inc l-emneylNhnlu Revolt.
The Pennsylvania Independent Republi
cans held their state convention at Philadel-
phiA on Wednesday, and nominated the fol-
lowing ticket:
Governor-John Stewart Of Franklin county.
Lieutenant-Governor-L. b. Duff Of Allegheny.
Secretary OF Internal Ahairs-G. W. Merriok Of IL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS McMichael Of Phila-
delpha.
Judge of the Supreme Court-Georgo Junkin, Jr,
of Philadelphia.
Senator Mitchell presided, and in his open
ing speech said that the work of the conven-
ton was not to nominate a ticket that would
help the Democratic party or defeat the Re-
publican party, but to nominate one that
would secure tho respect and support of the
Republican party, and be an open declaration
against bossism and machinism, and tear them
up root and branch. Another leading speak
err declared it to be the purpose of this move
ment ito take up the work where Garfield
left of when Guiteau's bullet struck him
down, and, with the help of the people, to
finish it for him" The platform adopted de-
clares attachment to the principles of the Re-
publican party, and that the election of Gar
field meant q true reform in the civil service
a reform which has been thwarted by the
calamity of his assassination; it denounces
the system which makes patronage and spoils
out of public offices, declares purpose to
take up the work (which fell when Garfield
fell, demands the reform of the civil service
by law, and specifies certain radical reforms in
party management in the state which ought
to be brought about. The whole sentiment
of the convention, it is needless to say, was
opposed to the Cameron management. John
Stewart, the nominee for governor, is one OF
the ablest lawyers in the state, an experienced
legislator, an orator of power, and a man OF
clean character. Had Garfield lived, it is
said, he would have been appointed to first
| class foreign mission

The Pacific National Bank of Boston which
suspended some months ago and resumed but
few weeks since, stopped payment on Mon
day and will wind up business. The sus-
pension is due to lack Of business since re-
sumption, public confidence not having boen
great enough to warrant any large dealings
with the concern. The immediate cause of
the suspension was the maturing of $500, 900
on Saturday, which the bank was unable to
pay, and which went to protest. tits under
stood that all depositors will be paid in full
but that the original stockholders will have
their investment of $2,OOO,OO wiped out
Mr.. Linus NJ. Price has been appointed re-
ceiver of the bank and will have his prelim
mary report ready in q few days.

THE LATE sHAnoR GRAY.
Mr. Sharon Gray, whose death was noticed I'm
last weeks pHRNfx, was not only Of the ol1es,
but one Of the most highly esteemed citizens Of The
town. His ancestors were Of English origin and for
generations past have been noted for their uteoIls
and sterling worth. Mr.. Gray was the third In tx
family Of nine children Of James and Betsey 3rny
who were among the early settlers In town sbarey1
was born, Aug. 1900, on the farm now owned and oc
cuped by Prentss d. Carr. When fourteen years
old his parents moved TO the large farm about Two
miles east Of the village, which the subject Of this no.
tce occupied until the year 1862 at which time bo
sold that farm and moved TO the place north Of tbe
village, where he remained until his DEATH having AL
ways lived In town. At the age OF IS be married
Stella, the Oldest daughter Of Hon. W. r. Rannev Inv
whom he had two sons and two daughters. The an:
Charles and james, both living, and the youpeest
daughter, now Mrs. Eliza Broughton Of Broom6ejd
n. j. The other daughter, Mrs. Lewis and the Viz
and mother both died within few years. Mr. Grav
was brother Of Prof. Aonzo Gray, late OF Brookiyn
N. Y. During the life Of the deceased he held H.
many years most Of the important Offices OF the town
to the entire satisfaction Of his fellow citizens YET
he was very far from being ia any sense an once
seeker. Though quiet aud unassumng, therf
few capable Of correctly judging character AZ
he, and who regarded with dsfavor little Act
Of meanness. In his death the town loses a valued
and esteemed citizen and, with his relatives, mournp
his loss.

