Second District Convention.

The Second District Convention was
held ats'White River Junction last We'd
nesday, and Judge Luke p Poland re-
nominated for Representative to Congress
on the first ballot. !, One hundred and
fifty-three votes were cast, of which Po-
land had ninety three, against sixty for
B. HI. Steele. After the ballot, short
speeches were made by both the victori-
Gus and defeated candidates Judge Po-
land thanking the Convention for the re-
newed expression of their confidence,
promising if elected to serve them as
faithfully in the future as he had in the
past; and Judge Steele gracefully ac-
cepting the result, and thanking all his
friends for the gallant fight they had
made. Thus ends one of the States
hottest Congressional campaigns. Po-
land wins, again, a seat at the Nations
Capitol, and will, as heretofore, make an
able and popular Representative. doing
honor to himself, the State, and the
country. Judge Steele, although beaten
now, is still young and in his prime,
and if he conducts himself as honorably
in the future as he has in the past, and
his life is spared, will, we opine, win
laurels sufficient to entitle him at no dis
tant day, to seat. under the Goddess of
of Liberty. Z.

County Buildings.

Considerable Stir has been made DUR
ing the past week, throughout the county,
over the County Building question. Pc
titions drawn up by parties in Newport,
for the removal have been circulated
for signatures, quickly followed by re-
monstrances. A great pussy, good ma
tured man went a few rods in this vii
lage with his petition, but he either did
not have faith enough or else his pay
was too small, for at last accounts he
din't have two names. Judging from
what we hear of the feeling in other
towns, we think it would be safe enough
to say tn at could vote be taken on the
question to-day, three-fourths of the
votes in the county would be cast against
any such project at present.

Chicago and sundav-Rum.

ANEW law weutinto effect on the Goth
instant, in Chicago, which requires the
keepers of liquor saloons to ''shut-up"
on Sundays. The day was the most
quiet Sabbath Chicago has enjoyed in q
long time. The bar tenders showed their
disapproval Of the Jaw by opening wide
their chamber DOORS and then their
saloons, on the first tick of Monday af-
ter II o'clock at night, and keeping them
open till morning, being crowded with
thirsty individuals. The law is denounc-
ed and great excitement prevails among
the blossoms, but all peaceable, law
abiding and -cfurch-going people are
greatly pleased with the arrangement.

Railroad Smash.up.

Owing to the carelessness of switch
man, an express train going at high
rate of speed, at Portsmouth, N H., last
Tuesday, collided with the rear end of
freight train which was standing on a
side track waiting for the express to pass.
One person-Capt. Robert Norton, of
Gardner, Maine,-was killed outright,
and about twenty wounded, many of
them seriously-four or five thought to
be fatally. Two Pullman palace cars
were attached to the train, neither of
which were damaged, while the engine
and several of the other cars were badly
shattered. The engineer and fireman
saved themselves by jumping.

A brutal attempt was made to assas-
sinate Alonzo Reed Of West Randolph,
ON Wednesday of week before last Mr..
Reed was awakened by some one endeav-
oring to effect an entrance into his Sleep
ing room, and quietly arose, when the
intruder fred a pistol shot at the bed.
Mr.. Reed, who had secured his revolver,
returned the shot with such good effect
that the man was disabled, when he
proceeded to tie his hands. While SO
engaged, the confederate, who had been
on the outside, came into the room. and
with some heavy, blunt instrument,
dealt Mr.. Reed fearful blow ON the
back of the head, rendering him insen-
sible. This is the last Mr.. Reed remem-
bers of the affair until he was discover

A GREAT STEP TAKEN.

In the midst Of the Antarctic ocean little
Offthe route from New York Ia Australia there
lies large island named Kerguelcn's Land, or
ton.
1t was discovered just hundred years ago.
lin 1772,l by the French naval officer whose
name it bears. 1t was uninhabted then, and
is to-day as deserted as ever.
The smallest schoo-boy among our readers
can find it upon his map of the world, about
midway between the south end OF Africa and
Australia, well up toward the South Pole.
1t is a hundred miles IN length by fifty in
breadth, and Is consequently three or four
times large as Rhode Island.
Its coasts are so wild and dangerous that its
discoverer during the two expeditions that he
made to it, did not once bring his ships to an
Choir in any Of it's bays ana harboTs.
Its shape is very irregular, but something
like that OF an hour-glass, it being nearly cut
IN two by couple Of large bays; but these two
divisions are unequal in size. the northern pen
insula being much larger than the southern.
Its coast line is wildly broken and jagged, its
inuumer. % CULTS being long and narrow and
its promo ores are coFrespondinglv sharp and
slender reaching out into the ocean like I'm
gers.
The body OF the island indeed resembles that
OF some huge monster Of the antediluvian world
even as Its capes and headlands resemble such
monsters unsightly limbs and claws
A more terrific solitude than thIs isle Of Desc

Neither the SHOWS OF Himalaya nor the sands

No lnhabitaDt is there, not even a savape-no

snake or a wolf.

Wool Market.

The Michigan Farmer, which is
generally regarded as reliable au-
thOrity III regard to the wool mar
kets, states that it has but little to
advance on this subject during the
present week. It says there is al
ways calm before a storm, and the
wool business looks throughout the
country as if the dealers and manu-
facturers were fairly obliged to fold
their hands and wait for the crops
to grow, and come to market before
they could do anything. 1t is now
close to the first Of June, and it will
certainly be two weeks yet before
much, if any wool will be taken from
the sheep. Corn planting is not en-
tirely over yet, the weather is cool
and none Of the sheep are washed,
or likely to be for the next ten days,
unless we have much warmer wealth
er than we have yet had except for
a day or two. We can. therefore,
hardly expect the wool clip to be
offered generally in market before
the third week in June. Of course,
as usual, there will be numbers of
small, loose, rough clips that will be
first in the market, and that will be
picked up at low prices, and we shall
have these sales hcralded all over
the country as the prices at which
wool has opened.
But our wool-groweTs must re-
member that wool this year is good
to keep. We have yet seen nothing
to change our views, or those that
we have repeated week after week.
There will be a great scarcity OF
wool during this year, for there is
no chance to grow it, and we sec
that it is probable. also that cotton
may not be in such supply as to be
relied upon to make up for a de-
ficicncy in textile material, and
hence there may be an advance il
that article, which will have a ten
dency to keep wool very firm.
Buyers and dealers are talking ;
good deal about getting the new clip
