Texas Constitutional Convention has
been In session seven days. Some Of the
best and some Of the worst men are dele.
gates to 1t. One Of the representatives
from Radical district reached Austin in
q state Of drunkenness. sold his mileage
and per diem for few pieces of silver,
resigned and went home. A resolution
was offered, and submitted to commit
tee, that the legislature of Texas meet
once In two years. for four years, after
the adoption OF the contemplated consti.
tuition, and afterwards once In four years !;
and that the first two sessions be limited
to sixty days afterwards, TO thirty days.
Another important resolution Is that
all male inhabitants Of twcnty-one years
and over, shall be qualified electors pro-
vided, that IL tax be levied for public
schools, and any one fails to pay said tax,
he shall not be allowed to vote until said
tax has been paid also, that in munich
pal corporations all appropriations, OK.
cept those for police purposes, shall BE-
submitted To Il vote Of the property hold.
ers and taxpayers of the said corpora.
tons and that no poll tax shall be levied
by said corporations. Also, u resolution,
that no minister OF the gospel shall hold
Office In either branches OF the Legis Ia
ture and that neither the Governor nor
Lieutenant-Go shall he a repre.
sentative until five years after the cypi.
ration OF their terms. From tho tone
OF the convention 1t Is evident the
delegates will take up the suffrage
question, and that the remedy proposed,
consisting IN the restriction of suffrage In
cities, towns and counties, to freehold.
crs, will be adopted. 1t will BIZ am open
blow at the mass Of ne
groes, who hrc poor ant
shiitless, hut who control many portions
ofthe State by their votes. This move
has been contemplated for the past few
years by the leading Democrats OF tn,
state and may prove the overthrow o

the GULF NTORN

The cyclone that swept with such de-
structive power upon Galveston, the
fairst city ofthe coast aud threatened with
death its 5000 Inhabitants. has passed
away, and q bright sun Is again shining

the island. At one time the water was

The New England Dairymen.

We have received specimen number OF
the American Dairymen, a quarto sheet OF
16 pages, published at Poultney by Messrs.
NIoselcy e. Stoddard, the popular and re-
liable proprietors of the New England
dairymans supply depot. We congra,u-
late our old friends upon their business en-
tcrprse and success. The journal they have
issued contains more valuable information
in our judgement than many of the strict
ly agricultural journals contain for months.
This number is especially valuable to
dairymen, presenting 20 them condensed
form much valuable information and a
mass of statistics, which search of days OF
weeks would not suffice to find and colatc.
The farmer and especially the dairymcn
should greet this sheet with pleasure.
In this connection We would commend
the New England dairymcn's supply depot,
conducted so successfully by Mcssrs. Fred.
w. Moscley and NJ o. Stoddard, to pub
lie attention. From an acquaintance Of
many years, we know them to be gentle
men of reliability, integrity and enterprise.
They saw the needs Of New England dairy
men and established a supply depot which
has proved not only remuneratve TO them
but Of great convenience and saving to the
producers 1t has become permanent
and recognized institution and they do well
in issuing the New England Dairyman, for
the benefit Of their patrons. We congratu-
late them upon their success and foresight
in anticipating the needs of the dairy inter

The LIQUOR Raid at Bennington

A large quantity Of the liquor that was
seized Tuesday was turned over TO the
town agent Wednesday. In one place
where the crusaders made raid was n
sick child, and the light-haired policeman
searched the bed on which the child lay,
which made the child decline IN health.
The excitement and the stirring of the bed
made it very bad, and more discretion
should have been used Michael Heay be-
came furious. After he had handed the
liquor over to the men he got an AK and
straightway commenced to demolish the
barrels and bottles. A large number of
bottles were broken and the heads of two
barrels stove in. Where the liquid flowed
over the ground it resembles the places
where they have had the grasshopper
scourge, and in walking by there person
could have very good drunk for q small
price. There is no question but what a
large quantity of the liquor in different
places was removed 10 points of safety,
but considerable quantity was taken.
In one place, after the stuff was loaded,
the proprietor stepped out and offered the
sheriff his pocket-booli, but he politely de-
clined. Catsup and Worcestershire sauce
were taken in one or two places owing to
the inability OF some of the crusaders to
determine what 1t was in the kegs, most Of
the men on the force being inexperienced.

Street Grades.

