Breaking Ground for a New Party.

A Washington special to the New
York Graphic says: The new party
movement is at length fairly under way.
Some 10 western members Of Congress
have recently adopted a platform which
they propose as the nucleus of a new
party organization. THIS platform runs
somewhat as follows -
First, a call for a constitutional con-
veniion to effect several changes 10 the
fundamental laws Of the United States
among which will be (a) the election Of
the president, vice president and senator's
directly by the people (b) subordinating
all corporations to the national govern.
ment /; (cl disallOwing e special provision
to any corporation; ld) adding largely to
the authority of the general government
in matters effecting transportation and
the trades of the country (e) making such
banking provisions as will allow the gen.
eral government TO institute banks under
Its own authority.
Second an Immediate agitation for com
mitting Congress aud the nation at once
to the carrying out of the scheme of the
hive greatartlicial water routes recommend.
ed by the transportation committee of the
Senate.
Third, the construction of at least two
direct freight railways, under the author.
lily OF the general government, so as to
regulate the charges on the main lines Of
the country.
With regard to the currency question,
the majority Of those who attend are in
favcr OF imitation, but. as yet, it is not
made a cardinal doctrine of the new par.
ty. They will walt the course Of events.
The new combinations are made without
reference to old party lines, ard it is stat.
cd that a no less distinguished politician
than Senator Morton will be its leader.
The movement has the countenance. 1t is
said, of Logan, but the bulk of its adj
herents are members of the House of
Representatives.

CASE OF PETRIFIoATIoN.--On the Dist
day Of March, 1872, Alanson Dyer, aged
II, an old resident of Rutland died of
congestion of the lungs. He was buried
On the 24th day or the same month in the
cemetery on West street. commonly
known as the old cemetery. On Wednes-
day, she 18th day of the present month,
the remains were disinterred for the pur-
pose Of removing them and having them
inferred in Evergreen Cemetery. The
removal of the coffin aud remains were in-
trusted to the management of Mr.. Horace
Bateman. On the day above named.
Mr.. 3ateman, with five other men, after
removing the clay proceeded By the
method usually employed in such cases to
raise the coffin. This they at once found
a great difficulty in doing. Owing to
the great weight of the coffin they found
it almost impossible to raise it even the
slightest distance After getting ropes
over each end they were forced TO the ex-
pedient of roising one end at a time a few
inches, and blocking it in that position By
shoveliDg clay underneath. Then they
would take the other one in the same man.
ner. They worked in this way until they
had it on top of the ground. They found
a difficulty in getting it up in this way
even, as it required the combined strength
of four men to raise one end. After
their exertions in getting the box up, it
became a question among them as to what
could make the extreme weight, and
whether there might be a metallic case
inside. To set doubts at rest, they resolv.
ed on removing the cover of the outside
box. This they did aud found that the
casket had fallen to pieces, exposing the
perfect form Of the deceased. The color
Of the face was somewhat altered, aud
one ear decayed away, but aside from
these changes the features and form
were perfectly preserved, even to the
whiskers, which look as natural as life,
The clothing also was iu a good state oil

fact to anybody, they replaced the cover,
placed the box in tho wagon and had il
conveyed to Evergreen Cemetery, where
it required the combined efforts Of seven
men to place it IN the grave. Mr. Dyer

about LAG pounds. The man who owns

County Politics.

The people IN this county, like those 10
others, have commenced 10 "meDtion'
their preferences for men to Gil the vari'
Gus stations on the county ticket. OuI
readers will recollcct that at the last con
v~entiou, n resolution strongly endorsing
the a. one term principle" was unanimous
ly adopted. and the spirit Of that resOlu'
tion seems as rife to-day as when adopted,
aud we understand, none of the presen,
j ,cumbeuts expect or will ask for a recon
i%uatiou.
For the Office Of Senator, We believe II
is now generally conceded that Maj. e.
8. Page of this town will be the nominee.
lie having well served his town in the
House, it will certainly present him for the
Senate, and so far as we can learn, will
be met with but little if any opposition.
Hon. r. F. Parker of Wolcott. has also
been iavorably sToken Of, and is yet IN
the field. For county judges we have
heard the names Of X. X. Wait. Esq, Of
Stowe, A. b. Smith, ESQ. and Luman
Wheeler Esq Of Morristownr JIM. Wilcox,
Bsq., Of Cambridge and Ear Guycr, OF
Wolcoti, in connection with the office,
either of whom are we'll fitted and would
crcdiiably gil the office. For Sheriff the
candidates are moro numerous, as the
names of Mason Chaffee aud s. Il. Miller
Of WatervilIe, d. g. Hardy of MOrrisville,
j. Nj. Parker of johnson and j. 7. Stew
ems of Eden. Though the latter gentleman,
we understand, will not allow his name to
be used). Among these, the chances Of
Mr.. Chaffee are considerably the best, as
his town, not having been honorcd By a
representation on the county ticket, will
strongly urge their claim in his behalf,
which in justice, should be and doubtless
will be cheerfully accorded. For Judge
OF Probate, Hon. L. p. Mudgett of Cam
bridge is the only man we have yet heard
named. We do not know as he desires
or would accept of the Office; yet we feel,
that if he were elected. he would ably per-
form the duties Of the office. The States
Attorneyship will probably dcvolve on
VIII H. Ken6eld Esq. Of this town, and if
so into good hands, as his Is the emily name
mentioned in that connection. No one
has been named for High Bailiff of the
county, for it has been considered an of.
fee of but little Importance. 1t is liable
to become of great Importance. as in the
event of death or removal of the Sheriff,
the Bailif takes the position, and a good
man should be chosen. Doubtless many
other names will be brought out before the
convention, but if no worse ones than those
above indicated, the party will present a
strong aud able ticket.

