The Free Religious Association il in ..

/ Inc Free Religious Association is in 40
tive operation to-day with three sessions
with representative men with their ESSAYS
bearing upon the subject, from thei,
points of view. They have less to say
about faith and make more of reason and
intellect, which they fancy they make
soar higher and go deeper into philosophy
truth, nature, science and religion, than
their neighbors OF the old faith. Tkeir
essays are apt to be as quite connected
and satisfactory as time and space will al.
low; but they must leave many things
unexplained and untouched.
And they have way of leaving their
opponents to the greatest disadvantage, if
they choose, in their hasty omittings.
There is the same inclination to talk Of
reforming the individual through "hu-
mainly" that is shown by!a more censerva-
tive branch of their faith. 1t is in &C.
cordance with their theory of practice, at
these conventions, to show representa-
tive man for every prominent religion
now existing. A Jew they had, but no
Brahmin or Mohammedan, nor a real ma
tive devotee of score of other well known
religions. But they showed the greatest
respect for them, and with charity that
the christian world does not boast of,
overlooked their weak points, for the BEN
eft of the main question. AS formerly,
the representative Free Thinkers in this
country were present, and brought each
his religion and unfolded it to view.
There was one thing that marked this as
semblage or organization as being still
earthly, though they spent most of their
time in the realms of true philosophy,
free from error, of high and lofty talk
and not of deeds-that was a call from
their president for funds, for contributions
for convictions sake. So it has come to
this that man is expected to be con-
WINGED and pay for it also.
o. B. rockingham of New York, pre-
sided, and Potter and HiQginson, Lucre-
tia Mott, well known Trinitsrian Free
Thinker among the Quakers, with occa-
sionally a new name. were the speakers,
those of last year.
The material that goes to make these
meetings and convention, of
al shades, has the quality of revolving
and appearing in new places or in other
meetings and conventions, and like occa-
sions. Several of the chief actors in the
free religious association had previously
AIKEN part in the Woman's Suffrage meet
ngs, and subsequently other public meet
ngs of the Womsn's Club, and all perse-
Eering in the Unitarian festival SO of
he educational and religious organiza-
lions of other sects. Some energetic mem
ners multiplying their Offices and deeds
If love and charity in this manner. 1t
must be so, for there are so many societies
hat there are not enough active persons of {
eisure to FIJI the Offices and do the talking, {
ne in place. "B" {

The Woodstock Railroad.

was summoned to Woodstock on the
gath of last month, and I had converse.
| ton with one of the railroad Directors
and found that Hon. Prosper Merrill had
that day started for Boston, or some inter-
mediate place, to negotiate for the build
ing of their railroad. The Director in
formed me that they expected to get the
following terms: The Vermont Valley
is to raise $75, 900, the Vt. Central $75,-
900, The Northern N. FL. $37,500; The
Concord S37, 500. The are to take Ethe
road finished, and run it and pay them
for it annually (per cent. was not agreed
upon,) for their $75, 900, and they were to
have certain time to redeem the road,
which was not agreed upon. Now this
gives all three parties equal power in
control. The n. n. II. and Concord are
equal with the Central. In this arrange
ment you see that straws show which
way the wind blows. If the remain ing
link between Woodstock and Healdviile
could be contracted for at the same rate
or price of the Montpelier Il Wells River
road, it could be built for from $780,
900 to $650,000. I think it would not
exceed 100000.

discourse on this question during the sum.
mer at Whitehall, Rutland, Fsirhayen
and Poultney.
Mr.. j. 81. Ransom had the unmis.
taxable satisfaction of relieving the purse
OF Rhode Island man the other day of
between six and seven thousand dollars
for wool at fifty cents per pound that had
been accommodating on his hands ELL ce the
spring of 1860. Mr.. Ransom refused one
dollar pound for the first three or four
thousand pounds, thinking it would bear
erowding to one dollar and one per pound
but it has been crowding the other way
from that day to this. We think it is the
largest individual sale of wool over effec-
ted in town and perhaps in tn county.
de and some of his neighbors feel pretty
well about it any way.
Our gallant fremen invite all of us
to partake with them at the Town Hall
next Friday evening, of strawberries, ice
cream and other luxuries of the season.
We dare say "every body and his wife"
and some of the children will b. there, at
least they should be, to unite with them
in the luxurious festivities of this deli
cious occasion. Bw.B.

KINICK KINICK, Wis, May 81, II.
Editor Rutland Herald The North
ern Pacific Railroad may seem to yor
like a distant enterprise, and one thai
will effect you but little. But to us it il
of practical, financial importance Very
many families are going out to take ur
homesteads on the line of it, from this i'm
mediate vicinity. Most of them go tc
Otter Tail County. Some, however, 90
to what is known indefinitely as the RED
River Country" to seek their fortunes,
and nearly every local paper brings word
of some who are going yet farther west
Some go to farming and others into the
lumber country to start saw mills. Two
families of my acquaintance have gone
for this country.
Vermonters need not fear to come this
way or go to the n. P. R. R., for thew
will find the Green Mountain boys and
girls all about. Martin E. Severance, of
the class of 1868, of Middlebury College,
arrived here to-day, with an eye to q
chance in the Red River Country, or on
the railroad as engineer. There are
about here, maRy of the Davises, from
Riohford, Vt, and vicinity. One has a
son who has gone to Chippeway county,
MINI, to take homestead The first in
skill of five physicians in River Falls, DR..
s. M. Davis, is one of the stock, and he
takes great pleasure in befriending his
brothers from Vermont, who come here
strangers.
Martin E, Cady, A. B., Professor of
Ancient Languages and Mathematics, in
the st. Croix Collegiate Institute, and
Academy, at River Falls, is a
graduate of Middlebury College, SO. He
has recently begun to preach some for
the NJ. E. Church, and meets with excel
lent success due not only to the fervor,
but to the deep thought shown in his SER
mons.
The lady whose hospitality enjoy to-
day, Mrs. S. W. Williams, and whose
skill does credit to her native
State, was from Vermont, near Hyde
Park, and her maiden name was Hurl-
burt.
The county superintendent for this
county, although not born in Vermont,
studied law at Chester, and went to war
from Vermont. His name is E. s. Reed,
and his education was begun at Phillips
Academy and finished at Brown Univers-
ty. R. I.
Here are large number of the Profits,
Nichols and Morses, from Randolph and
,icinity.
Soldiers who wish land for homesteads
lnder the rcceut act of Congress, can
hardly do better than to, come to the
Northern Pacific. Railroad to get their
arms. The land is fertile, the climate
ealthy, and the line of the road will be
ettled very fast. Much rainy weather
as, for a short time, delayed the track
aging and other work. Some are even
ow looking forward to the celebrated
lumber region of Puget's Sound as their I
nture home. The western man is a per-
sct cosmopolitan if the world is open to L
in every part. Hs.B.

INCIDENT OF DECORATION DAY.-The
Burlington Free Press says: In the pro.
cession at Rutland, in the same carriage,
rode two students of Middlebury College,
Hiram Smith, jr., and Edwin M. Sher-
man, whose battle SCARED frames tell q
sad story of the fearful price paid for our
victory in the late war Sherman was a
member of Company c., 18th Vermont
Volunteers, was wounded September 18th,
1854, at Winchester, by an ounce ball in
the knee, and the limb was amputsted
upon the field. Smith, who was, before
the war, fine stalwart specimen of a
man, was member of Company E., of the
Same regiment, and was so fearfullv
wounded at Berryville, Va, September
18th, 1854, by rebel shell, that the sur
geons were obliged to smputate both the
left arm and leg. Flowers from the fing-
ers of these MANNED veterans upon their
dead comrades graves have deeper signi.

scatter them are filled with fearful mem
cries of those

A SAD MIsHAP.-Mrs Leavitt Hunt OF
New York, who arrived at her summer
residence at Westhersfield Bow, the other
day, with Ave children, three servants and
% trunks, experienced sad mishsp with
the baggage. The trunks were taken
from the railroad station in hay cart
with two horses, being fastened on with a
chain, passing over the whole; but when
driving on to the ferry-bost, the chain
broke, letting some of the trunks down
upon the driver, who lesped on to one of
the frightened horses, which, in turning
jumped into the river, taking trunks and
all. Horses, driver and cart sank and
rose three times, but were finally rescued
after hard struggle. The river, with it's
floating trunks, resembled Boston harbor
In olden times with it's chests of tea, and
several of the trunks went down the
stream as far as Hubbard's islands. The
contents of the Sarstogas were completely
ruined, and the loss, although not def
nitely estimated, must have been quite
heavy.

The NEW LOAN IN EURoPE.-The Eu
ropean holders of five-twenty bonds have
shown difidence about exchanging them
for those Of the new loan through fear Of
losing interest on the former. For the
purpose of facilitating the exchange Of
the five-twenties for the new loan, especi.
ally in Europe, it is understood that the
Secretary of the Treasury will issue no.
tice for the redemption of certain
amount of fve-twenties, in accordance
with the fourth section of the funding
bill, which authorizes him, sat the expi-
ration of three months public notice, to
redeem with any coin in the Treasury,
which he may lawfully apply to such pur-
pose, six per cent. bonds of the United
States, known as fve-twenty bonds, which
have or shall become redeemable by any
other ISSUE" etc.

Little Minnie.

We gathered by her bedside
While her angel spirit fed,
Our only little daughter
Was numbered with the dead,
Six years we kept her with us,
Then her spirit passed away
On angel wings to heaven
Just year ago to-day.
Her skin "a fair as morning,
He1 fosy silken curls,
Her voice to US the sweetest
OF all the little girls.
Our darling blue-eyed Minnie,
Such loving little pet,
For the loss of such a jewel
Our hearts are bleeding yet.
When those we love most dearly
Are called to final rest;
The theory, that Providence
Doth all things for the best,
Is keen to put in practice,
A all will testify
When those they love most dearly
Are called upon to de.
We have pictures, books and flowers,
The lounge and easy chair,
And darling little Willie,
But Minnie isn't there.
Each day her toys and clothing
And little cradle bed
Remind us so of Minnie
And everything she said.
Six years she made us happy
In her gentle loving way,
Then took her leave forever
Just year ago to- day.