N. +. Page, trustee of the fourth ward,
vas out, Tuesday, with Orlando Wooster
as surveyor, establishing grade for side
walks on y portion of the east side of Cot
tagc street. Perhaps grade so established
may be of no binding force, yet, as it was
fixed at the request of adjoining property
holders, it will, doubtless, be accepted and
acted upon. This is n move in the right
direction, and suggests the propriety OF
such action being taken as may result IN
having grade established for all of our
streets and walks. The village, under its
charter, has ample authority to regulate
this matter, and action taken now will pre-
vent future unsightly appearance of the
streets. 1t may not be thought best to es-
| tablish grade and make all sidewalks
Immediately conform thereto, but it can be
established n0,o and the requirement made
obligatory of conforming to it in all walks
hereafter constructed, and thus we shall
ultimately obtain a pleasing uniformity sc
much to be desired Our ordinances now
require that sidewalks shall be constructed
under the direction of the street commits
sioner, but heretofore his directions and the
grade fixed by him have been followed OF
not, as it pleased the property owner. Thi
ought to be remedied, and now is n goot
time to commence.

town clerk Of Manchester played a scurvy
trick on the people of the village one
morning by causing them to sleep over till
eight o'clock. We have just had an inter
view with the town clerk and he says il is
gross libel and that he is in no wise re-
sponslble for the morning maps of the good
people of Manchester. We suppose, how
ever, that the Herald will get out of it by
saying town clock was intended.
We regret to learn of the death of Mr..
George II. Smiley, one of THE GLOBE com
positors, which occurred at his fathers
residence in Rochester, N Y, May 9th.
He had been for more than year faith
full cmploye, who enjoyed the respect of
his associates young man of more than
ordinary intelligence, kind and generous
impulses, he warmly attached himself to
those who were intimately acquainted with
him, and sadness comes over the heart as
we think of his fall by dread disease in
the prime and strength of his manhood.
Many pleasant memories linger with us in
the remembrance Of our friend and his
genial and agreeable friendship.

The contestants were big black dog and

ly, settling an old family feud after the
manner Of the Montagues and Capulets.
The audience was of all sizes, ages, sects,
sexes and colors, and filled the streets and
the adjoining windows. 1t divided itself
into factions and each side would cheer as
its favorlte colored dog gave an unusually
vigorous shake or set its teeth firmer in its
opponent. For long time the tide of the
battle was uncertain, but at length Black
thought it didn't pay and retired, at which
the partisans of Yellow set up a shout of
triumph. Good judges, however, declare
that the yellow dog would have required
the least preparation for sausage meat.

SpnlNGrEID, Mass, May 81
One Of the most terrible disasters in the
history of Massachusetts, occurred tonight
by the burning of the French Catholic
church at South IIolyokc, during the even
ing service, involving the death of sixty
six men, women and childicn. The cXcr-
ciscs had nearly closed and ycspcr ser
vice was being sung, when the dlaperies ON
the alter caught fire from candle the
walls Icing low and the flames streaming
up, the building was set on fire. The
audience numbered about 200; people in
the body Of the church escaped, but on
the stirway leading from the gallery human
beings were packed in dense mass strug-
Cling to escape. AS the flames reached
toward them, many lCaped TO the floor
beneath and were lranpled TO death. The
gallery skirted both sides Of the building
with only one entrance from the front.
The scene was fearful IN the extreme.
during the little while it lasted the whole
was over in twenty minutes. Besides the
sixty-six dead, the fatally wounded will
carry the total loss of life up to seventy
five. The recognized dead are as follows:
Mrs. Burgess, Mrs. Victor Norm, Mrs.
CaliXte Lavinc, Mrs. Lavina, Mr. Dcsper-
din, his wife ard four children, Isaac
Marin, Fabier Moreau, Miss Ida Lafrance,

Suicide at New Haven.

Mr.. Simon Fits of New Haven, farm
er, apparently about forty years of age,
committed suicide on Tuesday morning by
hanging. He arose about 8 o'clock Tues
day morning, and not appearing at break
fast, search was made for him, and about
noon he was found dead in a swamp not
far from his house, having hung himself by
means of q clothes line which he had taken
from the house. He has lived in New
Haven about year and half, having
formerly lived in Burlington. He has been
OF late years subject TO occasional fits of
insanity, and has twice before, while in
Burlington, attempted to hang himself,
but has been cut down before life was ex-
tinct. Mr.. Fits has lately been worrying
n good deal about paying for his place, and
it was probably this anxiety which drove
him to commit the decd.
