title, recently established in Bennington, VT under
the editorial charge of VIM Lloyd Garrison, late ed-
tor of the Boston Phanthropist, bids fair to
be powerful auxiliary to the cause of political hon
esty, morality, and virtue, that state. The mechan-
zeal execution of the paper is uncOmmonly and
imposing; every way worthy to bear forth to the pub
lie the ucubratIonS and various headwOrk of its abe
and industrious editor. But Br. Garrison, there is
contemplate thing" in your neighbouThood, the bare
mention OF which is disgrace to any decent print;
and to notice it by name is to perform towards the
most substantial Kindness. Naturaliss assure us tina

| FOR THE COUNTY POST.
! Written on the assembling Of the members of the
Female Academy, in Ltchfeld, at the closing exhibi-
ton for the season. the evening Of October 9th,
1928.
Amid the interesting, youthful band,
| Assembled to receive the need of praise,
| Or gifts, tIom>honour's hand long sought
What varied feelings must prevail. Some few,
With careless, happy uncopcern, attend,
And care not much for aught that fame can give,
Enjoying well the passing scene, as change
From study, and the harbinger ofjoys
And freedoms reign, for days and weeks to come.
Others with deep solicitude desire
hiding name, nor strive scan the motives,
1.-THE reward be gained. And some no doubt,
| Many, we hope, meekly, yet gladly, gain
The same rewards as proofs Of knowledge won
! For it's own sake-whle others mid the scene
So bright, with youth, and beauty, turn the eye
| Of fond affection, and expectant joy,
To home, and its endea ments, and forget
The school girls honours, for the daughters hopes
| Ofparents smiles, and sisters welcome voice.
But though these varied motives ofthe heart
! May all find place among the youthful group,
! Yet can there attend the scene Of life,
Without the thoughts ofdeath7 Will they not hear
The voice OF friendship from the early grave
! Of FRAEcEs-n her own words ofwarnng, b.
| That they must seek the Saviour in their youth II
That voice,wbich three short weeks ago, wagfaissd,
J Ev'n with its whispering, dying breath, HSsA
In prayer for them. Oh there are hearts, true
! To remembrance, that will meier forget
That humble suppIiant for Mercy's
Gifts Of pardning love. To parents hearts,
! That mourn the lovely and BELOVED, now gone
Beyond the reach of earthly cares and hopes,
! Fond memory will bring, while life shall last,
! Her image-now clad, as faith believes,
In robes ofglory in the realms of peace.
! Fraterna love will still retain its hold
| Upon departed virtue; and many hearts
Will cherish the bright vision Of her life,
| And the calm hopes of her SO early death,
On memory's page, while its existence
! Lasts. And may none fail to learn the iess"n,-
Fraught with deep, and solemn, and important
Truth-her early exit gives--They must die
[ Soon---how soon, God only knows.
| We ought mention the Concert given last Friday
evening by Miss Dillingham;; and in doing, we
cheerfu!ly say that this young lady, for power,
sweetness compass and fexibiuy of voice, stands
lone of all singers heard perform. Her style
is probably classical and correct, according to the
rules of the most approved fashionable modern sing
ers; yet not being such have been accustomed
