THE RESULT IN VERMoNT.-In 1872,
Vermont gave republican majority of
25,319 against one of q 800 in the pre-
vious State election-a gain of 1000 ;
and it was allowed that it was doing
we'll. This year Vermont gives a re-
publican majority of 24,300 against one
of 20,303 in the last previous election
like gain of 1000; and it is doing
well, now. 1t is in fact doing much bet
ter this time than four years ago, for the
gain has been secured against greater OBJ
stacles. The democrats this time had a
candidate for Governor of much greater
personal popularity than in 1S7S.-Blr-

The Derby Line Tragedy.
DEATH OF MRS. HAYDEN.


Edwin G. Hayden, the wife murderer,
has asked Sheriff Holdridge TO permit
the Revs. Smith and Courier of Iras-
burg, to visit him in jail and pray for
him, early last week. He knelt in prayer
with them, repeating portions of scrip
ture. He seems very much broken and
penitent, weeping at times. He partic-
ularly desired them to go to Derby Line
to see his wife and ask her forgiveness,
and to say that if his life would save
hers he would willingly die for her.
Messrs. Smith and Currier visited Mrs
Hayden and communicated his message.
She expressed much gratitude and said
it was a great comfort to her, and to in.
form him that she forgave him. Mrs.
Hayden died Wednesday evening of
last week, at o'clock. Mr.. Brigham
is improving.
Since Tuesday, 9th inst, Hayden has
been very penitent for his terrible crime,
and when informed of his wife's death
by Sheriff Holdridge, at half past ten
Saturday morning, he showed no great
surprise, but Immediately burst into
tears, and without saying word direct
ly retired to his cell and covered up his
head with a pillow. He remained OIL
his bed during the day, except at inter
walls, when he would get up and pray
that he might be forgiven and meet his
wife in heaven. He ate nothing during
the day, but last night took cup of tea
small piece of bread He asked the
sheriff if he could plead guilty and moi
have any trial, but if he did have a tria
he wished it Immediately, and all the
time he wanted to live on this earth wa:
long enough to prepare himself to die.

Grand Republican Victory i'm Maine
A Republican Gain of Over I0,O0O-The,
Also Garry all the Congressman and
Great Majority of the Legislature-A
Clean Sweep.
The republicans of Maine won splen
did triumph on Monday, carrying the
state by some $4,000 majority, making

fourteen towns give Conner $3.50; Tai
bot Al, 422; republican majority H.,
54S. The same towns last year gave
Conner 40,645, Roberts SO, 967 republi.
can majority 1878; republican gain
over last year 7847.
The towns to be heard from gave last
year; Republican, 17,l67; democratic,
16,S40; republican majority, S27. The
republican majority in the state will
probably exceed 10000. The aggregate
vote will probably be $4,000, of which
the republicans should have $4,000 and
the Democrats $1,000. In 1872 the ag-
gregate vote was 127, 266, of which the
republicans had 71,SS8. democrats 55,-
34S; republican majority, 16,545. In
1873 the republican majority fell to
$685.; in 1874 it fell to 6430.
The vote in this city has been unusu-
ally heavy and gives the republican
candidate for governor a majority of
357. Conner, 20S9; Talbot, 1882; a
gain of 4S1 over last year.
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. IL. Portland
gives Conner (rep., 1880, Talbot dem

democratic majority, 103. Republican
gain, $50. In 1872 Portland gave the
republicans 1922; democrats, 2727 I;

THE ROBBERS KILLED.
About two o'clock, last Thursday af-
ternoon, Sept. 7th, eightmen we'll mount
ed and armed with navy revolvers, en-
tered the town of Northfeld, MINI.
Drawing their revolvers, and putting
their horses into a full gallop, they
dashed through the streets, shouting to
the people on the walks to get inside, and
companying their shouts with the most
iendish curses and imprecations. Pro.
ceeding to the bank, three entered it
sprang over the counter, and ordered the
cashier, j. L. Haywood, with knife to
his throat, 20 open the vault. At the
same time all the persons in the bank,
A. E. Bunker, assistant cashier, and
Frank Wilcox, clerk, were ordered to
hold up their hands. Haywood refused
to open the money vault, though his
neck had been slightly scratched with a
knife. Still persisting, the robbers put
pistol to his right temple and fired
Haywood fell dead. They then turned
to Mr.. Bunker and ordered him to open
the bank. He said he did not know the
combination. As the robbers made dem
constructions toward him he ran out the
back door. They fired at him, shooting
him through the right shoulder. Mr..
Wilcox was not interfered with.
While three of the men were engaged
in the bank the Others stood on the street
threatening to shoot any one who inter
fered, and firing several harmless shots
Pistols and guns were quickly secured
by the citizens, and young man, named
Wheeler. from window of the opposite
building, picked off one of the villains
shooting him through the heart. An.
other shot, thought to be from Wheeler
Immediately Frustrated another, when
the robbers mounted their horses and
beat a retreat. The third robber was
hit, but escaped. A band of fifty citi
zens were organized, and headed by
Wheeler started in pursuit. At last &C
counts the robbers had not been caught

