field

Arrangements are nearly completed
for the grand temderancc camp meet
ing to he held at Nprthfield, Aug. 10,
20, u. All the railroads in the state

parties of ten or! more great reduction
from the more remote points will be
made by the Central VT. and Montpe-
lier and Wells River railroads.

Springfield, Mass. Rev. &. G.. Frost.
of Conn; Miss Frances Willard. pres-
idcnt National w. e. II. u; ex-Lieut.
Gov. Geo. n. Dale, Island Point, Vt.
and it is expected that Gov. Matt Head
of New Hampshire will be present.
Other speakers equally prominent we
are III correspondence with. These are
to be the principal speakers, but.a large
number of short speeches will be made
each day by speakers OF our own state.
The plan of the meeting is three princi-
pal speeches each day, morning, after
noon and evening, supplemented by
prayer meetings and experience meet
ings each day, and OH the morning of
Aug. 2lst, temperance love feast to
continue two hours. Excellent singing
and Instrumental music will be had,
this department being under the charge
of Rev. j. X. Bartlett of Wiliamstown.
The shade of the ground is almost
perfect. The grounds are enclosed by
a high and tight board fence, shutting
out wind and marauders, and are sup.
piled with excellent running water
brought within the enclosure. Several
board tents TO be covered by cloth are
at the disposal of the management TO
those desiring. There is also room for
new tents TO be pitched.
The grounds have also seats with backs
10 them, enough to seat thousands. The
cars Will stop at the grounds, making
them easy Of access by rail, or if pre-
tered passengers can come to the depot
aud be carried in teams for slight fee to
the grounds. TIE grounds are opcned
free, there being no tariff for teams.
Straw for tent companies can be had at
low rates near the grounds. Board and
lodging can be had in the village at
rates not TO exceed a dollar q day, and
meals at the restaurant near the enclos-
ure ut rates suited to the times. The
grounds are well appointed, the ar
engagements we hope in all respects will
be satisfactory, and there can be no
question but the array of speaking tai
ent eXcels anything ever announced in
vermont at any temperance or other
gathering. The aid of all friends of re-
llSion and temperance, especially
Lodges, Reform clubs, and pastors of
-churches is invoked to circulate this
notice and promote by prayer and APP
peal this initial temperance camp meet
ing OF Vermont.

A Sing Sing Convict Shot Dead.

At Sing Sing Prison, Friday noon
John Barrett, convict from New York
while being taken from his cell to the
doctors Office, attacked keeper Patrick
Mackin with II knife, cutting his coat in
two places and in1icting severe wound
in the left thigh. Keeper Mccormick
then knocked the convict down with q
cane. Barrett then fled to another part
of the prison and armed himself with a
heavy hammer. Keeper John III. Good
attempted TO arrest Barrett, who raised
the hammer to throw Mt him, when the
heart with his revolver, killing him in
stantly. The shooting occurred in the
presence of about 200 convicts, who had
been formed into line preparatory to
being marched to dinner. During the
few minutes prior TO firing the fatal
shot the convicts broke ranks and
crowded around the keepers, Biglin and
Good, and the defiant prisoner. The
men were growing very turbulent and
disorderly until Keeper Good fired up
ON Barrett, when they fell back for q
moment. AS they rushed forward
again several keepers drew revolvers
and marched the prisoners from the

u There is just enough talk about
other Democratic candidates to show
clearly that Tilden's prospects for the
party nomination to the presidency
next year are enormously greater than
those of any other man. Tildep NAV be
an income tax swindler; he can exert
his best efforts to buy the presidency to
which he failed to be elected; he can, as
in his Marquette mining company affair,
adopt the methods of the trickiest Grim
inal to destroy evidence of his criminal
ity, and notwithstanding all this, the
tone of political morality in his party is
so low that he is accepted as its ineyita-
BILE candidate in 1880. He is SO ac-
cepted because of the confidence felt in
his wire-pulling abilities, his knowledge
of how to use money in campaign, and
because he has plenty of money to use.
There is no need of saying that the
Democratic party desires him as its can
didate. 1t is presumable that large
share of the better element of the party

which he leads. They would far rather
vote for Senator Bayard, General Han

other Democrat of unsmirched fame,

tionary attempts to deprive the presi-
dent of his constitutional veto power.
and the unblushing attempts to open the
gates to unlimited party fraud and vic.
lence at the polls which characterized
the recent extra session, all have given
Democracy bad odor throughout the
North. They recognize the fact that
under any honest candidate, and with
an honest campaign, they would be
beaten out of sight. Therefore, like the
slaves to party which they are, they will
swallow their disgust at the unclean and
dishonest Tilden, and will trust their
hopes again to his thorough acquaint-
ance with all the political tricks and
crimes and devious ways, which his az
filiati0ns and his money will enable him
to put In practice. They care only for
success, however dishonesty obtained.
The campaign of 1876 on Tflden's part
was simply an attempt at enormous
stealing and robbery. That of 1880 will
be Q still more desperate attempt in the
same way. II will fail as that did, be-
cause the stars in their courses will
hght against such ipiamy.

n The yellow fever is still causing
alarm in the South and North. Several
deaths daily are reported from Mem
phis. One or two fatal cases have been
reported from New Orleans. The Off
Gals of both cities have taken measures
to prevent the spread of tie disease.
AT little distance from Memphis a
camp hospital has been established, un-
der direction Of Colonel Cameron's COL
orea regiment. All mail ~ after leaving
the city is disinfected. In spite of these
precautions it is feared that the fever
may extend northward and become an
epidemic there. In New York the len
ement house districts of the city have
been thoroughly disinfected and new
corps of men have been added to the
disinfecting service, and in few DAYS
those parts of the city will be in health
Ter condition than ever before. In this
way it is thought to escape the ravages
of this terrible disease.
