To the memory of Michael Tigue. member OF
the sarsfield Band, West Rutland, VI, who died
on Tuesday, Feb. Sth, 1870.
At a regular meeting Of the Band, held on the
evening of Wednesday, Feb. sth, 1870, the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were adopted:
Whereas it has pleased Almighty God TO re-
move from amongst us our beloved and worthy
young member, Michael Tigue, and whereas, he
has been 50 suddenly and appalhngly cut on In
his young strength and usefulness, honored, ioyeo
and respected by all VINO knew MIN, therefore
be it
Resozred, That we, the members Of an organ
ization OF which he was jealous member, are
deeply impressed with the awfully sudden and
sad event, that we keenly realize the loss We
have sustained in his death, and deeply SYM
pathize with his bereaved parents and friends.
Resolued, That we tender to the afflicted family
our sincere coincidence and sympathy in their
great loss, dwelling not upon the transient sor-
rows of this life but looking beyong to brighter
home wherein nor pain, nor SORROW, nor death
ResoIged, That these resolutions be published
in the Rutland HERALD, Courier, etc.
PETEa f Burns. Com. on Resolutions.
j. E. LEONARD, Secretary.
He is dead, though last eve he was with US in
beauty,
He has gone from our circle, all ended his duty,
To meet his reward in the heavenly land.
Borne from our midst in the first flush of being,
Mangled and torn, now his loved form lies still,
While the wall of the stricken ones round his
bed kneeling,
On the ear of the list'ner falls sadly and chill.
All knew him to love him, his name was
blessing,
His acts the effulgence of virtue and truth.
He has gone every grace of the Savior possess
ing;
He remembered his God in the days of his youth.
he joined in our pastime and innocent pleasure,
He joyed in the station that metit may claim.
He wore the crown flial, a worth beyond
measure;
He won that boon priceless, virtuous name.
Weep not, bereaved parents, hopes earthly
must perish.
No matter how blissful our visions may be,
Tomorrow they fade how vain then to cherish
Sad thoughts of the lost we may hope soon to see.
Let memories bright of one pure, young life
ended,
Whose footsteps you've guided through every
snare
Be your recompense here It'll In spirit you've
blended
The love which the angels in Paradise share.

POLITICALLY Washington special
says there seems to be just as much oppe-
sition to the confirmation of Bradley as
there was to Judge Hoar. All of the
fifteen Southern Senators and most OF
those from New England will vote against
him.
Mr.. Dawes has been invited to ad-

The New York Legislature, which.
cording to Gov. Hoffman, was to set
such brilliant example of hon esty, is go
ing the old way. A Democratic organ,
the New York Democrat, after referring
to the obliquities of former Legislatures,
says:
"This year similar gambling has been
instituted. One man asserted that the
committee on engrossed bills of the
House are holding the bills which had
been ordered to be engrossed for third
reading, and insisted that they would not
report them till they had received due
consideration. Another committee, which
has reported several bills, has never had
a meeting. Other committees are assailed
in different ways"

PROCTORsVILLE.-P Sheridan four
years old son of Mr. Joseph Locke, one day
last week was missing from his home.
For hours the little fellow was sought for
in vain. The neighbors were alarmed,
and his father, who was at work IN Lud-
low, was sent for. The chi!d's footprints
were traced, on the trifle of snow on the
ice, across the factory canal Up and
down the margin of the treacherous
watery way, through the factory, in the
outhouses and in all possible places was
the search made, until at last, in looking
down from an upper room in the wool
house, Mr.. John Campbell, an operative in
Balson's factory, discovered some infant
hands and arms raised above a child's
head wedged in between the wool sacks,
ten or fifteen feet below. Fastening down
to the spot, little phil" was discovered
fast asleep, in an upright position, with
no power to move one way or the other,
being compressed in among the huge wool
sa,ks, whittier he had fallen from above,
hours before, and had evidently cried
himself to sleep. Mr.. Campbell was thus
the happy instrument of restoring the
little wanderer to the arms of his anxious
and half distracted parents.

