that for ten months we have had a
great rainfall.-Though we have, since
winter commenced, had little snow, we
have had much rain /; cold rain to be
sure, vet it was more than usual amount
of storm. As we seldom have wet long
continued in excess, or as the saying is,
zone extreme follows another" we may
not have unusual storms. All the win
tiers mentioned were preceded by light
storms in fall and early winter, while
this fall and winter our storms have
been heavy, yet without much snow.
AS an open winter is injurious to veg
citation, SO it is to man, and animals,
and as sickness is unusually fatal with
man, so it will be with animals, and
with vegetation, if it continues thus I'M
til the end, so we can but hope that we
shall get some of the oid-fashiOned win
ter weather yet. If we do not it be-
comes all to look after their own health
first, and then the health of all animals
under their care as best they can. Lice,
and vegetable parasites, thrive well,
and rapidly increase in open winters,
SO farmers should look closely to these
pests.

A Terrible Tragedy.
A NEPHEW MURDERS HIS UNCLE's

A NEPHEW MURDERS HIS UNCLE'S WIFE.
Londonderry, n. H., is intensely ex-
cited over the murder and outrage, Sat
urday, of Mrs. E. V. Dillingham;, aged
33, by Frank Dillingham;, aged 20, her
husbands nephew. Frank came to live
with his uncle last April. There have
been indefinite rumOIs of ill-feeling be-
tween him and his aunt. His uncle,
Saturday, was away from home. During
the afternoon Frank called ut the coun-
try store and announced that he had
killed his aunt. He was taken into
custody, but was reticent about the
crime. Mrs. Dillingham; was found ly-
ing on the floor with bullet wound in
her head and a rope tightly drawn
around her throat. She was still alive,
but her death was mOmentaIily expect
ed. Frank claimed that he accidentally
shot her while cleaning a revolver, but
would explain no further. He says he
tried to kill himself after the tragedy.
There is an ugly bullet hole i'll his fore
head. He was faint from loss of blood
and much excited, frequently exclaim-
ing he was sorry he did it. The prison
er was securely guarded to prevent
violence at the hands of the injured
husband, and incensed citizens. The
victim was a comely woman and higblr
respected. The conclusion can handy
be avoided that the woman WAS raw
ished, and that her assailant then see
ing the fearful crime he had committed,
hastily fastened the door, pulled down
the curtains and retired to the forest in
the rear of the house with the intention
of ending his life.
Young Dillingham; is said to be vic
tim of yellow covered literature of the
0asest sort, and read with eageIness
the detailed accounts of the Crue muir
der at GrOton, Mass. He has been at
tending school this winter and was re-
garded as boy of average ability, ard
was not regarded us capable of commit
ting SO terrible crime.

the opposition be safely ignored, ana

The Grant advocates are accustomed 10
delude themselves with the idea tnat
opposition to him is all inspired by the
opposition party-that is, by the Dem
ocrats. This is a great mistake: Ma
ny of the very best Republicans IN the
country are opposed to him for party
expediency alone, and many others be-
cause they are opposed to Third
Term. But even if it were true that
the opposition all comes from the Dem
ocrats, there is doubt if this fact should
be ignored. We need recruits not
for this campaign, yet for the future.
Whence will they come if not from the
opposition? 1t should always be the
policy of every party to so cOnspicu-
Ously plant itself upon correct princi-
pies as to draw away the better ele-
ments from its opponents. 1t seems to
us that the Grant Republicans have de-
parted from this wisdom and are pur-
suing directly the opposite course, of
ignoring or defying the enemy, and an
noying, alarming, cooling and almost
or quite expelling large numbers from
their own party. 1t is not necessary.
1t is hasty, narrow, foolish. We have
but small voice but what we have

Vermont Candidates.

