THE WHITEHALL RACEs.-The races
at Whitehall last week were productive
of a vast amount of amusement to such as
enjoy equine sports. On Thursday the
brown mare Ella Cole, the bay mare
Charmer and the gelding Gen. Mcclellan
trotted for the 5000 purse. The condi-
tons were: To harness, mile heats, best
three in five. Three heats were trotted
without deciding the race. Mcclellan
took the first heat in 2.32 On the second
heat, while leading handsomely, at the
third quarter he cast shoe, and the heat
was awarded to Ella Cole-time, 2.35.
On the third heat, Mcclellan and Charmer
each threw shoe, leaving Ella Cole the
winner of the heat in 2.3S. Darkness
put an end to the race, leaving some three
thousand dollars pending on the issue
taken in the pool Friday morning at ten
o'clock the race was resumed, a great
crowd having gathered to witness it.
The weather was bright and the track in
excellent condition. Gen. Mcclellan
tooh the HrsL neat, Snarmer the second,
and Ella Cole the third, winning the
race. The third heat would probably
have been won by Mcclellan, but on the
first half mile large greyhound ran be-
fore the horse and so heightened him
that his driver had TO stop him, and when
again brought down tc his work, the gap
between him and Ella Cole was too great
to be closed

question was for giving him second
hearing before the Commissioner of Pat

large majorities, but was vetoed by the

Of these reasons can hardly be considered
valid one, provided that it is true that
the inventor has been sufficiently compen-

would seem to come quite as properly be-

President has time for a full hearing Of
the case. Difficult as it is to see any bet.

VERGENNEs.-The past week has been
one of decided JOY among the churches.
1t has literally been week of thanks
Offering" On Tuesday evening, 18th inst,
the good people of Panton Methodist
church invited their present pastor, Rev.
Mr. Potter, to an entertainment given for
his benefit at the house of Mr.. Henry
Allen. An early hour found Mr.. Potter
and bis congregation together, with peo-
pie from other churches and from no
church at all, passing the moments in real
social pleasure. Tables richly laden with
good things for the inward man, together
with the voice of song, followed by re-
marks and prayer, made the evening one
not to be forgotten. A purse of $40 was
presented to Mr.. Potter, and happy hearts
retired to their homes to make ready for a
visit of the same sort for the benefit OF
Rev. Mr., Parker Baptist the ensuing
evening. In addition to the exercises of q
formal donation was that of II special pre-
sentation to Mr. Parker, aside from his
donation, of $106. A tree having been
hung with greeubacks, Mr., Potter pre-
sented his brother minister with the
offering, saying that, among other
trees mentioned in the Bible, we read OF
the trees of God. Tois he considered a
tree Of God, for it bore Gods fruit" 1t
was produced token of the blessings.
God is always ready to bestow upon his
faithful servants through his children
and such contributed JOY could only be
received by felt assurance that both
pastor and people would finally pluck fruit
from the "tree of life on either side of the
river"
Mr.. Parker replied in a few words APP
propriate to the character of the gifts and
the manner in which it came, having the
universal feeling of all present that 'it
was better to give than to receive"
Thursday evening, goth inst, found a
similar gathering at the Otter Greek
House, Weybridge, for the benefit of Rev
Mr.. Ingalls,, Methodist. Not being pres
emit at this entertainment, we are unable
to give detailed account of all that made
up the pleasure of the evening But from
what we have heard from eye-witnesses
we think it must have equaled if not sur
posed all other donations in this vicinity
Said one, 'the tables were splendid,
which literally interpreted means, the
best of everything. Mr.. ingalls, and wife
were made the happy recipients of purse
of $l06, which we venture to say will al
some time be fully returned to those who
contributed it and became a blessing to
the church and the world.
Sabbath afternoon Gen. George w.
Grandey spoke with great acceptability tc
the young people of Panton also N. G
Axtel, Agent of the State Temperance
Society, spoke to a full audience on the
demands of the Temperance cause.

