FBIDAT MORNING f-KPTKMBER 14. 18CG The Third District. Wc publish to-day the rote on Member of Congress ol every tovrn in the district with the exception of three little town. Bcl vidcia in Lamoille Co., and Illoomfield and Victory in Kstex Co., which contain in the aggregate l.ut about 150 voters. Uur ic tapilulaticm therefore substantially gives the u-nil: for the distiic:. It shovvsa total vote of 15,385, of w hich Baxter has 7,172, Hovt 4,421, Biiginvm 3,347, and 445 scattering. Bax'.r fas a plurality of 2 731 ovtr Iluyt n::j f 2. 280 over HuU and scattering. The majority against Baxter, when the scatter ing rote of Essex Co , not reported , and the missing towns, are added will be about 1000. The chief explanatior- of Mr. Maxtor's levy prepooderat.ee is undoubtedly the cir-cums-ance that Mr. Hoyt aid Sot receive vutes enough. Bab there aie some minor facts worth noting Fur instance the littl-.-tciwn of Montgomery, in Franklin County wliii h cast last year lis votes all lot J, and which contains hut a little over 100 voters, casts now 207 votes for Baxter! and 223 in all. The town of Iraburh in Orleans Co , wbijb east lest year 1M Totes, casts 304 votes, of which I7 arc for Baxter. The ballot box in that town contained 35 wore volts than tbeie were voters on the check list. The catting down of bis vote to its b-gal limit, in those two towns alooe, wool! reduce Mr. Baxter's a2n-tu by over 1541 v How much of the fame process oi stuffing ballot boxes was earned on elsewhere, by Mr, Baxter's peo ple, we cannot say. I lose scrutiny would proiably show plenty oi it. How many votes lor Mr. Baxter were bought, no one knows ; but there are those who profess to know that they were many. Again, the re turns from Lamoille County show an un usual shrinkage in the Democratic vote of that county, and the heavy figures in Mr. Baxter's column wdl indicate to the satis ' ctioo of most where it was thrown. It will, of coarse, be reiuiiu'ired that the final proof of Mr. BxtrV caiplicity with office brokerage and c tiupti-in, wrs ob tained in shape to lay 'r- t'-c public too late to aflee: the election -t ) late in fact to react the larger part oi the district, where Mr Baxter's denial ol the charges was the list thing before tht people. Doubtless many cast their votes for Mr. Baxter in the belief that be was a persecuted man, who to-day are satisfied of his 2 tilt. Doubtless manv, misled by false assertions of Mr. IIoTt's political unsoundness, and personal unfitness, voiel reluctantly for Baxter as a choice of evils. We believe that with a more careful canvass, with a more popular can didate against faun, and with the added teg. linionv whub can be secured in the two months to come, the votes ol the classes and of the perplexed and di.-gi.sied republicans who declined to vote at ail, can be rolled up agiiruit Mr. Raxer, and we do not believe that be can ever represent t!ii- District again. The fhtladelnhla Convention. Aiur the organization of the Convention of Southern Loyalists at Philadelphia by the election of Hon. James Speed of Kentucky as President. A Committee on Resolutions, and another to prepare an address to the people were appointed. Scores of resolu tions wete offered at the assembling of the Convention ou Wednesday, by different per sons, read arid referred to the Committee. One which called opm Andy Johnson to Ti-'ign was enthusiastically cheered, also an other proposing that after the final adjourn ment oi the Convention all ol those dele gates bo can conveniently do so, join in a body or send a committee to it.

