MONTPELIER, June Is, l6

MONTPELIER, June 10, 1900
The commissioners appointed at the last
Session OF the Vermont Conference Semir AIRY
and Female College, after inviting several
localities where the chool was desired TO be
located, to present their respective induce
ments for such location, and after listening to
the ssme with careful and prsyerlul consider
alton, have decided that said Seminary and
College be located at Montpelier. on the
grounds known as the Hospital Grounds. -,
The commissioners however feel oonetrain-
ed TO say thet the inducements in money,
subscriptions, and local advantages of the
several places were so equally balanced, and
exhibited such generous interest in the con.
templated School that it was exceedingly
difficult to decide upon the relative merits Of
the several localities, but taking into account
the present and the future, the local and the
general advantages, according to their best
judgment, they located the School as above
named at Montpelier, and they now beg
leave to commend the enterprise to the hearty
sympathy and undivided co. operation Of the
Church and the friends of education general
ly.
This is our centenary year. and an unusual
opportunity is now given us to make our
thank offeiings to God for the we'll being
and success Of the Church through which we
have been led to Christ And we feel assur-
ed that the Methodist Episcopal Church Of
Vermont will honor itself, in placing on a
sure and satisfactory basis, this institution,
which is designed to give our children high
toned and liberal education We bespeak
generous endowment.
In behalf OF Commissioners,
A. l.. COOPER, Chairman.

The late Moses T. Odell, Navy officer for the
port Of New York, was for three terms member
of Congress for the Brooklyn district. He was
Democrat, but his democracy was of the genuine
type-not particle of copper in it. He was
moreover, one of the purest men in Congress,
jealous of good works, and an active and con-
sistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
He spoke oitener in Sabbath Schools and religious
assemblies than in Congress, rarely and perhaps
never speaking in Congress but for some practical
purpose. good, true, honorable, patriotic man
and Christian. 1t is worthy Of remark that his
predecessor and successor in Congress, Hon. Jas.

Tenth--1he conclusion ofyour committee.
therefore, is that the 60 called confedefat,
states are not At present entitled TO represen
tation in the Congtess Of the United States ;
that before allowing such representation. ad
equate security for future peace and safety
should be required that this can only be
found in such change Of the organic law a.
shall determine the civil rights and privileges
Of all citizens in all parts of the republic,
shall place representation on an equitable ba-
sis, shall fix n stigma upon treason and pro-
tect loyal people against further claims for
the expenses incurred in support Of the rebel
lion and for msnumitted slaves, together
with an express grant in Congress to enforce
these provisions TO this end they offer a
joint resolution for amending the constitution
and the two several bills designed to carry
'the'same into effect before referred to.
Before closing this report your committee
beg leave to state that the specific recommen-
dations submitted by them are the result Of
mutual concession. after long and careful
comparison Of conflicting opinions. Upon a
question Of such magnitude, infinitely impor-
tant as il IL to the future of the republic, it
was not to be expected that all would think
alike. Sensible Of the imperfections of the
scheme, your committee submit it TO Congress
as the best they could agree upon, in the
hopes that its imperfections may be cured,
and it's deficiencies supplied by legislative
wisdom, aud that, when finally adopted, it
may tend to restore peace and harmony to
the whole country and to place our fepubli-
can institutions on more stable foundation,

IMPROVEMENTS IN DENTISTRY. - DR.. j.
M. Comegys, the wide-awake and enter
prising Dentist Of Montpelier, has recently
introduced several Improvements in dentistry,
an important one being in rubber work.
Hitherto rubber plates for artificial teeth have
been of an Objectionable color. the deep red
making them too conspicuous when in the
le'st exposed to sight. This objection Dr.
Comegys has overcome, having in use dis
eovery whereby the rubber is given flesh
color, the difference between that and the
natural gums being difficult to discover, while
at the same time strength is added by the
process of coloring. Another improvement
Is the discarding OF air chambers in the plates,
which are sure to eventually cause maliorma-
ton OF the roof Of the mouth, and the attain
ment OF the object of air chambers through
far preferable method. Persons desiring
dental aid will find DR.. Comegys the right
man to patToniEe. his work being No. l, and
his prices very reasonable, Argus. 92l
