Keen YOUR eyes open.

We are informed that a job is being
put up, on the sly, to send j. l.. Mar
tin to the State Senate, and that plans
have been laid to pack the caucuses for
him, as was done for Levi Fuller in
Brattleboro last Saturday. The voters
of this county might just as well elect
Gov. Smith to represent them i'll the
legislature as j. l.. Martin, for he will
talk and vote precisely as Smith tells
him to every time, as he always has
done. If the people of this county want
Senator Edmunds to be reelected, and
desire effective legislation to control the
railroad monopolies, they don't want to
give the job Of doing it to j. L. Mar
tin, for he is on the other side every
time, no matter what he may profess
for the sake of the office. He is for
Gov. Smith against the world, and
don't you forget it. He is one of his
free riders, paid attorneys and caucus
packers, and belongs to him body and
soul, hide and hair. So don't be fooled,
but send delegates to the county con-
vention who will sit down on him and
his master.

The County Convention.

So far as this end of the county is
concerned the county convention next
week promises to be quite harmonious.
For Senator, we have heard nobody
suggested but brother A. N. Swain of
the Bellows Falls Times, and presume
he will be unanimously nominated, as
he should be. For Senator from the
south end of the county very little has
also beed sain. A desire has been ex-
pressed here and there for the return of
DR.. Holton on account of the plucky
fight he made for railroad commission
two years ago, and we should be glad
to see him sent back, as a good many
others would, no doubt; but we have
been told that the Doctor himself does
not favor this idea. The only other
persons we have heard mentioned for
Senator, Except j. l.. Martin as no.
ticed elsewhere) are Edgar W. Stod-
dard of Brattleboro and Addison Whit
he'd of Vernon. Mr.. Stoddard is a
man of high character and ability, and
is reliable and sound on the Senatorial
and railroad question-in these respects
standing forjust what DIR. Holton does.
And we are told that Mr.. Withheld is
equally sound and reliable. No mis-
take would be made in taking either of
these three men. We have heard no
talk about any change in county Judges
and presume that none will be made.
And SO of Sheriff. Mr.. Kidder has
had but one term, and having proved
himself capable and faithful officer
will be re-nominated as matter of

names have been suggesten-J. e..
Eddy of Brattlcboro and Nj. A. Good
now of Wilmington, Whether the
fact, that Mr.. Eddy refused to vote
for Blaine will injme his chances, we
cannot undertake to say.

death Saturday. He was with Peter
Laporte, the foreman of the cutting
machine, on jog about 80 feet from
the bottom of the quarry when the ma
chine was derailed and in getting it
back steam guage was broken, allow

fused, Emond stepped off the edge and
fell to the bottom of the quarry. For
so feet he slid feet foremost down
steep incline, at the end of which was
an abrupt precipice 80 feet high, over
which he fell. AT the bottom of this,
on the marble blocks, Emond landed.

The prospects for good hay crop in
Vermont were never more flattering
than at the present time. The spring
opened about two weeks earlier than
usual and the weather has been very
favorable for the growth of vegetation,
but Notwithstanding the favorable as
pect it is yet too early to say that it will
exceed an average crop. The month of
June affects the hay crop in Vermont
more than any other month in the sea.

lident of large crop and "eount the
chickens before they are hatched." But
whether the crop shall be large or not
it is evident that grass will need emitting
earlier than for several years, and it is
none too early for farmers TO be making
preparations for haying. If the now
ing machines need repairs, they will
cost no more now than when having is
upon us. Rakes, forks and other tools
used can be put in readiness at any time

Five tramps broke into freight car
standing on the track at Montpelier
Juncti on, Friday night, and, with pis-
tolls and knives, defied the railroad en-
ployes to get them out. On the arrival
of freight train the hands succeeded
in routing them. Two of the gang
were afterwards captured at Montpel-
Ter, and the officers pursued and caught
the other three. They were a desper-
ate gang. One slipped the handouts
and tried to escape; another jumped
from swiftly moving carriage with
the handouts on his wrists, and officers
fired three shots over his head and were
about to shoot him down before he
stopped. All are now in Jail. They
attempted to wreck freight train by
throwing distractions Oh the track but
failed.

A Wreck.

A crowd of men sat in bar-room,
drinking in one of our large cities.
Some of them had crossed the line that
had separated sobriety from drunken
ness. Song and jest had filled the in
tcrvals between drinks, and all were
giving expressions of approval of the
jolly evening that had passed, when one
of the gayest of the drinkers read the
following poem, by Adah lsacs Men
ken, with such effect that the party
broke up without a word:
"Where is the promise of the years
Once written on my brow,
Ere errors, agonies and fears
Brought with them all that speaks in tears
Ere | had sunk beneath my peers?
Where sleeps that promise now?
'Naught fingers to redeem those hours,
Still, still to memory sweet.
The flowers that bloom in sunny bowers
Are withered oil, and evil towers
Supreme above her sister powers
Ofsorrow and deceit
81 look along the columned years,
And see hfe's riven fame
lust where it fell, amid the jeers
OF scornful lips, whose hooking sneers
Forever hiss within mine ears,
To break the sleep Of pain.
81 can but own my life in vain
A dessert void of peace.
| missed TIE goal | sought TO gain,
| missed the measures of the strain
That lulls flames fever in the brain
And bids earth's tumult cease.
"Myseli! Alas for theme so poor!
A theme but rich in fear.

A specter not within the door,
A houseless shadow evermore,
An exile lingering here"

cat the last session of the legislature all the
senators from Addison county voted against
the railway commission bill; all the senators
from Bennington county; all from Caledonia;
all from Chittenden; Essex's single senator
voted for the bill; two of Franklins voted a.
gainst and one for the bill; Graud Isle voted
no; Lamoile's one voice was for the bill; Or
angels and Orleans two votes were against the
measure; of Rutland's four, one only was for
the commissions one only from Washington;
no vote among Windsor county's three was
recorded in its favor, but Windham's two
stood up and were counted for the bill. Now
do the farmers and business men in those coun-
