Camp J. Gregory Smith.

1t begins to look warlike here now, says
the st. Adams Messenger. The guns of the
Fuller battery arrived Saturday, and ia
tigue squads from the battery and from the
Esley guard came yesterday morning. A
fatigue squad from the Green Mountain
guards of Burlington also arrived to-day.
The muster commences tomorrow and
lasts through Friday. The camping ground
on II. p. Seymour's mesdow is just south
of the field on which the old Fifth regi-
ment mustered in 1861. To-day tents, cook
tents, etc, are going up. A water pipe has
been laid from the hydrant at Judge Hoyt's
to the ground, at an expense of about 800,
which has been ra,sel by private subscrip-
ton. Mr.. Z. j. Sampson has been ap-
pointed as sutler of the regiment, and has
erected suitable shanty. He will act as
purveyor for the Barlow grays and posi-
bly, for the Rutland company also. The
Ransom guards have but their portable
cook house at the southern extremity OF
the grounds, and have laid water pipe to
it at their own expense, so as to bring
water from the camp reservoir for Their
own use and that of the E-tey guard, who
have erected their cook tent close by. One
or two of the companies are expected on
the 6 o'clock train tonight, and the rest OF
the regiment will arrive on early trains TO-
morrow. Tomorrow afternoon there will
be battalion drill, followed by dress
parade. On Wednesday afternoon the reg
lment will be reviewed by Gov. Peck on
the muster grounds

The day dawned clear aud beautiful,
and the weather Is all that could be de-
sired. AT 0 o'clock prayer meeting was
held in front Of the stand, lead by Elder

for thousand tohgucs TO sing my great

Political Meeting at Bennington.

A great deal of enthusiasm was mani
tested here Friday night by both the re-
publican and the democratic parties. On
the republican tide caucus was held at
Library hall for the purpose of nominating
candidate for town representative. AS
early as o'clock the hall was well filled
with republican voters, and later in the
evening large number Of democrats came
in to see how the ball was rolling. DR.. III.
J. Potter called the meeting to order, and
nominated George w. Harmon for chair
man. John It. Shurtleff was nominated
for secretary. After this three tellcrs were
appointed to hold the boxes for receiving
the ballots. Balloting commenced, and
the result of the first ballot was that there
was no choice. The result of the second
ballot was that Col. l.. NJ. Morrison had
the majority of votes. The meeting closed
amid the cheers of the Morrison party, and
from oil appearances everybody was salts
isfied.
Upon the arrival of the train from North
Bennington at Z o'clock, it brought the
cornet band from that place, which had
been hired by the democrats for the open
air meeting on the corner. Several speak
crs from abroad were present, and a very
lively time was had all round. After the
caucus adjourned everybody went down to
hear the music and speaking.
Not icing satisfied with quiet argu-
ment, cheers were given by the repub-
lican party for Hayes and Wheeler, which
was entirely out of place. The cheap fol-
lowers of both parties then took up the
shout, and for short time a good deal OF
excitement prevailed, and 1t looked as
if there would be riot. During the ex-
element stories flew around and it made it
very unpleasant for timid folks. One lady
sitting on the Stark House steps got hit by
a stone propelled by some ruilian, the mis-
lie struck her arm, near the shoulder, and
the following morning she wa, unable to
raise her arm. About the same time a
warm democrat wishing to keep up the ex.
element came out and fired OF some Ro-
man candles. Immediately stone was
hurled at him and smashed through store
window near him. he did not fire any
more candles that night. A stone was also
hurled as everybody thought to II. G. Root
who was in wagon in front of j. Il.
Shurtleff's drug store, but it did not happier
10 hit him, but passed in close
proximity to his, and number of Other
persons heads, and went through large
plate glass show window in the drug store
Charles Il. Dewey was hit on the arm
quite severely by some missile thrown by
the rOuphs but WAS not serious.
If political controversies are to be hat
by the two opposing parties it should moi
take place upon the street when all the
roughs and street urchins will make dis
turbance and endanger innocent persons
lives. Let the two parties go into hal
and have good gentlemanly meeting con
Quoted in proper manner, which would
be more to the credit of both parties.

