parks. II the latter department were granted

Our Now FIRE Engine.

Our new steam fire engine, the first we
ever had, arrived in New Castle the other
day, and of course the entire population of
the village TUNED out to witness the trial of
the machine. Mr.. Bob Parker secured the
post of honor as holder of the service-pipe,
and he was mighty proud of it, The en-
ginc was down at the wharf getting ready
to pump water from the river, and Parker
stood almost four hundred yards off, at the
end of u line of hose, waiting for the
stream to come so that he could squirt il
over the court house stecplc. There was
great deal of delay while the men were fix
Ing the engine, and Parker ncautiously
held the muzzlc of the pipe toward his
wastcoat while he discussed the question
Of third term for Grant with Rev DR..
Hopkins At the most interesting moment
of the debate the engine suddenly
began to work. and the next instant
two-inch stream struck Parker in
the stomach with terrible force and rolled
him over in the gutter. He felt as if the
gulf stream had been shot through him
from front to back. Then the pipe gave a
couple of eccentric jerks, smashed DR..
Hopkins hat into black silk chaos and
cmptcd hogshead Of water into his open
mouth. II concluded the exercises by get
ting into such a position that it could play

kcr seemed to lose all interest in the capa-
city of that engine. He went home for

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The republicans of Vermont are sum-

to meet at Burlington, on Wednesday, June
18th, for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for governor, lieutenant-governor and
treasurer. The convention will, of course,

towns of the state, and is to be held at the
customary season of the year, so that, in
calling the convention the state committee
have conformed to the customs and usages
of the party. The day appointed Is some
thing.less than six weeks distant, so that
the people Of the state will on the average,
have only some five weeks in which to con-
slider the questions which will naturally
come before the convention discuss the
character and fitness of the several aspi-
rants, and decide what will be best for the
state and the party In this, we think the
committee have acted wisely. We have
always believed in early nominations,

If there was no other, short canvass, as
they would call it in Massachusetts, would

lowing basis One delegate for each town,
and one for each 100 votes, and one fol

There was sharp contest over the place
of holding the convention, the claims OF
Montpelier and Rutland being vigorously
pressed, but it was finally decided by q
vote of four for Burlington to three foi

The Burlington FREE Press, in reporting
the proceedings of the committee, observes
The time fixed for the convention is about

An Awful siiicT.
HY HENRY WARD BRECHRI.

My Dear Mr.. Bonner-l am opposed to
capital punishment. 1t may be necessary
in partially civilized communities. where
the state has not the conveniencles for
lodging and feeding criminals, and must
for sclf-preservation get rid of them. But
in old communities where men may he
safely mmured, and in part, pay for the
cost of their keeping, it seems wiser and
more humane TO shut up capital offenders
for life.
Now and then, however, | would make
pet exception. There are few, lust
few culprits, who ought to he hanged in.
stanter upon conviction, and the chief of
these is the book stcaler. He is next to the
child stealer- sometimes he is worse-fOr
our neighbors often have children that one
would he glad to have stolen and run away
with.
Now | am suffering acutely from the

me preach thousands of sermons. 1t has

well remember, and when removed east
it came along also, and has with some
little repair, kept itself IN good and sound
condition. 1t was not simply Bible, but
it was my bible. had got used to it, and
it to me. | found the places sought almost
without looking. a new Bible is always
strange. One is like stranger in foreign
city, or like one in new house.
Let no one smile at this as if it were a
fantasy. 1t is a familiar truth to every one
who has to use book every day.
This Bible had become almost exclusive

faces, worn features of old men, the placid
sleep OF matrons resting from labor, young
men and maidens, exalted In their prime to

from me, and feel somewhat as Rachel