pastor OF the Universalist hurch at Rock
port, and well-known as an enthusiastic
champion Of woman's rights, on recent
Sunday evening advocated the cause on
st. Psups ground, "There is neither male
nor female, for we are all one in Christ
Jesus" One of the trustees, not quite
agreeing with st. Paul, undertook to stop
the meeting by removing the chimneys of
the lamps, and smoking the congregation
out. During the week meeting of the
society was called, and it was voted al
most unanimously to sustain Mr.. Vibbert,
whereupon, on the next Sunday, he took
the same text, and preached sermon ga

HOURS AT HoME.-In the February
number of Hours at Home, Rev George
B. Bacon takes in hand "The Literature
of our Sunday Schools" and there is no
class of literature, perhaps, in our lam
guage which more needs reform. Some
extracts are given from the concluding
volumes of Mr.. Froude's History, now in
press, describing the characters of Mary
of Scots and Queen Elizabeth. There are
three articles of popular science-"Some-
thing about Bats" by Prof. Wilder; ecu
riosities of Vision" by T. Edwards Clark !;
and most interesting account of frozen
wells at Brandon, in this State, and other
places. Lorenzo Dow gives some account
of "The Darien Expedition" and what
obstacles it will have to encounter. DIR.

CHESTER Notwithstanding the storm
had blocked the roads so as to render
travelling out of the village hazardous, if
not impossible, the festival given by the
ladies Wednesday night, in aid of pro-
curing a fire engine, proved a success,
and Ingraham's Hall was about as badly
blocked as the roads. All the sexes were
represented, and for all we could see it
was fair weather assemblage. All ages
and conditions were there, from the pratt
thing child to the Oldest bank president
and Free Mason now living in the United
States. Were it not presuming too much
on the interest of local item to the out
side world, would crave more space in
detailing the incidents of the evening; as
it is, brief synopsis of the proceedings
must suffice. The Old Folks land they
were genuine old folks too), made their
mark A scene in a farmers house, 60
years or more ago, was worth alone the
price of admission. No rehearsals were
necessary to perfect the actors, they had
learned by practical experience. Though
der of the programme, 1 give it preced-
ence, believing all who witnessed the ex-
ercises through will concur that it was
the principal feature of the evening
The good old people inspired us with
overlooking reverence and esteem for
them The Farce, "We're all Teetotal-
ers," was most laughable; following
which was produced in superb style,
the tableau of "Blue Beard and his
Wives" in two parts, the first. represent
ing the CORY old chap serenely cohtem-
plating the seven heads which graced the
walls of his palace. The second was en-
titled "Blue Boards Revenge" showing
this tabled monster in the act of striking
off the head of his eighth wife. Judging
from her appearance she was the most
lovely of them all. The Chester Cornet
Band furnished the music, giving some
very fine selections This band has re-
Gently been organized and is mostly made
up of members of bands now dissolved.
Their performances Wednesday evening
received praise right and left, and we be-
speak for them fame which will go out
beyond the boundaries of this immediate
vicinity as soon as they are known and
the services of first class band are re-
quired in any of our neighboring towns.
There is now wanting but about 500 to
make up the required amount, 5000, for
the engine, and we understand one of our
prominent merchants has signifed his in
tention of making up the balance.

