death of two such men, should have

occurred within twenty-tOur hours OF
each other, is singular and striking
coincidence of providence. But twice
before in the history OF the town
have two collins been carried to the
church for funeral SERVES at the same
hour. The occasion was one of pc
culiar impressiveness and solemnity,
the pastor preached a discourse from
I'd Tim. 4, 7 and s, and the services
taking the place of the appointed fast
day services, Friday the 10th inst.
Rev. J. Torrey, of Hardwick, was
present and assisted in the services.
FRUIT TREEs.-Attention is called
to the advertisement of b. Bryant,
who keeps the famous nursery at
Derby. His trees have thus far
proved to be the only trees worth
having. They are sure to live where
anything like decent care is taken OF
them. They produce large, nice and
delicious fruit, and it is a fact worthy
of notice that whoever buys his trees
always speak well of them, and it is
a fact equally worthy of remark that
whoever buys the New York abor-
tons always feels like cursing them
if he does not speak the wicked word.
We have never heard an instance
where the New York trees proved
satisfactory to the buyer. Where ono
has lived two years at least Zen
have died. We think public
will say amen to this. There are
plenty of both kinds in this town and
in this village. Let those who are
in doubt which to buy please examine
them, and all doubt will vanish.
SUPERPHOsPHATEs. - The war be-
tween the manurists seems to be very
animated. Do not fail to read the
controversy. 1t strikes us that Brad
ley is little ahead.
The following resolutions on the
death of Miss Francelia F. Aver, of
Glover, who died at St. Johnsbury
March 80, 1868, were adopted by
Rising Star Lodga, No. %, |. O. G. T:
Resolved, l. That in the recent solemn event
which has so suddenly taken from our number
| a loved and cherished sister, who by her warn
and generous sympathy, her genial and amiablt
disposition and her ardent love of truth and
justice had become endeared to large circle OF
| friends we recognize the dealing of an All-Wise
Ruler, and while we mourn will not repine, but
rather emulate her virtues, and strive to advance
the cause of temperance to which she wa,
strOngy attached.
/ 2. That, with the relatives who by this Attic
tive stroke of Providence have been bereft of
daughter, sister, friend, we heartily sympathize
| 8. That a copy of these resolutions be placed
on file, copy be sent to the parents OF the de
ceased and a copy be forwarded to the Editor o
the Orleans Independent Standard for publca
ton.
LECTUREs.-The two lectures de
| livered in this place by Geo. P. Hayes
Esq, of Windsor, on Monday anC
Tuesday evening, proved quite as in
tereScing as any of the course. Th,
speakers subject was Vermont il
History" 10 the treatment of which
he drew very interesting outline
sketch of the history of our Stat,
down to the termination of the Revo
lutionary War, prefacing it by brief
allusion to the discoveries of the illus
trious French ->~-;ss~+~--. g. -
Cartier, who was the first white maj
to behold the Green Mountains, whic
he did from Montreal on his voyag
up the ST. Lawrence in 1885, while i
pursuit of the long sought for Mort
West passage and who was so strucI
with the view that he declared that
seemed to be an = enchanted land.
The speaker in passing touched brie
" upon such events of the Frenc
and Indian war as were connecte
with Vermont; also upon the contrC
versy with N.York and her action dul
ing the Revolutionary struggle, part
, cularly her negotiation with Canad;
or what is known as the "Haldima
& Allen" correspondence. Upon thi
. last point Mr.. Hayes dwelt somewha
at length, and from different parts o
that correspondence it became appal
/ ent that at that. time the leading me
4 of our State were resolved, whateve
might be the result of the war, rattle
than 90 back under the jurisdiction o
New York they would become Co
. ony under Great Britain. Althoug
d this view has never been preached b
any writer or speaker on Vernon
history it is nevertheless apparer
that such was the case, and we respe,
Mr.. Hayes for having courage t
avow what is apparent from tt
/ record; although in doing so he leave
e the beaten track, trod by those WI
f, have nothing but the fulsome prai;
# of blind hero worship for the ear
men of our State.
As whole the lectures were e
: pertaining and instructive, and WEI
f well received. We hope Mr.. Hay,
l. will be called to deliver these lectur
q in other towns in the State. The
% contain many things Vermonte
ought to know.
