AN OBSTINATE SExToN.-The people OF
Vermont village are excited, aud it all hap
pened in this way: A deacon of their church
died the other day and the sexton dug the
grave all right, but demanded the sum Of So
for the Job. This was deemed exorbitant by
the friends of the lamented deceased, and they
objected paving it, whereupon the sexton lock-
ed up the tools used in the cemetery and went
home. In the meantime new sexton was APP
POINTED for the occasion, and as sexton num-
Der one refused TO give up the keys, number
two broke open the Toulouse and the tools
were secured On Sunday, time of the fnner-
al, the "bier'' was missing. Search was made
and it was nowhere to be found. Some one
got an idea that it might be locked up in the
tomb, and went for it with sledge-hammer
or some other ponderous weapon The bier
was secured, and the remains were carried to
their final resting place.

THE RIGHT OR LEFT ARM.--The question
whether gentleman walking with II lady,
should give her his right or left arm, is fire.
quently discussed. Custom and written eli
quette are in favor Of the right although there
are excellent reasons in behalf Of the left arm.
Either one or the other, permanently retain
ed, is vastly better than the absurd habit OF
changing arms so as to place the lady on the
inside OF the promenade. One advantage, OF
giving the left arm is that the person on the
right naturally takes the lead, so that, in the
country or city, in the street or park, he Thus
readily directs the way, Instead of waiting to
consult with his companion, or causing jost-
ling by each of them trying to move in oppo-
site points. Another advantage is, that in a
crowded thoroughfaie such as Broadway, for
example, where the sidewalk is invariably en-
numbered with merchandise and thronged
with people, gentleman needs his right arm
TO remove distractions and keep rude or care
less folks out OF the way.--Scrijner for June.

DEMOCRATIC STATE cosvEsTIoE.
PORTLAND, June 23--The Democratic State
Convention met this morning, a goodly NUM-
Der of delegates being in attendance. -Four
hundred and twenty-two delegates were pre-
sent. Organization was effected, and a Com
mittee on Resolutions appointed. Hon. Jos.
A. Titcomb was nominated for Governor by
acclamaton. The Committee on Resolutions
reported. They declare that they regard a
currency based on specie resumption as the
only one upon which the business OF the coun-
try can be safely trusted, and hold that we
should as rapidly as possible approximate to
such a circulating memium; declare for free
trade and unfettered and unrestricted COM
merce; declare that the recent action of the
Republican majority in the Senate to establish
a censorship of the press at the National Capt.
tai discloses a purpose TO silence all criticism
OF the conduct of public men, and demands
the severest condemnation; protest against
overawing and prostitution of the governments
OF the several States; declare in favor of civil
service reform declare that the undeniable
corruptons pervading all the departments Of
the General Government are themselves ample
arguments against continuance of the party
now in power, and proof that it deserves the
righteous Indignation Of the people, The reso-
buttons were adopted scriatm, and, after the
appointment of a committee to notify Mr.
Tiicomb Of his nomination, the Convention
adjourned

A FORTUNE WON.

We find the following in recent New York
daily journal: Miss Selma Garfield Gibbs, a
beautiful and accomplished young lady, gain
ed verdict in her favor before Judge Van
Brunt yesterday, the question involved being
her legitimacy and her title TO about $50 000
In 1853, when she was about niue months old
she was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Edward NJ .
Gibbs, who reared and educated her as their
own child. Until about year ago she did
not know that she was not the child of her
putative parents, who had kept their secret so
well that even their own brothers and sisters
were not cognzant of the facts. In 1865 Mrs
Etiie Simmons died leaving about 500, 900 to
her two sons, Peter and William. The latter
had been many years married, but Peter, who
bad become very dissipated, lived most of the
time with his mother, and was supported by
her though he absented himself much of the
time. William Simmons took possession OF
all the property, Peter making no effort TO Oh
tain his share. He died in 1872, bequeathng
certain pictures, also left him by his mother
to Miss Gibbs, declaring her to be his daugh-
ter. Then the executor of Mrs. Fife Simmons
sued to determine whether Peters share should
go TO Selma, as his daughter, or to his bro
Their William. Then, upon the service of the
papers upon her, the young lady was first APP
prised OF her parentage. The case, which was
strongly contested by VIM. Simmons, was for
some days on trial 1t WAS shown that Peter
Simmons became acquainted with Cornelia
Potter in 1860 in a Methodist church in this
city, and they became intimate and lived to-
gether 1t was asserted however, on the part
of the defendant, that the relation was illicit,
and that the two were not husband and wife
until 1865, when formal ceremony of mar
riage was performed. Mrs. Cornela Sim
mons, however, testified that on February 30
1851, they agreed TO be husband and wife in
the presence of witnesses, and Peter Simmons
repeatedly declared that they were married,
and in 1864 said they had been married for
thirteen years. On the question whether Miss
Gibbs was the Legitimate or illegitimate child
of her father, Judge Van Brunt repeated the
law which he laid down in the Brinkley case
that an agreement of marriage is marriage,
with the addition that all prescriptions are in
favor of the Legitimacy of the child under an
Informal marriage. The jury stayed out a
little over an hour, and returned with YER
dict for Miss Gibbs on every point.

CALIFORNIA; GOLDEN SHowER OF GRAM
Last year We opened our eyes and mouths to
marvel over the immensely of the California
wheat crop, and this year we are still further
astounded by the information that the crop of
1873 will be more than doubled. The area
under cultivation is upwards Of 1000, 900
acres, 900, e00Naeres more than last year, and
the yield is exiraordinari fine. The total
crop is estimated at a minimum figure of 35,-
600, 900 bushels, leaving 2E 600 O0c bushels
for export-nearly twice the greatest amount
that California has ever furnished for export
alton, more than all the rest of the United
States exported last year, and twice as much
as Russia exported from her great grain dis
tricis on the Danube. CALIFORNIA; gold yield
is mere tridc compared with this golden
shower Of grain.