Another resolution calls for the enforce mtnt ot the Monroe doctrine, and expressed a hnpr that Maximilian will noon take French leave. A resolution that there should be no de late on any future resolution aflercd was voted down, and the convention adjourned at 1 P. M., it having been agreed to meet at half-past seven in the evening, to march to the Union League Club Houre, and there to fuse with the Northern Convention the chairman ol the joint committee to be ap pointed by the Union league and the officers of the two conventions to act as officers of their respective conventions. Tho turnout in the evening was tremend ous Broad Street, which is over 100 feet wide, wa packed fall for a long distance, and the crowd is estimated as high a: 100,. 000, who stood for hour" listening to (Jen. Butler, Senator Harlan. John iiinor Botts, Gen. Sehurz, Senator Wilson and others. After tho speeches were over a procession was formed, inarching through the principal treets. tin Thursday the Convention ic-assembUd, vd Mr. Cresswell of Maryland read the addret prepared by the Committee Judge Sherwood of Texas, oOertd a substitute, whioh was injected by the Convention, and the address of the Committee adopted amid great applause. The Committee cn resolutions then made rejiort. and their rcsoluti.ms were tcvcrally adopted, with loud cheers, except the one paT'E" a tribute to the memory ol Lincoln which wis approved by the rising in silence the whole body. Philadelphia Lojal Contention. srEEcnn or xxpbeszxtjltive mix. Iloa. A. J. Fletcher, Secretary of State of Ten nessee, who, when at home is a resident of the same town with Andy Johnson, made a capital speech. lie narrated the political history of the accidental President, whose tailor shop he pas ses every day as he goes to his office. Heden monstrated that Andy Johnscn has in turn be trayed the Whig party, the Democratic party, the Breckiandje rebels and the Lincoln Unioa- n,,w te is betraying the negroes, whose -Moses he promised to be, accepting from them the present of a gold watch, purchased with their hard earnings as a tuken of gratitude. Jow the negroes wish they had the watch back again, bat Johnson holds ca to that although he has betrayed and deserted them. Msjor Gen. Burcside, now Governor cf Rhode Island, attracted a large audience of "the boys in bine," and was enthusiastically received. His remarks were patriotic and earnestly in opposi tion to treason at the Jorth or at the South, while it was evident that he regards impartial MuTrage as inevitable.

He wish ed to cordially co-operate with all now congre gated here for this noble work. Gen. Hawlev, Governor of Connecticut, nude a short, sharp and decisive speech, in which he advocated equality of political and civil rights, anu lie was applauded to the echo. x-uovernor .Morton or Indian, on being in troduced as "the man who had in 18t3 crushed the Knights of the Golden Circle," said that he felt sad. Within a year and a half after the close of the war, it is hard to realize the drear? state or affair!, and there are multmngi and rebellious utttrances. He said that the rebels -acre clamorous to be heard in Ccngrees and car ry out the principles that they could not carry out in the Bell. The ; access of the loyal men in the Sooth depends on the success of their incnas in ine Aorih. ir we lose tbey are exiled. He expressed a hope that Gen. Grant would not lean to the Sooth. If we are not successful, it were better that we let the South go peaceably without the war. lie hoped in the justice and goodness of God. and that b; His aid we would triumph. Ex-Governor Yates of Illinois made an elo quent ant! patriotic appeal to those around him to sustain Congress in the present contest with the Executive, aad to stand np manfully in de manding equal and impartial rights lor all. lie was the most radical of all the speakers and closed his remarks with a complimentary alls sion to Mr. Fred. Douglass, who was preterit and who was loudly cheered as he cime forward. Mr. Douglass Heaven would pardon him, he hoped, if be introduced to their attention one with whom he bad been associated for fifty years the negro. In the first plane he re presented toe Mack race unmistakably; it was said that be had the blood of one of Maryland's early Governors in his veins. Then he repre sented both races connected, and he could say from personal experience that there could be no war of races in one body. (Laught-r.) Having left the land of slavery for the land of freedom, be could now represent the Sooth and the North understand inglr. Mr. Douglass asked his feUow-citixena a hat they proposed to do with the fast black population of the South some four or fire million! were they to be a Meeting or a curse to the countrv ? This was the question