LOCAL MENTION.

The political calculations, at late hour
last evening, indicate that Col. Joyce was
largely ahead, his list of delegates having
been largely increased by the Saturday
night caucuses.
The statement that the Bennington dele
cation to the congressional convention are
to be contested, or that protest against
their admission is to be presented is entire
ly erroneous. The delegation is Il unit for
Col. Joyce, and Willard men acquesce in
the result of the caucus, as expressive of
the sentiment of the people.
The health lectures to the ladies by Mrs.
L. b. Ryder of New York. commenced at
Simons' Hall yesterday afternoon. and

finest lady speakers before the public and
interests and delights all. Next lecture at
four o'clock this afternoon, at Sim9ns Hall,

THE BENNINGTON SENSATION
MYTH.
NOT TUE MISSING hoy.
VINO Charles Augustus Hamilton Is

The foundations upon which were built
the story that the abducted boy, Charlie
Ross, had been found at Bennington prove
to have been but magnified illusions of the
weakest kind The excitement which has
been manifested at Bennington and in that
vicinity for few days past concerning the
boy and his supposed identity has suddenly
received its dcath-blow and the sensation
is practically at an end,
We received dispatch last evening
from our Bennington correspondent which
SAYS the uncle OF Charlie Ross arrived in
Bennington on tie G 30 p. IN. train from
New York, only to have the faint hope
entertained as to the discovery of the
missing boy, again destroyed as all others
have been. The child in possession of the
officers there is not the missing boy, al
though strkngly resembling him. People
who have felt so confident of the child
proving to be the Ross boy are greatly dis
appointed.
The New York papers of yesterday
morning gave the contradiction to the ru-
NOR that the boy was found, by giving the
statement of the husband of Mrs Hamilton,
who is employed in Barnum's llippodromc
in Boston, The dispatch which the New
York press publishes is as follows

Killed.

Philip Affair, day laborcr, living at
Windmill Point, jumped on the hind end
of a passenger train, to ride out to a shanty
on the bridge between st. Adams and
Rouses Point, Saturday afternoon, August
Sth. When Lear the shanty, he jumped
from the car, and was walking on the
track, when a "bully" car, which the Sec
ton men had hitched behind the train, and
gone as far as the end of the bridge and
there detached it, struck him and knocked
him across the track, running over his
body. He got up and walked a few steps
and then fell. They took him home, and
he lived but few minutes. The section
men say they yelled to him to get off from
the track, but it is supposed the train just
ahead of him made so much noise, he did
not hear them, and did not know the car
was following the train. lie leaves a wife
and several children TO mourn his sudden
death

The district committee have been busy

Col. S. f. Pngrec of Hartford and Hugh
Henry of Chester. A prominent supporter
of Mr. Poland told me this evening that
their main theme was "any one to beat Po-
land, that they would work as hard for any
one in the southern part of the district if
they could beat Poland by so doing" The
most of the work so far done in the can

the friends of Mr. Poland, and must say
that | am surprised at the lack of enthu-
siasm that | have so far observed among
both parties.

up all hopes he eyer had any, will be pre-

an hour or two notwithstanding everything
now looks so favorable for Poland.

The Second District Convention.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Aug. II.
THE SITUATION THIS EVENING.
Already quite number of delegates to
the second district convention, which meets
here tomorrow, have arrived, and are busy
caucusing among themselves as to the rela-
tive chances of the different aspirants for
the position of representative from this
district to the next congress. The contest
has now narrowed down to Poland VS..
Denson, Judge Wheeler having positively
declined to be candidate before the con-
yention, while returns received from large
number of the towns in the district give
only very few delegates in favor of Col.
Mead.
PoLANDs CHANCES.
But the results show that Poland has
about the same strength that he had two
years ago. Among the towns that he loses
this year are Springfield, Chester, Reading,
Lyndon and others, while he makes large
gains, and among the towns carried for him
this year that two years ago were opposed
to him are Windsor, Weathersfield, Thet.
ford, Vershire, Bradford, Barnet, and Ran
dolph, the home of Col. Mead.
