The prominent item we give this week lie
that concerning two disciples of Hymen who
departed the life of single blessedness ON
Saturday last. Although their demise has
been expected for some time, by neighbors
and friends, it was, nevertheless, somewhat
surprise. The parties were Mr.. Chauncey
Harris of this place and Miss Lois Wheeler Of
West Townshend. The marriage ceremony
was solemnized by Rev. Geo. Porter at the
residence of the brides father, Dea. Wheeler.
The bridal party returned to this place dur.
ing the afternoon. In the evening a quiet
serenade was given, and persistent friends
called Mr.. and Mrs. Harris to the door, when
congratulations were offered amid exquisitoly
tantaiizing music rendered by the most tan
talizing Of musicians, (mosquitoes) in the
most bewildering manner. Fitting presents
were carried and presented by one of the
company, in short Speech as tokens of es-
TEEN, and good wishes for prosperous aud
happy life's journey. Mr.. Harris responded
IN felicitous manner and thanked tho don
ors for their presents, but said he especially
valued the kind feelings manifested and good
wishes given.
VIM. Harris and ]. w. Gould were ohos-
en- delegates to attend the Republican State
Convention. VIM. Harris, j. w. Gould and
DR.. Aver were chosen to attend the County
Convention.

In 1870 Henry Wilson wrote as follows to
an offiee-holdor who asked his opinion about
an assessment of one-half of one per cent
one-fourth as large as that lately levied by
the Republican Congressional committee:
when the paper was sent out wrote to
the Finance Committee that it had better be
recalled, and the officials asked to give what
they saw fit or nothing. then thought it a
mistake, and consider it so now. This form
was taken, was told so that all would CON
slider the amount small, and not feel that
they were expected to give larger sum. 1t
is mistake, however, and do not agree in
the plan, believing it wrong and calculated to
injure us more than it can help u.s."

The heart must be hard indeed that is not
moved by the sad and pitiable record sent by
Engineer Melville relative to the fate of Lieu
tenant De Long and his companions during
the few days preceding the final call to the
shadowy land. Day by day exposure and
starvation did their work, and one by one the
WORKOUT suffering yet courageous band drop
ped away and yielded to the inevitable. To
the last the survivors had firm, undying,
almost superstitious faith that the help which
never came must come. They died like heroes
every one, and none the less 90 because their
work had neither the necessity nor the merit
TO warrant the sacrifice which they SO bravely
made.

small pretext.

There was a very full representation in the
Republican county convention held at New
fame on Tuesday, the proceedings wero en-
tirely harmonious and the result of the con-
vention's work is not justly open to unfavor-
able criticism. 1t is rarely that a stronger or
better balanced senatorial ticket has been put
in the field. The entire unanimity with
which Col. Estey was put in nomination was
q gratifying evidence of the well-deserved
popularity which he enjoys in Brattloboro
and throughout the county He will bring to
his senatorial duties wide knowledge of the
affairs of the world, and the Legislative ex-
perience gained in his term of service in the
lower house will add materially to the efiicien-
cy of his work in the Senate. Mr.. Cuttings
nomination we esteem to be in every way
fortunate one. A practical representative of
the farmer element, he is also man of largo
general knowledge and attainments, and he
will bring wel-furnished and well-balanced
mind to the consideration of all Legislative
questions. As regards these senatorial nom
inees it is strictly true that TO both of them
the nomination comes entirely unsought.
Capt. Clarke's nomination for the associate
judgeship in this district evidently gives
pleasure to his legal brethren, and he will
bring to the duties of his Office dignity and
urbanity which will do credit to the bench.
As regards the nominee for states attorney
we can add nothing to what we said last week.
1t is peculiarly gratifying to US that our sug.
gestion relative to Mr.. Melendys re-nomina-
ton was taken up and carried out by the con.
vention. The county ticket throughout is a
clean and strong one, and one of which only
good things can be said. There was no fric
ton in the convention, and within our recol
lection the Republicans of Windham county
have not done better days work on similar
occasion than was accomplished by them or

For High Bailif j. @. Robinson nominated
Hon. j. L. Martin, a nomination which Mr..

tins nomination was withdrawn by Mr.. Rob-

For Probate Judge in the Marlboro district
Col Haskins nominated Hon. Royal Tyler
and for the same Office in the Westminster
district Hon. o. s. Howard nominated Hon.
A. Stoddard. Both gentlemen were nominal
ed by reclamation.
The county ticket having been thus COM
pleted, Col. Haskins took the floor to say that
an unintentional mistake had been made by the
county committee in issuing their call for the
convention-the representation of the several
towns having been based by them on the
vote for Governor in the last election instead
of on the population as has always been the
rule. This mistake, Col. Haskins said, was
in the right direction, and az long ago as 1866
he had tried to have the rule changed to the
one followed by the committee this year, but
in the confusion of the moment the motion
was laid on the table. For the purpose of
setting the matter right in the future Col.
Haskins offered the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, That the representation Of the several
towns in future county conventions shall be upon the
following basis viz: One delegate for each town, and
additional delegate for every fifty votes or frac-
ton thereof exceeding twenty-five, cast in the said
several towns for the Republican candidate for COVER
nor at the last preceding gubernNtorial election.
Hon. j. L. Martin, for the committee on
resolutions, presented the folio wing which
were unanimously adopted:
