With your red wooden caps and your moccaains

At gathering summons of trumpet and drum
Come down with your rifles, let the gray wolf

But the tribute we pay shall be HALrERs and graves

We owe no allegiance, we bow to no throne,

And can handle the sword or the BEETLE or pen,
Our wives are all here. and our own daughters

at that time but 90 families in the town.

During the summer of 1906 he came to

Religious Tracts for our Soldiers.

Mr. EDITOR Il have received Letter

urged to aid their funds by making col

that this important object may attract the
attention of some good brothers or some
good sisters, who feel for the souls as we'll

country's liberty, honor, and property, and
will take subscription paper and collect
what they can, and remit the same to me
at Morrisville, or to Rev. j. w. Alvord,

that this notice may attract the attention
of some of our warm hearted and benevo-
lent friends of their insulted Country and
induce them to help the Society, "who are
putting books or tracts into all their shirt
pockets speaking of our soldiers--publi-
cations that will cheer their feeling and
interest their minds in their leisure mo-

on beds of pain, suffering and death, in
their Country's cause Will it not soothe
their anguish ? Will it not inspire them

The Spirit OF 10.

At the present crisis of things when
war and bloodshed is the cry in our cars,
we call to mind those old veterans of our
early times, and take their thoughts and
sentiments as guide, whereby we may be
governed and guided to win for ourselves
a glorious victory, In the old burying-
ground, i'll the west part of Cambridge, is
tombstone, on which is inscribed verse,
the sentiment of which will be endorsed by
every true and patriotic Union loving man
in this great issue of Freedom or Slave
ry." We give the whole inscription as it
is on the stone, to show that the same
spirit that was manifested at that time
will apply just as well at this time.
In memory of David Stafford, ESQ,
who died Aug, 10. 1881, in the 50 year
year of his age"
The following is the verse:
Columbian youths arm arm and out
Where Freedoms standard waves,
Your Fathers voice cries from the ground:
My sons scorn to be slaves.

VERMONT REGIMENT.-The Vermont
Regiment, according to the direction of
the War Department, should have been
mustered at Burlington, instead of Rut-
land but for some reason best known to
those in authority, the instructions of the
Secretary of War were disregarded, and
considerable delay has been the result,
costing the State some $4,000 per day of
needless expense. The Burlington Times,
however, says the place of rendezvous has
been changed to Rutland. and that the
Regiment would doubtless be off speedily.

Mr.. EDITOR, Dear SIR In our usually
quiet town of Cambridge, We have had of
late plenty of excitement. High water
and war news are alike abundant. Within
the last three weeks our intervals have
been thrice submerged in water to the
destruction Of fences and soil. The heavy
rains of last night bid fair to raise the
water as high as it was last week, and also
the week before; but the sudden cold
which rules the weather to-day. has caused
the water TO abate. The annual thawing
out of the upper towns Of the County, with
the least quantity Of snow that accumu-
lates during each winter, causes yearly
loss of hundreds, and perhaps, thousands
Of dollars TO the farmers on the intervals