which now came home to us Sll. Statesmanship had but one answer and it had been uttered by Senator Tales to-day Philanthropy had but one answer, and it came from thousands of pulpits and platforms. The answer was this : Inaugurate a thorough and complete incorporation of the whole black ele ment into the American body politic. Anything else but that, in his judgment, will be an utter fallacy. There must be an unconditional and thorough incorporation, with all rights to sue and to be sued, with a right to all the boxes the witness box, the jury box and the ballot box. (Applause) I From the Detroit Post. Irreverence in Iligli Places. An irreverent familiarity with Divinity .wheth er the conception of that be in the form of cue God or many, is characteristic of barbarism. The savage who kneels before his idol for a favor does not hesitate to abuse it, pound its head, drive nails Into it, asd even split it up in a fit of rage if it fails to grant the prayers he lias made to it- In the gloomy religious lift of the middle ages, when Christianity was almost quenched by the immorality and degradation ol its supporters rather than'bv any persecutions from its cnexiies, the name of the Almighty lost all its impres siveness, and the most sacred scenes of its his tory, the ceremonial rights of its religion and its honest and most mysterious events were made the subject of the drama and the most popular mode of instruction and amusement. Asa specimen, which is fir superior to t of that kind of literature, we may take a pro duction written in the fifteenth century for the special spiritual benefit of the children, which, however, gives no adequate idea of the absolute immorality as well as sacrilege of some of them. Adam and Eve are introduced washing and dres sing their children to appear before the Lord.who hi coming from heaven to hear their lessons. The Lord himself soon appears seated like a schoolmaster, with his scholars standing around him Presently Cam, who, of coarse, is after time, comes running in with evident signs of baviBg been in the wars, and with bis head cov ered, and is rebuked by Adam, whoexelatme : "What ! with your hat on !" The young pu gilist then goes up to shake hands with the Al mighty and gives the wrong one; whereupon his father cans him, calling out .- "Ah, would you give your left band to the Lord T" To crown all, when Cain takes his place in the class, and begins to say the Lord's Prayer, the Devil, who w always present on each occasions, gets behind him, and becins to whisper in his ear. Thus prompted, Cain, by transposing the words, reverses the meaning, "exactly as an obstinate child who knows his lfson,yet decs not ehooee to say it." A fine poetical justice is "executed" in the last scene. The good children are to ride in carriages covered with cold and drawn by richly caparisoned horses, and be lords and may ors; while Caiu and the naughty boys and girls arc made cobblers and tinkers, and have only cobblers and tinkers for their companions. iut it appears that in the nineteenth century, and in the nation that boasts of its Christianity, and by its most conspicuous personages these characteristics of the Dark Ages are reproduced. V e have before alluded to a comparison whi-U Mr. Johnson instituted between himself and the Saviour, and the resemblance which he painted out between his human wisdom that pardoned rebels and the forgiveness which was granted through the merits or a Divine passion and sac rifice. In his speech to the delegation of tailors at Philadelphia, Mr. Johnson was guilty of a like dkregnd, not simply of good taste, but of good morals. Be very modestly and delicately said that he was not unmindful of his early "profes sion, that, m otberwords, he was not asnamed of his visitors, and would not forget them. The fact that such a man once belonged to it, it is true, was almost praise enough to utter of any "profession." Evidently feeling at a loss for eulogies asd fur other names, the mention cf which after his own would not be punting the lily and gilding refined glJ, he had but one re course left. There was but one other Being in the universe that could by His connection with it, add hoDorto the "profession." Mi. Johnson did not hesitate, but plunged boldly on : 'Vtheu wc refer to the profession that you represent here to-night, in connection with you, my fellow citizens in common, let me say that our groat father and head, the Lord of theworlJ, was a tailor by trade, and when you refer to the historic account of this thing, you will find that my remarks are literally true." Genesis, 3d chap. 2st v. Nothing bat the literature 0! that unenligh tened period to which we have already alluded will furouh anything so unhallowed as this. We do not mean to accuse Mr. Johnson of mean ing to be irreverent, ue expressly declirej in the speech from which wc have oaoted, that be did not intend to be facetious He probably has no idea that he is trampling upon and mocking the most sacred things in life, and is outraging the feelings of the great mass of Christian com munities to whom these things are dear. Correspondence of the Tree Press. The Late Dean Ilichinoiid. Albast. Sept S, 1S66. -Vtr. Edilort of 1 he Fret Prut : Some recollections of the late Dean Richmond, by whese death the Democratic party has sustained a gTeat loss, miy not be without interest. Whenever there was the slightest breeze in the political atmosphere, if you would drop in at the Debvan Hotel the chinccs were that you would encouater the Deaa. He was a ma5iivc man, and as he moved about among his friends, not to say his poppets, he resembled an elephant among the lesser animals. Xotwith standing his parsoa-likc attire, a plain sait of black cloth, the coat an old style dress coat, or what the sailors call a "claw-hammer jacket," be yet somehow always seemed to be in a belliger ant mood. There was a great deal of force ex pressed in his large featured, full, red face. His bearing all the while was as if he had his fists doubled ready to strike a blow. He was a quiet talker, so far as words were concerned, and yet it was a scene worth observing to see him "talk ing it into a man" at the Delavan. Such power and force were expressed in his commanding features, person and manner, that his listener though a well developed rain, always seemed soft and infantile in comparison with the Dein The Dean was by no means aristocratic in hi ways, on the other hand be was eminently dem- ocritis. Suppose be steps out of the Delavan and walks down the street. Passing a corner near the posteffice, we might find him, not now talk ing politics but puUiag sticks of molasses candy from an apple-and-candy woman's table on the side-walk and devouring them.or rather gobbling them up, or down, with singular avidity. He was as indifferent what Mrs. GrunJy would ssy about it, as the ragged urchins at his side who gsaed with amazement at the Dean's vast capac ity for sweetness. There was one cth"r place in Albany where he was sure to be loan J, and that was at the Capitol whenever an important tail road question was under consideration. He looked upon legislation as a skillful chess-player upon a game of chess. He hail his men well arranged, and knew how to move them ad van tageously. Now and then a Senator would get up a scene by alluding in a very tragic way, to those gentlemen who sit around this Chamber and gaze at the Senators upon whom they bring to bear :he pressure of millions upon millions ot dollars, accompanied with political power and influence." but I used to think this rather pleas ed the Dean It wa3 a tribute to his akin, and although intended to awaken the soeseienee of Senators, it always proved entirely harmless and inefficient in that direction. Tours, Jmoeixs." I'ESIDI.T JOHXSOX'S SPEECH AT CLEVE LAND. The following ate extracts from the speech the President made to the crowd at Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday, as reported by telegraph : Notwithstanding the subsidised tone of hire lings and traducerr. I have discharged all my duties and fulfilled all my pbdgts. and I say here to-night that if my predecereor had lived the vials of wrath would have been poured out upon him. (Cries of "Never ." "Three cheers for the Congress of the United States !") I came here, as I have been called upon, f r the purpose of exchanging views, and of ascertain ing if wc could who was wrong. (Cries of "It's you.") That was my object fat appearing before you to-night, and I want to say this, that I have lived among the American people and have rep-" resented them in some public capacity for the last twenty-five years, and where is the man or woman who can place his finger upon any single act of mine deviating from any pledge of mine, or in violation of the Constitution of the coun try? (CbeenC) Who is he? What language oc spt i w nat religion does he profess ." Who csa come and place his finger upon one pledge 1 eer violated or one principle I ever rroed fdse to .' (A voice "How about New Orleans!") (Another vowe "Hang Jeff Da vis !") Hang Jeft Davi, he says -(cries of no an 1 down with him ) Hang Jeff. Davis, he says. lA voice Hang Thd. Stevens, and Wendell Phillips.") Hang Jeff. Davis . Why don't yon una; nun : i-nesci"giveus toe opportunity.) Have ton not got the Court ? Have you not got the Attorney General ? (A voice "Who is your Chief Justice who has refused to sit upon the trial ?") I am not Chief Justice; I am not the piosecutuig Attorney; I am not the Jury. 1 will tell you what I d; 1 do. 1 called upon your Congress that is trying