"BrOwnie," young man whom the
Boston Journal hires to give it Yer
mont news and gossip, writes that pa
pei. the past week as follows:
In looking over the political field,
the question now most generally asked
is; "Who are the candidates 7" the
state press being remarkably quiet on
this subject. For delegates at large to
attend the National Convention at Chi
Montpelier soon, the name of Senator
Edmunds is prominent to lead the del
egatiOn. There ale also mentioned the
names of Lieut.. Gov. Cotton of Iras-
burg, Hon. B. F. Fifeld of Montpelier,
and Col. Kittridge Haskins of Brattle-
boro. Vermont being entitled to twice
her representation in Congress, there
are two distinct delegates from each of
the three districts TO DC chosen. If
Senator Edmunds should be selected to
lead this delegation of ten, no state
would be better represented.
In the matter of state officers no
prominent name has yet appeared in
opposition to Secretary of State Nichols
of Mortified for Governor. Although
it is not certainly known that DR.. Mich
OILS will allow his name to be used, still
there cannot be much doubt as to this,
owing to the enthusiasm with which
this name is received in all parts of the
state. For Lieut.. Governor the names
of Hon. James L. Martin of London
derry, the popular Speaker of the last
House, aud Hon. Loveland Munson of
Manchester, President pro tempOre of
the Senate, are mentioned. This Office
vii! go probably to the west side of the
mountain. For State Treasurer the
names of Col. S. NJ. Waite of Brattle-
boIo, Inspector of finance Du Bots of
West Randolph, Cashier C. w. Wood
house of the Merchants National Bank,
Burlington, and Cashier S. w. Rowell
of the Rutland National Bank, are
prominent. The present Treasurer,
Page of Montpelier, will hardly be
eligible, owing to the rule ''only one
from a county," yet there is likely to
be considerable strife for this office.

The Pennsylvania Convention.

The Republican state convention
held at Harrisburg last week did not
result just as expected. 1t was an
nounced that Pennsylvania was solid
for Grant, but test vote stood for
Grant 1873, to lib for Blaine. This is
a victory for the third term which looks
at this distance like defeat
1t is well known that the politics of
Pennsylvania is managed by Don Cam
erOn ; but it may not be as generally
known that the state convention of that
commonwealth is not wholly made up
of delegates elected by the people, but
largely of men appointed by county
committees. So all that was essential
was for Cameron to own the commit
tees and then he was sure of the con-
vention. Notwithstanding this nice
little arrangement, Mr.. Blaine develop
ed nearly as much strength in the con-
veutiOn as Gen. Grant; and perhaps
this is not so strange, as Blaine is ma
tive of that state, and throughout his
long political career he has ever kept
his weather eye on the keystone state
for he knew that sometime just this
emergency would come, and then he
hoped the "favOrite son" might ad.
vance to the front. 1t now looks a:
though Grant aud Blaine would both
be pushed at the Chicago convention
and both lose. A few more state con.
ventiOns may change this look, how.
ever.

Shall it be Grant.
RADIX.

The argument of his
friends is that the country wants a
strong man that if he is nominated he
will be elected that if he is elected he
will be inaugurated, and his past expe-
rience as President, and his recent OBJ
servatien in other countries, preemi-
nently qualify him for composing the
country and giving stability to bust
ness, etc. His Republican opponents
adduce many objections. Some think
that if nominated he cannot be elected;
that if elected the tendency will be
toward Imperialism in the near or re-
mote future; that during his two adj
mlnlstTatlOns fourteen states were lost
to the Republicans that the constant
turmoil in the South, contrasted with
the comparative quiet since, shows
that he is not needed as a pacificator
that the parties are so nearly equal now
that the Republicans cannot afford to
lose state or try so doubtful an exper-
iment as the Third Term, and some
even go so far as to say that they will
not support him if nominated, for there
is danger that the scandals of his last
administration will be revived.
BY means OF the lnt1u-
ence of few such powerful leaders as
Senator Conkling and Cameron, and
the late Senator Chandler, things have
for many months been taking shape
for Grant, and 10y means of the South
cru buster at the special session, the
Maine folly since, and Grants own per
sonal popularity everywhere, the
"bOOm" has risen to such proportions
as to make his nomination, we confess.
more than probable. We believe it is
a mistake. If he cannot be as easily
elected as some other man it certainly
is. If he can be, it probably is, for it
is ABSURD to say that he can give us a
better administration than any one OF
dozen OF our eminent statesmen, and
those who are opposed on principle to
a tnird term of any president can hard
y De expected to forgive the outrage
that is put upon them, and the danger
Is that there will be such reorganlza-
ton of political forces as will make the
last administration of Grant the last
one of the Republican party-at least
for many years to come.
Now this is not threat neither is
it pessimistic prophecy. 1t is bat a
calm aud reasonable probability. We
concede that the Grant enginery is in
the ascendant; for arguments sake we
are willing to concede that the Grant

