| the encouraging circumstances with
which we have been surrounded during

and tried friend B. F, Baker as teacher
| and conductor and Mrs. Little for solo
list, and that we can do no more than to
tender to them as on similar occasions,
our highest appreciation of their ser.

dard and advance the interests of music

than,s Of the association.

eminentlv Il, re, and are hereby rendered,

ment Messrs. j. b. Hilliard, Franklin
Post, and their associates, who have
been so untiring in their efforts In look
ing after and providing for the wants Of
the members of the association.
Resolved, That we are under renewed
obligation to Mr.. Lyon for the continued
practice of his usual generosity in graf
uitously furnishing his piano for the use
of the association.
ResolCed, That we tender TO the mar
ayers of the Rutland e. Burlington and
Vermont Central Railroads, q vote OF
thanks for their usual courtesy OF half
fare extended to the members of the as
ISOLATION.
Resolved, That it is with feelings Of
sadness that we miss from our number
those who have left their homes-their
friends and all that was dear to them IN
the old Green Mountain State, and gone
forth to defend their country against the
assaults Of a gigantic rebellion, 'the
most unnatural, the most cruel and az
the same time the most atrocious that
ever rose to beleaguer any nation, any
age or any people," That our kindest
regards follow them where ever they
are; whether in the camp, on the battle
field or in the patriots grave. And fur.
ther, that our cofidence in the final sue
cess Of the Union cause in this contest
is mistaken. "That we believe God
made America for liberty and planted in
the hearts of the American people those
principles Of freedom that are to bless
the world and mankind, and spread
their benign influence throughout the
universe til all mankind be acknOwl-
edged as,the creatures of one Father, pos
sessed of inalienable rights which oil
men shall respect; and believing tins,
we declare that what God has Joined TO-
gether (the spirit of liberty and fhos "
who love it) no man or combinaSoH' -
men shall part asunder."
The introduction of the resolutions
was followed by few explanatory re-
marks from the chairman of the cop'
mittee, after which, on motion oil N'
