There is mutual relation between
orchards, clover and pigs. The pigs
thrive on the clover, and consume all
the fallen and wormy fruit; the clio.

the destruction of the insects.

As previously appointed. the convention Of
the Republicans of the Second Vermont Dis
trict was held at White River Junction, with
full numbers--9}3 out of total Of 237 dele
gates being present on Tuesday afternoon,
18th inst. The croditahlc and omincntly sat
isfnctory result which was reached by the
convention is doubtless already known, 10y
word of mouth, to all our county readers.
1t only remains for us to state. in brief the
manner in which this result was reached
Owing to the burning of the Mcssrs Bar
ron's hotel, the junction House." with its
commodious hall, last Saturday morning, the
accommodations afforded ut White River
Junction for the entertainment of strangers
were rendered extremely limited, and for this
reason but very few Of the delegates came in
until Tuesday morning The burning Of the
hotel also involved the destruction of the
spacious hall in which the convention was to
have met, and the gathering was therefore
held, the day being fine, on the piazza and
grounds Of Mr.. Geo. NJ. Gates--a good and
worthy Democrat, by the way-who kindly
rendered their use for the occasion

The Wirdham county delegation. with few
exceptions, went mp to the convention by the

Rev. Amos Foster Of Putnoy has supplied
the pulpit of the Congregational church in
this place for the last six weeks. Judging by
the full attendance at church each Sabbath,
the people are much interested, not only in
hearing him preach but in the good sermons
so impressively spoken Mr. Foster is the
only minister that we have heard preach at
his time of life-past eighty-one years Of age.
We remember Rev Mr.. Barstow of Keone
and heard him preach when he was past
three score and ten years and he may have
preached when he was past eighty. Mr..
Fosters voice is still quite strong, and though
his personal appearance indicates advanced
life, yet by his cordial and friendly manner
of greeting, and the encouraging words he
speaks TO all, he shows that his heart is still
young. We think he likes to preach to the
citizens of the good old town of Dummerston
where his beloved brother, Rev. b. F. Foster
spent long and useful life. d. L. NJ.

q good many whirlwinds as notable as the one
which leveled the agricultural fair buildings
at northampton this summer, or that which
wrecked the Sunderland bridge some years
ago, have passed without more than local at
tention even in Massachusetts, simply because
they happened to pass where there was moth
ing of consequence TO be destroyed and then
recorded, The signal-serSice officer who Wis
tied Mt. Carmel makes the observation that if
that tornado had passed mile 10 the north
or south of its actual track, il is doubtful
whether it would ever have been heard of out
side Of the immediate vicinity. Evidently
these occasional tornadoes furnish no evidence
that our New England climate is changing.

The Barlow men in Franklin county do not
take their defeat in the Third District con-
vention gracefully. and are planning for
bolt. A call for n mass convention to he held
at st. Adams on Saturday was issued last
week signed by two men from each Franklin
county town--the object of the convention
being ito take into consideration what the
interests of the party and the country may re-
quire Mt their hands, and to nominate a can
didate for Congress if thought advisable"
With 1000 Republican majority in the dis
trict the Barlow men probably think they can
afford to play with fire in this way, but in
doing so they will not have the sympathy Of
the better class of Republicans in the State.

whether MiudAam county can have deluga-

ton rests with the people themselves. If the

necessity OF attending the caucuses and man
z ring them for themselves, giving everybody
q far chance, We shall have such a represen-
tative delegation. If not, the representation
