licans. 161. OF the so senators all are
republicans, but one, Victor Atwood, who
was elected by republican split in
Franklin county. On joint ballot the
Legislature will stand democrats 45, re-
pubicans 800.

harm Rcynard, as they had always lived
near him, but they caught him and chew
ed him up.
Some one ridiculing county fairs in
Vermont says that he knows Of one that
consisted OF cali, goose, pumpkin
and horse. 1t rained so hard, the first