New York, Aug. 20.
The great coal sale took place to-day at
noon. The place was completely blocked
with coal Spectators, Buyers from all
sections of the country were present. ln-
tense excitement Iclgned in the neighbor-
hood, and wagons, trucks and windows
were filled with spectators, while the act
ual buyers were congregated in a dense
mass around the auctioneer's stand. The
latter read the conditions of the sale and
announced that,it was perfectly bora fide,
and that no reservation was to be put on
The goods offered for sale. He said there
were four companies represented in the
sale, but they were not combined in any
way, and no effort would be put forth to
keep the market up. Buyers could bid
and rest assured that their own judgment
was all they had to contend with. The
four companies selling the coal were the
Delaware AMI Hudson canal company
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road company, Philadel phia and Reading

this noon. Parties we're pic-niced in al
most every available place, and numbers
were continually arriving to attend the
afternoon service az l o'clock. Prayer
meetings were held in neirly all Of the cot

An Attempt to Wreck a Train.

A dastardlY attempt was made Monday
morning TO throw train from the track
on the Rensselaer, and Saratoga railroad.
The train,i which left Saratoga at lido
Saturday night, was heavily laden with
human freight. When withnl two miles
of the junction the engineer noticed an OBJ
struction, and with great difficulty stopped
the train before he reached it. Upon in
vestlgation it was found that some fiend
had placed two ties and several rails across
the track. The timely discovery saved a
terrible accident. For fiends who would
attempt to destroy life in such manner
no punishment would be too great. The
perpetrators of the above mentioned out
rage were doubtless tramps. and the incl
dent suggests the propriety of taking
prompt action regarding the disposition OF
these pests the coming winter.

Tuesday Evenings Caucus.


Agreeably to the call for republican
caucus to nominate a candidate for town
representative, the town hall was well filled
Tuesday evening. The call was read by
p. w. Clement, and on motion of George
W. Warren Redfcld Proctor was chosen
chairman.
Ga taking the chair he said: The full
numbers present this evening attest the
deep interest felt in the selection Of a can
didate for town representative. After that
choice is made it behooves US to bury all
personal feeling and give him one week
from to-day rousing majority.
A. II Tutte and Henry Clark were then
chosen secretaries.
The BUSINESS before the meeting being
the nomination of a candidate for town
represent alive, S. W. Rowell said that
there were large number of democrats
present, and he didn't propose TO have
them control republican caucus. He
wished the candidate chosen by ballot, and
wished the right to challenge any voter
and ask him if he intended to vote for
II ayes and Wheeler.
d. Z, Nicholson said the democrats pres
ent were better bred than to interfere with
republican caucus. There were many of
them who would vote with the republicans
on local Issues, and he didn't propose to
exclude them by any such test as voting
for Hayes and Wheeler.
Mr.. Rowell defcnded his position man
fully, and Mr.. Nicholson replied to him,
when John B. Page SAID that it was lnpor-
tant to have list of republican voters in
town, and he moved that the vote be taken
by ballot an the secretaries take the name
of every voter.
Martin g. Eyerts opposed this PROPOSE
ton as needless waste of time, and faid
that he never heard Of check list in q
caucus before. After some discussion in
which John B. Page and w. II. Smith IA
vored the motion and NJ. G.. Everts and A.
+. Walker opposed il, the motion was di-
vlded. That portion moving ballot wa,
carried, and the part providing that the
secretaries should take list of names was
lost.
On motion of John b. Page the chair
WAS instructed to appoint committee Of
ffteen to nominate Candidates for justices
of the peace and town committee for the
coming year.
W. Y. W. Ripley said that it gladdenet
his heart to see the crowd present. There
were ihleo candidates prominently men
toned for the place. lie wished Their,