The Lyndon Union tells this story
Some years ago when Elder Hale was
settled in Waterford, he preached a SER
mon in which he had something to say
about casting out devils. Uncle Asa
Hovey hearing about it and wishing to
plague the preacher, began to question
him about such nonsence being accepted
as literally true Now" said he, " &C.
cording to your doctrine have devil
in me, and do you suppose it would be
possible to cast it out" The elder look
ed him over seriously for a minute, and
replied, No, sir-not and have any
thing left"
The other evening, Miss Julia EN-
erson, of Victory, was driving through
piece of woods, when a tramp sprang
into the road and called for her to stop.
She put the braid upon the horse when
the tramp sprang for her, catching hold
of her dress and the wagon seat. Miss
Emerson struck him tremendous blow
across the face with the whip and at the
same moment the horse jumped taking
her out of the tramp's reach. On arriv-
ing home she told her escape to her folks,
and they went back and found the tramp,
identifying him by the mark of the whip
across the face. Giving him a good
horse-whipping, they let him go to try
his next adventure.

AS it is, the boot is on the other leg.
The republicans of Vermont have whip
ped their opponents even worse than.
usual, which can only be justified by the
seriousness of the exigency. Though
having only themselves to Guido, and
having their chief incentives rather in
the qualification of their friends abroad
than of their own necessities at home,
they yet fought through the campaign
with admirable vigilance and vigor.
Their splendid victory is worthy of them,
and will abundantly reward them in the
grand efeet-timely and stimulative-
which it will have upon the republican
cause throughout the Union.-Boston

State Election Notes.

The vote of Ludlow on State ticket
was Fairbanks 29S, Proctor 266, Page
$40 Bingham Ill, Baldwin 1903, Mat

republicans voting for treasurer who did
not vote for Governor or Lieutenant
Governor. Many other towns show sim

The republican triumph in Maine is
Unexpectedly strong. The gain on last
year is nearly II, 900 and the latest re-
ports carry the republican majority in
the state up to 15,000l 1t is also said
they have carried every county in the
state for governor. 1t is perfect Wa
terloo rout. The September prestige
therefore in the presidential election of
1876, is entirely with the republicans.

Connecticut River Valley Fair.

The reports of this fair held at Clare
mont last week, do not concede it to have
been very much of a success, except
perhaps in few departments. In all re-
ports we have seen the show of cattle
seems to have been best, and from the
names of the exhibitors it could hardly
have failed to have been excellent. As
yet no premium list is reported. The
Elwells of Langdon had eleven head of
their fine Durhams and Chester Pike of
Cornish, and w. M. Evarts from his
herd at Windsor, had fine show. The
Claremont Advocate says that "Clark
I. Whitney of Westminster had two
yoke Durham steers, admirably trained
and much admired for their docility."
The Advocate also speaks of but a sin.
gle stock horse on the ground, but we
take it this does not mean it was all
there was on exhibition.
Since the above was written, CORES.
pendent writes us briefly of the Other
departments, floral and mechanics halls
which he says we're almost empty. The
show of sheep he also thinks was poor
though the Advocate thinks they wer
equal to former exhibitions. OF eattl,
our correspondent speaks in better terms
but they were in poor condition,
doubtless from the dry weather." III
concludes that the next fair ought to
held at Bellows Falls.

windham County Conference.

conference, held at Westminster last
week, was Of more than usual interest.

Nearly all the churches were represent

An interesting episode in these nara
tions was brief appeal in behalf of the

tribution on the spot of nearly $50 in
its behalf. In the evening the discus

ems of Westminster W est, and continued
by others. 1t is hoped that the discus

produce good results. The home work
of the church and our duty to the local
church were the themes considered
Thursday a. m. Many important sug
gestions were made which may profit
ably claim continued attention. May
they be retained and practiced. The
communion season in the afternoon was
one of tender interest, and thus closed
what we trust will prove very profit
able meeting. The meeting next year
