The outside Buusbys who insist that
we are to have an election in this State
this year, and that farmers oranges are
rolling like an avalanche over the State,
are tapped in very sensible manner by
the St Johnsbury Farmer, which paper
had been declared to be the State organ
of the oranges, and which says that it
" is just as much the organ of the
oranges as the Republican springfield,
Mass. is the organ of the anti-Butler
party in Massachusetts," 1t appears
that not quarter of the towns in the
north part of the State have oranges,
and those that have are not troubling
themselves about election. The Farmer
quotes josh Billings that :" it is better
not to know SO much, than to know SO
much that amt So"

A meeting of republicans was held in
Boston last week to oppose the nomina'
ton of Gen. Butler for Governor. Con-
gress men Z. r. Hoar and Dawes were
prominent in it and measures we're taken
to head off Butler. Thus far Gen. Ben.
has been more quiet than in his cam
paign of two years ago. 1t will become
lively about the time they begin to twit
Butler that his grandfather was hung
somewhere for piracy. Should that
style of opposition to him be adopted
this year he may expect to be governor.

II. s. Circuit Court,

The United States court commenced
its July term on Wednesday of last week.
We had not been present at such an
opening for over twenty years. The
actors have all changed There is not
we think an officer or judge of the court
that oficiated a quarter of century
ago. At that time Nelson and Prentiss
we're presiding judges; Nelson we think
is living, but has retired. In those days
Rufus Choate, Samuel S. Phelps, Foot,
Collamer and Tracy were the lights of
the bar, every one of whom are now
gone and others take their places.
Judge Hunt of Utica, N. Y. of the U.
S. Supreme Court, and Judge Smalley of
Burlington, are now the presiding
judges the latter we think has been
on the bench of this district for about
twenty years. 1t was Judge Hunts first
appearance at Windsor and he gave a
very favorable impression. OF the pres
ent members of the bar there were at the
opening of court larger number than
formerly ; nor do they lack for talent
and fine abilities. Prominent among
them are E. j. Phelps of Burlington,
son of Judge Phelps mentioned above,
who was the first to address the court
after business commenced, and Judge
Poland of st. Johnsbury who made the
second address. Hon. VIM. M. Evarts
and Mr.. E. W. Stoughton, ofNew York
were present. OF others present who
have come to take the places of those
we rsed to see twenty-five years ago,
are Hon. Daniel Roberts of Burlington
N. Davenport of Brattleboro, Col. r.
G. Benton, of St. Adams and some 9th.
ers.

An Infatuated Swarm of Bees after
n Child.

Mr.. Tyler Brand, who lives near Lo-
gansville has a large number of "bee
stands in his orchard, near his resi-
dence. One day last week his children
were playing near the hives. 1t is sup
posed that they commenced fighting the
bees, and the bees commenced fighting
the children. They Immediately ran off
leaving the youngest child about two
years old. The cries of the child at
tracted the attention of its mother, who
was at the house sick, and she immedi-
ately ran to its relief. BY the time she
got there the bees were thoroughly infu-
rated, and the whole swarm was pour
ing out of the gum, until nearly every
bee had left it. She seized the child and
ran to the house, the bees following,
stinging the child. When she arrived
at the house, being very feeble, she
tainted. and lady neighbor, who hap.
pened to be on visit there. fearing that
the child would be stung to death picked
it up and started toward the woods.
The bees seemed determined not to
let the child escape, and followed her,
singing her so severely that she had to
drop the child, when the bees covered
it continuing to sting By this time
Mr.. Brand, who was working in field
near by, heard the cries of the children
and came to their relief. He found the
bees still lowering about the child: and
our informant states, had to rub them
off with his hands. He then took the
child to the house and went to work to
work to relieve its intense suffering. He
pulled out large number of the stings
and washed it with brandy. 1t had
been stung all over the face and head,
and even in its mouth and under its
tongue.
With the kindly assistance of some of
the neighbors, who came over as soon
as they heard of it, the sufferings of the
child and its mother were considerably
relieved, and both of them will get over
it without any serious consequences. =

Ex.Congressman Groesbeck, Goosebaok
or some such name, of Ohio, is out in
sensible letter in favor of a continuance
of the "new departure of the demoo-
racy, who, he thinks had better own up
to what others have seen for sometime,
viz, that the democratic party is dead,
and that there is no use in its pretend
ing to be alive any longer. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Groesbeck would consent
to be a presidential candidate himself.

DIR. MARY WALKERS Little Pecu-
LIARITY.-Among the passengers who
arrived at Camden station, yesterday,
from Washington, in the 2.20 p. m. train
was the well-known DIR. Mary walker,
who insists on wearing pantaloons. The
doctor was arrayed in pair Of black
pantaloons, tight-fitting blue frock
coat, the skirt of which reached below
the knees, and upon her head stylish
Mackinaw hat. Her delicate throat
was encased in Byron collar, and
adorned with white cravat, and on her
feet pair of No. 8 CATERS. Her coat
like that of Grimes, was buttoned up to
the throat, notwithstanding the warm
weather. After alighting from the
train DIR. Mary entered the ladies recep-
ton room, and by her strange wardrobe
and dashing manners, caused consider
able amusement among large number
of ladies awaiting the departure of a
train for Washington, who had never
before seen that sort of style. After re-
naming in the room for short time
the eccentric doctor left the depot and
passed up Howard street, followed by a
crowd of white and colored boys, whose
attentions did not annoy her in the
least.-Baltimore San.
