Jlr. IMllutrV Speech.
The speech of the Hon. Frederick
Billings before the State Convention
here on Wednesday was a fine, earnest
and eloquent effort, and received by the
Conveution with much favor. We shall
attempt no abstract of it, as we hope to
publish it entire next eek.
The State Cuuveutlun.
Our report of the State Convention ii
not quite as full as intended, owing to
other duties we had during the day.
Nothing material however is omitted.
The attendance was unexpectedly large,
considering the business was only to elect
delegates to Philadelphia, there being
some 300 present and nearly 200 mem
bers with credentials. The convention
included many of the best men of the
Slate, and its action no doubt correctly
reflects the sentiment of a great majori
ty of the people of Vermont. It was
very harmonious, but a single ballot be
ing taken during the day. The delega
tion elected to Philadelphia, headed by
Ex-Governor Smith ot St. Albans, is a
strong and able one, aud good for any
emergency that may arise. Very prop
erly nn instructions were proposed, and
below we give the principals of the del
egation as follows:
AT LARGE.
Hon. John G. Smith. Su Albans,
lion. Horace Fairbanks, Sl Johnsbury,
Hon. Benj. II. Steale, llartlan ,
Hon. Geo. W. Grandey, Vergennes.
FIRST DISTRICT.
Geo. A. Tuttle, Esq., Rutland,
Dr. George .Nichols. Northfield.
SECOND DISTRICT.
Hon. James Hutchinson, Jr., Randolph,
Hon. William Harris, Jr., Windham.
TUtKD DISTRICT.
Hon. George Wilkins, Stowe,
Lawrence Limes, Esq., Burlington.
Fire at Rockingham. The dwelling
house and three barns of Isaac Rice at
Rockingham were totally destroyed by
fire on Tuesday. The fire took probably
from sparks from the chimney falling
down upon the roof of the house. We
understand most of the household goods
were saved. Loss not estimated, and ao
insurance of $700.
A later report informs u 3 that but few
of the goods were saved, Mr. Rice being
nearly a helpless invalid could only kit
n his chair in his front yard, and see
bis buildings burn.
Fire in Westminster. The dwel
ling bouse and barn of Elijah Farr,
known as the ' Priest Arnold place," in
Westminster, was destroyed by fire on
Sunday about noon. Most of the house
hold goods were saved. The barn con
tained some bay which was of course
destroyed. The fire spread rapidly into
the lots being carried like a shower by
the high wind prevailing, and was only
prevented from more extensive mischief
by the exertion of the citizens. We
learn there was an insurance on the
buildings but there is some question as
to whether it is good. The fire is sup
posed to have taken from the burning
out of the chimney by sparks falling
upon the roof.
Putney. On Monday of last week
John Robertson's house took fire from
the furnace, but was soon extinguished
with very little damage.
The Jerry Ryan place was sold at
auction on the 20th ult, for SI 305, to
Mrs. Willis Johnson. "Uncle" Jerry
Ryan leaves this week to spend the re
mainder of bis days n'uh his grand son,
O. R- Smith, who is State Superinten
dent of schools for Wisconsin. He was
born iu Putney and is now eighty-one
years of age, and will be greatly missed
in that community.
Railroad Accident. A height
train from this place on the Rutland &
Burlington railroad, consisting of some
fifty cars, arrived at East Wallingford
on Thursday evening at nearly 9 o'clock
and stopped to take on wood, during
which time the mixed train came along
aud ran into the rear end of the fre ght
train, throwing the engine down an em
bankment of some fifteen feet. No one
seriously injured. The engineer, Martin
Ross, bravely stood at his post and went
down with his engine, and fortunately
escaped with but a few bruises. The
fireman jumped off beiore it went down.
It was remarkable that it was not more
serious. The fault was probably with
the freight train, in giving do signal,
though we have seen no statement as to
the fault.
First Newspaper in Bellows Falls.
Mr. Dennis Holdenof WestTownshend,
now in bis 88ih year, sends us word that
be thinks there wa4 a paper printed here
as early as 1808, and has an impression
that it was called the " Bellows Falls
Gazette." He is confident some paper
was printed here at that time. Can any
one give us information about it. We
think it doubtful. We have in our of
fice a fi'e of the " Bellows Falls Intelli
gencer," from 1817 to 1820 commenc
ing in January, 1817. The impression
of the older people of this place with
whom we have conversed, is that the
first printing office was started here in
the tall of 1816, and the Intelligencer
alluded to above, was commenced the
January following.
