belng on the editorial staff \u2018of the New York Tribune and the Boston Herald for many years.She was well known abroad, and her intimate friends were the Brownings, Matthew Arnold, Edmund Gosse, Kingsley and George Elliott.Her first volume of stories were published when she was sixteen, and were very creditable work.She was born at Pomfret, Conn., but spent nearly all of her life in Boston.TOWN TOPICS.Mr.1.8.Melloon of East Hatley was in town Monday on business.Miss Autonia Vincent of Sherbrooke is the guest of Mrs.John Gilmore, of Caswell Avenue.The National base ball team are to play the West Derbys at the local Athletic field to-morrow.Mre.George N.Dale of St.Peters- : burg, Florida, is the guest of Mr.and Mrs.Charles Carpenter.Mrs.W.F.Morey of Brownington is the guest of her daughter, Mrs.A.A.Lamorey, on Caswell Avenue.Mr.C.H.Phenix of Bradford, Ill, was in town Sunday, accompanied by his niece, Miss Boneta Plummer.Mr.Ernest Pepin of Stanstead.who bought the Joseph Malouin farm, near Way's Mills, in June, is now moving on to the same.Mr.Lee Hopkins, who was injured at Stanstead Station several weeks ago, is now able to be out driving.He has had a serious time of it.Mies H.Bernice Sweeney is at home trom New York for a month's rest, | Of clean racing should not fail to at- | and of course is the guest of her mother, Mra.M.C.Sweeney.Several of our young people joined a party of young people at Derby, Monday, and went to Willoughby Lake for the day.It was a picnic and of course a good time.We notice that Rev.G.Ellery Reed, formerly pastor of the local Congregational Church, has recently returned from a three months\u2019 rest abroad and a visit to his old bome in England.Mr.Fred Girard was the guest of bis'brother Oliver in Fitchburg, Mass., last week, and also made a flying visit to the \u201cHub.\u201d He was astonished at the number of idle working men in Boston.Col.W.W.Sprague of St.Johns- bury was in town Friday and Saturday.The Col.is finding several who GOING TO HAVE WHOLE No.3261.AN AUTONOBILE ?There's ninet;

his message was free from indirectness and the lesson was pot hidden under a bushel of rhetoric.He made it very clear that the harvest in all things depended upon the seed, the condition of the ground, sowing and nurture.What was, determines the now and hereafter.There was an entire absence of \u2018fuss and feathers\u201d in the whole service, but one could but come away with something to think of and make 8 sane application of it to the person- allife.It was a very wise appeal to manliness and womanliness of the very best sort.It was wholesome, of deep interest and the speaker awakened the common sense, making the listener feel that such a view of life's work was worth while.Evidently this man is conscious of the meaning of that which he hath.His work in eur community will be one of uplift, for he shows most excellent equipment and he rings true, and if we stand by him he will do a great and lasting work for our college, Mr.and Mrs.F.H.Rider, Mr.and «Mra.J.J.Hutchinson,

apple and pear trees of bearing age in the United States.He estimates that in Vermont there are 1,075,131 apple trees and 28,357 pear trees.The \u201cNew Vermont\u201d idea has probably not penetrated as far as Massa- chugetts, and the lieutenant-governor felt it incumbent upon him to give a demonstration.Or was it a scheme to advertise Vermont, which is one of Mr.Prouty\u2019s pe* hobbies?In this twentieth century to read that the dagger thrust at the Sultan was ineffective because of the coat of mail worn by him under his garments, suggests the romance of the Middle Ages.But Turkey is still living back in the spirit of the Middle Ages and coats of mail for the Sublime Porte in 1808 are not anachronisms.The trustees of the Kurn Hattin Homes at Westminster announce that the needed sum of £20,000, for the erection of a building to replace the one destroyed by fire, is virtually raised.A little over $17,000 has been paid in and pledges for the remainder of the sum are in the hancs of the treasurer, E.L.Walker, of Bellows Falla.More than 3,000 strangers have visited the Bennington battle monument thus far this season, but it is not expected that the total number of visitors this year will be as large as that of last year.The monument register shows that the greatest number of visitors were from Massachusetts and New York, though a dozen other status are represented.According to the semi-annual report of assistant adjutant and quartermas- ter-general Carlos D: Williams of Burlington, of the department of Vermont, G.A.R., there have been sixty- eight deaths in the department during that period.The present membership in the ninety-one posts in the departments is 2,707.There has been an increase of fifty-three members and a total decrease of one bundred and

log he lost his balance and fell in the swift waters below.His companions attempted to rescue him, but without success.His body was recovered soon after and will be sent to his home in Quebec.He was to leave the drive at Bellows Falls ina day or two to return home to be married.A letter was found on his body from his mother, in which she was expecting him home this week.The town of Stowe clings

we ever have any summer visitors or not.\u201d And we can have both, if we will.The recent announcement of a gift of $100,000 to Norwich University and of 830,000 to Middlebury College is most gratifying news to the friends of these honored institutions.They are doing a great work for Vermont along educational lines, and we trust that such manifestations of confidence and esteem, as are the gifts referred to, may continue, The position of Doctor Grout, as supervisor of the insane at Waterbury, is not in any degree an enviable \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Governor Prouty for overspeeding Death of Veteran Railroad Engineer, Bquire J.Wileon, of Lyndonville, aged 87 years, one of the oldest railroad engineers in the country whose record of drawing the

which time be had been employed in the Lyadonville shops of the company.He was a member of the state legislature in 1894-95.Mr.Wilson was born in Deering, N.H., July 18, 1831, and practically his whole lite was given to railroad work.The span of his service included almost the entire history of railroading in Vermont as he began March 15, 1849, as a freight brakeman on the Vermont Central, which bad been opened from White River Junction to Northfield the previous year.Mr.Wilson served the Passumipsic and the Boston & Maine roads under twelve master mechanics, traveled about 1,665,160

widely remembered.Written in exquisite characters, it decorates half the old cups, plates and fans of his period.Thus it runs: \u201cPlace upon & gentle fire the tripod whose color and form tell of a far antiquity and fill ft with water of molten snow, Let it seethe tin ft would be hot enough to whiten fish or to redden a crab.Then pour it into a cup upon the tender leaves of a selected tea tree.Let it rest till the mists which freely rise have formed themselves into thicker clouds and .until these have gradually ceased to weigh upon the surface and at last float away in vapor, then deliberately sip the delicious liquor.It will drive away all the causes of disquietude that .come to trouble us.You may taste and you may feel, but never can you express in words or song that sweet

honor of Brahma and Vishnu, the gods of water and fire.Preparations for the ceremony bad been going on for a month, says The London Globe.A trench 23 feet long and 19 feet deep was dug, and in it a fire was kindled.At sunrise 40 fanatics, who were to demonstrate their asbestos nature, slowly march- ol around the furnace bearing the curious idols.The Solvrastas were clothed in yellow tunics, and without hesitation entered the fire trench singing a hymn, the rofrain of which was \u201cGovinda!