THE FORT EDWARD MILI.INER.-The
Troy Times correspondent at Fort Ed
ward sends that journal the following,
which we believe is the latest concerning
the Fort Edward milliner's fortune:
"Upon the receipt of the news in the
New York Herald of Monday last, that
Mr.. Archibald, the British Consul at New
York, denied any knowledge of Miss
Gray, or of the fortune she claimed, the
article was read to her, when she re-
marked that though Mr.. Archibald had
made this statement, (which she disbe-
lieved, J nevertheless she had received
portion of the money, and expected soon
to have more. In company with her
brother she procured tickets for New
York and left on the first train on Tues
day morning. Some people think the girl
is crazy and large sums of money are
staked upon the result. Those who know
the family best have never had faith in
relation to the story"

TABLE TALK.-It is deplorable and
amusing that while. Catholicism and Prot.
estantism have SO much in common, the
differences should be so many and irrecon-
oilable. Father Hyacinthe has done
much to awaken this reflection. Wonld

to show to both parties the way of peace
heard one Sunday morning an ex.
cellent Protestant sermon that Catholic
might have preached and heard in the af.
ternoon Catholic sermon that might
have been preached by a Protestant, which
might lead to the inquiry whether the
two faiths are not essentially one.
1t belongs to thinkers to gather the
seeds of wisdom scattered in books. II
belongs to books to furnish the thinker
with the greater part of the material for
his thinking.

Bible the Dog is never spoken of except
as revolving object, while the Cat is not
alluded to at all.

LADY OUsLEY's RETURN TO VERMONT.
Lady Ousley (aee Marcia Van Neas) is
on visit to Burlington, for the first time
in thirty years, and is the guest of ex-
Lieut.. Gov. Underwood. The Free Press
takes the occasion to copy from the His.
torical Gazetteer Hon. ID. A. Smalley's
sketch of the Van Ness family:
Gov. Van Ness had three sons, James,
Cornelius and George, and two daughters
10y his first marriage) Marcia Lady Gus
ley and Cornelia Mrs. Roosevelt. OF the
sons, James, the oldest, is the only one
living. OF the daughters,
Marcia, said by those who knew her to
have been young lady of fine talents
and of brilliant accomplishments, was
early married lin March, 1921 to Mr..
W. Gore Ousley-subsequently made Sir
W. G. Ousley--and then an attache of
the British Legation at Washington.
Cornelia, native of st. Adams, the re-
naming daughter of the first Mrs. Van
Ness, was the favorite niece of Gen. John
P. Van Ness, and usually resident mem
Der of his family at Washington. She is
well remembered as distinguished belle
of that city before her marriage to the
Hon. j. j. Roosevelt, recently one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court of New
York, and is said TO have been young
lady of great beauty of person and OF
most fascinating address. Possessing
much of her distinguished fathers ability,
she was we'll versed in the political affairs
of the country, and is said to have exer-
cised great and conservative influence
over more than one of the administrations
that have had in charge the interests of
the nation. She is still living, and since
her marriage to Judge Roosevelt has been
a resident Of New York, where her exer-
else of genial and extensive hospitality is
well known and justly appreciated by the
many distinguished visitors who frequent
that city.

THE ROBBERY OF THE NORTH ADAMS
BANK.-The Springfield Republican OF
Tuesday contains the following relative
to the robbery of the Savings Bank at
North Adams, Mass, on the night of the
9Th inst.
The burglars of the Savings Bank OF
North Adams, the other night, escaped
on hand car, which they left early Sum
day morning at the Petersburg IN. y
station. In their haste they dropped q
pocket-book containing $42 belonging to
the bank One of the men took breakfast
at the Mosier's Hotel in North Hoosac,
N. Y, and was known. Another called
at the house of Mr.. Green in Petersburg,
and was carried by parties to Troy. This
clue to the robbery aud robbers was fol-
lowed up during the week in Troy and
Albany, until proposition came to Mr..
Rodman FL. Wells, from persons author
lied by the villains, that the latter would
compound the matter by giving up the
papers, provided they should not be prose-
cuted and they should retain the bonds
and money; otherwise, if pursued, the
papers to be burnt. 1t was not certainly
known on Saturday night whether this
arrangement had been concluded. 1t
seems that over $350,000 in notes, orders
and other collateral securities were taken,
besides the cash and United States bonds
amounting to over $4,000. The main de-
posits have always been kept in the Ma
tional Bank, and had the thieves captured
that bank. as no doubt they intended to
do, the savings bank would have met with
severe loss.

