Brandon, Thursday, September a. 1913.
A R s e N G e.

An agreement having been made be-
tween the Elk Com. of the Vermont Anti,
Slavery Society and myself, that | go ou
and make an effort 10 obtain funds to H.
quidate the debts now standing against
the old and new members of said commit
tee, have engaged William G. Brosn
to take the editorial charge of this paper
during my absence. Brother Brown was
few years ago, Editor pro tenn. of the
Telegraph; and those who then read that
paper will ask no recommend from me,
10 induce them 10 read the Voice, while
under his direction. And to those who
have not already become acquainted with
brother B. | will say, read his produc-
TORS and selections and then judge for
yourselves of their merits.
will now say few words to those
who profess to be abolitioEists. l have,
with others, become responsible for debts
incurred in transacting business for the
anti.slavery cause. No doubt errors have
been committed during our operations
But trust all will see, that no one who
is thus holden, could have been actuated
to incur these responsibilities, from selfish
motives. therefore have full confidence,
that when the facts in the case shall have
been clearly stated to the friends of the
cause, although many of them have been
already heavily taxed they will respond
in such way to our appeals, that the
debts will soon be cancelled. l will say
another thing before | leave, which is
this: | will endeavor, wherever shall
60, 10 give all who profess to be abolition
lists, an opportunity Of helping little
and [ may by so doing, Test the depth of
their desire to see the legal debtors re-
lieved. Another thing will remark. I
calculate 10 stick 10 the business of col
Letting, until these claims are satisfied !;
and if some of the folks don't respond TO
the call pretty literally, will stay and
board 1t out, unless I think can do bet
ter! So guess you'll think best to hand
over enough to pay the debts pretty soon,
that you be not haunted, as was the sun
just judge with troublesome Emporium.

CRUELTY.-Spending a night on
board a Steamboat at one of the
wharves in New York city, a short
time since, our ears were saluted
with sounds, the most full of agony,
we ever heard. The lowing and
moaning of cattle kept for slaughter,
in a state of actual starvation, and
faint with the loss of blood which
their inhuman owners had drawn
from them that their flesh might be
the whittier for the market, were such
as made US wakeful." So shrilI
and deathly came the continuous
sound that our soul was sick-If The
world be all thus full of wo, come
the day, our heart exclaimed, when
this bloody earth shall be blotted
from existence.

From the New York Weekly Tribune.
INTER ESTING REMAINS,

The editor of the Warsaw (Mo.)
Woman in his last paper, gives an
account of a visit, in company with
Col. Benton and others, to the place
where a Mr.. Bryant is exhuming the
remains ofvarious animals unknown
to the age, among which are those
of an animal which he styles Mis-
sourium. 1t is near the Pomme de
Terre, and about a mile and a half
from where Mr.. Koch obtained a
skeleton a few days since. These
remains are found embedded in
white quicksand from two to ten feet
under ground. Within the space Of
twenty feet square, numerous bones
and hundreds of teeth of various
shapes and kinds, and evidently be-
longing to different species of ami
mails, have been found, frequently
presenting the appearance Of having
been buried there. But the most re-
markable among them are the bones
of the aforesaid Missourium. "We
saw" says the editor, "and meas
ured thigh bone, which seems per-
feet and in excellent preservation,
which measures three feet ten and a
half inches in length, - 1-2 inches
in diameter at the head, and s inch
es in diameter at its smallest part.
We also saw feet of tusk which
measured 20 inches in circumference
where it was broken Off"
Among the great variety of teeth
was one which weighed 1919 lbs.
Several pieces of rib bones were
found which were about an inch and
Il half thick and three and a half
wide and instead of being curved
fatwise like the ribs Of an OK, were
curved edgewise. The bones in the
best state of preservation yet discov-
cred are the vertebre Of the back.
Six of these were found in a hole
about three feet square, and are per-
fectly sound, the oblique process of
which measures two feet; the cavity
for containing the spinal marrow is
about three inches in diameter.
From the fact of the remains of
so many different animals being
found together, and also charred
wood being found with them, the
opinion seems very naturally to pre-
vail, that they were collected and
buried there by race of beings long
since extinct. At all events it would
seem to be a subject not unworthy
the attention of the naturalist and
geologist. The writer speculates as
follows concerning this wonder:
"Can it be that a race of men ex-
listed in ages long, long buried in the
deepest oblivion who held these an
imals in such awe and veneration
that they took the same pains to col
lect and bury their bones that they
did those of their fathers? Not far
from where these bones are found is
a mound about 200 feet high, with a
grave on its very top. This is called
an Indians grave. This whole
mound may be one vast sepulchre
of a mighty people, built in close
contiguity TO the remains of those an
inals they probably worshipped."

Musical Incidental Coincidence.

Almost enough 10 MAKE u INt1lSftr laugh.
A few sabbaths since, as was informed,
Father Merrill was closing his five o'clock
meeting with the 9Th Select Hymn, while
the twilight, together with his loss of vision
rendered it difficult for him 10 read The hymn
without his specracles. He began however
as folows:-
World, adieu! thou real cheat;
Oft have thy deceitiul charms
Filled my heart with fond conceit,
Foolish hopes and false alarms:
He was here quite troubled TO see, but af-
ter adjusting his magnifcrs proceeded:
NOw | see, as CLEAR AS DAY,
How thy follies pass away.
The coincidence Of these words coming
first af,er his placing his speciaeles before
his eyes, and his reading the fifth line with
more emphasis than the others, started the
wrinkles on the long faces, in way not to
be beaten.
~ 4 Contention # COlored People as,
sembed at Albany on Tuesday, the twenty
first ult. and continued in session until Fri
day evening. All the non-slave lding,
and several Of the slave holding States were
represented by delegates. The object of
this meeting was 10 devise measures for the
elevation of the race. An Address TO the
colorel people was adopted, appealing to
them for immediate and vigorous action in
the great work Of self elevation showing
that all other causes of their debasement,
except that Of color, can be entirely removed,
and urging them 10 quit as far practicable,
all the emploYments which are usually held
as servie, and to enter upon the manly work
of cultivaling the soil and other vacations
which are not associated with ideas of servil-
ity and degradation. W., C. B.
Political Dedication and lroiracted
meeting. The new Town House 10 Bran
don, was, for the first lime occupied on
Tuesday last by holding in i, a Town and
Freeman's Meetng-the last of which con-
tinued until half past eleven o'clock P. M.
Twelve ballolings were had, but no choice
of Representative made. The highest votes
stood as follows-B. Davenport, Dem. 143
L. June, Wing, leo; F. Harrington, who
succeeded June as candidate, 1l2, and
Harvey Hall, Liberty candidate, III.
The State ticket stood as follows: Wings,
1874; Democrats, 1873; Liberty Party, 80.
County Senators, Wings, 126; Demo
Gratis, 1876; Liberty Party, 70.
The Liberty candidate in this town was
Wing, but as near as could learn, was
objected TO because he was put in nomina-
ton as Liberty Party candidate. The
Liberty men would not vote for the other
Wings, because they did not exactly suit,
and SO they ballo,ted twelve times, each
party drawing as true as the needle 10 the
pole, and wound up with draw game. So
much for Brandon. Let US know about the
other towns.
P. S. From the few towns heard from,
the result is as follows ittsiord, Mr.. Kel-
