seat, and the Ohio republicans have
already re-nominated Gov. Foraker.
In Virginia too it is to be demon
strated if Malone can beat the demo-
cratic party on his own stamping
ground. Perhaps the most impor-
tant feature of the fall elections will
be the proof of whether the distribu-
ton of Offices on the spoils system,
which has been adhered to pretty
vigorously by the present admins
tration, strengthens or weakens the
republican party. This phase of the
coming elections will be watched
with more than usual interest, es-
peciallv as President Cleveland's at
tempted reform bore so little fruit.
Still if the republicans do strengthen
themselves by means of the spoils
system it will not prove conclusively
that this is the best method for the
welfare of the country.

LOWER WATERFORD.
Death of John Houehfon.

John Houghton died on Saturday
after long and painful illness borne
with the utmost patience Mr..
Houghton was 70 years of age. He
was one of the successful farmers in
town and a sound business man,
quiet and unassuming in his ways,
yet he did not lack the courage to
express his views for a cause which
he thought right. He was a sound
temperance man both by precept and
example He has held nearly every
office in the gift of his townsmen,
having represented the town in legis-
lature of 1872. His funeral was held
at his late residence on Monday last
where a large number of friends gath
cred to pay last tribute to one sin
cerely respected and mourned He
leaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs.
Frank Hastings, who have the SYM
pathy of all in their great affection
Miss Bernice Holland is visiting
friends in Danville.
Mrs. Abel Goss lies in a critical
condition--Mr. Carter is confined to
the house.

THE FALL ELECTIONS.

The elections to take place this
year are assuming interest. Some
fifteen states are to choose state Off
GERS. but only six will elect govern
ors, namely Ohio, Virginia, New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts, Iowa and Miss
issippi- The question in Massachu-
sets of whether the voters will raise
Lt.-Gov. Bracket to Gov. Ames'
place or elect Mr. Grape or some
other man, is of interest, for as rule
the t-gOvernorship has not
been place heretofore in the Bay
state from which to step into the
governors shoes The election in
Ohio is exciting interest for beside a
governor, state legislature is to be
chosen which will elect a U. S. sena-
tor in place of Standard Oil Payne
Murat Halstead, who was not con-
firmed by the Senate as minister to
Germany; is a candidate for Payne's

Preferred the State Prison.

David H. Palmer, sent to prison at
Jackson, Michigan, for the murder of
his wife, has been an exemplary pris-
oner, and was given more than the
usual liberties. One morning he was
filling large cask with scraps, when
an idea struck him. He put a false
head in the cask about midway of its
length, and then placing citizens
clothes, a hammer and a chisel in the
barrel, got in himself. Another head
was fastened in the cask by Palmer's
fellow-convicts, and the cask was
taken to the freight Office. AS it was
being loaded on the car the freight
handlers heard a wild appeal for help
which they could not at first under
stand. Finally one of the men open
ed the cask and drew the prisoner
out more dead than alive. Palmer
was turned over to the authorities.
He declares that he would rather
stay in prison for life than undergo
again such torture as he experienced
during the three hours; he spent in the
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1889-08-08
LOCAL NOTICES.

Not every one can afford the ex-
pense of a valet or dressing-m maid,
and the latest idea which society has
adopted is the use of an English
clothes-pole in the place of a servant.

VeruInuf,S Trout LAW.

Vermont is trying to perpetuate
it's trout. The last Legislature pass
ed law making it punishable by
fine for a fisherman not to throw
back into the water any trout he
may catch not six inches in length.
The law is dead failure, as any one
knows how delicious are the little
fish of the mountain streams would
expect it to be. At the same time a
law was passed prohibiting the
catching of trout between the 1st of
August and the 1st of April, and if
this is obeyed Vermont streams will
yield better strings of fish than have
been caught in recent years. But it
will be hard to enforce it against the
small boy of the rural district and
the sport-loving city visitor Bos-
ton Traveller.