PERsoNAL.-The Free Press says: A
correspondent informs us that DIR. Charles
A. Sprague, who was described in recent
item in this paper as an assistant surgeon
in the Navy, just returned from a four
years. trip, is nothing of the sort; that he
has been running a drug store and dis
trict school instead of u. S. frigate, and
that he has not been out of the State, for
any length of time, in four years. We
do not find DIR. Sprague's name in the
Navy Register.
We learn from the Chicago Post that
our..old friend and class mate, Homer Nash
Hubbard, has been appointed additional
Register in Bankruptcy, in consequence of
the long continued illness of Judge Lin
coin Clark. He will at once enter upon
his duties. The Post says "that his quail
ifcations will be demonstrated by prompt
ness and intelligence, and satisfaction to
the public" Thus, we have no doubt, he
will make a prompt and efficient officer
from our knowledge of his early personal
characteristics of energy and correctness
Mr.. Hubbard has earned an excellent and.
widespread reputation as lawyer dur
ing his residence in the West. We are
glad to learn Of the eminent success of
our old friend, both in his profession and
public favor.
We learn from the Free Press that
Mr.. Anson Byington died in Charlotte on
the 10Th inst, at the advanced age of 80.
Mr.. Byington was one of the pioneers of
the anti-slavery movement in this State,
his earnest, we might almost say impa-
tient spirit, keeping him in advance of the
predominant sentiment of the State. He
was one of the Liberty or "Free Soil"
party in Vermont. He was an active
advocate of the Temperance reform, and
universally respected as an upright, sim
cere and worthy citizen.

WAsH-OUTs ON THE WHITEHALL &
PLATTsBURGH RAILRoAD.-The Platts-
burgh Sentinel says that the cars which
left the Point of Rocks on Tuesday morn
ing at 8 o'clock, were delayed scout one
hour in a deep cut, about one-fourth of a
mile on the Plattsburgh side of that sta
ton, by sand-slide which completely
covered the track to the depth of two
feet, and 80 or 40 feet in length. Again
in motion, and when crossing the first
trestle work, the train settled somewhat.
Having entirely crossed, the train was
stopped, and on examination it was dis
covered that part of the work had been
entirely undermined by the water during
the night, leaving the posts without any
support whatever. The train consisted OF
the locomotive of % tons weight, one pas
senger car and two baggage cars.

A Compliment 10 Vermont.

a State Convention will be held at
Montpelier on the I'd of February in ad-
vocacy of the extension of suffrage to
woman, and arrangements will then be
made for series of meetings, at points
accessible to all the inhabitants of the
State.
1t is probable that no where in the
United States can community be found,
SO well prepared to take this great crown
ing step in political progress as is the
State of Vermont More than four-ffths
of her people are of native birth. They
have been trained in an efficient system of
free schools, where boys and girls have
been educated together Churches and
Sunday Schools exist all over the State
There are fewer idlers and stragglers than
elsewhere. There are no large manufac-
turing towns and cities, no extremes of
wealth and poverty. The people are
mostly intelligent farmers and their fam
lilies, tilling their own land and calling no
man master. Probably no equal number
of people in the world read more and
think more than they. During the long
frosty winter nights, by the cheerful light
of their great wood fires, books and news
papers are among the necessaries of life
Moreover her people have been reared in
the traditions of liberty. No slave ever
breathed the elastic air of her hills. Men
and women have learned the invaluable
lesson of self help. They know how to
respect the rights of others and to main
tain their own.
Vermont can never emulate in growth
of wealth and population the manufacture
ing States of the seaboard, or the prairie
States of the West. But she can win a
nobler prominence in the quality of her
institutions. She may achieve proud
place in history. She may be the first
State, as Wyoming already is the first
territory, to give political equality to
woman, and to show the world the model
of a true Republic onaon's Journal
