Quite a stir has been made in the political
world by published interview" with Gen.
Grant, in which he attributes great vanity and
ambition to Hancock, and censures him Sc
verely for the course he took in Louisiana
fed the original interview but, even when
modified, the charges are of kind that must
make hard feelings between Grant and Han
cock without having much influence on the
presidential issue.

Tie Republican County Convention Of
Thursday last made an excellent nomination
for Sheriff. Mr.. Charles J. Porter, of Goshen
is an uneXceptionable man and will make good
sheriff if elected He is not the experienced
politician his opponent certainly is, and has an
uphill fight before him. Nevertheless with
strong effort, and with the tide setting to-
ward Eeputtcanism as it now appears to be
doing, the Republicans have chance of re-
deeaing to county.

Tuesday night OF last week the most valu-
able portion of Holmes, Booth & Hayden's
brass mills at Waterbury was burnt, causing a
loss of some $3.50, 600, and throwing 400 hands
out of employment The fire originated in
sparks which set the roof of the muffiing mill
on fire. This occurred before the shops
closed. The fire was at once extinguished as
was supposed, but just after the closing of the
mills got under such Roadway that the rolling
mill and lamp shop were both destroyed be-
fore the fire could be brought under control.
The property burnt was insured for 5000, 900.
The same firm had their spoon shop burnt in

Telegraphic reports from Ohio and In
diana indicate heavy Republican gains in
both States. Ohio has probably given from
5000 to 0,000 Republican majority, and In
diana is thought to have gone Republican by
from 1000 to 5000. Subsequent reports may
change the aspect of affairs, as they did in
Maine; but, as the reports now stand, they
indicate strong popular reaction in faver of
Republicanlsm, with vehement probability
that Garfield will carry New York and Con.
necticut in November, and possibly New
Jersey.

Capt. Holman, about 9miles up the river
For several years tho splendid corn crops
on this island have been damaged by
wild hogs, which bavo until now baillcd
the efforts of those who sought them.
CAPTAIN Holman otrored n reward for the
killing of a huge hog that was supposed
to bo on the island, when Mr.. John
Bower determined TO make search with
Bis dogs, having some of the finest bull
dogs in this section Loading his gun
heavily and taking his dogs, he pro-
cceded to the island and begun the
search. E. .s.... ..,. f.t.
IIs soon discovered tracks of an onor-
NOUS sizo, aud soon his dogs had taken
ap tho trail. Jfo followed the dogs but
d short time before no saw them engaged
In life and death conflict with tho
monster. The fight was terrible. Tho
dogs were cut badly from time to tlme
both dogs and hog being covered with
blood. While no was swaiting nm
opportunity to shoot the hog without
iDiuriug the dogs, tho angry combatants
rolled In u heap down into tho rayine.
Here the fight was kept up for u short
while, when tho hog ceased to contend
for lifo and death After being cleaned
Che hug weighed three hundred pounds.
Ills tusks were about eight inches long,
and crooked at the end. This hog Is
thought t' have been ut least ten years
old-having damaged the crops IN that
