MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN. =
An adjourned meeting of the Board Of Alder
men was held last night, commencing at seven
o'clock.
Mr. French asked for the reading of the reso-
luton adopted by the Common Council, au-
,horizing the repair Of the coal wharf. He had
learned all the facts in the case from Capt
Boothe, and felt now that it was to the interest
of the Corporation that this work should be
done, and it was important that it be done at
once.
The resolution was adopted unanimously
\ resolution to reset the curb and repair the
pavement around the market, also adopted
by the Common Council, was read
Mr.. French thought that the expense Of this
should be paid out of the sinking fund Besides
these expenses We're not provided for iu the
financial schemes of the city, and there was
fear if these unprovided for expenses went on,
We would have trouble to meet the January
interest.
The resolution was laid over.
The resolution donating the old metal of the
burned bell of the Market House to the Column
bia Fire Co., adopted by the Common Council,
was taken up.
DIR. johnson said he was surprised at the
passage of such resolution, and opposed it.
purposes more properly. There were ?, l9l
pounds of metal originally in the steeple, and
it was Il question what had become OF it. tie
moved to lay the resolution on the table at least
until the committee on the construction OF the
Market House sgnihed that they did not need
this metal and his motion was carried.
\ resolution empowering the Committee on
Streets to grade Oronoko street, from Washing
ton to Fairfax streets, and Pitt street from
Princess to Pendleton, referred to the Com
mittee on Streets by the Common Council, was
opposed by DR.. johnson, who thought that
this was not the time for this expenditure IN
view of the financial condition Of the city.
Mr. French did not think the resolution gave
the committee to whom it was referred power
to do this work. He thought this one of the
most important improvements yet proposed,
and estimated that a great saving would be
made by letting these repairs, grades, &c, out
by contract. The present condition of that
part of the city was sicky and offensive. The
cost of this grading would be small.
Mr.. Simpson was in favor of this improve
mcnt if it could be possibly done. Still he
feared it could not be done at present, and the
action of the lower Board was eoncurred in.
4 petition of Lewis Mckenzie and others
asking the grading and repair Of the sidewalks
on north Fairfax street leading to the depot OF
the washington and Onl0 halrOaQ, REFERRED
by the Common Council to the Committee on
Streets was read.
This was opposed at considerable length by
DR. johnson
Mr. Simpson stated that it was important
that something should be done for these side
walks; they were in miserable condition.
The action of the lower Board was concurred
in referring the petition to a committee.
DR.. johnson offered resolution to meet
hereafter at half past seven instead Of seven
o'clock as is the present rule. 1t was adopted,
and the Board at eight clock adjourned.

The following are the Resolutions
adopted by the Republican State Con-
vention:
Resolved. That the mission of the
Republican party is not ended, that its
continued existence is alike demanded
by love of country, love of humanity and
the safety of the noblest form of govern
mcnt upon the earth.
Resolved, That the enemies of consti-
tutional liberty in their efforts to restore
to power the Bourborn elements of des-
potism and oppression so signally routed
and overthrown under the efforts of our
brave soldiers, led ON by Generals un-
surpassed in bravery and gallantry in
the world, only show their desire to re-
instate policy at war with the true in
terests of the nation and subversiye Of
the rights of man.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse
the platform adopted by the National
Republican Convention at its last ses.
sion in Philadelphia, and we believe
that the principles there announced and
to be carried out by Republican ad
ministration. will advance the moral anc
material interests of our whole country
during the next four years than those
interests have been advanced during an,
four years of its history.

RE-DISTRICTING THE STATE.

