PERSO


We learn that Edward H. Prenti>s, of
Montpelier, clerk of the L. 5. district court
for Vermont, has resigned, and that William
Henry Hoyt, Of this place, has been appoint
ed as his successor. Mr.. Prentiss was ap-
pointed by his father, Judge Samuel Prentiss,
in 1912
Hon. Jacob Collamer, of Vermont, gives
the address at the state agricultural fair, at
Dover, \. H.. on the 5th, 9th and 9TH Of
October
1t is stated in the \ Y Tribune, that Or.
Bellows viii be unable to leave his charge in
New York. to take the presidency Of Antioch
college, left vacant by the death Of Horace
Mann, and that the choice of the friends Of
that Institution has centred almost unan-
mously on Rev. Thomas Hill, OF Waltham
Mass, who viii, it is supposed, be elect
ed by the Trustees in Sept, and enter imme-
dIately on the duties Of the place. Mr.. Hill
has been settled in Waltham for u years
and has declined several alluring calls to
prominent literary and scientific posts The
article saws OF him.
Theologically, Mr. Hill is Unitarian Christian
Of the Evangelical school, in lively sympathy with
the most devout and believing portion OF that body,
not a Scctarian, hardly AFOREMENTIONED man, as
his recent call to make the address bcl re the So
cety of Christian Inquiry, in the Urt-oG.N Cole
lege of Burlington, sufficiently proves. Wherever
he goes he carries a sound Christian -aitu. and
true Christian spirit and there are no Christians 81
any sect in the land that on acquant4uce would
not bid him God speed IN the pulpit on t.e --i.l-
tfc platform, or Oh he Educational field.
DR.. Bushnell's Church, of Hartford. Con-,
has given an unanimous call to Ray. G.. \.
Weber. of St Johnsbury, to become their
pastor. DR.. Bushnell has removed to Nine
sofa, on account of his health, and recently
received present Of $4,000 from some Of
his former Pensioners.
We observe notices Of the publication, by
Appleton * Co., Of volume entitled IS Tcat
and Harem Notes Of an Oriental Trip, by
Caroline Paine The author is sister of
the late Gov Paine, and accompanied Hon.
Geo P Narsl and his family f. Constant
nople, in 1856.
Death, which but few weeks ago romov-
ed the junior of the Boston publishing house
of Phillips & simpson, has now taken its
head. Moses D. Phillips follows Charles
Sampson to the grave, both dying when their
business was at its greatest height. and their
publishing fame the widest and most envilble.
The Washington Star describes Nj Don
nelly. who enjoys the enviable notoriety Of
having pumped out of Gov Wise that sad and
fatal letter, as "cracked-brlined blathcr-
skite, without influence of any sort, even in
the political circles in which he has been
sprouting tor a dozen years past, without
taking root" Writing letters to public men
is said to be ga disease with him Wise's
political deceass thus makes the peculiar case
of one man dying of another m n disease
1t it is stated that Fred. Douglas goes to
England in September, and Alfred Ten
nyson, the English poet-laureate, comes
here.
