WINTER BIRDs.-All through central and
northern Vermont the little pine finch has
been remark ably abundant, the past winter.
1t is less than five inches long, OF flax brown
color, streaked in each feather with black
lighter on the belly. 1t flies in the same
manner a. its cousin, the gold finch. or
Summer yellow-brd, and its twittsr and
chirp and song are much the same 1t has

chiefly on those Of the hemlock and in all
hemlock groves it gathered by hundreds.
In the coolest Winter days it has been seen.
playful and gleeiul with song. filling tho
groves with its music, occasionally inter
jecting a sharp orickety screech. difficult of
description. The most remarkable thing
sbort them, this Winter, IL that they have
been breeding all the latter part OF the
Winter. The cross-bill has also been seen,
doing the same, probably. But some care
full observers have examined some of these
callow birds and declared them not cr1ss-
bills Tho pine finch has been noticed to
exhibit all the habits Of birds while breed
ing. In February and March they have
been seen tearing to pieces old nests OF the
hair bird, and fly away with mouthiuls of
the finest material and hairs a. If to build
with. Birds evidently young, with tails not
of full length, and fed by the old birds, have
been noticed. VI this blrf a correspondent
writes tho FREE Pass: "On April 10Th,
Master Dean Worcester. OF Thetford, led me
to ons OF their nests containing three young
birds. They were two or three weeks old
Sufficiently featheied to show the general
color. with the characteristic bar of yellow
ish white across the wings. The parent
birds were seen close by. and there IL no
further doubt that this little arctic bird has
been breeding in Vermont, this Winter. "
Ii is a general law, that birds. a. other ami
mails. have their breeding propensities
stimulated at the season when their fsvorite
food il most abundant. 1t would seem
that this finch. and perhaps the cross-bill.
have found tho seeds OF the hemlock and
spruce Of our mountain lands usually per
feet and abundant, this warm Winter,
furnishing them all the stimulus and sup
plies for housekeeping they have been ac-
customed to find in their northern Summer
home.

SHOOTING MATCH BETWEEN AN OFFICER AND A
CRININAL-rHE LATTER sERIoU LY WOUND
Ed.
One Derrick. notorious scamp, was shot
and seriously wounded by Horatio Peters,
near Alburgh, tho other day, under the
following circumstances. as detailed by our
Alburgh correspondent: Ell Derrick, a
desperate hailing from ST. Thomas, p. Q :,

past year been defying the authorities of
Canada. lie is large. ugly looking fell

but being respectfully connected, and feared
by many, he has not been molested Last
Fall, Mr.. Isaac Filler had quite a sum of
money stolen. As Mr.. Filler lived near his
house, suspicion rested on Derrick
and young man by the name OF
Campbell. A warrant was issued for their
arrest, but Derrick swore he would
shoot tho first man that attempted to arrest
him, and paraded the streets armed with
reyolvcrs. A bench warrant was then
issued to take his body, dead or alive. The
ofhcer with posse of some twenty or
thirty started to arrest him. They chased
him all one day and shot at him several
times, but he escaped to the woods, came
bans, and was there arrested. lie knocked
down the policeman, concealed himself IN a
freight car and escaped to Rouses Point. N.
Y. lie has been there most OF the time
since, although it is reported that he has
been seen several times in Canada, during
the Winter. the warrant was placed IN
the hands of Horatio Peters, who lives ON
the lake shore near the lines. Last Thurs
day. just at dusk. Derrick came across
the lake with boy, and sent the boy
into Peters's house, to tell hun man

The Third District.

There is right smart change for lively
convention in the Third Congressional dis
trict. Gov. Hendee would sacrifice himself
to the extent of serving fourth term. 1t
Gov. Dale woul1 accept the nomination,
but don propose to work for it. Gen. W :.
W. Circuit is very likely to be supported by a
large part OF the northeastern portion of the
district. State Auditor Ladd is looked up

man who has been though. OF in this CON-
nection, Rev. D. G. Wheeler. State Sens-

WHEN a quarter Of a dollar pays the

has been the case fOr two or three days past,
specie payments must be close at hand. In
fact, they have begun. The Northwestern
bank, Of Chicago, and the Third national, of
Cincinnati. announced that they would re-
deem their notes in gold, on Monday. At
the Chicago sub-treasury, $50 gold piece
came in to be exchanged for currency. and

In the Senate, On Tuesday, Mr.. Hereford
OF Wet Virginia, having called up the resc-
luton requiring the Committee on Finance
to report the House bill to repeal the specie
resumption act within one week, and having
argued that it was high time to repeal the
Resumption act, Mr.. Morrill,. chairman Of
the Finance Committee, aptly remarked that
the Senator was like the dog who saw the
squirrel go into a hole, and kept up a furi
Gus barking for time. In day or two at
ter the squirrel escaped, the dog returned
and kept up his barking all the Summer.
Perhaps the Senator did not know that specie
resumption in some cities was resumed on
Saturday last. Before any action could be
had on the bill to repeal the specie resump-
ton act, there would be resumption of spe-
Gle payments throughout the country.

The GoYernar Quesilan.

We shall mention all those whose names
have get been considered, whether they
desire the Office or not. First in the north
part Of the State is Hon. Jed p. Ladd, Of
Alburgh, the present State Auditor, who
is generally conceded to have aspirations
in different direction, although be would
ably and acceptably fill the Office, and
probably does not desire t. enter the
list at present. Hon. Bradley Barlow
of ST. Adams, wants to be a Congress
man and with Butler. Cox and Hewitt
stand, but would take anything We
shall be mistaken if he receives either
honor. We understand that Hon. R. S.
Taft, of Burlington, another able man, is
not a candidate for this election. Judge
Pierpoint. Of Vergennes, we understand
positively declines the honor, and the pro-
posed custom Of topping of" judici II eI-
perience with the Governorship, for which
Judge Peck's case il precedent, should not
be adopted, as it would occasionally and per
haps generally give US poor Governors. Col.
Geo. A Merrill, prominent ard worthy
citizen Of Rutland. has been mentioned with
out his consent, and by men whom he PES not
feel proud Of ~ friends Hon. T. W
Park. Of Bennington, standing candidate Of
past years. is united to south western Yer
mont in too strong bonds of affection to
be considered now. Col. Red6eld Proctor,
Of Rutland, man of good character and
ability, with voice which can be heard all
over the State, has been the most mention
ed" OF all. but we fear his friends have made
the fatal mistake of blowing his trumpet too
long and too loud in the early part Of the
ccnvass. .
We know of no other candidates already
in the field, but it is by no means certain
that any Of these is to be chosen Brandon
Union.
The Union curiously omits from its list
the name of Hon. N. T. Sprague, of Bran
don, who has been often mentioned as among
the aspirants for tho nomination. OF course,
there are different ways of considering" a
name but Mr.. Sprague is clearly entitled to
a place in a list Of "all whose names have