to break up the govern ment. (Cries of '-You be d d" and cheers, mingled with hisses great conAsnoo "Don't get mad, AnJy.") Well, 1 win tell yon who is mad; whom the Gods wish to destroy tbey first make mad. Did your Congress order any of them to be tried ? (Three cheers for Congress.) If I were disposed to nlav the orator, and Ahl in declamation to-night, 1 would imitate one of the ancient tragedies, and would take William j H. Seward and bring him before you, and point 1 you to the hacks and scars upro his person. (A j owe --uou oiess mm : ) 1 would exhibit the bloody garments, saturated with gore from his gushing wounds; then I would ask yon, why not 1 .1 . r-. . . ... ... - uuig lnau. otevensand nendetl l'hiilipe 7 Some of you talk about traitors in the South who have not courage to get away from your uomes ana ngut tnem. ( Laughter and sheers. ) Now when brave men have returned home, many of whom have left an arm, or a leg, or their blood, upon many a battle field, they find you at home, speculating and committing frauds on the government Laughter and cheers. You pre tend now to have great respect and sympathy for the poor, brave fellow who has left an arm on the battlefield. Cries, "Is this dignified ?" I understand yon; you may talk about the dig nity of the President Cries.-How was it about his making a speech on the 23d of February ?" I have been with yon in the battles of this coun try, aad I can tell you furthermore, to-night,who has to pay these brave men who shed their blood. You've speculated, and now the great mass of the people havo to work it out Cheers. I5ut, fellow citiaens, let this all pass. I can not for my dignity. There is a certain portion of our countrymen who will respect a eitisen when ever he is entitled to respect, A voice 'That is so.' There is another cf them that have no respect for themselves, and consequently they have no respect for any one else. A voice "Traitor." I know a man and a gentleman when ever I meet him. I bare only to look in his face.ind if I was to see yours by the tight of day, I do not doubt that 1 should see cowardice and treachery written in it. Laughter and cheers. If you ever shoot a man, you will do it in the dark, md pull the tricger when no one is by to see you. Cheers 1 understand traitors. I have been 6ghting them at the South end of the line, and we arc now fighting them in another direction. Laughter and cheers. I came hero neither to criminate nor to recriminate, but when attacked, my plan is to defend myself. Cheers I tell you, my countrymen, that though the powers of hell and Thad. Stereos and his gang were by, they could not turn me from my pur-pt-sc. There is no power that could turn me, except you and the Uod that spoke me into ex istence. In concluding, the President said : He thought the time hid come when those who had enjoyed fat offices for four years should give way for those who had fought for the country, hence it was seen why he was assailed and tra duced. He had visited them in the field, and, God wdling, he would stand by them. He bad turned aside from the thread of his remarks, to notice the insult sought to be ziven him. When an insult was offered, he would resent it in a proper j manner, but ue was tree to say, he had no re vengeful or resentful feeling. All he wanted when war was over, and peace had come, was for patriotic and Christian men to rally round the tlag of the country in a fraternal hog, and re solve that all shall perish rather than that the Union shall not be restored. While referring to the question of suffrage, some one in the crowd asked htm "How about LouisUai?" To which he replied, "Let the negro vote in Ohio before you talk about their voting in Louisiana." When Mr. Johnson asked the people to sustain bim. he did not expect such an em phatic answer from Vermont. jV. Y. Trt btine. As LvuDEiT at PniLADEti-nu. A cor respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette relates the following as happening at the Philadel phia Convention : While Doolittle was speaking, ScrgctnUat Arms McClosky, late of the Charleston Coavcn hn.?Ml fintllf, nf whisker to a stumd radical reporter to pass up to the platform. Of course he wanted it to be slipped up quietly The reporter did not seem to understand me Democratic way, and held it up as hh as pos sible he reached it up over the stage. For a moment every Democratic eye was cn it, all lips in sight of the reporter's table gave an instinc tive smack. But it was not just the thing to have that bottle there, and the reporter seemed inclined to hold it up till some one took it. At last a Vice President advanced across the plat form made a raid upon it, and hiding it under his coat, took It where it could be appreciated, ."Icmhcrol Congn, Jd District FBAMKLIX COUNTY. Ilort.

