Second District Convention.

The meeting of republicans of the second
congressional district was held during the
recess of the state convention and Kittredge
Haskins of Brattleboro was made its chair
man. Mr.. Haskins spoke briefly upon the
issues of the coming national contest and
called forth peals of laughter when speaking
of the banner of the democratic party by
producing from his pocket a faded ban
dana of the most approved style.
Hon. w. w. Grout was nominated by DR..
II. ID. Holton of Brattleboro, and was chosen
by reclamation as the nominee for congress.
II. M. Harvey of Topsham presented the
name of II. G.. McDuffee of Bradford for
presidential elector, and he was made the
choice of the convention.
The following gentlemen were selected as
district committee: Windham county, e,
w. Stoddard, Brattleboro; Windsor, ID. l..
Gushing, Hartford; Orange, W. III. BuBois,
Randolph Caledonia, /. A. Shattuck, Hard
wick Orleans, Everett Davidson, Crafts
bury Essex, G. w. King, Lunenburgh
Washington, L. Bart Cross, Montpelier.
The sentiments of the Chicago and Yer
mont state convention platforms were in
dorsed as the sentiments of the republicans
Of this district, and the convention adj
journed after a session of only ten minutes
duration.

Crop Prospects.

The Springfield Republican publishes re-
ports from over one hundred correspondents
of the crop prospects in western New En-
gland, including western Massachusetts,
northern Connecticut and the southern dis
tricts in New Hampshire and Vermont.
All reports agree in declaring the grass
crop the best known for many years in both
quantity and quality In view of increasing
attention being given to dairy farming, this
fact is important. The growth of grains
were retarded by the cold and wet weather
of May, but the recent hot weather has
given them a start and good harvest is
expected The acreage of corn seems to
be increasing, evidently to the detriment
of tobacco which is steadily losing ground,
except in few towns in the Connecticut
valley. The little tobacco that is reported
is growing WELL but the cut-worms have
been doing it some damage. The high
prices for potatoes proved great tempta-
ton to farmers and large increase in the
acreage is noted everywhere, and if the wet
weather does not bring rot and the bugs
can be kept away potatoes will be plenty
and cheap next fall. Indications point to
fair but not large crops, and fruits and APP
pies will be comparatively scarce, the trees
in some localities having failed to bloom
Smaller fruits are being grown in the Con
necticut valley this year more extensively
than ever and the crop may be larger than
usual Wild berries are said to be very
plenty. Vegetables in general are said to
be in tiourshing condition.

also deeply gratifed by the congratulations
and the pledges of support for the ticket
which have been telegraphed me. | am
entirely satisfied with the platform and am
proud to he associated with so distinguished
statesman and soldier as General Har-
rison."
THE republican national committee chose
j. g. Clarkson temporary chairman and
Samuel Fossenden temporary secretary. A
committee of seven was appointed to secure
New York headquarters and make other
preliminary arrangements. j. G, Clarkson
Is chairman of this committee, and the
other members are j. S. Fassett of New
York, j. NJ. Haynes of Maine, Samuel Fes-
sender of Connecticut, George w. Hooker
of Vermont, Garrett A. Hobart of New
Jersey and John &. New of Indiana.
THE correspondent of the New York
World after describing the cheering which
followed the nomination of General Har-
rison, says "There was one man in the con-
vention who did not rise during all the cheer
ing, and he was the man of all men who
must have felt most elated. He was eX-Gov-
ernor Redfeld Proctor of Vermont. 1t was
by his suggestion and on his arguments that
his delegation determined to vote for Har-
rison in the first place, and he kept them
solidly together from the first ballot to the
last. Vermont casts eight votes for Cen
eral Benjamin Harrison in the governors
clear hard voice, had become one of the
most familiar sounds in the convention 1t
was great compliment to the governors

New Publications.

