HARDwicK. The County Convention adopted
resolution providing that in future conyen-
tons towns should be represented by delegates.
This change would seem to be desirable on
some accounts, as it will, in effect, compel each
town to settle its own local questions at home,
instead Of intrudng them upon the delibera-
tons Of the convention. A marked illustra-
ton of the latter condition of things was
afforded by the town Of llardwick, at this con-
vention The question at issue was the oandi-
date for Sheriff, and resulted in over one hun
bred and sixty persons Zone hundred and fifty
yention, and there renewing in all its bitter
ness the disgracelul lacional fight in which
our community is plunged.
Mrs. S. A. Goss was thrown from a wagon
the 9th ult., and broke her wrist. The wheel
coming in contact with large stone in the
road, is reported 10 be the cause of the accident
Geo. Haynes barn was struck by light
ming on the evening Of the Goth ult,, and
slightly injured, tearing or some boards, and
splintering nilers and posts to some extent
which few dollars will repair.
Monday, June 20th, was the warmcst day

six degrees in the shade, in the forenoon
Clouds and showers in the afternoon modifeC

DISASTROUS FRS IN WiLLIAMsrowN.- This
village was visited by tremendous thunder
storm, on Thursday last, which will long be
remembered by our inhabitants. When the
storm was at its height, about six o'clock in the
afternoon, a terrific flash of lightning struck
the barn of Mr.. Albert r. Martin, instantly
splitting the barn in two, and setting on fire the
hay and other combustiblcs contained therein
The fire spread with great rapidity to the shed
and house of Mr.. Martin, and to the hotel barn
adjacent, and before any check could be made
to its progress, these buildings, together with
the hotel and hotel shed, were burned to the
ground. messenger was at once sent to
Barre to procure their fire engine, there being
none in Williamstown, but before It arrived
these buildings were all in ruins. Desperate
Efforts were made TO save the building occu-
pied for store by Edison Martin, and owned
by Simons x Gale, which were at last crowned
with success The goods were, however, con
siderably injured by moving them out into the
rain. Mr. Martins loss was about $1,000,
upon which he had an insurance of $1,000,
which will be somewhat reduced By tho por-
sonal property saved. The hotel building was
owned by MIR. Chester Sanborn, of Barre
Considerable of his furniture was saved from
the flames, but was badly broken up in the
process. Mr. Sanborn's insurance was 5000,
and he estimates his loss at SO 500, Mr. Mar
tin had Just returned from the trot at Barre,
and was embarrassing his horse when the
barn was struck, 1t was certainly very fortu-
nate for him that he was not few moments
earlier. The blow is severe one TO this vii
age but it is to be hoped that another hotel
may soon be built upon the site Of the one just
destroyed

VINO is TO BLAME2-We have received
communication, the length Of which excludes
it from our columns, from prominent citizen
Of this place, who complains bitterly Of the
accommodations offered by the railroad com
pany for the return Of those attending the pic
mic on the Fourth at Groton Pond, lie and
his daughters, with about two hundred others,
one-haf Of whom were women and children,
were obliged to wait at the extemporized depot
until 10 O'Clock at night before they were taken
anywhere nearly driven frantic with gnats and
mosquitoes, and without sufficient clothing to
render them comfortable in the damp of the
evening 1t certainly seems as if there was
fault somewhere for such treatment, as the Of
hcors of the road certainly knew how many
people there were to bring back II they did
not know how many there were to carry up.

such that they are unable to bind their sue