The number of visitors to the Fair is largely, augmented by every train. The morning train from Fitchburgh to-day brought two thousand ' persons. For theaecommodation ol persons who are unable to find lodging ia town, extra trains j are run to the neighboring villages where there I s more room. Some ide m ly be formed of the number of people attending the Fair, from the fact that at the "Brattlcboro House"aIene some four hundred persons find lodging and the table boarder senmber as many as eight handled. Great credit is due to the committee of which Col. P. M. Waiteia chairman, for their exer tions to furnish lodgings for strangers.

This, the list diy of the Fair, though a great soceess, bu not had w Urge an attendance as the hut two days. This is generally the case. since a Urge class of visitors do not care to see tbe races, which characterize the dosing day cf all Fails, The attendance, however, was by no means rasigmfieaM. It is estimated that as awny as eight thousand persons were on the ground to-dy. The receipts were about fifteen hundred dollars. A description of the weather would be 00I7 a repetition of what has been raid of every day; that it could not be more favora ble. Tht first thing on the programme to-day was the exhibition of stallions over cubt years aid mra premium. There were several entries in this class, of which. " Young Ethan." by Holbbird A Satterly of Shtlbarn.anl three others, one by Mr Cole of Ladlow, one y Mr Cbapin of Ben Biagton. awl one by .Mr Barker of Castleton, wert from Vermont.

At ten o'clock tbe exhibition of carriage horses took place At 11 o'clock the dense mass of people Sock ed around the Judges' stand to listen to ex-Gov. Andrew's Address. The speaker and other in vited guests were escorted to the stand by a large proccsrion of citizens and friends of the Fair. There wert in the procession besides Gov. Andrew. Governors Bumside of Rhode Island and DtHingham of Vermont. Hon. Luke P. Poland anl Hon. F. II Woodbrklge. Dr. Linn. President of the N". E. Agricrltural Society, Ju Ige rolburn.

General Burcekle was especially com plimented by the vsat audience Governor Dil lingham was then introduced by Judge Colburc, after tut applause had subsided. The Governor declined to make an address as he had been an nounced to do, but, after a few brief remarks, alluding to tbe ft that all the ether New Eng kad Governors were attending the Convention at Philadelphia instead of being present, intro- dne-d General Barnside. Governor of Rhode Island. The General' appearance was the signal for the most deafening aad rrotooged cher. After quitt bad been restored, the General briefly re turned thanks for tbe hearty reception and gave way to ex Governor Andrew of Massachusetts, who was most appropriately introduced by Gov ernor Dillingham. Gov. Andrew took as his subject, "Diversified Industry m its rehttnn;to tbe prosicrily of American Farmers." The subject was, of course, well handled by the speaker, and bis views fully enforced by facta aad figures. Tbe address though occupying nearly an hour and a half in delivery, was lis tened to with the closest attention throughout At three o'clock P. M., there was an exciticg running race between the thoroughbred fillr, "Rurkja," cf W. W. Chenery of Belmont.Mass., and a bay gelding owned by a Mr. Sawton, res idence not ascertained. Ruriea won the race in two straight heals, the best time being 2 OSJ. An impromptu race had been arranged in the meantime for a purse, the Society offering $100 ami each horse adding twenty dollars.