A Pair op Smart Girls. Two
young Poodville girls, residing in Marl
boro, one day recently were offered $11
apiece if they would saw and split a
cord of hard wood slab. They accom
plished the job in four boon and a half.
Tueatricals. The theatrical enter
tainments given by the young people of
I'nmanuel Church on Wednesday and
Thursday evening of last week, were
certainly a very pleasant success, and we
shall look forward to and hope for more
of such entertainments by the young
people of this place. The plays given
last week were "The Spirit of '76
(1876) or the Coming Woman," "Old
Gooseberry," and " Dunducketty's Pic
nic." As many of our readers abroad
will be interested, we give the cast of
characters in the Spirit of '76 as fol
lows: CHARACTERS!

This play is a pleasant take off on
woman's rights. Mr. Carberry went to
China iu 1866, and teturned in 1876,
and at first is greatly bewildered by find
ing railroads, steamboats, insurance com
panies, &c, all run by women, and tries
to suppose it must be sme fault of the
primers; women on the bench, women
are voting and sporting, be is dunned
by a woman for taxes, and finally he i
driven almost to distraction by several
proposals of marriage from as many dif
ferent women, including the revenue col
lector. Poor Mr. Wigfall takes care of
the baby while his wife is attending the
caucus, and he and Carberry lUten to a
speech by Wolverine Griffin, with in
tense anguish. Judge Wigfall appears
in her political robes and is very wise.
Mrs. Badger is the collector but in due
time explaing that she is a widow and
to her other torments to poor Carberry,
she adds a proposal of marriage. Vic
torine Wigt'all is au attractive sporting
girl, not quite so thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of '76 as the others, and for this
reason Carberry rather falls in love with
her, while she very innocently inquires
of him how it used to be in the days
when men fell in love and did the pro
posing. The cast of characters in " Old Goose

The characters were a.l sustained iu a
very creditable manner, and afforded
the audience a couple of hours of very
pleasant rest and amusement. The mu
sic, piano, was by Mrs. J. H. Williams,
Jr., the Misses Williams, Miss Flint and
Mr. Peabody, and included the overture
Don Paequale and selections from Mar
tha. Bridoewater Sad Death. At a
special town meeting held recently it
was voted to re-build the poor bouse re
cently burnt, and a tax of 50 cents on
the dollar was voted for that purpose.
Mrs. Bartlett, wife of Dea. E. K.
Bartleit, wandered from her house again
on Monday night of last week, and al
though search was made fur her she was
not found until Tuesday about noon,
when her lifeless body was discovered in
the river near William Smith's. She
bad been insane for some time and had
wandered away several limes before.
New Hotel. A fine summer hotel
is to be erected the present season on
Sunapee Mt. N.II.by Messrs. Cogs
well & Johnson. It is to be 110 ft. long
by 46 ft. wide, with piazzas and observa
tory aud four stories high. It will com
mand magnificent views of Sunn a pee
lake and Kearsarge Mt. lhe contract
or and builder is Mr. Samuel S. Ordway
of this village. Although the ground
is not yet broken for the foundation the
hotel is to be completed ly July 1st
It seems to us the building must rise like
a balloon to be up by that time, but Mr,
OrJway's well known (kill and experi
ence are a sufficient guarantee in this
respect.
The Sugar Evaporator. Mr. Chase
of West Towushend, who uses one of the
sugar evaporators, recently turned nfl
syrup enough every hour for twenty-five
pounds of sugar.
Convention. The Annual Conven
tion of the Episcopal Church in the Di
ocese of Vermont, will be held at Bratlle-
boro, on Wednesday, June 12ib.
How to Raise Onions. Mr. G. M.
Puffer of Jamaica, sends us what he
thinks is a sure method of raising onions
and which he obtained from western
friends. He sows, (sefd as we under
stand) and when up eaves all that are
thinned out, and lays tlem away where
they will be kept dry and not freeze in
winter. These are set out the next
spring, and will grow to as large size as
those raised from black seed. He tried
this last year with fine success on two
beds, preparing the ground by racking
in a half bushel of hen manure into
each bed, and when up and large enough
to show signs of the maggot, made two
or three applications of cow's urine, and
in less than a week there was not a sign
of a dead top among them, and on these
two small beds he obtained nearly 2
bushels of nice onions.