Business is at deadlock in the House Of
Representatives this week, owing to the fill
clustering tactics adopted by the Democrats
in the Mackey % Connor- Dibble contested
election case in the second South Carolina
district. In the election in this district the
number of votes found in the ballot boxes was
go 600, while the number of names on the
tally lists was only $4,000, showing that at
least COCO fraudulent tissue tickets were in
serted. In Withdrawing this surplus of COCO,
nearly 5000 Republican tickets, honestly cast,
were thrown out. 1t is shameful outrage
like this which Democrats in the House are
backing by their ilibustering tactics.

In the Jennie Cramer murder trial at New
Haven the state has rested its case, and evil
dence for the defence has begun. The evil
dence for the state tended to show that a plot
was laid by the Malley boys for Jennie Ora
mers ruin that the woman Blanche Doug
lass was brought from New York to aid in the
scheme; that Jennie was forcibly detained
over night in room with one of the Malleys,
and that the following night she died from ar
senical poison, and her body was found in
shallow water near the shore. The defence
will try to show that the girls ruin was moi
forcibly accomplished, and that the arsenic
from which she died was administered by her
own hand, after she had been driven from
home by her mother because of her conduct
with the Malleys and the Douglass woman.

In compliance with the enactment passed
by the Legislature of 1880 entitled can act
fixing the time for the next election of Rep
resentatives in Congress-, Gov. Farnham has
issued his proclamation declaring that enact
ment to be the law of the state. This act
simply divided the state into two congress
ional districts instead of three, its operation
being made contingent on the passage of a
new apportionment bill by Congress, before
July, 1882, giving Vermont only two Repre-
sentatives. The First District under this
new arrangement, as our readers already
know, comprises the counties of Bennington,
Rutland, Addison, Chittenden, Franklin,
Grand Isle and Lamoille, and the Second
District the counties of Windham, Windsor,
Orange, Washington, Caledonia, Orleans and
Essex.

Boston company has been organized for
the purpose of sinking wells in the state of
Vera Cruz Mexico, with a view Of obtaining
petroleum in profitable quantities, and bringing
1t into competition with the Pennsylvania and
New York product. For the past few days
the petroleum market has been greatly exoit-
ed and appreciably depressed by the reported
opening of a well in Warren county Pa,
which flows 800 to 600 barrels of oil per day.
The story is that the owners of this remarka-
bic we'll the Union Oil Company, struck oil
there about three months ago, and Immediate.
ly plugged it and stopped its flow, ostensibly
to build suitable tanks on the property, but
in reality to buy up adjacent property and
also to manipulate the market. They kept
the well guarded by night and by day from
all intruders, and last Thursday it was reopen.

The recent closing exercises at Leland
and Gray Seminary gave the best evidence
Of the progress in scholarship Of any for
many years indeed it is doubtful II, in their
general excellence and amount, they have
been excelled in the whole history OF the in
stitution. The music by Mr. Lake and Miss
Clarke of SaXtons River, assisted by Mrs.
Stoddard, accompanies, added not little at
tractiveness TO the various meetings, and won
for them much praise and many admirers.
The attendance, notwithstanding the large
number Of public exercises and the rainy
weather, exceeded expectation, filling the
large audience-room of the Baptist church at
the graduating exercises. The prizes in the
class in elocution were awarded TO Miss Ella
A. Stuart of Londonderry and BENZ O. Gill

Cora e. Allen of Leominster, Mass, in class

At no congressional session in recent years
has money been voted for public buildings
With such prodigality as at the present one.
Last week $2,275 900 was voted away for
this purpose, few days before more than
million was voted on less than ten minutes
debate, and on several occasions hundreds Of
thousands of dollars have been similarly
voted away. In last weeks raid Senator
Bayard was one of the foremost grabbers,

importance to all people who handle the let

unlawful purpose a letter addressed to anoth.
er before it is delivered by the carrier. In
the Gaze in question letter had been left by
the carrier in the hall of the house instead of
being delivered into the hands of the person
to whom it was addressed. The defendant
took the letter from the hall and was indicted
for the offence. His plea in defence was that
the letter had been delivered by the carrier
and that the act was not punishable under the
United States statute But the court decided
that the delivery of the letter in hall or
private box, is not such delivery as puts It
outofthe custody of the postal authorities; in
other words that the letter, from the time
it is received by the post Office to the true it
reaches the hand of the person to whom It is