The first heat was won easily by "Simp son," in 2. 1 1. "Billings" was withdrawn alter the first heat and " Sampsoa " took the purse. Best two in three, mile heats. The last feature of the I air was the grand race between "Ethan Allen" aDd "Grace" or 'Fearless," a Bctton mare. A great crowJ hail assembled to witness tbe last public performance of the old veteran, as his owner intends this shall be. "Ethan" was entered by his owner, Geo. C. Maynard of Boston, and "Grace'.' by C. F. Whitcamb, also of Boston. In the first hAt "Grace" had the inside. "Ethan" led off several length , which distance he kept till the home stretch, when the marc closed up the gap but came in a length behind. The second heat was a repetition of the first, though more closely contested, "Ethan" winning by a "throat latch." Time 1st heat, 2.38: 2d, 2.391. "Ethan," though now 17 years old, still dis plays those wonderful qualities which have made him so cetehrated, but his friends will rejoice at the determination of his owner to withdraw him from the race course altogather. Thu endit the third fair of tht New Eoxh d Agricultural Society, and the fourteenth of the Vermont State Society. Though united as far aa regardH the exhibiticu of article", the Ver mont State Society bore all tin expniM-i and took all tbe receipts, the New England Society inertly lending its name and prestige. While the iTesielcnU ami Secret trien of tho two socie tim co-operated with each other, the virtual management of the fair was in the hands of tbe Vermont Society. Its officers appointed tho Marshall, and in faet had tho complete direc tion of tht ground. The oEkerx of the two So cieties are iwrfeetly vatinried with tho result of tbe fair. Pecuniarily and as regards attend ance, it was a complete success. Tho total number of peoplo who visited the grounds aro estimated at fifty thousand, and the receipts will foot up about fifteen thousand doUare. The profits of course go to the Vermont Society, and will coneidciably increase its funds, which last year amounted to about eight thousand dollars. Still there, is a feeling among many .candid judges, that the Fair was hardly what ought to have been expected from the united efforts of tho six New EngUnd States. Mastachusetta exhibited a, wan natuial, a Urge proportion of the articles. Still Bier manufacturing interetts were poorly representeiL In cattle she tock probably four-fifths of the premiums. Connec ticut and New Hampshire had a small number of articles, whDe Rhode IfUnd and Maine ex bibiteil comparatively nothpg. Vermont ef course excelled in sheep and tarnished probably the most hoi bc. Utru her exhibition may be tsid to oad, and tho question arises, what woi'd tbe Vermont ftate Fair have been alone. Manifeatly, it weald litre consisted of a large - I collection of merinoc she.p and a few horses.- There would havo been but few. cattlo ami afe- 1 chanic Hall would have been almost vacant It a certainly a credit to the State that tht rais es horses of such excellent character, and that her reputation for heep breedinc Is world wlda. But sho should not stop here. Aa Judga Cot burn remarked ia his speech before tho Wool Growers' Association, "Wears too much agri cultural. On account of cur exclusive devotioa to sheep raising, we neglect other and mors tfti r"rtant interests, and as a consequence though an agricultural people, suffer ourselves to bt. out-done at Agriciltural Fairs. We nend a more diversified industry, and until our ptopU act upon this principle we shaU see no perma nent increase in iiopulatioa." W e are indebted for favors to Messrs.

The St. Albans Messenger in its persist ent allu'tons to the Burlington Post Office, as an explanation of our opposition to Mr. B ixter, imputes to us the highest motive it is capable of conceiving. Its own course furnisher abundant proof of this. Tbe Mtssenytr supported Mr. Baxter when its editor was an applicant lor the St. Albans Post office. When the office was given to some one else, the Messenger bitterly opposed Mr. liixtcr. vVhen a new arrangement was undo by which the Messenger man obtained a third eharc in the emolument of tho Post offiec, the Messenger changed to a supporter of Mr. Baxter as suddenly as it did from ths upport of Mr. Poland to that of Mr. Mor rill : and the taking away of lU ibare ia the plunder would unquestionably array It again, to the extent of its feeble ability, against the hand that now provides it with its rations of pap. Such a journal can neither help or hurt any man ; but for very sbamc one would suppose it would nevtr allude to u post office again. Fatal Accident. George Piatt, youngest eon of James S. I'latt of Colcbcuter.a boy of 12 years, was killed Thursday evening by a fall from i horse. lie had ridden to tht Post Office and was returning, when at is s upposed. the horse stumbled and fell, throw ing him 08, and in recovering himself, step ped on the boy's head fracturing the skull.

He was a fine boy asd the pet of the family. This is what KinsclU.

"On this line," then, it must be under stood, that tho battle with the "ring" will be fought until a result is gained.
