4 FIGHT BETWEEN A DOG AND
A MONKEY

A contest of this kind took place in
Londen, with a number of dog fancers
and prize fighters present.i A wager
was laid that the dog, a full terrier,
would kill the monkey under twenty
minutes; and it was SAID that the same
animal had killed monkeys before.
When the combatants were turned into
the ring they required the excitement OF
bystanders to provoke any disposition
to fight. The monkey was extremely
frightened, and when the dog few at 1t
the monkey leaped in all directions to es-
cape, till, finding itself cornered, it seized
the dogs head with its paws and held it
at bay in savage terror. After several
worrying scramhles the dog seized the
monkey by the IA u'der and held on II
the poor brute died IN the dogs grip.

Senator Davis's attempt to secure an
honest investigation of the phenomena
of Treasury bookkeeping between
1869 and 1871 promises to be at least
partially successful. Certainly dis
crenancies of tens and scores of mil

serious attention than they have yet
received, and The fact that Messrs.
Morrill, and Dawes are satisfied that
il ia all right will not be accepted as
sufficient reason tor failure to inves-

The newspapers are at length awakening
to the fact-which has been apparent for
months-that the republican majority in
the senate will be reduced to a very narrow
margin, with danger of its being entirely
overcome by the detection of carpet-bag
southern republican senators. There never
has been a time since the organization of
the party when the political complexion of
congress was of as little Importance as now,
and, moreover, we believe that for every
carpet-bagger or northern radical who
places himself in opposition to the presi-
dents policy, a conservative democrat will
be found to take hiS place. The closer po-
litlcal parties are divided in congress, the
better it will be for the country and, in
any event, the change from Logan to Davis,
from West and Kellogg to Spofford,
and from Clayton TO Garland will not
cause many tears to flow.

Fires.

On Tuesday night, April 18th, the dwell
ing house of Norman w. Dunbar of North
Hartland, was destroyed by fire. But lit
tie was saved. 1t was formerly owned by
the late Hon. Hampden Cuts. Insurance
81, 900, which will not cover the lo.s.
The house occupied by l.. II. Thompson
of %lrasburgh, caught fire on the OH instant,
and the flames were only %extinguished
after a long fight, by the persistent effort
of his neighbors and townsmen, who
turned out in large numbers TO assist him.
The roof was burned down about three
feet from each side from the ridge, nearly
the whole length of the front part of the
house. The fire is supposed to have
caught from a defect in the chimney. The
damage amounts to about five hundred dol
lars, and is covered by insurance.
The village of Cabot, Washington
county, narrowly escaped a tirst-class fire,
April 10, in Farrington's block. The
chimney burned out in the morning about
ten o'clock. 'Phe roof was discovered to be
on fire and making good progress. The
alarm was promptly given and, with smart
work with pals, in a short time it was put
out. Fortunately the fire took on the north
side of the roof, and the wind was blowing
from the south. Had it made a little fur
ther progress before being discovered, it
would have done a large amount of dam
age.
The house, shed and horse barn of Adna
Fuller, near North Troy, Orleans county,
were consumed by fire recently. Loss about
$1,000.
The house, barn and outbuildings of
Henry Prescott at Corinth, Orange county,
were burned Wednesday evening.
The lumber mill of Smith and Wilbur of
Montgomery, Franklin county, was set on
fire Thursday morning, by al employe, and
a portion of the machinery was destroyed.
Loss from $500 to $1,000. Had the fire
progressed len minutes longer a large por-
ton of the village would have been con-
sumel. The villain is under arrest.

ton, although ono of the candidates has
had a large plurality Of the votes, or, In
the words of our charter, 'the greatest
=" number Of votes for said Office" The
last instance of this kind wat in the cleo
ton of Judge Powers two years ago.
The same Is true Of the office of secretary
of state, auditor of accounts, speaker of the
house, ETC., ETC.. In each case the law be-
ing silent as to whether a majority or plu-
rality shall elect, and yet the invariable
practice has been to require a majority Of
all the votes. Indeed, the instance cannot
be found, save in the village of Rutland,
where 1t has been held, or even seriously
entertained, that a public officer, required
to be elected by ballot, or even by a viUa
0oce vote, could be elected without receiv-
ing a majority of all the votes cast unless
there was an express, law declaring that the
person receiving the greatest number of
votes should be deemed elected. Ii we are
correct in our ~position-and is there any
doubt about it7-two hundred and twelve
votes were necessary for the election of a
municipal judge, and, the candidate receiv-
ing the greatest number of votes having
four votes less than this number, there was
no choice and the office is now vacant.

Hoosick.
We regret to learn of the death of Col.

native of Middlebury and went west at an

an extensive acquaintance throughout the
country, and his death will cause sorrow
in many a heart. No son of Vermont has
manifested deeper interest in the prosperi-

Philadelphia he vas especially active, in
looking up the Vermonters of Ohio and the
west, and having them present at the re-
ception ceremonies.

The Tatro Murder Trial.

The evidence in tina trial of Tatro for the
murder of Mrs. Butler at Highgate, now in
progress at st. Adams, conclusively estab-
fishes theprisoner's guilt. The testimony
shows that the woman's husband had often
furnished Tatro liquor, and the defense
will contend for a verdict of murder in the
second degree, on the ground that the
murderer was in a state bordering on dellri-
UNI tremens, and was thus incapable OF
forming an intent.