A BALLOON VIEW OF A LONDON
Wednesday afternoon, when London and
the suburbs were enveloped in dense
fog, Mr.. Coxwell made a balloon ascent
from the Honsey Gas Works. Soon after
three o'clock the fog extended exactly In
the direction the balloon was travelling,
and presented strongly defined line of
vapor stretching for miles in an easterly
direction. The formation of this fog, as
witnessed W Mr.. Coxwell from his bal
loon car was, we hear, one of the most in
teresting occurrences in the adventurous
life of the great eronaut. Over the for
est, near Woodford, Mr. Coxwell and his
companion were unable to see the earth
at heighth of only 80 feet, and it was
only by the aid of a rope trailing on the
ground that level course could be regu-
lated so as to select an open spot on which
to alight. While in conversation with
some men who were following the balloon,
and could only hear the rustling of rope
among the bushes and trees, the eronauts
were supposed to be poachers. Keepers,
who were in close pursuit, rushed upon
the strangers when Mr.. Coxwell cast his
grapnel in a hedge, and great was their
surprise when they discovered what kind
of net and cordage it was trailing over
the park. So dense was the fog that the
balloon could not be seen, ana tine Voyag-
ers were supposed to be running along
the ground, although Mr. Coxwell pro-
claimed his balloon, but this was thought
to be ruse to draw off the keepers
attention. Notwithstanding the difficult
position Mr.. Coxwell was placed in as to
landing, still safe descent was made
near WoOdford at $50"

going were the actual sales--the family
using all the milk, butter and cheese they
required. Such figures need no COM
ment, and they emphatically answer the
question, " is the dairy business profit

rhe parry business I'm Vermont.

Amidst the general complaints OF dull
and hard times" it is gratifying to know
that the products of the dairymen OF
Vermont are paying largely. So long as
such is the.case,m may we not earnestly hope
that our Vermont dairymen will perceive
the Importance Of the necessity of PAINS
taking in their productions? An excellent
article always will sell. Even in dull
times, and when the markets are over
stocked, an "a. l." article will find pur-
chaser, whereas an inferior one will be
difficult of sale. This fact should be
borne constantly in mind.
The production of wool in our State is
now but trifing. A great change has oc-
Cured since 1850 in this respect. Think
ing men often feel that there is a tendency
to extremes in this as in other matters.
Many say that we go too much like ga
flock of Sheep" all over the abyss if the
"bell wether" leads. Our breadstuffs now
come mostly from the 'far West" and
Vermont's chief productions now are its
cattle, horses, butter, and cheese hence
the necessity of making these all they
should be, particularly the latter, for
which we have climate, water, and soil
we'll adapted We can have an album
dance of ice during the cheated term, 7"
conveniencies of nearly every kind, to-
gether with cheap and prompt facilities
for transporting these articles to the mar
kets, arriving there in good condition,
fresh and sweet, and tempting to those in
want of the same.
The foregoing considerations should en-
conraue onr Vermont farmers to renewed
and efficient labor in the production of a
article,-en article which must
always command the market.
With these hints to our farmers, let
them note the results secured by one of
their number in neighboring town, in
this vicinity, for the past season. His
sales were as follows
1900 lbs. butter, sold at 40c, $4,000
Hogs sold for 10000
1850 lbs cheese, sold at lie, 8. 1920

THE BYRON CONFERENCE.-The would
seem that the dissgreeable discussion
opened by Mrs Stowe ought to be consid-
cred now as closed. The London Quar-
that lady's "vindication," in which con-
siderable new matter is brought forth.
The writer says he has seen the memo
randum which Lady Byron lent to Mrs.
Stowe, and he positively asserts that it
does not contain one syllable from which
any sane person, without having what
Lord Byron calls "prejudicate opinion"
could say that Lady Byron ever made
the charge in question, or any charge in
volving crime, at any time. New letters
from Lady Byron to Mrs. Leigh are also
published, showing the greatest intimacy
and regard subsisting between Lord and
Lady Byron. Even the very scandal,
now so well-known, was communicated to
Lsdy Byron in February, 1916, by lady
of high social distinction, friend Of
Mrs. Leigh. Lady Byron in her reply of
the goth Of that month, deeply regrets
the reports in circulation relative to the
separation, and says that none can occa-
sion her more sorrow than that rejecting
on Mrs. Leigh. She adds: 'During my
residence under the same roof with Mrs
Leigh, all my friends have heard me ex-