Sixty illustrations place Hdrper'S Mdgd-
zine among the art publications of July, yet
the majority of the drawings are evidently
intended as interpretations of the text only.
Zogbaum, the wel-known artist upon mill
tary themes, Edward A. Abbey and Alfred
Parsons, with five humorous and dainty
drawings accompanying the old English
song, with Jockey to the Fair" T. de
Thulstrup, George Du Morris and other
artists have made many pages a delightful
pictorial study. The frontispiece, repre-
sentaton of thrilling fight with savages,
calls attention to the beginning of novel
cite in two parts by II. Rider Haggard, en-
titled Moiwas Revenge" as sensational
and bold as one might expect. Mr.. How
ellis serial stands in contrast 10 this with
its fine study of character and its calm an
alysis of some social conditions of the labor
problem The short story of the number is
in negro dialect, by IL. S. Edwards, con-
tinuing the opportunity for education in
dialect which the magazines generally af-
ford. Among the descriptive papers, " A
Midsummer Trip to the West Indies" by
Lafeadio Hearn, has tropical style, and is
accompanied by interesting photographs of
negro types. The Great American Desert -
is shown by Frank III. Spearman 10 be bios
soming as the rose in Kansas and Nebraska,
Mr.. Charles Dudley Warner discusses
soberly some western capitals. An anti
quarian study is contributed by w. NJ.
Flinders Petrie. The departments are sug
gestive in social and literary matters.

much and decided interest, and his life since
had shown to those who knew IL best evil
dence of a true Christian spirit animating It,.
Full of comfort, too, were the closing hours
Of his life, in which was shown his readiness
for the great change Swaiting him. The
memory of his short life of eleven years
will be a blessed one. AS usual in cases of
diphtheria, the family was mostly deprived
of the active manifest sympathy of our cit-
zens, though much was felt for them. No
funeral service could be held at the house.
The body, needing to be buried as soon as
practicable, was followed to the grave by
hardly any others than the family, and that
amid the falling rain. Rarely does an event
here seem sadder altogether than did this.
- Two of the most faithful attendants
of the Congregational Sunday-school, Mrs.
Oren Smith (of whom a fuller notice will be
given later, the oldest, and Willie II. Sib-
ley, one OF the youngest, having died in the
last week, memorial service will be held
in the school in the near future. -
A Sabbath-school will be organized at
the W. n. Pratt schOo-house in the quarry
district next Sunday at two P. NJ. -
A rich treat was afforded us recently by
Editor W. f. Scott of the Barre Enterpris6.
He had just been presented with bound
volume of the VERMONT WATCHMAN for
1924 and 1928, which he allowed us to look
over at pleasure. And how could one get a
better picture of things hereabouts in those
days than by such a volume? We were es-
pecially interested in the accounts of the
efforts to get canal from Lake Champlain
to the Connecticut river. They read some
like our own efforts here to get a railroad
in the last year. A meeting was called in
Montpelier for May II, 1925, to consider the
subject of the canal. The committee ap.
pointed to investigate routes for it reported
on the 9TH of June following. Considerable
space is given to what this committee found
in Williamstown favorable for it. In this
report is mentioned the fact true to this
day of the stream that comes down from
the Harrington hill and divides-a part Of
the water going north and the other part
south To come upon the marriage, by Rev
Joel Davis, of Warren Poole, Jr., and Miss
Lora Smith, or the name of Darius Pride as
the member from Williamstown in the
legislature, etc, would naturally make the
intervening three-score and more years
seem like " a tale that is told" 1t would
not seem quite the fair thing to make crit
cal comparison of the WATCHMAN of that
day with the greatly improved appearance
of the paper of the present. But what
marked contrast there is! Can the coming
sixty and more years improve it as much

At Gettysburg.