We understand that there is consider
able talk in various quarters, of re-dis-
tricting the Congressional Districts of
this State by Legislature next fall. Our
present districts are certainly unequal.
In 1860 the population of the several
districts was as follows:
FIRST DIsTRIoT-Addison county,
24,OlO; Bennington county, 1876;
Washington county, 1852. Making
total of 10Y ,0O4.
SECOND DIsTRICT-Caledonia county,
2l,7OS: Orange county, 26,3S2; Wind
sor county, 26,9S2; Windham county,
1913. Total, Ill, 1888.
THIRD Observation-Disclosures county,
2S,171 /; Essex county, $3.50; Franklin
county, 27,231; Grand Isle county, f.
276; Lamoille county, 12,4l1; Orleans
county, 1891; Total, 96,756.
Total population of all the districts,
315,O99.
The first district contained 1O,54S,
and the second 1852 more population
than the third district.
The population of the same districts
by the census of 1860 was: First Dis
trict 1880; second District, 1O9,-
S97 third District, 111,147; total,
10000; the greatest difference being
between the first and the second, the
former having 5,O93 more than the lat
ter.
In addition to this disparity of popu-
lation, our present districts are incon-
venient in regard to assembling in some
common center. The most equal plan
of re-districting which We have heard is
the following, and the one which we pre-
sumo will be adopted in case any change
| is made.
FIRST characterization, Rutland,
Bennington and Windham counties,
Ill 1896.
SECOND DIsTRIcT-Windsor, Orange,
Caledonia, Orleans and Essex counties
100, 249. IL
THIRD DIsTRIcT-Chittende Frank
lin, Grand Isle, Lamoille and Washing
ton counties; 109,9O9. Total $50, 551.
Greatest difference, $3.50.
1t might, however, be thought best, in
case the state was re-districted, not to
have it take effect until the Congression-
al election two years from next fall
This course would undoubtedly settle all
talk about its being done in reference tc
any political action as effecting the next
election, and would perhaps be better il
the end for the state, and all concerned

A MAD STALLION.

Fearful Encounter Bet,oeen Teamster
and his Horse.
On Wednesday, June l4th, Mr.. Will
liam Richardson, we'll known teamster
of this city, was travelling through the
country with stallion attached to a
light gig. He stopped at Money Creek
to fill two or three engagements, and as
he was about to hitch up again. the an
imal, seeing the gig, showed signs of be-
ing unruIy and disobedient Mr.. Rich
ardson went to his head and was about
to take hold of the bride with the left
hand, when the horse caught him savage
ly by the wrist, and in spite of Mr.. RS
struggles, bit him in horrible man.
ner. In vain did Mr.. Richardson en-
deavor to force open the mouth of the
Infatuated animal with his right hand,
but the teeth of the horse closed upon
the wrist like wise, cutting through
the flesh and bones, and holding him
with grip of iron. At the same time
the horse tried to crowd his master un-
der him, but one of the thills was. fortu-
nately, through the harness on that
side and acted as guard, otherwise, Mr..
Richardson would probably have been
trampled to death.
Meanwhile the cries of the unfortu-
nate man for help had brought woman
to the rescue, but she was powerless to
afford relief herself, and accordingly
started to bring help, half mile dis
tant, while the master and his wild stall
lion went on. At short distance the
woman met a man coming along with a
horse, and she called upon him for as
sistance The man hurried to the scene
and upon his arrival the stallionsreleas-
ed his hold of Mr.. Richardson and made
a grab with his teeth at the new conner,
who barely escaped with a large piece
taken out of his coat sleeve The ugly
beast was subdued after considerable
hard work, and attention was turned to
Mr.. Richardson, who, although weak
from the awful conflict through which
he had passed, was still very brave, and
never tainted from the effects of the ac-
cident. He was brought to this city
and examined by the surgeons, who
found the left arm dislocated both at the
elbow and shoulder, besides being SO
frightfully mangled at the wrist as to
necessitate amputation. Since then Mr..
Richardson has been getting along as
we'll as could be reasonably expected
under the circumstances.-W inona Re.

