The town of Manson, Macs, has been 70,
some time troubled by a supposiious vsi.
tsnt from tho spirit world. The ghost was

six feot eight inches tall and Of a singular

first unto youth who was going on his tri
weekly courting expedition, and caused i'm
/ o progress somewhat more celeritously than
usual. and present himself before his lady
love in breathless and disheveled condi.
ion. A quarryman was next sccosted and
thrown iuto q state of coma. The news De \
ing nosed abroad, the Villagers became ut
tsrly snbdned by fear, and ventured forth
only in bands. The luckle IS lover was soon
again interviewed by the dissgreeab.e
stranger, and the pslpitstion OF his heart
was measurably increased. The woods
were searched by trembling parties; the
roads were bushwacked by squads of armed
men, and one individual was so nervous
that he shot himself while hunting for the
ghost; aud still no ghost could be bro ug ht
to bay. At last. in some way it leaked out
that the celestial intruder vas none other
than the brother of the lovers sweetheart,
wbU took this manner of showing his disap .
probation OF the courtship. Wherefore,
Monson breathes reer.

New York. Thursday. March q


All efforts to ferret out the hiding
place of the absconding ex-Controller
Connolly have thus far been unavailing.
His counsel pretend not TO know where
he is, while Fithian, his son-in-law, and
other relatives intimate that he is not far
off, but refuse to divulgc his hiding. place.
His counsel say that he has very hard
case to try by and by, involving an i'm
mense amount Of property, and he is de-
termined not to go on the witness stand
to be badgered until that trial comes on.
The result of his hiding will probably be
the escape of the voucher thieves Hagger.
ty and Baulch, who will be admitted to
bail soon unless Connolly can be produc.
ed as witness against them.
The official report by Controller Green
to the state Senate says that the cost OF
the new court house, so far as the same
has been paid, is IS 1914, 949; furniture
and repairs, s5,2S2,229; additional
claims outstanding SO far as known
s242, $40, which are held by the Tenth
national bank. The controller has nc
means of ascertaning the other claims
but says that they are large.

STATE CoNvENTIoN.-We publish in
this issue the cali for the State Conven-
ton, to be held at Bellows Falls on the
LIST day of May to choose delegates to the
National Republican Convention. The
State Committee have taken new de.
parture by calling for the election of all
the delegates to the National Convention
instead of electing only the delegates at
large leaving each district to select its
own representatives. There is certainly
no improperly in so appointing them and
il may be the wisest course to pursue. 1t
is difficult, however, to see the force
of the arguments by which the Committee
arrived at such conclusion.
1t is claimed that under the new ap.
portionment act 1--WE have Just at
present no districts" Then VIC have the
anomaly OF three representatives in the
National Congress without constituencies.
And this anomalous condition will re-
main for full year, until the next Con-
gress assemblies on the 4th Of March
1878.

The leading republican journal of San.
Francisco, the Bulletin, treating of Gen.
Grant and his especial leaders in Congress
says; \ ever had man more occasion
10 ASA to be saved from his friends. Their
policy has tended directly to drive from
the support Of his administration all the
most conspicuous and early republican
leaders. In the Senate alone we find
such men as Sumner, who defended re-
publican principles when they brought
contumcly and violence upon him Trum-
bull, who led the fight against the reac-
tionary policy of johnson and originated
the civil rights bill and freedmens bur-
=; and Schurz, who won the powerful
German vote of the West over to the re.
publicanism, ARE scofed at and ostracised ;
while outside men like Seward, Chase
and Greeley, who are the fathers of the
party, and William Cullen Bryant and
Samuel Bowles, who are among its ablesi
journalists, are set entirely aside or de-
nounced as boilers, simply because they
preserve their manliness and exercise thu
right Of independent criticism in the in
terest of good government.

reed. The noise rescmblcd the roar of a
cataract. Suddenly at immense volume
ofblack clouds, resembling watcr-spout,
descended from the skies, whrirg like
an aerial ocean in a storm. 1t rushed
down upon the forest, accompanied by
rain and vivid lightning. Seizirg the
tallest trees, it wrcnched them from the
ground and whirled them like straws be-
fore it. 1t passed in southwcsterly d.
rection in a solid, compact body about
three hundred yards wide, cutting lare
through the woods as even in width as il
lines had been drawn beforehand to guide
its course. Wherever the dense black
cloud passed, PROSTATE trees aud fences
and ruined cabins strewed the ground

2. What is to prevent this awful de.
cline Certainly the drinking classes will
not do it. They all, from the seemingly
high and secure, down to the low and be.
sotted, unite in calling for liberty and
drink, and far asunder though they ap.

increase his treasures at the expense OF
