A writer to the Boston Traveller tells
how the Presidents message was once,
before the days of railroads, express
ed" from Providence to Boston, dis
lance of forty-two miles-in one hour
and forty minutes.
1t was done in this way. Post-boys
were stationed along every mile. The
message was tied around a whip-stick;
the feetest horses were selected, and the
best riders. As the post-boy saw the
messenger coming he started, got his
own horse we'll going, and as the mes
senger overlook him he rode alongside,
grasped the whip and urged his own
horse to his highest speed; at the end q
the mile delivering to the next. And 81
the process was repeated the entire
forty-two miles.
The message in the case was carried
in about the time it takes the regular
mail to 60 on the train between the two
cities.

The State Convention.
The Delegates Largely for Proctor.

BURLINGTON, Wednesday Eve.
The evening trains brought in hun
dreds of delegates to the State Repub-
lican Convention to be held here to-
morrow. The hotels are full of men
earnestly canvassing for the respective
candidates. A comparison of notes
gives the promise of a good majority
for Col. Redfield Proctor for Governor,
on the first ballot. 1t is not safe to
predict the result beforehand perhaps,
but it now looks as though Proctor
would receive three to one of all the
ballots cast.
For Lieut.. Governor, the case is not
so clear. Orleans county presents E. P.
Cotton, of Irasburg; Orange county, j.
B. Mead of Randolph; Windsor county,
Hugh Henry of Chester Windham,
Gen. Lynde's of Marlboro. Col. Mead
is the favorite man tonight, but the
locality is against bin, as Orleans and
Windham counties claim to name the
man.
Many prominent men from different
parts of the state are here, besides the
candidates. Among others we notice

them as far down as Holyoke, Mass.

Served Him RIGHT.

One day last week two young women
in business in this place, received an
insulting letter from man who handed
it into their shop, saying that he would
return in half an hour for reply. He
did not return but the next day the
ladies received postal card in which
the same insulting proposals were re-
newed. The ladies are respectable
persons who are working at a legitimate
business and making an honest living.
They were highly indignant at the
treatment received, and laid the matter
before States Attorney Ide, who at
once took measures to ferret out the
scoundrel. Although the women did
not know the man who handed the let
ter into their shop, they said they could
identify him. They were taken down
by the Avenue House, when they rec
Ognized Portuguese barber in Bowen's
shop, named Joe Gill, as the man.
Sheriff Preston invited Gill up to the
States Attorneys office, where he was
charged with the authorship of both the
letter and the card. He stoutly denied
the accusation at first, but finally owned
up to writing the letter, but denied the
card. Mr. Ide told him the girls would
shoot him, as they were thoroughly in
dignant and aroused,-which was true
and advised him to go and try and
settle up the matter with them. When
Gill found out the temper of the party
he had aroused, and heard that they
talked of shooting, he was more than
ever disinclined to go; but he was
finally persuaded to venture into their
presence in company with the sheriff,
which he did on Friday morning. When
the matter was introduced, the girls
charged him with the authorship of the
postal, which was even more outrageous
than the letter. Gill denied it, when
the larger girl of the two, asked him to
step into the back room, as she wanted
to speak to him alone. Gill walked back
to the door, where he was met by the
returning heroine of this story, who
with vengeance in her eye and good
sized club in her hand, began to lay the
club over Gill's head in dead earnest.
Gill made spring for the door, but
before he got into the street, he had re-
ceived four or five heavy blows which
he will be likely to remember to his
dying day. The whole transaction was
done so quickly that the sheriff did not
have time to interfere, and he now
thinks that if Gill had not got out of
the house as he did, these indignant
females would have soon made an end
of him. Gill has the name of doing
such things before, and he gets no SYM
pathy from any one. He will doubtless
eight out" to some place, where he is
not so well known; and respectable
ladies in our town are safer from insult
since the vigorous action of these plucky
milliners.

Accident.

Accident.
Last Tuesday afternoon, as Mrs. Har-
vey Wood of East st. JOhnsbury, and
Mrs. Orange May and daughter of Kir-
by, were returning home from this place,
just after passing through the bridge on
Portland street, the kingb bolt TO their
wagon broke, and threw them all out.
Assistance soon came and they were
taken into MI. G.. w. Hurlbutt's house
near by, and a physician sent for. Up
on examination it was found that no
bones we're broken. Mrs. Wood re-
ceived a cut under her chin and was
hurt about the chest. Mrs. May was
hurt on the nose which caused it to
bleed prOfusely, which was all the in
jury she received. Miss May was in
jured in one arm and hip, but probably
not seriously, and it was thought all
would be able to go home in day OIL
two. An examination of the king-bolt
showed that it had become almost worn
off, and the only wonder is that it had
not broken while going down some hill
instead of on level road as it did

The Death of Tierney.

There are some further particulars of
the sudden and terrible death of Patrick
Tierney, of which mention was made
last week. 1t seems he was coming
down the steep hill this side of John
Higgins's with one horse load of hay.
When on a little level half way down
the hill, he stopped and lit his pipe.
1t is supposed, though not certainly
known, that while doing this, one rein
slipped down the front of the load out
of his reach, and that the horse started,
and soon coming to the steep descent,
was without control and was pushed
down the hill at a fearful rate. On
reaching Martin w. Carr's, the horse
turned into the yard, and Tierney slip
ped off the front of the load, the fore
wheel passing over his thighs and the
hind wheel over his lower abdomen.
He was helped into Mr.. Carr's and a
physician summoned, and although no
bones were broken, he died of internal
injuries in about five hours.
