of the Virenus were placed on board by the

but was accomplished without serious accident
The clothes and effects of the VHgnius's crew,of

After the departure of the crew the water gained
more rapidly but in the fury of the gale nothing
could be done to save her. The Osspee accordingly
towed her into somewhat more shallow water, about
10 miles from the shore. Here she gradually settled
lower and lower in the water, and finally at D p. IN
ON the 18th, she made one plunge forward and went
down. She was at this time in latitude $50 ~ 10 :,

The vessel sank in eight fathoms of water. 1t was
in the shelter formed by the FryingPan Shoals,
near the entrance to Wilmington harbor. The
shoals form breakwater, and often gave shelter
to blOckade-runners in the war; No papers OF any

are rough and desperate characters who
use the pistol and bIudgeon with consid-
cradle dexterity, and, in these fights and

might chance to be near enough to be a

THE subject of an elective judiciary
has been brought to the attention of the
New York public by a powerful address
from Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton, which. has
been printed for general distribution.
An amendment to the constitution of
New York giving the governor the pow
er to appoint Judges of the. court of APP
peals, thesuperior and some other courts
is to be voted on by the people at the
November election, and this portrayal
of the evils of the system that has
brought the judiciary of that State into
disgrace the world over, will, it is to be
hoped, lead to the adoption of the
amendment, which will make it practi-
cally impossible in future for a Barnard
or Cardozo to reach the bench.

An Elegant wedding in Castieton.

Last Wednesday, in Castleton, the
daughter of c. S. Sherman, ESQ.,, was
married to Hon. C. C. Hutchinson of
Kansas, by Rev. VIM. l.. Hines.
We learn that the wedding, at the res
idence of Mr.. G. S. Sherman, the brides
father, was strictly private, only relatives
of the family being present, and was an
exceedingly enjoyable occasion yet a
shadow rested upon the happiness OF
those present, in the thought that the
bride was to leave Immediately for her
home in Hutchinson, Kansas, fifteen
hundred miles away. Nor was this feel
ing of sadness confined to the family !;
for Mrs. Hutchinson is generally es-
teemed as a superior woman, and is
greatly beloved in her church, Sabbath
school and in the community. The poor
have indeed lost a friend-one not only
ready to relieve, but thoughtful to pro-
vide for their wants.
Mr.. Hutchinson is native of Yer
mont, but for some years resident OF
Kansas, in the town which bears bis
name, where he is engaged in the bank
ing and real estate business. The pray
ers and good wishes of all accompany
the happy pair to their home.
The rooms were tastefully embellish-
ed with flowers; the canopy under which
the couple stood during the ceremony
being marvel of floral beauty. The
table was spread with tempting viands.
The great wedding cakes from New
York were particularly fine, both to the
eys and to the taste, and the company
needed no urging to do justice to the
bountiful repast .-..
The presents were numerous, choice,
beautifully arranged, and in excellent
taste. Among these may be mentioned
the rich bracelets from Mr.. C.. S. Sher-
man, the pearl set of chaste elegance
from Mrs. Sherman, the silver and nau-
titus shell vases from Mr.. and Mrs. Cole,
a handsome silver ice-pitcher from Mrs.
Jackman, a silver and crystal card-re-
ceiver and vase from Mr.. and Mrs. E.
II. Armstrong, an elegant floral painting
on marbleized slate from Mrs. P. w.
Hyde, a splendid opera glass from Mr..
Eugene Sherman, besides many others,
equally worthy of mention.

Mr.. HlrNKs' ADDRESS. The only
agricultural address delivered al the
late Fsir and Centennial Celebration at
wallingford, was delivered by Rev. E.
M. Haynes. 1t is an able address, and
we, in obedience to the request of many
of our friends, publish it this morning.
This address was printed in the Globe
of yesterday, but SO full of outrage
Gus errors, that its author would
hardly recognize it, and much less want
to own it. By actual count there is
more than fifty wrong words and outs,
in many cases making perfect nonsense
of it as printed in that sheet. The
proof sheets from our type were read
by the author, and we think the address
as printed by US is nearly correct.

THERE seems to be disposition among
the democrats to claim the anti-monop-
oily movement in the West as democratic.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
The democratic party has always been
the friend of railroad monopoly. 1t has
tried hard to deceive the grangers into
an alliance with the democracy, but in
this it has utterly failed. Whatever is
opposed to monopoly, injustice, class,
distinction, or good government, is an
element of republican strength, and can
be counted on by US when il. comes to a
square fight. :t..E.

ACCIDENT. Our townsman General
w. y. w. Ripley came near meeting
with a serious accident yesterday. 1t
seems, that unknown TO Mr.. Ripley, his
hired man went to his carriage and took
off a nut and washer to one of the
wheels and went to a blacksmith shop
or somewhere for some little job. The
General made up his mind to take a ride
and hitched onto his carriage and start
ed, and got out into the street when one
of the front wheels came off, letting the
carriage down to the ground, throw
ing him out violently, when the horse
took fright, running rapidly down the
street, landing on the walk in front of
Curriers' store, with the carriage pretty
badly damaged. Mr.. Ripley was hurt
on one foot slightly. 1t was a narrow
escape for him.

STAND AT THE HEAD The Howe
Scales, manufactured at Brandon, now
stand at the head in that line, having so
many points of superiority over the
heretofore unequealed Fairbanks make,
that the latter have ceased to compete
with the Howe scales at State Fairs, etc,
doubtless because afraid TO have the two
compared side by side. At the great
Exposition now being held at Chicago, a
large prize was offered for the best
manufacture of scales. The Fairbanks
went in, and selected the best position.
Then it became evident that the Howe
Scale folks " meant business" and the
premium offer was withdrawn. Not
liking that way of doing things, the
Brandon Manufacturing Company, by
A. N. Gilbert & Co., their selling agents
at Chicago, published an offer of
$500 premium, inserting an adver-
tisement to that effect in the daily
papers of that city for two weeks
before the exposition opened, the
points to be competed on being accur-
acy, continued accuracy in use, econ
omy in building and use, quality of ma
terial, and style of finish This virtual
challenge was not accepted a 1000
pounds Howe scale has just been put
into the new min of Bailey & Park,
Montpelier, which is so accurate, though
not adjusted in the least since it left the
shops, that it will weigh anything, even
as small as a five cent nickel. The
manufacture of these Howe scales is
being pushed these days as never before,
but even now the supply does not equal
the demand, than which no higher testi-
monial could be paid their superiority
Hon. n T.. Sprague, Jr, president of
the Howe Scale Company, has the en-
ergy, capital and business tact, to make
these scales even a greater success in the
future than in the past, even if the
duties of the gubernatorial office should
happen to demand a portion of his time
and attention in the future. -Argus and
