/[The death of Miss Jennie, daugh.
fef of ii. l.. Stevens, the notice Of
which appeared in the last issue, re-
quires more than a passing note. She
has been residing in Springfield, Vt,
and for nearly two years, although che
was thought to be tough and healthy.
her health had been poor, and at times
labored under great inconvenience to
perform her tasks, but ambitious TO be
up and doing, labored on without COM
plant until the first of April last,
when sho was taken severely ILL. The
physician advised an immediate return
to her fathers, which she did only to
suffer and die Notwithstanding the I'M
firing efforts Of skillful medical service,
and on the morning of the 25th, she
passed from among us. Her remains
were placed in Pleasant Hill cemetery,
Rev. MIR. Houghton conducting the SER
vices. So peculiar had been the symp-
toms of her ailments, and 30 much had
the medical fraternity been bafiled in
her case, that by the urgent request of
the attending physician, DIR. Ilalscy, q
post mortem examination was held,
conducted by Drs. IIalsey, Smith and
Arthur, which resulted in the discov-
cry of fearfully diseased liver, enlarg-
ed heart and spine, and general disar-
rangement OF the whole system, so
much so that medical aid however skill
full, could have availed little.
II. Z. Warner, M. D., received a
pleasant surprise last Monday evening
by a visitation of "troops of friends"
at his residence in this village. The
occasion was the 55th anniversary of the
Doctors birthday, and the celebration
was judiciously arranged by some of our
thoughtful matrons who foresaw the
opportunity for merited tribute
to the oldest physician of the
village, and for an evening of cxhilarat-
ing social intercourse. Tho Doctor
kcenly appreciated the honors intend.
cd, and in turn, with the members of
his family, gave grateful welcome and
refrcshment in their pleasant home.
Between GO and 20 were present, repre-
scnting, in part, the families who have
long had occasion to appreciate the skill
and fidelity of their physician. DIR.
Warner came to Port Henry in March,
1851, when the now thriving village
was but mere hamlet. lilo has built
up an enviable practice, now so large
that he finds the assistance of his son, G..
B. Warncrc M. D., recent graduate,
to be quite necessary. Tho Doctors
many friends wish his remaining years
to be as placid and enjoyable as the
May evening that marked the anniver-
sary of his both birthday.-[Port Henry

The convention held on Wednes-
day Of this week at Montpelier, for
tho election of four delegates at
large to the Chicago Convention
was very fully attended. On the
only ballot that was taken it was
announced that there were 445 votes
cast. The convention was held in
the vestry Or basement of the Meth

by Gen. w. w. Circuit, who made a
very happy speech on taking the
chair. .. ua. "a

dates being named in opposition tt
them as three of the delegates tt
the Chicago convention.
For the fourth candidate Hon

eulogistic speeches by the friends
of the several candidates judge
Poland withdrew his name and thu

to print hereafter, and alternate'

TAG delegates, as follows !:

A line from Col. r. G.Butter-
field, supervisor of the census for
this State, informs us that he has
as vet received no official announce
ment Of his appointment, or in
structions from Washington, and
therefore he can make no appoint
ments for census work. For this
reason, and also because of the
multitude of applications received
by him, which are numbered ~
thousands, it is impossible for him
to. answer appointments. These
will be made in due season, and as
soon as is consistent with proper
care and deliberation, and while it
is simply impossible that all appli-
cants can have the places they de-
sire, the selections, we doubt not,
will be made with judicious care.
