The political cyclone" struck Montpelier
with great force, rolling up a majority against
Poland of 173 in a total vote of 37s. Berlin,

RECORD MATCH AT OAK GROVE RANGE sATUR
THE BATTERY MUSTER.

IN CAMP IN SPITE OF THE RAMA SUCCESSFUL
REyEw-DIsTINdUIsHED GENTLEMEN PRES
ENr-A JOLLY AND ENTERTAINING CANT. FIRE
THE MARCH TO oHEsrERFIELD GIVEN UP.
In spite of the steady and soaking rain
which prevailed on Monday, Fuller Light
Battery, N. G. ", L. X. Fuller, captain CON-
manding, went into camp on the old muster
ground, according to programme, though
there was little for the boys to do except to
make themselves as dry and comfortable as
might be. During Monday night the rain
ceased and on Tuesday the camp was under
full discipline and the regular routine of field
drill and camp duty was observed. Wednes.
day, the day Of the review, and the great day
of the encampment, was beautifully clear
and pleasant, with certain September crisp
ness and invigorating quality in the atmos-
phere which made outdoor life a pleasure
Gov. and Mrs. FarnhRm, with members of
the Governors staff and other distinguished
gentlemen, arrived by the morning train. At
~ o'clock camp dinner was served in the
Battery's spacious mess tent when Gov. and
Mrs. Farnham and the gentlemen referred to,
with party of some 80 or 60 ladies and gen.
tlemen of Brattleboro, were present by invi-
tation and partook of Col. Fuller's hospital
ity. After dinner an hour or two was spent
in an inspection of the camp, and in pleas
ant social converse in the braoing air and
bright sunshine. At o'clock the call for the
review was sounded and soon after the Bat
terry was in the field in line and the review
by the Governor took place, a governors sa.
Lutte of 10 guns having first been fred. Gov.
Farnham was assisted on the occasion by
Coils. Brooks and Paine of his staff, Quarter
master General Kingsley, Acting Adjutant
and Inspector. General Hooker, Col Austine,
Col. j. j. Estey, Capt. G, H. Bond, Hon.
Chas. Thatcher of Bennington, Warden Rice
of the Windsor prison, Mr.. A. W. Higgins
of Rutland, Mr.. @. S. Forbes of st. Adams
and several leading citizens of Brattleboro.
Music was furnished by the Brattleboro mill
tary band. The Battery took the field with
80 men in line and its appearance was such
as to call forth the warm praise of Gov. Farm
ham and the military gentlemen who assist
cd him on the occasion. The review being
over some two hours were spent in field drill,
with various artillery evolutions, closing with
an exhibition of firing practice for the bene-
| ht of the large number of interested speota-
tors who had been attracted to the camp
| ground by the review. In the evening a
cRmp-f fire took place as related below. Toward
morning heavy rain set in and prevailed
| throughout the day on Thursday. The ext
gencies of the campaign did not seem to re-
| quire the Battery to drag itself over the mud
| dy roads to Chesterfield lake under such cir
cumstances, and the two days camp at that
place was therefore reluctantly given up and
camp was broken during the afternoon.

" Bob.' I'VE drew immense crowds all the time

No, they have no proof against u.s."

would pocket all the money he could and

his men and was always willing to share his SpOlls

of the James family for years. Jesse had gained
his friendship by giving him stolen gold watch.

solves to acknowledge his own faults and to en-
deavor to win back his wIfes affections. She has dis
covered however, in the meantime, that her nus
band has been In correspondence with
woman of whom he had openly disap-
proved in her presence. and has come to the con-
clusion that he has been false to her This opinion
is strengthened by the gossip of one of her society
friends She therefore repels the advances of her
husband, and in defiance of his authority goes to
ball where she learns facts which confirm her
suspicious, When she returns home she finds her
child stricken by a sudden illness Her husband
then seeks a reconciliation, but she repels him. and
when their child finally. dies she turns from
