An Incident in the Cars.

A correspondent relates the following Incl
dent which he witnessed in the cars: "On
one seat was pale soldier, lean and weak.
returning, as it proved, from service in Ar
kansas, to be nursed by his mother near Pitts
burg, whose only son he was. AT Wellsville
most of the passengers got out for refresh
ments. Some passengers carried food along
and ate it in the cars, but none offered any to
the soldier, who, either too weak to walk or
not having money, sat still, silent and alone.
AS the train was about starting two middle
aged ladies ca NE in, and opening, basket,
began to eat bountiful lunch. From their
conversation they appeared to be from New
England. They we're richly dressed, and
Juosins them to be aristocratic, the writer
was not tavorably impressed with them. At
teI l'tie while, one of them. casting her
eye forward saw the soldier. She stopped
eating, and whispering a moment to her com.
panlon who nodded assent, she went forwar,,
and conversed pleasantly with the soldier
and returned for her basket, from which she
supplied him literally with the best it con-
tanned. After eating all he desired. she
wrapped in paper and gave him enough to
last him home. After eating enough her.
self, she sat down by his side and talked
pleasantly with him most of the way to Pitts
burg. The writer conceived there were few
dry eyes among those who saw what passed.
Was not that woman one of the true aristoc.
racy' Whether the needed food or the kind
manner and conversation of the lady was
most refreshing to the longtime hopeless
parrot or whether both were not equally so,
We will leave the reader to decide"

Legislative Proceedings.

We copy from the Burlington Times, with
out abridging and it may be considered full
report;
"Vermont is becoming great state, meas
ured by her public debt and the amount of
her taxes and the malfeasances of her Of
fcers. Mr. Dodge has just been reelected
sergeant-at-arms, when the special committee
to examine his accounts reported facts show
ing him guilty of dishonesty, because of his
comparative honesty. He was allowed by
his supporters in the House to be not exact
ly honest, but still honester than his prede-
cessors, AMI therefore worthy candidate.
His stationery bill showed he had paid
twenty per cent more than the market price
from which differences are drawn that there
is "niger in the fence" He bought thirty
cords of wood for state house, on which he
charged sixpence commission per cord
The party of whom he bought the wood tes-
titled that he had asked him to bill it to him.
Dodge, for $3.50 or $40 per cord, the con-
tract price being 1925. The contractor re-
fused to do so, not being that kind of man.
Dodge cut the hay in the yard of the state
house, being about four tons, and gave the
state no credit for it, claiming it was worth
no more than the expense of cutting. The
committee thought it worth 81 per ton. BY
references to previous reports, it was found
that the state had paid for cutting the hay,
besides furnishing it
1t also appeared that Dodge in making a
purchase Of furniture, went to J. C. Emery, a
dealer in Montpelier, and gave an order, say
ing that he wished to divide the market, and
when the bill was paid he should expect d.
vision of the profits. The Joint assembly
thought Dodge was pretty honest, and elect
ed him by 46 majority over several other
candidates."

AN APPEAL. FOR TIE SICK SOLpIERS.-Ihe
following articles are much needed by the
Sanitary Commission: WOODEN or cotton
drawers, wooden socks or stockings and wool
shirts are urgently needed. Slippers, blan-
kets, quilts or comforters for single beds
sugar, tea, coffee, chocolate, &c. The SAM
tary Commission are in need of hospital
stores and comforts for the sick and wounded.
The vast numbers of our army and the ina
bility of any Government to provide all the
little comforts of camp and hospital, render it
necessary for our people at honA to supply
the want. We feel sure that a generous,
prompt and satisfactory response will be
given.

Rev. George Il. ManSer. ID. ID.

Died, in Bennington, Nov. 18th, Rev
George B. Manser, d. d., Rector of the St.
Peters Church, (EpiscopaD in the 6Oth year
of his age,-fornerly from St. Jobnsbury.
DR. Maaser was born in New Haven, Ct,
Aug. Sth, 1908. His father died while he
was young, and his mother soon afterward
removed to Vermont He graduated at an
early age at Dartmouth College, and lmme-
dia,elv after began the study OF law at Dan
vile, VT He was married in 1884, and
practced law for time afterward in Will
iston. Vt. During his stay in that place he
was appointed Secretary of Civil and Mill
tary Affairs under Gov Palmer, and this to-
gether with other reasons, induced him to
remove to Montpelier. He held this office
during Gov Paluers administration, and
also under his successor, Gov Jennison.-
His associates in public office and in his pro-
fession during these years, remember DR.
Manser as an upright lawyer, an able and
Trustworthy public officer, and citizen active
in all movements of moral reform, and zeal
Gus for the good of the community where he
lived.
Nearly all to whom this notice will come,
are well acquainted with his history from the
date oc his leaving Montpelier and coming
to Bennington in the spring of 1850. We
know his self denying efforts for the then
feeble church We know how erything else,
ease self interest, prospects OF advancement
by accepting calls to larger and more remu-
nerative parishes, all yielded to his ardent
desire for the good of his people here and
the prosperity of the church; we know his
work of love at the bedside of the sick and
dying, and in comforting those in afflic
ton. For over twelve years he mnistered
to his people here, and was very seldom alb
sent from his pulpit on Sunday, unless when
in attendance a, the General Convention of
the church. During the three years inter-
venng between the last two General Con-
ventions, he was at his place by the altar
every Sunday save one, and then through no
absence or remsneSs of his. For fifteen
years he was a clerical delegate from the Di-
Geese of Vermont to the General Triennial
Convention Of the church in the United
States. In the late convention, from which
he returned home to die, he was one of the
few among the clergy who stood firm and
steadfast againsta conciliating and comprom-
isng majority, for giving the unqualified
censure of the church to this wicked REBEL
Ion and all its abbettors. He was strongly
opposed to tn? introduction Of anything like
political questions into the councils of the
church, but felt that when the fate of his
country hung trembling in the balance, the
time had come for the church to speak,
