CoNNEcTICUT.-The legislature meets
this week and the republicans having con-
troll Mr.. Andrews is to be governor. He
received plurality, but not majority of
votes in November. A successor to VIM.
IL. Barnum, United States senator, is to be
chosen on the 2lst and Gen. Hawley, Gov.
Jewell, Henry c. Robinson, Henry B.
Harrison. o. IL. Plat and VIM. I. Miner
are republicans frequently mentioned. ~
One writer says it will probably be jew
ell, Hawley or Platt. But very likely
either Robinson or Harrison would do full
AS well as either of the more prominent
candidates. Gen. Hawley was in Novem-
Der elected to- congress from the Hartford
district but that will not count much either
for or against him as senatorial candi-
date. He and Marshall Jewell are the
most widely known Of the candidates.

MAINE.-The democrats and green
hackers LINED drives in the Maine
legislature and elected officers of the
House and certain state officers by union
of their votes, dividing the official spells.
The House sent to the Senate for it to
choose governor from the names of Jo-
seph l.. Smith, greenbacker, and DR..
Alonzo Garcelon of Lewiston, democrat.
The Senate on the Sd elected DR.. Garce-
lon governor by a vote of 81 to 10 for
Smith. Every republican senator voted
for Garcelon, and he received one demo.
cratic vote we believe. This is said to be
the worst case of bull.dozing on record
as u two-thirds majority of republicans
were obliged to vote for political oppo-
nent. DR.. Garcelon is said to be very
fine man and probably owes his election to
his having some old democratic doctrine
about hard money. still left in him.

The New England winter has long
been famous for its deep SHOWS and sever,
cold and Vermont winters have been re
puted as fully up to any standard main
tanned elsewhere in New England. S,
far. this season, we have had very mile
weather and only a moderate fall of snow
not enough to seriously delay railroad OIL
ordinary highway travel. OF course We
are liable to be charged on by Boreas and
a big snow storm at any time but it hasn't
happened yet.
And whatever may be in store for us in
the way of blows and drifts for the coming
two or three months we are safe enough
in raising the voice of Boosting over ouI
neighbors of the middle and western
states. In Chicago, and that represents
the west, they have had 20 or % degrees
below zero and big SHOWS besides. But
the worst weather seems TO have visited
New York. Some weeks ago there was
snow blockade of some magnitude out
Buffalo way. Last Thursday trouble be-
gan again; there was a furious snow
storm followed by fearfully "cold wave -
and high winds.
At Buffalo the blockade began again,
and at Rochester, Syracuse and all along
the New York Central trains were packed
immovably for some days The Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburgh road had to
give up business and is even now engaged
in digging itself out. Fourteen trains
were blocked at Syracuse on the Central
and the soldity of the blockade may be
seen by the means adopted to get rid OF it.
In one case train was started with eight
engines and snow pillow to try and clear
the road. The result of that expedition
was that five engines were thrown off the
track and the road more etfectualy blocked
up than ever.
The New York legislators, good
share of them, couldn't get to Albany in
time for the opening of the session; and
the trouble was universal among the rail-
roads of that state. In Pennsylvania the
cold was severe and it was colder in Mem
phis. Tenn, than in Boston. Four tramps
were frozen to death in Kentucky town.
In Philadelphia and many other cities
there was loss of life from the severe cold.
Several cases have been reported where
children were frozen to death and in New
York it is reported that there has been hut
one day colder for at least nine years, and
even that time the cold was not as danger
Gus to life. Altogether the storm of last
week will be one long remembered
throughout the middle states and quite far
into the south

1t Is SAID that N. L. Banks is to be
appointed United States marshal of the
district of Massachusetts.
SALE OF CHARLIE MAC.-The well
known trotter, Charlie Mac, has been sold
by his owner, Eugene G. Aver of Boston,
to Mr.. Reynolds of New York for Sc, 1000.
Being in Ireland, Grant very properly
did as the Irish do, and SO perpetrated this
bull: " We have had our days of depres-
sion. Yours is just comming on. l hope
it is nearly over"
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC.-The
18th annual encampment of the depart
meut of Vermont. G. A. r., will be held
at Rutland on Tuesday and Wednesday.
January Dist and 22nd, 1879.
An agreeable new year item: The ex-
cess of exports from the United States
over imports for the twelve months ending
November 80, was $309, 309,741, against
$40, 1928, 629 for the same period last year.
An increase of over sixty per cent in the
balance of trade in our favor in one year
is a healthy sign.
RESUMPTION didn't cause a ripple; in
fact Uncle Sam, after three or four days of
it had about three million dollars more in
gold than when he began. Very likely the
law will be changed SO that the actual
paying out of gold by the United States
will be the order of the day elsewhere than
at the New York subtreasury to which
place we believe the law now confines it.
The United States supreme court has
reversed the decision of the lower court in
the case of Andrew Bean of Vermont VS..
Daniel Beckwith ct al. 1t was an action
for assault and battery and alleged illegal
Imprisonment of Bean for seven months
by the United States provost marshal and
his assistant, during the late war, on the
charge of disloyalty and assisting rebels.
Bean got a verdict in the lower court of
$4,000 damages. This is the second time
the case has been in the supreme court.
COOP TEMPLAR ITEMs.--Mr. Bryant

with twenty-nine charter members. He

and initiated eight after his lecture
On Thursday night A. II. Selleck, state
deputy, and j. S. Batchelder, district dep

with twenty-nine charter applcants-Dr.
George H. Gray, lodge deputy.
Elections to the French Senate of one.
fourth its members took place last week. |
1t consists of three hundred members and
seventy-fve was the number to be chosen.
The republicans were so successful that
hereafter they will have good working
majority in the Senate which will be
gradually increased as that body chooses
always successors to its life members
when they die, and the ruling party is
.hus able to add to its strength slowly.
Last weeks election is great victory for
he republic in France for the Senate
when constituted was carefully arranged
10 as to enable the conservatives to keep
he republicans in the minority.

Kentucky Republicans

The republican state convention which

Grant in the most extravagant manner
It is eminently proper that state which
gives a democratic majority anywhere from
60 to 100000, should contain a limited
number of men who resolve all manner of
great things to the republican party and
desire to see the" Grant movement boom
The convention fought the war over,
and recounted the good ard glor-
glorious deeds of the republican party.
when in all probability the very men who
composed the convention were stealing
cotton in the south. The Grant movement
appears to boom" the most in those
states that can do the least for his support