Heavy Robbery.

New York, Feb. 6. Kenneth AIbro,
an elderly man of Texas, reports that
on Jan. 81, as he was ascending the
steps of the Sub-Treasury on Wall
street with satchel containing Sl25,-
600 in registered 4 per cent. Govern
ment bonds, he was fooled by the drop
wallet game, and while picking up the
wallet an unknown man threw him on
to the stone steps, striking his head,
causing his nose to bleed and creating
so much confusion that he did not no
tice that an accomplish of the man who
called his attention to the wallet had
quickly walked off with his satchel
and bonds. He advertised reward Of
$4,000 for them, and an answer appear
ed signed 'TOm," saying he can have
them by paying S25000 cash or they
will be altered and sold. Although
the robbery was at noon and large
number of persons passing, no one
knew that such robbery had been ac-
complished. The man who called hi
attention to the wallet was passenger
on the same train with Albro from
Texas.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 1880.
To the Editor of the Caledonian:
If there is one thing more disagreed
BILE than another it is to have any sus
picion that you are watched. A smell
ing committee of amateur detectives
have INDUCED in the pastime of watch
ing people. Of course their motives are
alleged to be of the purest. They mean
to close up, so they say, bad places by
the influence of prominent and wealthy
persons who frequent them on the sly,
obtained by threats of exposure, and to
save young men in places of trust from
the broad road to embezzlement, and
rash women from wrecking their lives
and breaking up their families for some
passing infatuation, and all that sort of
thing. AS to blackmail, the pious Paul
Prys are Mortified at the idea. 1t seems
to be the general opinion, Indignantly
expressed, that without indOrsing i'm
morality of any kind, it is disgusting on
general principles for such Partisan or
Russian spy systems to be introduced
amOug us. Perfect freedom is the birth
right of the American citizen, and if he
does, in moment of weakness, get
drunk at unlawful hours, or lose or win
small fortune at faro or drawpoker or
yield to still more alluring temptations,
it is probable that he will personally
and privately feel more or less ashamed
of himself, and it is an outrage to dog
his footsteps and record his misdeeds in
black list, which may, moreover, do
many of the unconscious victims the
greatest injustice. And blackmail is an
almost certain cOmrade of black list
However virtuOus may be the stern
promoters of the plan, their dirty,
sneaking employees are absolutely GER
tain some time or another to misuse the
information they gather,
100000 in one donation for sweet
charity is present that princes are not
in the habit of making. This is the gift
of James Gordon Bennett, of the New
York Herald, to the furnishing peasant
ry of Ireland, to say nothing of the
surrender for weeks of columns upon
columns of the most valuable space in
his two papers to advertise in the most
effective manner every effort in the
cause. 1t is not the first time Mr.. Ben
nett has put his hand unostentatiously
in his pocket in a way to eclipse the
deeds of men widely famed as philan-
thropists. When the panic broke out
in 1873, he promptly met the situation,
headed subscription list with $50, 600,
and started his reporters all over the
city to report on restitution generally,
and particularly with the desired effect
of stirring up the benevolent to practi-
cal methods of relief. He is thought of
by great many people as careless
man of the world, given to catching,
polo and fashionable festivities of ali
kinds, to perhaps an undue degree, but
the man who found the man to find
Livingstone, who organized the Arctic
expedition, who explored Cuba bv
proxy during the bitterest times of the
raging rebellion there has as much
brains as modesty. Perhaps he could
