the Association to the Mayor in the fol-

ADDRESS OF MIR. wUEATLAND.
Mr. Mayor: Allow me to introduce to
you the President and members of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science. This Association dates
its origin to 1910, when on the second day
of April of that year, some eighteen gen.
tlemen, principally connected with the
several State Geological Surveys then in
progress, met in the hall of the Franklin
Institute, Philadelphia. at the request of
the members of the New York Survey,
and organized an association under the
name of THE Association Of American
Biologists" At the meeting in Boston in
1912, it was decided to enlarge the objects
80 as to embrace the collateral branches OF
natural science, and the name was changed
so as to read 1.-THE Association Of Ameri-
can Biologists and Naturalists." At the
meeting in 1047, the objects were still
further enlarged 30 Is to include all de-

desired TO heal, and it was received with
the greatest applause. He then exhorted
the land owners TO be liberal in the mat
ter of land damages, and showed them
how their interests would be promoted
by 30 doing. He said the road must be
built upon principles of the most rigid
economy, and believed that from the hour
Of it's completion it must pay, as the bust
ness was already created and anxiously
waiting for it. He congratulated the
people of Lamoille county upon their sue
cess in this great enterprise; and believed
that this day would be one of the proud
est days in their history. He concluded
his remarks amid hearty applause.
The Free Press Hydepark correspon-
dent further says:
The work is now commenced in earnest.
Mr.. Sigourney, the engineer who is now
employed to make the final survey from
Walden to Cambridge, will commence his
work at once.

THE LYMANs.-Henry Ward Beecher

NV fathers mother was Lyman from
Middlefeld, Conn. From her he re-
ceived the name of Lyman Beecher.
From the same blood he received GER
tain hopeful, buoyant temper, which
helped him to overcome slight
hypochondriac faint which he received
from his father ! have been suspected,
myself. of having reported to belong to
the real Lyman stock. / should come to
your meeting if it was in my power, and
help you celebrate the virtues Of com
mon ancestry. But cannot get leave Of
my engagements.
The blood Is prolific If all the Lymans
should come to Mount Tom the mountain
could not hold them. Nay they still in

when and how 10 buy, and the time and
place to sell. go into some store-no mat
ter how low place is assigned to you.
1t will make you better man to spend a
few months Of your time as porter or un-
der clerk, for when you are at the head Of
a mercantile establishment you will know
how to sympathise with and treat those
who hold position below you. 1t makes
a man self-reliant to begin at the bottom
of the ladder and work up. Many are
made giddy by being started too high up.
Failures are more frequent with such than
with those that commence low and work
up.
But If you have taste for neither me-
chanical or mercantile pursuits, go to
farming-and as you have but moderate
means, go where land is cheap Go into
western Missouri where you can buy as
good land as is anywhere found in the
West, at from two to ten dollars per acre.
If you have but one hundred dollars you
had better expend that for twenty acres
of land in a new country, than to pay it
out for twenty days board in the gold re-
gion, The real estate will be worth more
to you than your dearly bought expert
ence in the gold region.
We close our suggestions with the
words of poet, in which will be found
the true field for every man to occupy:
Do not, then, stand Idly waiting
For some gyeater work to do
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you;
Go and toll In any vineyard,
Do not fear to do and dave:
II you want field of labor,
You can fiud it ANYWHERE.

ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT. "A cor
respondent in Tinmouth asks us to give
the route to the gold region and the ex-
pense of getting there, and also asks the
following question Would you advise
a young man that is obliged to depend up
on his own labor to go there 7"
There are many places that are styled
+" gold regions" We do not know TO
which the young man refers, and there
fore can neither give him the route nor
cost of trip. In reply to his last inter
rogatory, we would say that in looking at
the successful business men Of this coun
try, we find that very large proportion
of them wero Of class that, in their
youth were obliged to depend upon their
own labor" OF the number that 10 TO
get fortune by digging for gold, the per-
centago of lucky ones is very small. Pro-
badly not more than one or two in q hum
dred are as successful in gold hunting az
they would have been in other pursuits.
Mining is hard work and the results very
uncertain. Unless you have money
enough to go to the gold region and have
some left TO engage in other business or
get home with, we would advise you not
to go there; for prices are always high in
gold mining districts, and penniless men
are not wanted there. Not one instance
in q hundred does the man go to Colorado
or Idaho without money, and make his
pile. We hear from those who get the
largo nuggets, but not from those who go
there and do not scuceed they do not care
to have their bad luck known.
If you have taste for mechanics 20 to q
machine shop, if but to scrape castings At
6rst. If you have talent it will come ont,
and you viii reach the place you deserve.
II you have tact for trade, and pos
sess good judgment enough to dictate

a pail of boiling hot water, scalding it in
such manner as to cause it's death in a
few hours. The occurrence took place at

4 SABBATH SCHOOL PICNIC-A very
interesting Sabbath School picnic took
place at Mddletown on "wednesday last.
The Sabbath Schools If the Congregation
al and Baptist churches in Porltaey, with
the several schools in Middletown united,
and in fact the people of all the towns
around seemed to be together. The cx-
ercises were in the beautiful grove about
forty rods east of the Healing Springs
The Joncsvillc band were present IL dis
course the music, aud all the exercises
were interesting. The friends OF the Rev
Thomas Tobiu improved the occasion 10
present him gold watch. An able adj
dress was given to "a large asscmblage in
the grove by the Rev Mr. Mills Of Rut-
land After the exercises in the grove
were completed, the band went to the
springs and commenced playing. A large
concourse of people were soon collected,
and Mr. Mills and others were called out
for addresses.
1t was among the largest gatherings
Middletown has had for many years, but
any public meeting called at that place
now brings together larger number
than formerly. Almost every team was
supplied with one or more jugs to get
water from the springs for themselves and

The Last FoIIv.

1t does seem impossible to say where the
love of dress of the women is taking them

agance and the latest mode is a costume
with three skirts. The first trains behind
for home wear, and is gathered up for
walking it is decorated with series of
narrow founces, trimmed or not trimmed,
as you like the second jupe reaches to
the knee, furbelowed like the first, and
gathered up here and there by bows; the
third, which falls but little below the waist
gives 10 the costume the appearance OF a
skirt with basquine, and is intended to be
worn for street attire without the addition
of any wrapping. AS U'any yards of ma
terial as can be gathered and puckered and

better for the fashion and for the maptua-
maker" How much will SUCH set Of
