shape of nice bouquets of flow
ers. The Jacksonville Cornet Band was in
attendance, furnishing music as usual on
such occasions.

Returns from the October elections are
sufficiently complete to indicate, with
scarcely the shadow of doubt, that the
Greeley coalition party is doomed to de-
feat in November. The result of the cleo
ton in Pennsylvania goes beyond what APP
peared to be possible. Hartranft Is elected
Governor by over 1900 majority, although
his defeat was expected. In Ohio the Re
publican candidates are chosen by reduced
majorities, estimated at about $1,000 on
Governor. In Indiana the Republicans
claim the State, by $500 majority, though
the opposition are confident of coming in
ahead when full returns are received.
Even if such be the fact, the general result
in November is assured.
The returns received from Georgia show
that the democrats had everything their
own way, electing their governor by ma
iorities estimated at from 10000 to $4,000
In 1868 the democratic majority was 49,
900, and knowing the arrangements made
to prevent the colored people from voting
no one expected different result now
The poll tax of six dollars. which is re-
quired to be paid before any voter can de-
post his ballot, virtually DISTINGUISHES a
large proportion Of the colored voters,
while intimidation kept many others from
the polls. Even the democratic papers are
. confessing the frauds practiced and the
Violation of the rights of the freedmen and
warning the democratic managers TO pro-
coed with more caution lest the whole vote
of the state be thrown out in November.

The st. Adams Messenger of last week
has n capital article on the subject of jails,
which we quote with hearty and entire APP
one of the most important of the day and
should receive earnest and enlightened at
tention at the hands of our legislators:
The average Vermont Jail Is nuisance
more to be dreaded than the stocks and pill
lory, and it is not that which goeth into the
Jail that delileth society so much as that
which cometh out. We laugh at Delaware
for her whipping post, but it is post of
honor compared with the Vermont Jail.
We boast our enlightenment, civilization
and Christianity, and yet in one respect we
are two hundred years behind Great Brit
ain, three hundred years behind France,
aud nearly five hundred years behind Ger
many. Wecondemn the solitary discipline
of the convent and our blood chils with
horror at the tales of the inquisition, and
yet we practice an equal barbarism and Of
ten on victims as innocent as babes.
The force of custom, however, is so po-
tent, that we are ignorant Of the fact that
our law outrages justice and good morals
worse than the offenders whom ii restraints,
and so we go on stupidity, maintaining at a
heavy annual expense fourteen schools of
idleness and crime, which ought instead to
be source of moral training and material
income, and not only do we practice the alb
surdity of Furnishing criminals and trying
them aiterward, but we punish others
whom trial fully acquits and then give
them no remedy for the abuse. So far as
the public treasury and public morals are
concerned, our Jail system is a blunder.
So far as the guilty are concerned, it is an
outrage and crime.
The ordinary county Jail consists of one
room, not large, out of which opens the
cells and the private closet. Some of tho
best of them are provided also with a sep
arate apartment for females. The architect
ure and finish are on the most gloomy plan
conceivable, not because the Counties are
pehurious or feel unable to finish the solid
walls, but because the idea is prevalent that
confinement in order to be disciplinary
must be dismal. This would be more ex-
cusable if the Jail were used only as house
OF correction, but as 1t is used mostly as a
nlaceof detention, of those who are awaiting
trial and may be innocent, many of whom
arc Young and easily impressed, it is mis-
take which bears fruit in the confirmed
4 goodness of the wayward and in the dis
,orted convictions of the unfortunate. II

CONVENTION OF SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK
ERs.-The annual Convention of the Sun
day School Workers of Vermont was held
at Swanton on Tuesday and Wednesday Of
la st week. An experience meeting, pre-
liminary to the public services was held at
the Congregational church, Monday eve
ming. presided over by l.. Barker, Esq. Of
Middlebury. The next morning IL Con-
vention formally opened in the NJ. f.
church, after the appointment of Rev. j.
C. w. Coke as President, and A. NJ. Butler,
Esq, as Secretary. The address of well
come was delivered by Rev. w. Under
wood Reports were then presented by
the State, county and towns. The afternoon
session opened with an address on music.
by DIR. f. Tourjee of Boston, which was re-
plete with every possible charm, and
"charming," which was followed by Miss
Hattie n. Morris of n. Y, the well known
and eminently successful Normal instruc-
tor, who ably explained her method of
''obiect teaching" In the evening the
church was crowded, at least 700 persons
being present, and large number being
unable to gain admission. DR.. Tourjee
gave illustrations of the power and pathos
of congregational singing, proving its supe-
riority over every other form of praise, tho
audience being richly embued with the en-
thusiasm of the occasion. On Wednesday
the services were continued at the Congre-
gational church. After prayer by DR.. Sim
son Parmalee, Miss Morris further illus
trated her system Of instruction. The re-

In the PHGNIx repo,tof the windham
County Fair, there was an error in relation
to the receipts which should be corrected.
The amount taken was little over $500,
and the premium list amounted to only
$50, 80 that even + the whole premium list
was full there would have remained 500
toward paying expenses.

"A stranger who occupied the puIpit In

"A stranger who occupied the pulpit in
Baptist church near Utica, N. Y, during
the first prayer leaned heavily on tho desk
in front OF him, which proved not to be
fastened as II should have been. Suddenly
the devout raised their eyes at a startling
crash, and beheld the desk, tho Bible, the
hy mn-book, a vase OF flowers and an emp
ty goblet strewn upon the floor, while amid
the pile fioundered the officiating clergy
man. Fortunately he was unhurt, and, af-
ter order was restored, proceeded with the
services.
Daniel Webster once dined with an old
Boston merchant, and when they came TO
the wine, a dusty old bottle was carefully
decanted and passed to the host. Taking
glass and handed it to him. Then pouring
out another for himself, no held II to the
light and said: "How do you like 1t, Mr..
Webster ?" ~ think It fine specimen of
old Port" snow, you can't guess what
that cost me ?" said tho host. "Surely not"
said Mr.. Webster. 81 only know that 1t is
excellent" 81 can tell you, for I made
careful estimate the other day. When 1
add the interest to the first price, find
that it cost me the sum of Just one dollar
aud twenty cents per glass u "You don't
say So" said Mr.. Webster; and then hasti-
ly draining his glass. he presented 1t again
with the remark: "Fill itup again as quick
as you can, for l want to stop that con-
founded interest"
