The top or nth story of the Ashuelot
House Is being removed. This noted "box

to strangers visiting our village, but its
mission seems ended and its epilaph may
be appropriately recorded with that of

sentence, "a Peg Lower"
The business of procuring a new hearse
for the town was committed to Mr.. $. w.
Field Of this village, and he has promptly
executed II to the entire satisfaction of our
people, dt an expense Of q little less thai

soap aboard was recently left unattended
in the road near the foot of Main street,
when the horses started towards home,
which they reached by double quick speed,
passed on by and down the steep bank into
Connecticut river where the water was
too deep and the temperature too low to
agree with their excited condition, and they
wisely decided to retreat, a feat which they
successfully executed without overturning
the wagon or doing other dana re.

THE KING OF THE CANNInAL ISLANDS

THE KING OF THE CANNInAL ISLANDS.
A Hawaii letter TO the n. Y. Observer
says:
That is the king-driving that span OF
housekeeping horses, in an American bug
gy, unattended, down Richards street. lie
is a bulky gentleman, five feet ten inches
high, some 300 pounds weight. IL years
old, wealthy, unmarried, intelligent is
said to have a mind of his own. under
standing himself and his people thorough
ly. He is the ifth in the line of the X lme-
hameha dynasty, grandson of the great
Kamehameha; who was born in 1876 and
died in lsl9 who was chief of Hawaii
when Cook and Vancouver visited these
islands in the last century; celebrated as
statesman and a warrior. His son, known
as Kamehameha H., succeeded him, and
abolished idolatry throughout the islands,
before the American missionaries arrived
in 1920. This great event was not owing to
any Christian principles of his, but TO his
love of dissipation since freedom from
the power OF the priests gave him oppor-
tunity to enjoy his fish and wives without
restraint OF superstitious customs. The
native people of the Sandwich Islands, as
race, are dying out. In 1921, the popula-
ton of all the islands was estimated by the
missionaries at 1920 In 1882, census
was taken, and the number found to be
1870, OOO in 1866, there were but 81, 900. This
is decrease of more than one half of the
population in 40 years. This wasting away
has continued not only with this people,
but with similar races in all parts Of Poly
nesia. The process OF decay goes on in
spite of improved social habits, better food,
clothing and shelter; and in spite of the
VIGOROUSLY cheerful, healthy and vigorous
appearance OF the islanders. The majority
of marriages are not prolific, even when
the married are in comfortable circunl-
stances and OF moral and industrious
habits and when there are births, they are
often felt to be a calamity. Villages con-
tanning many families have not a child
born to them. Settlements are vanishing,
cottages are vacated and destroyed, and
you may ride for miles in the country
without seeing new village, or hearing
the voices of children, or meeting human
being. There are now about $500 Anglo
Saxons living on these islands, and nearly
1900 industrious, painstaking Cinnamon.
1t is thought that. before many years have
gone by, Cinnamon will be the cultivators
of all tho exuberant soil Cf Polynesia,
aided by the capital and enterprise of white
men.

Frederick Denison Maurice, later Professor
of Casuistry and Moral Philosophy in the
University of Cambridge. New York
Hurd d Houghton /; Cambridge The Riv-
erside Press. The recent death Of Mr..
Maurice makes this volume especially
timely, since besides the work of the au-
thor there is an extended introduction Civ
ing sketch of his life, writings, ard char
acter, and a discriminating judgment of
his place In current literature. Maui Ice is
recognized as the foremost man in a COM
pany of earnest men who have given tone
TO recent English theology, ethical and So
cial writings. He was a warm friend OF
Tennyson, of Charles Kingsley, of John
Sterling, and of George Macdonald. Those
who criticised his views most sharply uni
ted with his friends in their eulogy Of his
singular fine, fearless, and generous char
acter. This little work on the Lords
Prayer will introduce him ns well as any
of his smaller writings could and one who
reads it will he able TO form pretty good
| idea OF Matrices style, his vigorous Eng
| llsu, MS DtOdu, Tree range Oh thought, anu
his freshness Of application. Those who

determines the influence which they had
and still have on English literature. Mr..
Shairps life has been spent with these men
or their immediate friends and disciples so
that his sketches have a strong personal in

who enjoy browsing in literary pastures.

Mr.. Wizards Supplemental Apportion-
ment bill, which gives Vermont an addl-
tional member OF Congress, has passed the
House, and confidence IL expressed that

In the House, during the past week, the
tariff has been under discussion, but is by
no means decided, and probably will not
be adjusted during the present session. In
the Senate the post Office appropriation bill
has passed, doubling the subsidy Of the
Pacific Mail company for the China service,
but the latter was struck out in the House,
as was an amendment abolishing the frank
Ing privilege. Another attempt has been
made to pass the general amnesty DILL, but
Senator Sumner persisted In TEACHING TO II
his civil rights bill, and 1t was again lost by
the casting vote of the vice president.
The House Committee on the District of
Columbia approve the bill appropriating
5000, 900 for the completion OF the Washing

been expended upon the work, and 1922, :
900 will be needed to complete the shaft
while the cost of the whole work, includ-
ing shaft and "Pantheon," or base, IL esti-
mated at 81, 220, 900.
Judge Poland last week introduced In
the House an amendment to the Constitu-

Important news comes from Washington
to the effect that rather than let the main
treaty fall, the President and Cabinet have
agreed upon short supplemental treaty to
cover the disputed question of indirect
claims. The supplemental treaty, the con-
ditions Of which were submitted by the
British Government, provides that when
ever either England or the United States
shall be at war, and the other neutral,
that the neutral shall only he liable for di-
rect damages arising from acts of prva-
trers, and that this rule shall govern the
Geneva tribunal in the settlement of all
claims which either party may lay before
1t. II Is probable hat the new treaty will
be ratified before Congress adjourns.

earthly career, a career most useful and
honorable, at the ripe age of seventy three
yenrs.
His name and presence are not unfamiliar
to many Of our readers. For the greater
part Of the past forty years he has made
Brattleboro his home. Here he began his
public service in the ministry of the gospel.
And TO the furtherance of the highest inter-
ests OF this, his adopted home, and through
1t those Of the State and the nation, he gave
the devoted effort of long and laborious
life.
Born at New Ipswich, N. H., March IL,
1899, the last year of the eighteenth century,
his education, life and spirit were emphati-
cally of and kept pace with the best move
ment of the nineteenth. His collegiate and
theological education were furnished by
Harvard college and the Cambridge Theo-
logical school. A graduate of the class of
1925, a class eminent for honorable names,
among which we may mention those of
Richard Hildreth, Willard Parker, NJ. D.,
A. p. Peabody, d. D., Robert Rantoul, Geo.
Putnam, d. D., Oliver Stearns, d. D., Ed
ward Jarvis, NJ. D., and others and of the
class OF 1881 from the Theological school, he
became minister of the newly established
Unitarian church of this village In 1892.
It's first minister, he continued In It's pasto-
ratio nearly fourteen years. On dissolving
his official connection with the church. he
