Concord has always been noted az a
musical place, and as early as June 18th,
1893 ''The Concord, N. H., Musical Sc
ciety" was incorporated. In 1901, Dea-
con Joseph Hall, "from desire to en-
courage and promote the practice OF
Sacred Music in Concord made do
nation to this society of $500 in the L.
S. six per cent. stock. The original
sum was to be kept entire, and the in
terest accruing to be appropriated to the
benefit of said society in such manner
as the majority shall direct" The do
nation has materially aided the cause of
music i'll Concord, and the old society
did much good service.
The music in all the churches is good
but the Congregational society bear the
palm. For small city there are an un-
usual number of amateurs that are skill
led and brilliant musicians, and well
conducted and agreeable concerts are of
frequent occurrence.
The Geographic news of the decision
of the Committee to impeach the Pre-
sident, which reached us last Saturday
afternoon gave the streets quite the as
pect that was so familiar during the
war. The crowd about the Telegraph
Office, and the gatherings of anxious
gentlemen upon every street corner,
looked precisely as they did six years
ogo. A photograph of the one excite
ment might serve as well for the other.

The Language of the Tenure OF
Office Bill.

In order that our readers may see how
openly I" Andy" has violated the law,
we publish the following from the Act
of Congress" regulating the tenure of
certain civil officers" passed March 2,
1867.
Sec. The Secretary of State, of the
Treasury, of War, of the Navy, and of
the interior, the Postmaster-General,
and the Attorney-G General, shall hold
their offices respectively for and during
the term of the President by whom they
may have been appointed and for one
month thereafter, subject to removal by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate. r
Sec. 2. When civil officers, except
ing judges Of the United States courts,
shall during a recess of the Senate, be
shown, by evidence satisfactory to the
President, to be guilty of misconduct in
office, or crime, or for any reason shall
become incapable or legally disqualified
to perform its duties, in such case the
President may suspend such officer and
designate some suitable person to per-
form temporarily the duties of such
Office until the next meeting of the
Senate, and until the case shall be acted
upon by the Senate. Such persons shall

who saws that it is certain that desc
lation like that which has overwhelmed
many once beautiful and fertile regions
of Europe, awaits an important part OF
the territory of the United States, unless
prompt measures are taken to check the
action of the destructive causes already
in operation. 1t is in vain to expect
that legislation can do anything effectu-
al to arrest the progress of the evil, ex-
cept so far as the State is the proprietor
ofextensive forests. The only legal pro-
visions from which anything can be
hoped are such as shall make it matter
of private advantage to the landholder
TO spare the trees upon his ground, and
promote the growth of the young wood.
Something may be done by exempting
standing forests from taxation, and by
imposing taxes on wood felled for fuel
or timber; something by premiums or
honorary distinctions forjudicious man
agement of the woods. 1t would be diff
cult to induce governments, general or
local, to make the necessary apprOpria-
tions for such purposes. But there can
be no doubt that it would be sound econ
omy in the end.
The writer proves that the Geography
of our country demands large forests,
and that wood pays more than one-half
of the entire Internal Revenue of the
United States; but our space will not
permit Us to dwell longer on this sub
ject. The quotations we have given are
quite sufficient, we think, to convince
our readers that it is one of vast import
ance; and it is to be hoped that the
warning words of Mr.. Starr have not
been written in vain.

The New York pendent Of the
Boston Journal says, Feb. 18TH
The leading men connected with the
Diocese Of Vermont are here in cOmnec-
ton with that vacant See. Several
names are mentioned in connection with
that office, most of whom are under adj
visement. DR.. Frank NintOn has some
friends, but he viii not be pressed for
the office. Bishop Randall of Colorado
Is pressed most earnestly. He is not
happy in his field, and would prefer the
retirement and quiet Of New England
diocese. His friends say that he would
have accepted gladly the Bishopric of
Maine ifhe could have had it. Mr. Hoff-
man, Rector of Grace Church, BROOKLYN,
has many friends. He has been warm
ly recommended. DIR. Balch, formerly
Secretary to the House of Bishops, is
also named. But the favOrite candidate
with the Churchmen of Vermont is Mr..
Parker, the Rector of the Episcopal
Church in Amherst. He is the grand
son of Bishop Parker, whose name and
fame are so devoutly cherished by East
ern Episcopalians. The various candi-
dates are pressed with all the earnest
ness of men who are candidates for po-
litecal preferment. Petitions are signed,
letters written and every means taken to
secure their election. Vermont is a very
small diocese, nevertheless, it Is re-
garded as a position of high honor and
usefulness

was completely broken up-much more
so than by the powder blasts. The ex-
