BRETHREN The Rev. s. w. Squire,
Of Franklin, Mass, the late agent for
Dean Academy, is about to come into our
State to canvass for our school, the Green
Mountain Central Institute. He goes out
in the employment, and with the full APP
prevail of the Executive Committee. 1t is
for you to determine whether his mission
shall be success, and our denomination
in this State soon be able to put in opera
ton first class academy. Our enterprise
is a noble one, and is well begun. Shall
we honor ourselves and bless the world by
finishing it speedily? We must have, in
order to put the school in successful oper-
alton, fat least twenty thousand dollars
Of this sum, Mrs. Mary J. Goddard, of
Boston, widow of the late T. A. Goddard.
who gave US five thousand dollars at the
commencement of the enterprise, gener-
ously offers to give us five thousand dol
lars more, on condition that we raise an
equal sum. We ought to secure this
amount within few weeks If every
Universalist in Vermont will give accord
ing to his ability, and aid the agent in his
work, this will be easily and quickly ac-
complished. Let us all take hold of thi.
work in earnest, and have, at least the
five thousand dollars subscribed within a
very short time.

Green Mountain Spring.

On the top of the Green Mountain,
within thirty rods of the summit sta
ton, on the line of the Rutland railroad
is located mineral spring which, from
the numerous testimonials in its favor
and by those cures which it has performed
bids fair 20 prove very formidable rival
TO the other mineral springs in our State.
Those who have had occasion to try the
water from the Green Mountain mineral
spring, have always came again, recon-
mendation for the remedial effects OF the
spring which cannot be controyerted
Teams are now visiting the spring daily,
varying in number from eight to fourteen,
loaded with jugs, bottles and kegs, which
they fill with the water and carry away
The taste of the water, at the spring, Is
very strong of sulphur and iron, as, also
is the smell of sulphur. The proprietorr
of this spring. Messrs. Fem & Company
of our village, are sending off a large
amount of this water, and, as soon a>
spring opens they intend to fit up the
spring and its surroundings for the accom-
mod .tion of visitors We would suggest
the propriety of calling at Fem ~ Comp
anys store, on Center Street and get a
drink of this water. The following testi
monials, are but a few, out of a large
number in possession of the proprietors
and.they have been handed in, in most
cases, without solicitation:
MT. HorlY, VT, Feb. 18th, 1869.
MEssRs. Fem & Col have beer
troubled with acute rheumatism for some
time, and have tried varions remedies for
it, but never found any relief until com
menced using the Green Mountain Min
errl Spring water-I can cheerfully re
commend it to all similarly affected.
Respectfully yours,

rho Lumber Trade of Burlington

lNr. Editor We hand you, herewith,
the statistics of the lumber trade of Bur-
lington for 1868. We ask attention to
this important subject, at the hands OF
your readers and our business men, be.
cause a part of this business can be made
our own, and be greatly increased, as will
also many other branches of business, by
a canal about Is miles long, connecting us
by water, with Lake Champlain. The
lumber business of Burlington is enrich
ing that place. Look at the footing up.
Whole number of feet received IN lSoo,
lie 100000; total business for 1868, up
| wards of SO 100000; increase over 1867,
nearly s1,000,000
| So profitable is this business, the Bur
lington people are wisely looking to Its
| increase It's lumber dealers are among
its best and shrewdest business men. Our
marble business cannot be taken from US,
! though the opening of new quarries IN
/ other towns, will give us sharp compe-
tition. but could we add to it a few mil

AZ the canal would bring us, we would
see n vast improvement IN our material
wealth Every boat that comes with lum-
Der. or other freight, we could load bac];
with slate and marble. Give Rutland q
water carriage for her marble, Fairhaven
and C4stleton the same for their marble
aud slate, and no towns, depending on
railroads for. transporting these heavy
freights, could compete with us. Oul
grain and coal sales would also be In
creased, and every branch of industry
stimulated. Our railroads would do more
than ever; real estate in the vicinity O
the canal basin, and all around it, would
be greatly enhanced in value.
But have not time to argue the ben6
fits that would cusue to Us, and the towns
about Us, 10y getting this ditch. |, at thi

