A Pleasant Time.

Quite an interesting affair occurred in fayston
last week, the occasion being basket picnic given
in honor of Miss Sarah NJ Thompson, by her for
mer pupils The day was delightful, and charm
ing drive through the cool woods soon brought us
to the grove which, early as II was, seemed like
beehive At the appointed hour the teachers
bell rang as in the olden time, aud tile seats were
soon filled with young men and women. Amidst
much laughter and mirth the seating was rear
ranged, in order that rognes might occupy the
front seats, and the "boys and girls should not
sit together" This, of course, separated men
from their wives, and recalled many n pleasant
scene. Questions Of all sorts were asked, and
answered by the teacher with characteristic
promptness after singing by the school, came
rol-call which brought tears to many eyes, for
many loved schoolmate brother or sister, who
once responded to the familiar name, is now silent
in death.
The teacher announced that boys and girls
might have recess together" to-day, as it was the
first day of school. The dinner was then spread
scene will not soon appear to us again. Business
men laid aside their dignity and young ladies
forgot their airs, while all Joined in the games Of
childhood, The teacher never seemed so happy
as when surrounded by her pupils, and we judge
from the confidence aud affection manifested by
all, that Miss Thompson thinks there is no place
like Vermont. After singing the doxology, the
company adjourned until August 9th, 1879 when
we hope to have another happy time.

The State Election,

In the hurry Of going to press 80 soon after the
polls have closed, II is, Of course impossible to
give precise results For Governor, seventy eght
towns give Proctor II, l61, Bingham s,151 Re
publican majority 900. The same towns in 1876
gave Fairbanks q, 1877, Bingham 1903. Fuller re-
turns indicate that, in lighter vote than then
Proctor's majority will doubtless be relatively
equal to that Of two years ago-probably reach
10000 This in the face of all the bolts, bargains
and reckless antics Of an off year. is doing re-
markably we'll
For Congress, Joyce and Tyler are elected in the
first and second districts by substantially the usual
majoritles In the third ffty-nine towns give Grout
5,720, Waterman 30i5, Barlow S,7i3, scatter
ing 90 The remaining towns will probably
leave Barlow lacking but little OF an election.
Ugly reports come to us of the high hand by
which this strange result has been produced-and
the remarkable increase Of democratic representa-
tives elect in the Barlow strongholds leads us to
fear that they are not all without foundation.
It does not yet appear that any of the Republic
ran candidates for the State Senate are defeated,
and the prospect is that that body will stand as
two years ago-unanimousy Republican. There
may be a small increase in the number of demo
Gratis in the House, but that increase will be
mainly confined to the third district, and to
Washington county, where the greenback raids
have cost the Republicans few members, as
such epedimics usually do

Brutal Assault and Robbery.

On Wednesday night of last week. between the
hours of nine and ten, occurred one of the most
brutal assaults that has happened here for some
time. The victim Of the attack was William Penn,
an unoffending young man who has lived in
Marshfeld for the past three years the perpe-
TRAITOR of the deed was one Joe Emerson of Worces-
ter, who has long had the reputation of being
hard character. The facts Of the case, as we
CLEAN from young Penn himself and who, by the
way, tells pretty straight story, are As follows
On Wednesday morning Penn left Marshfeld
with the intention of going West. During the
day he went into j. W. Pages office to procure
ticket, and was followed there by Emerson, who
was in the room when Penn paid for his ticket
and thus discovered that he had what he (Emer-
SOM thought was considerable money. After
following Penn into the ticket office, Emerson
went with him to Keene's jewelry store where the
former had watch undergoing repairs While
