The question having been raised how
Mr.. c. N. Davenport of Brattleboro
voted for governor, it has been settled
that he voted for Peck, whereupon some
of the democratic papers speak,of him
as "a poor democrat" Considering that
Mr.. Davenport early advised the demo-
cratic party Of this State to vote for the
republican candidate, there does not
seem to be anything surprising that he
should have so voted himself.

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-A good many
years ago, says the Rutland Herald in
one of Vermont's rural towns case &C.
cured which has seldom, if ever, been
paralleled IN the history of litigation.
Captain a. shot and killed dog be-
longing to his neighbor, Smith. The act
was charged upon one G., and suit was
brought against him to recover damage.
The case was tried by a jury before
justice of the peace, and Captain A. sat
as juror. Circumstantial evidence was
presented to prove that G. shot the dog,
and jury agreed to return a verdict of
guilty. Several years after the trial
Captain A. acknowledged that he killed
the dog and defended his course in rem
iering verdict of guilty against G. on
the ground his jurors oath required him
to decide the case according to law and
evidence, and it was fairly proved, he
said, that G. killed the dog.

SHOOTING MATcH-At the interna.
tional rifle match at Creedmoor, L. l.,
the Americans won the first event of 800
yards by 1926 to 317 for the Irish team,
Fulton of the Americans made fifty
eight, and Hamilton made the same for
the Irish, being the best shooting ever
witnessed. After shooting at 500 yards
recess of two hours was taken for lunch
during which a magnificent silver vase
was presented by Major Leech on behalf
Of the Irish team to the American team,
to be competed for each year. The priz-
es were presented to the winners by Lady
Massarene. The last shot of the match
was fred by Col. Bodyne, the Americans
being then one point behind the Irish.
Col. Bodyne hit the bulls-eye, scoring
four and winning the match for the
Americans.
In this match the Irish contestants
who rank first in Europe with the rifle
are very enthusiastic in their admiration
of American shooting, and in this con
nection the Boston Globe we'll says that
there is nothing more gratifying in the
success of the American team at Creed.

vanquished to the skill of our marksmen
The absence of that petty jealousy which
is apt to disfgure international contests
is very noticeable in this trial, and such
magnanimous spirit is characteristic Of
the hearty generosity Of the Irish nature

THE COFFEE CROP FOR 1874-Ac
cording to the Dutch Trading Compsny's
official statement of the coffee crop for
1874, it appears that the total amount is
100000 cwt., or 100000 tons. Upon
this assumption it will appear that there
will be no scarcity in any of the markets
of the world, and a decline in prices
may be set down as certainty.

SECOND DAY.
As indicated last week, the attendance
was greatly increased, and much interest
prevailed, AT 90 o'clock the trial of
skill came off in match game OF base
ball, between the Bellows Fall Nine and
the Alphas of Springfield, in which the
former were successful q to s. Some
1000 people witnessed this game. Later

Bellows Falls Nine, by Hon. VIM.
Rounds. In the afternoon it was esti.
mated that 5000 persons we're present at
the time of DIR. H. S. Mobiles address
DIR. Mobiles address was received with
much favor. He closed with appropri-
ate reference to the spirit of enterprise
which had been manifested 10 their first
town fair, which was q nucleus for the fu-
ture Of that place and the adjoining
towns.
At the conclusion Of the address Mr..
D. d. Williams offered resolutions, which |
will be found in another place. Gov.
Fletcher was then called out amid much
cheering. He spoke in very happy |
vein, and kept the audience in roar of
good nature by his never failing fund of
spice and humor, the audience again
showing their appreciation by very
hearty applause at the close.
THE RACES.
The foot race was won by F. n. Hor-
ton of Ludlow, So, distance half mile,
time 2:24. The sack race, for bag of
peanuts, had six competitors and was |
won by A. d. Ellison of Baltimore.

est. We give the results. The Arabian
Girl, Geo. A. Weston, won the silver
cup valued at $40, in three straight
heats At the close of this race Hugh |
Henry presented the cup to Mr.. Weston,
in well-timed speech, in behalf of the
association.
The Chester Cornet Band, furnished
excellent music during both days of the
fair, adding by no means mallpart of
the pleasures of the festival.
Wait, r. Deming of Brandon, won
the first purse of $40. Second, $50, to
Dirigo Chief, BF.Ellison, North Spring
field. Third, $40 to Night Watch, A.
Mccoy, Ludlow.
The fair was financial success as well
as otherwise, the receipts amounting to

industry, the farmers and those of other
occupations, have united in the exhibit
ton and made it one to which they can
look back to with pleasant memories.