EX. COMMITTEE

FIRE AT WHITEHALL.-We take the
following from the Whitehall Times:
Between three and four o'clock Wed.
nesday morning, our citizens were awak.
ened as the cry of fire fire - sounded
through the streets of our village. The
iremen and citizens generally, responded
promptly to the alarm, when flames were
seen issuing from the rear portion of the
Phoenix Hotel. The origin of the fire
was i'll the kitchen department of the
house. This is the first fire that has been
attended with the loss OF property in our
village during the past year; and thus
tar, during the winter, it Is the first time
rhat our fircmcu have been called out for
luty.
The hotel was brick building. three
and une-half stories high. owned by w. J
Hagadorn, Of Boston, Mass, and occupied
ny w. y. q Arthur formerly of Trcon-
deroga, n y. The pr p rty was insured.
Mr.. Arthur had but small insurance
Ip.n his furniture, only portion of which
Was saved. THE loss j. estimated at from
$1,000 to $1,000.
The sad feature Of the fire is the burn
ing quite seriously, though we hope not
i vigorously, Of two persons. The circum-
stances Is near as We could learn them
are rs follows:
Mrs Oliver Frazier. pastry cook at the
hotel. Is very severely burned. II hap
p.ued thus: Mrs.. Frazier, after the fire
broke out, commenced removing clothing
and other articles of value from the rooms
If the hotel, accompanied by other in
mates of the house. Meeting Thomas
Murphy il the hall, She thought Of Mrs
Arthurs wardrobe on tie floor above.
from which no clothing had been rcmov-
"a. aud SD M. Murphy t, assist her.
They proceeded together. Mrs. Frazier
carrying a large kerosene lamp in her
hand, and az they were in the act of re-
moving the clothing, the lamp exploded
burning both Mrs. Frazier and Mr.. Muir
ply in shocking manner. Mrs. Frazier
orawled down stairs on her hands and
knees, nearly suffocated from the smoke
that had by this time entered all the
apartments of the hotel and was re-
moved 10 the residence Of Nelson Douglas
where she received every attention, and
was attended by DIR. Bennett. Her head.
shoulders. arms and hands are terribly
burned, and it i somewhat doubtful
whether the woman will survive her in
jurics.
Thomas Murphy, bartender at the
Lake House, who was with Mrs Frazier
At the time of the explosion, was severely
burned about the head his hands quit
badly. He was nearly suffocated with
smoke before he was removed. He was
taken to the Lake House he i in intense
pain; he was attended by DR.. Long.

we find that the amendment offered by K

the Rutland County Agricultural Society,
relative to the increase of the number OF

The amendment was that the board OF

WHO INVENTED THE OCEAN TEIE-
GRArH-The Free Press says: The ques-
ton who took Ticonderogl" having been
disposed of, the next in order i, who

graph Prof. Alonzo Jackman, of Nor
wich University. claims that he did, and
supports his claim with an article which
he wrote and printed in the Vermont
Mercury, at Woodstock, Vt, under date
OF Aug. 18th, 1916, from which the follow
ing is an extract:
Were two wires, each one-tenth Of an
inch in diameter, stretched parallel to
each other, and at some distance apart,
from America to Europe, and lying on the
bed of the Atlantic, and were the Europ-
can extremities of these wires joined to-
gether while the American extremities
were attached TO the two poles of gall
vanic battery in action, yet the galvanic
fluid would not take the circuit of the
wires, but it would pass from one to the
other by water communication. in conse-
quence of the conducting property of this
element. The fluid may, however, be
forced to follow the wires by surrounding
them with a coat of India rubber (gutta
percha was not then known say one-tenth
of an inch thick. This is evident, since
this article is non-conduetor of galvanic
fluid, and is also unaffected by water
To secure greater safety to the work,
each wire with its India rubber envelope,
should be encased in a lead tube or pipe,
whose thickness may be two-tenths of an
inch. Such a pipe, according To the fore
going, would be seven-tenths of an inch
in diameter. Apparatus thus protected
would lie secure for ages upon the bed of
the ocean !; this is manifest from the nom
effect Of water on lead.
Prof Jackman then went on to calcu-
late the density of the cable, and also that
of compressed water, and proved that the
cable would reach the bottom of the ocean
without difficulty.
"Now let two steamships, sufficiently
large, each having $50 tons of said pipe
judiciously coiled in the hold, accompany
each other to point half way between
Boston and Liverpool, then let an artist

MINISTER'S FAMILIES Mr.. Edtt0r -
The General Convention of Congrega-
tional ministers and churches, at their
meeting at St Johnsbury, III June last
recommended that a contribution be
taken in the month Of July, 1863, in all
the churches, for the relief Of INDECENT
widows and orphans of deceased minis
ers, and the matter was committed to the
Fairbanks Board for the relief Of minis
tiers, of which, Rev II. F. Leavitt, of
Ferrisburgh, is Chairman, and J. G. Slim
son, Esq, of Norwich, Treasurer.
The treasurer informs Us that ''many of
the churches have not been heard from,
