in n Aourishing and healthy condition,
is located in one Of the most romantic
places in the State, and the scholar
that cannot learn u lesson here---irom
nature, il nothing else--must be dull
indeed. At two o'clock the Conven-
ton me, again for conference, in
which several speakers took hand,
among them an old lady named Rus
sell from Ludlow, and by her facetious
way of stating Der experience, caused
considerable merriment. The trouble
in conference meetings and in the
desk is that speakers arc too apt to
throw mud at other denominations
We don't like to see this. Spiritual
lists are not wholly free from it.
Some speakers have nerve aud back
bone enough. but the nub at the upper
end of the backbone is no! always
shaped right. Remarks by the re'lr-
ing President of the Convention, Mrs
Manchester OF West Randolph, after
two years service, and remarks of
Mr.. Harvey Howes, OF No. Benning-

cupied some time. At three o'clock
Mrs. Manchester, trance speaker, ad-
dressed the meeting at length. Sew
eral speakers were present from
abroad, among them Capt. II. II.
Brawn of Brooklyn. The Wilder House
is beautifully located, and reminds us
of the Profile House in the White
Mountains. The House is nearly new,
large and con,modious, mas recently
been painted and papered, and we
don't know of a pleasauter place TO
spend vacation. D. P. Wilder, the
Landlord, goes about doing good, and
employs an able corps Of ussistants.--
He has done much for the growth of
the place, and is still doing. We
enjoyed pleasant visit and reached
home safely about six o'clock same
day. The Convention held over Sun
day, and a crowd was present.
The Carmondy bee! case, from
Springfield, was called up in Court at
9 O'Clock to-day "wednesday. Car
moby claimed to be poor and could
not employ counsel. The Court as
signed Hon. John F. Dean as counsel.
Counsel had an hour to talk with
Giant, but when he was wanted in
court he was no where TO be found
John says he didn't advise him to run
but he did run, and a townjman is out
