The Vermont Republicans talk of nomn-

Governor, and we are sure they cannot do
better. Col. Farnhqm was born IN Massachii-
sets, but his father removed To bradford
when he was boy. He was fitted tor col,
lege in the academy of that village, graduated
at Burlington. and, after studying law, began
the practice of that profession at Bradford
He was one of the first of the Vermont sol
dcrs to 90 to the war, and is popular with
the soldier element Of the State. has served
in the Legislature and been district attorney
for Orange county. lie is about fifty-four
years of age and is in every respect proper
man for the place.-Bostcn 1fare.ler,

Colonel Farnliam is n gentleman Of excel
lent standing as lawyer; he was faithful
soldier he is a man of irrcproachable public
character and of courteous and popular man
ncrs he would make an excellent Governor,
and from the present outlook is not likely TO
have any competitor before the Convention.

There remains yet to lie disposed of by the
House three appropriation bills the lcgisla-
tive, executive and judicial-and the sundry
civil and the general deficiency bill.
The appropriation for fuel, light, water
and miscellaneous items for public buildings
for the current year is not sufficient to meet
the requirements beyond the 18th inst, con-
grcss not having yet provided for the dcfl-
cheney. In consequence officers in charge
have been instructed not 10 incur any liabil-
ity for gas or water after that date until Con
crcss makes an appropriation. On that date,
then, if the necessary appropriation is not
made, gas and water will have TO be cut off
in all public buildings.
Mr. Bayard's bill regulating the pay and
appointment of special deputy marshals was

President will at once issue his proclamation

PoRT HENRY, MAY S-News has Just

a part of the town fell in during last night
burying about two hundred men. The work
of elimination has been begun and bodies
are being taken out in a horribly mutilated
condition. The number of killed is not yet
asceriained, but it is hardly probable that
any of the workmen have escaped death or
injury.
The news was Immediately placed upon
the FREE PREss bulletin board and at once
created intense excitement, and for several
hours nothing else was talked about. In
mediately on the receipt of the news the
Free PeEss, hardly crcditing the possibility
of calamity of such enormous magnitude,
telegraphed TO the manager of the Port Henry
telegraph Office for details That town being
on another line and all messages being re-
pcated at Whitehall communication is
very slow, and it was not until after eight
o'clock that we received an answer to our
despatch When it did come. however. it
pretty ciIectually disposed of the sensation
and everybody was corrcspondingly relieved.