Arrangements are in progress to Sc

This occasion will undoubtedly call
together large crowd from Vermont
and New York who will visit this spot,
so marked in the early history of our
country, especially in tie struggles of
Vermont for separate and independent
existence.
The remains of the old fort and the
military works, now crumbling ruins,
still attest their original splendor and
strength. They are now guarded and
preserved by private taste and intelli-
gence from vandal outrages which were
rapidly destroying them. Winslow G.
Watson, the excellent historian of Essex
county, says, 1--WE may cherish the hope
that the most extensive and imposing
ruins in America, redolent with the
brightest historical associations and be-
coming shrouded in the venerableness of
antiquity, will be perpetual to excite
the admiration and to attract the pilgrim
age of future ages. These fields are
now titled in the peaceful pursuits of in
dustry.'
In the vicinity Ct Ticonderoga, balls,
muskets,, swords, and numerous other
relics of war are being constantly reveal
ed. At one time the line of the fatal

spot where the harvest of death had
been most exuberant. The course of

gularly complex and interlaced, may
readily be distinguished. Part of the
battlements, rising above the rocky cliff
are almost entire The line of the ram
parts is still traced; the ruins of a
portion of the barracks remain, al
though private cupidity has removed
much of the brick and stone of the build,
ings. The bakery is in a state of good
preservation.
The first Field Day of the Vermont
Historical Society at Ticonderoga, bids
fair to be a grand success.

Where is that enthusiastic poetical
gymnast who wrote that crazy piece of
poetry entitled "The Beautiful snow ?"
Why not give us something on the beau
tiful rain of which we have had such
plentiful supply of late? The snow
storm is no more to be compared to the
music of good smart thunder shower,
than the song of daw-bug is to be
compared to the tremendous huzzas of
Gilmore great jubilee. Look yonder
to the mountains in the west and watch
that great black thunder-cloud, rising
up over the tree-tops,-so black It's
fairly blue-and at first glance, you
scarce can tell whether it be cloud or
sky; but as the white '.scuds". pass
hurriedly along the horizon, you see the
thanksgiving dart behind the hill, fol-
lowed by distant cannonading from
Him who rules the storm, and then YOU
feel thrill of the insignifcance of man
and of the power and grandeur of the
coming panorama, the tremendous roar
of which sounds like the roar of the
mighty ocean. Now get away under
the roof and hear the first signal-drop
strikc-the videt's warning-then few
stray drops, which come thicker and
faster until it seems that not only a
picket-line but whole grand army Of
musketry were pouring down; the trem-
bling flashes of the binding lightning,
and the heavy thunder-bolts which seem
to 60 booming along the line make up
the artillery, and the battle of the ele.
ments seems complete-then it is that
there's music in the air-and beauty
too.

Convention, viz: Ulysses S. Grant and
Henry Wilson, =
We believe in their honesty, frmness
and success.
Werely upon the qualities that gave
us Vicksburg, that drove Lee into Rich
mond, that drove Lee out of Richmond,
and that shone in magnanimity at APP
pomattox Court House. We believe,
too, in the consistent friend of the freed
man and the labcring man everywhere
Henry Wilson, whose head and heart
have remained undisturbed by long con-
tinuance In Office With these tried
leaders at the front we guarantee to the
Republican party of the country that
Vermont still continues the star that
never sets, and that in November next
we shall show such vote for the Re-
publican nominees as will silence the
guns of the opposition for four years to
come.
Resolved, That we believe in State
policy that shall educate every child
within its borders, train the able bodied
for the defense of the State in time of
need, suppress crime and punish every
breach of law, restrain vice, pay the
state debt with the least possible burden
to the people, encourage mining and
manufacturers, while we do not neglect
the interests of agriculture, and so man.
age the entire interests of the common
wealth as to keep our young men within
the borders of Vermont.
Resolved, That the illegal traffic in
intoxicating drinks, is a prolific source
of temptation, poverty, taxation and
crime, causing needless and heavy bur-
dens to fall on many innocent citizens.
1t is therefore the duty of the state, in
accordance with its highest interests and
its present settled policy, to protect the
people, from the evil and the results
that follow such illegal sale.
Resolved, That we fully and heartily
indorse the nominees of this Convention
and we pledge ourselves and those we
represent, to renewed labor in the cause
of Republican principles, that their
election may not only be assured, but
that it may be foretaste of the utter
defeat, in November next, of Greeley
principles and Cincinnati platforms,
and Democracy, present, past and future
whether represented by men or plat.
forms.
