Present, the Hon. JOHN PORTER, Judge.
HENRY BARNES Estate, Woodstock, in
tor of the estate of said intestate, presents to
said Court his petition in writing as follows
To THE PROBATE COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF
HARTFORD
Ashley Wyman, Administrator of the estate
of Henry Barnes, late of Woodstock, in said
District, deceased, represents to said Court,
that the said deceased was at the time of his
death the owner of certain real estate, to-wit
farm consisting of one hundred and five
acres, more or less, situated in School District
No. 5, in the westerly part of the town of
Woodstock, which was occupied by the de-
ceased as homestead that he left widow
and srndry heirs that it would BIO beneficial
to said heirs and those Interested in said
estate, by reason of all the said heirs residing
out of the State of Vermont, that the whole of
said real estate should BIO sold, although the
| same may not be necessary for the payment of
debts and charges, And said Administrator
now makes application for license and authori-
| ty to sell the whole of said real estate and all
other real estate belonging to said deceased,
| if any such there be, within this State, subject
| to the rights of the widow, but including the
reversion of the widows dover And
said Administrator further represents, that
MARY l., BAkNEs, the widow of said deceased,
is supposed to be entitled to a homestead in
said real estate, not exceeding five hundred
dollars in value, and that severance of such
homestead would greatly deprecate the value
of the residue of the PREMISES and said Adj
ministrator mskes still further application that
| said Court order said homestead to be sold
accordingly.

Grants Third Term.

The Washington Daily Republican,
of Tuesday Aug. 25th, which claims
to be the Administration organ, pub
lished four.column "Lcader," advo-
eating the reelection of Grant to a
third term. The article states that
the idea is as old as the Government
itself, and has always been a subject
of difference and disputation. Wash
ington was requested to run third
time for reasons which are clearly set
forth IN the article. 'Thomas Jetfer-
son, the canonized saint of the Dem
ocracy, was similarly honored, so
were Madison and Monroe. John
Adams is a stronger authority on what
ever side he is quoted, and we find
him, toward the close of his life, Civ
ing his Judgment against the reasons
which induced the earlier Presidents
to decline to be candidates for third
term" The article concludes-"lt
Gen. Grant desires the Presidency for
a third term he can have it, for the
people have learned to trust the hand
that has guided the ship Of State safe
ly through so many perils, and they
will keep him at the helm as long as
the exigencies of the State may need
him and his willingness to serve the
country may make him valuable. Let
Gen. Grant, then, again be put before
the people for reelection; the people
will confirm the choice of the nations
councillors, following both national
precedent and national liberty Of will. v
If there ever was an election in this
country conducted upon falsehood,
fraud, malice and corruption, it was
the Presidential election of last year
The Democracy during that cam
paign charged the Republican party
with various corruption" transactions
all of which they stoutly denied but
before the electoral votes were badly
counted the ''things' charged, were
proved too true for denial. During
the election the Republicans frauded
the statement that President Grant
would ecen be candidate for the
third term, as utterly false. The
reader can now see by the quotation
made above from Grants Washington
organ, how true that denial will pro-
badly prove. With this statement
we leave the matter for the present.

paid, ten cents Of which was gener