The exercises of the great army reunion at
Gettysburg opened on Sunday. There was
a large crowd of visitors. which included
MANY prominent ex-soldiers and dis
tinguished men from nearly every state.
North and South, We extract the following
from a special to the Rutland Herald.
" Bishop Potter opened the exercises with
an eloouent PRAYER. and then Major t.. I
Halstead. president of the association of
the First Corps, introduced General James
A. Beaver, who delivered an address of
welcome Ex-Governor John C, Robinson
of New York, resting on his crutches, re-
sponded in behalf of the corps, and Freder-
lex Smith. the war governor of New Hamp-
shire followed with short address. Owing
to the absence of eX-Governors j. Gregory
Smith and Frederick Holbrook, both of the
war governors of Vermont, Governor Orms-
bee made a brief RESPONSE He said that he
had come the whole wav from Vermont
to tell the boys of the First Corps how glad
he was that he belonged to that glorious
command. Colonel l.. A. Grant. who com
handed the First Vermont Brigade in the
Sixth Corps, next made a few pointed re-
marks, and Major Halstead then called IN
Judge veazey of Rutland, who commanded
the Sixteenth Regiment of STANDARDS
Brigade during the battle. Judge Veazev
made a stirring address He remarked that
he was the worst scared man in the Is, 600
who went into the battle of Gettysburg, but
he was not as badly scared as at present
Addresses by General Longstreet and many
others followed.

on this field, and before the wear closes

Drinking Ice-Water.

That cool, refreshing drinks in warm
weather are delicious is undeniable. That
drinking ice-water in copious draughts when
person is overheated is injurious, not to
say dangerous, is also undeniable. But that
the free drinking of water in some form in
hot weather must be avoided is deDiable
and is one of the greatest popular errors
eXtant. When person is perspiring freely
from every pore vast amount OF water is
drawn from the body, which must be resup-
piled, or great injury is being done the
physical health, and the foundation of some
of the worst forms of kidney disease is
being slowly but surely laid. Why some
one will exclaim that is just what causes
kidney Notwithstanding water freely
which contains so much lime. Wrong
again! So long as the water drank is freely
carried through the system, and converted
in its passage to the naturally acid reaction
of the urine and perspiraton, no danger
can occur, by deposits of urea or lime in
the kidneys and bladder, because they re-
main perfectly in solution and are carried
out Of the body instead of remaining in it.
Literally they are washed out of the body
by the copious draughts of water that most
perfect of all known soulents), same as a
series of pipes are " flushed " with water to
clean them. Do not drink ice cold water
but pure, cool water. A little lemon Juice
will improve its effectiveness. Plain soda
water with a little acid is also excellent. If
from drinking too much ice-water you have
stomach cramps, or are water-logged," as
II Is called, or are attacked with cholera
morbus, summer complaint, diarrhna or
dysentery, do not resort To alcoholic stimu-
lating drinks, which irritate rather than
soothe and allay the Inflammation which
has caused the trouble, but adopt the prac-
tice of taking daily, just before retiring,
during July and August one ea.spoonful
of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment in little
sweetened water, which will prevent all
such attacks and i'll effects from lee
water In fact little pamphlet sent
free to any one by |. S. Johnson x Co.,
Boston, Mass, contains a vast amount of in
formation about treating those summer
troubles with Johnson's Anodyne Liniment,
1t is marvellous how many complaints this
old-fashioned remedy viii prevent or cure.

Nominated the Wrong Man.

Mr.. George A. Wattes of Bennington
who was nominated as one of the presi-
dental electors by the third-party pro-
hibition convention, has declined in the fol-
lowing letter
BENNINGTON, Vt, June 81, 1888.
" ReU. George l.. Story, Secretary: My DEAR
SIR-Yours of a late date, informing me of
the unanimous action of the late prohibition
convention in placing my name on the board
of presidential electors, is received. In re-
ply, while acknowledging the courtesy
shown, must decline the honor. My SYM
pathies are with the principles of prohibition,
but not with its development as a political
party. / am a republican and believe that
the true interests of temperance are best
conserved (when administered politically
by the party to which belong and to which
l have given lifelong adherence All the
prohibitory legislation we have had in
Vermont has been enacted by the republican
party, and / do not feel willing to lend my
influence in any way to take votes from it
and give them to the democracy, which does
not profess to be in favor of temperance, as
should do were l to accept the place now
offered by you. Therefore | beg to decline
the nomination. Cordially yours,