SINGULAR PHENoMENi. There have
been displayed at the residence of Colonel
Samuel s. Brown 10 Burlington, some
wonderful phenomena, which the so.called
" medium" Mr. Henry 3. Allen of Hyde
Park. and some of the circle. who have
witnessed the manifestations attribute to
spiritual influence. But the major part
of those present have been persons who
were entirely skeptical, as to their tn.
earthly origin. Last evening, upon invi.
tation Of the Colonel, the writer attended
a seance and found the company composed
of some twenty-five persons. eight or ten
of whom were ladies and the rest gentle
men, and all we'll known in the city.
About half past eight, the room was
darkened and a circle was formed around
a table by all taking hold of hands. the
writer having hold of the left hand Of the
medium.
Upon the table was placed a banjo, and
bells of various sizes, including two large
dinner bells. In rear of the table and OF
Mr.. Allen was an oil .fashioned dulcimer,
weighing perhaps fifteen pounds, and two
chairs resting agains. the wall. Soon the
musical manifestations began first the
banjo tunmed, then the bells rang, aud
ere long The dulcimer joined its notes to
the concert. These demonstrations con.
tiuued at intervals, together with the pass
ing Of instruments through the air, around
the room, and over the heads Of persons
in the circle /; the tanning of all by unseen
hands, repeated tremendous raps, and in
the case of the writer three unmistakable
knocks from what seemed a fist on bis face
and head. The manifestations occupied
abou, an hour and a half, when the chap
who seemed to do the dulcimer business
,cent for Mr.. Allen severely. that gentle
man being forcel out of bis chair and
thrown on the floor, despite all the efforts
Of the writer, who was almost dragged
with him. The lights were then turned
on. when were discovered upon the table
the two chairs and the dulcimer before re.
ferred to. There were also other minor
manifestations, and a light circle, in which
many in it commended they saw hands. and
oil certainly saw a banjo which had been
covered with a shawl thrown upon the
floor before them. But We have not the
space for further details Of these singular
phenomena. save to say, that we cannot
believe they we're produced by any trick.
Mr.. Allen is . respe ctabte young farmer
Of Hyde Park, and about % yearsofage.
He claims to have been a medium OF
this force since he was five years old. A
visit to him will certainly repay inquiring
and scientific persoDs.-Frse Press.

The following Is the apportionnent Of Delegates
for Lamoille county az established BY the call

The State Convention having been called,
and in this District, a District Convention.
the present aud the coming week will be
the occasion for holding town causes for
the selection of delegates or representa-.
tives. Heretofore these matters have been
treated with quite too much indifference
by the freemeu of the State who have ap.
peared to be almost unconscious Of the
rights and privileges they enjoy, and also,
unmindful of their duties in connection
with matters pertaining to The highest in
terests of themselves and others. All ap.
pear to see the importance of having good
and competent men to gill the offices of the
State yet with many, the great error OF
difficulty consists in their want of conf.
dence in their own strength and ability, al
we'll as a want of consciousness of their In.
dividual duties. The District Convention

we hope to see it fully attended for though
VIC do not think there will be ony opposi.
ton to Gov. Hendee's denomination, DO
town 10 the district should fail o be rep.
resented by its full number of delegates.
At the State Convention to be held a
week later, a new man is to be put in the
field, and a greater reason exists, perhaps,
why every town in the State should be
fully represented. So We hope all will be
willing ard anxious to devote a little
time to the preliminary meetings.
We have on several occasions heard ir.
timations that the Patrons Of Husbandry
