ISOLATION.


This body held its thirty-seventh an
niversary with the church in Windham,
Rev. Mark Carpenter, pastor. 1t was
organized by the choice of Rev. l.. j.
Matteson, of Brattleboro, moderator,
Rev. G. p. Frenyear, of Jamaica, clerk,
and Bro S. II. Sherman, of Dover,
treasurer.
The Introductory sermon was preached
by Rev. Matteson. Other sermons were
preached by Revs: r. R. Prentice, L. b.
Hibbard and J. II. Parmelee.
From the church letters we gather the
following facts
There are IA churches in this associa-
ton, with a membership of 1905. Leav-
ing out the BrattlebOrO church, which
contains 400 members and is the largest
in the State, the average membership is
S4 A few of these churches date back
as far as 1888. Not many of them have
ever been very prosperous, but have done
a noble and steady work, these many
years, in giving up their best trained
members to labor in newer and more
promising fields.
The past year has been one of more
than average prosperity. Three churches
have received special additions. Brattle-
boro, 118; 81 by baptism. West Wards
bOrO, 24-12 by baptism. BroOkline, Is
10 by baptism. These three churches
received all the additions except II.
which divided among the remaining II
churches, gives less than 2 each.
Total number added, ia: by baptism,
1906 Total loss, &C. Net gain, 168.
Pastors have been assistedin extra meet
ings by Revs. A. B. Earl, J. Tilson, c.
Y. Swan and VI. J. Knowlton. There
has been an increase of one pastor in
the year, and the death Of one who had
no charge last year This was Dr. HOr-
ace Fletcher Of Townshend, who was
81 years pastor of that church and
whose praise is in all the churches. All
the churches have pastors but two: Hal
flax Center and Nottingham. The
oldest pastor is Rev Origin Smith of Do
yer, settled in 1851. The next oldest is
Rev. A w. GOodnOw. of Wilmington.
settled in 1860. The oldest minister in
the Association, and the only one not
settled, is Father Samuel Fish, of Hall
fax Center, who has spent long and
useful life in this town. He is no long
er able to endure the fatigue of preach
ing, and is only able, as he says, ''to do Il
.telc chores for JeSuS.
The annual session of the Association
this year, as usual, was a very profitable
and harmonious one. The sermons were
full of thought and power, and the de
votional meetings graced with the Divine
presence.
\ uniform plan of benevolencc was
adopted. y spirited discussion took
place on the subject of the Incorporate
use of liquors and tobacco: and time Of
holding the next anniversary from the
third Wednesday in September to the
third Wednesday in August.
With enlivened faith and encouraged
hearts, the Association adjourned to en-
ter upon another year Of labor and toll.
perhaps Of death and reward.

DEATH OF THE KING OF SWEDEN
The death of Charles Louis, King of
Sweden, is announced by cable as having
taken place at Malmo, near Copenhagen
on Wednesday evening. He was born
May Sd, 1926, and was the son of King
Oscar l., and grandson of the renowned
Bernadotte, who reigncd as Charles XIV.
of Sweden. He succeeded to the throne
upon the death of his father, which oc-
Cured on the Sth of July, 1859. For
the two years preceding the death of his
father, the late king acted as regent and
became quite popular During his reign
there were few occasions which placed
him prominently before the world, or
even before his own country. During
the aggressive war waged by the two
great German powers against Denmark,
in 1864, the sympathy of tie Swedish
nation was openly expressed in. behalf
of the weaker party, and at one time the
probabilities of her becoming party to
the strife was very strong. At that time
the king exhibited an independence and
boldness Of attitude, toward Germany,
which showed that he was not lacking
in courage. Fortunately the troubles
were settled without the embodiment of
the nation with the Germans. and peace
continued to ricgn. Personally. the
character Of Inc deceased monarch was
without r.proach Hewas generous in
his conduct toward his subjects char
table, ii pure, unsul!iad life, aprofound

men who drew their blades against this
country become reconeiled to that ban

then shall harmony and peace prevail.
For our own part there is no need of re-

by it to place the heroes of the loyal PEG

each one go home to his city, to his

The Reconciliation Needed.

The fourth resolution of the Pittsburg
convention. and the closing remarks of
Gen Logan, not only truthfully express
the attitude of the Union soldier, but
also 81 tie republican party. There is
no one who caal place his finger on Il
single act of the party sad say it was
done for the purpose OF revenge. ii has
ever cordially extended the hand to every
man who in good faith accepted the re-
rults of the war No such man has ever
asked for complete amnesty for the past
aud been refused. while it has granted
amnesty tG thousands who still by word
and act continue to resist the settlements
of the war. What more could 1t do :
There is on its part no reconciliation re-
quired. Mr.. Logan justly remarked,
"When those men who drew their blades
against this country become recOnCiled
to that banner and to the authority of
the nation, then shall harmony and
peace prevail"
The Greeley organs, especially those
that profess ts advocate his election on
moral and religious grounds, tell us that
the devine method of reconciliation is
by mercy and forgivness, and we should
pursue the same method with our errinr
brethren Of the South. But we have
meyer beard that the Almighty proposed
TO abdicate the throne and install the
devil instead, ia order to concilate those
who will not be rec0nciled ala any other
conditions. Yet that is what the rep,ib-
lcan party are invited to do by these
ministers of reconciliation, and then the
friends of the administration are sound
ly berated as unchristian and all that,
because they cannot see the propriety of
eoneiliaSsgg the South in this way
Mercy and forgiYRess they have had to
their surfeit, till they have come to think
they have done no wrong. What they
ask is the power, which the republicans
are not ready to grant, till they give bet
ter evidence of disposition to use it in
patriotic manner. Springfield Uuj0n.

construction from stereOscope. Messrs.

The excursion of the Congregations
al Sabbath school last Thursday was a
complete success. The weather in the
morning was unpropitious, and probably
kept many from going, but before the
train left here the rain had ceased, and
a finer day for an excursion has not been
this season. The rain during the night
and early morning laid the dust nicely,
and the clouds modified the suns rays
sufficiently to make just such day as
one would choose if allowed the priv
lege. Upon their arrival at Rutland the
excursionists found the Town Hall
thrown open for their accommodation,
and tables arranged for their use also
ice water in abundance, and an opportu-
nifty for heating water for making coffee,
ETC., and what most surprised them, all
attempts to pay for the hall and accom-
panying privileges were rejected. A
vote of thanks was unanimously given,
as the best return they could make under
the circumstances, to the friends there
who had shown them such attention.

MOUNT Holly, VT
September Is, 1872.
Editors Herald Il noticed in yester-
days HERALD a communication from
"Volunteer of 81, " in regard to refund
ing Communication money paid by drafted
men, in which he cndeavors to show
that they have no just claim upon the
State, and expresses the opinion that
our honest and competent legislators
will agree with him in his conclusions.
1t seems to me, Mr.. Editor. that Vol
unteer's ideas of justice are somewhat
zone sided" He admits that the drafted
men have rendered a substantial service
to the government that the money paid
by them was used in putting down the
rebellion, and was considered by the
government, at that time, when they
were in great want of funds, to be as an
equivalent for personal service. Yet he
talks about the cheek of drafted men in
presenting a claim for compensation.
If ''Nolunteer's" services had been
free gift to the country, be might with
some show of reason, deny the claim of
drafted men for pay. But he, doubtless.
received his regular government and
State pay, and perhaps belongs to that
class who received in addition a bounty
OF from three to eight hundred dollars
from his town, and who, notwithstand-
ing the ''the long dreary marches" and
midnight vigils, would 60 again for
the same pay.
/ think the drafted men have a lust
claim upon the State for services render
ed, that they are the only class OF men
who ever filled a call on Vermont for
troops, without receiving some pay for
1t, and that our honorable, justice loving
legislators will give our claim the fair
consideration which it merits.
If | am not mistaken. the States of
Rhode Island and New Hampshire have
refunded the money paid by these draft
ed men.

THAT RATIO OF GAIN.-We have made
an accurate computation, says the Mis-
souri, Democrat, of the time it will take
for the Liberals and Democrats, accord
ing to the ratio of the gain in the recent
elections, to get control of this country.
We find that if they keep up their spirits
and hold together as they do in North
Carolina and Maine, they will come into
power in about seventy-four years.
This is not very cheering, but it is better
than nothing
