SABBATH SCHOOL CoNvENTIoN.-The
fifth annual meeting of the Windham
county Congregational Sabbath School
Convention, held in the Congregational
chapel at West Brattleboro, June 10,
was opened by prayer promptly at 10
am, the hour appointed, Rev. G. Burn
ham, of Fayetteville, leading.
Dea. G. B. Rice, of Brattleboro, was
elected president, Rev. L. G. Chase, of
Dummerston, the county secretary, act
ing as scribe.
The convention was well attended, es-
pecially from the schools of the central
and southern portions of the county.
The executive committee of last year,
Bros. Rice of Brattleboro, Osgood OF
Bellows Falls, and Winslow of Towns
bend, consenting to serve another year,
were, :" of course," as all who know them
will say, unanimously elected.
One feature of West Brattleboro hos.
pitality will bear repeating, we think
i. e., that abundant and excellent cold
collation. which the ladies had ready al
noon and the tea hour in the lecture
room for the entire convention. 1t was
just splendid" 1t saved time. Ii
kept us together. 1t promoted social
acquaintance was good every way.
On the whole the occasion was evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed by all, and will send its
quickening thought and love currents
like feeding rills to many localities in
our county Cor. Herald.

BURGLARY AT NORTH BENNINGTON.
The depot at North Bennington was
entered by burglars last Friday night,
by opening window into the ladies'
room and from thence into the ticket
roo j. They took from the depot two
trunks, and an overcoat belonging to
Patrick MeCarty, who works in the de-
pot, who found the trunks in a freight
car that afternoon, badly broken, the
contents being scattered around it
but everything safe except cape valued
at about $500. Mr.. MeCarty found
nothing of his overcoat. This is the
second time within a year that this de-
pot has been entered, and lately they
have kept dog in the building, but a
few days ago somebody poisoned it.

was playing around the house with
young playmate named lockwood. The
lockwood boy had shotgun, and was
pointing it at young Houghton, not
knowing that it was loaded. The gun
went off, and the charge entered his
right breast. He was taken into the
house by neighbor, and everything
done for the little fellow that was in
their power, but he died in few min
utes.
A later version of the above is that
as the lockwood boy was taking the gun
out of the room the hammer struck the
casing of the door and the gun was
thus exploded.

JUDICIAL.

Reading the recent decision OF Judge
Field, of the United States Supreme
Court Bench, reminds us OF the days
when be sat on the Supreme Bench of
California and delivered opinions, which
are models for their lueidity, vigor and
aptness of expression, as well as the vast
amount of legal learning Of which they
afford such ample testimony. Those
were the palmy days OF the Judicial
history Of California, when, with Field
and Baldwin on the Bench, a code OF
law was built up that to this day stands
as firm as when those eminent jurists
announced their decisions in court.
Since then the Supreme Bench Of Cali
fornia has not been remarkable for learn
ing or ability, though ii certainly has
for delivering perplexing and discord
ant decisions. This State may be
said to be in like condition. Wher
Judge CARRIER took his seat on the
bench, the jurisprudence of the State
Immediately felt the benefit of his talents
and vast stores of erudition. and under
his vigorous handling legal controversies
were determined, which will long form
legal landmarks of the judicial proceed
ings of this State. Since Judge Garbe
left the bench, its decisions and tn
opinions by which the cases were deter
mined, have not been calculated to com
mand any great amount OF respect or ad
miration from the bar of the State
, Under these circumstances we canno
} but hope that the people at the comm
a election will weigh we'll the merits of II
|. respective candidates to these importal
n offices, and select the candidates be
"a qualified to fill the position creditab
a to themselves and useful to the Stat
n This ought to be done without any refe
Z once to party bias or utilization. Judg
, should know no party in performir
, their duties, and in choosing them POI
tics should carry but little weight.

The recent rise in the price Of stock in
the Ophir Company has attracted con.
siderable attention to the mine. The ore
on the north winze on the 1300-foot level
continues of good quality, and the ore
breasts are improving in appearance.
The assay average about $40 per
ton. The ore breasts on the 1465-foot

signs Of exhaustion, The body of ore

THE VIRGINIA THUNDE RER.

The Virginia Chronicle has been and
gone and done it, and comes out fiat
footed for General Williams, and the
Democratic ticket generally. As logi-
cal sequence to this action, the Chroni-
Gle goes for Sharon and winds up the
poor man in an astonishingly small
space. The Chronicle even. in this short
time, has made some surprising dis
coveries. 1t has found out that Sharon
has dared to do things that George the
Third would not have dreamt Of. That
he threatens the liberties of Nevada!
That it would be better that Nevada did
without her usual quota of Senators for
two. for an indefinite number Of years,
indictment. As Dick Swiveler says,
Staggerers Nos. One, Two and Three.
II after reading the Virginia Chronicle Of
the 2Sth, Sharon had any appetite for
dinner, then are we mistaken. The
Chronicle man really ought to be more
generous. II he is strong, he ought to
be merciful and not come out with such
terrible crushers all at once. If he does,
he will vanquish all his antagonists in q
jiffey, and after immolating Sharon, he
will sigh for new worlds to conquer.
However, literateur Of such power will
not be long lost in the dim obscurity Of
the Sagebrush State, for soon will mis-
sives pour in from the New York World
Heiald, and other great dailies, implor
ing the assistance of the Thunderer o.
the Comstock, who is now kicking up &
tempest in teapot, when he ought te
be riding on the whirlwind directing the
storm and hurting Jovian bolts at Others
than We poor Sharonites.
