The weathes for the past week has
been extremely cold. March thus far
has been the coolest month of the sea-
son, and the weather does not seem to
moderate much yet. 4 thaw is talked
of, but it is not expected this month.
Water is scarce here. The snow IL very
deep in some places, and some Of the
roads have had to be shOveled out every
day for the past week. Such weather
for March, has seldom been experienced
in the memory of the oldest inhabitant.
Leap year parties are all the rage
here now. Their object seems to be for
fun rather than funds
Much sickness prevails at present
Lung fever is the most prevalent disease,
-Four have died within the past month.
Rev. A w. Eastman preached his
last sermon before conference yesterday.
MIR. Eastman has been worthy pastor
here for two years. during which time
the church and Sabbath School has
greatly prospered. According tG the
rules of conference, it is not expected
that he will be returned, but he will car
~ with him, wherever he may be lOcat-
ed, the good wishes of many friends.
Our venerable friend Mr.. o. II.
Rounds, is recovering from Frustrated

PUBLIC RINTING.-The State printing
and advertising Of New Jersey has for
many years been the means of support
ing many small newspapers. The late
efforts at reform ';y the Legislature are
met with the fiercest abuse. An effort
has been made to repeal the laws requir-
ing the publication Of the laws In so
many of the newspapers, and this has
aroused the mercenary editors to a fresh
attack on the reformers. A similar re-
form proposed in Congress, the abolition
of the useless custom Of printing the
statutes in certain designated papers was
defeated, by the exertions of Mr., Pome-
roy of Kansas.

A CoLoRED BIsHOP.-The election of
Il Golored Bishop at the next session of
the General Conference of the Methodist
Church is question mooted among the
journals Of that church. The Methodist
Ad00cate of Atlanta, Ga, strongly advo-
Gates the measure as both just and poll
tic. This proposition is strongly en-
dorsed by a number of the leading
thoughtful minds of the ministers of the
Methodist Church. 1t will be the glory
of this, the first of American churches
to grapple with the power of slavery in
1914, to be the first to recognize in full
the significance of the idea of universal
manhood embodied in the fifteenth
amendment.

hear Mrs. Noble, as we are convinced
that she is reader of great ability.
Lovers of the drama will have an OppOr

his real estate i'll town, cOntemplates
visit to Minnesota at an early day, with
the intention of locating permanently in

NORTH CLARENDON. The funeral ser
vices of Miss Luella Hayward, were held
in the Mission chapel, Monday afternoon
at o'clock, and were conducted by Rev.
E. Mills, assisted by the choir of the
Rutland Baptist church. The discourse
was brief but appropriate to the occasion,
founded on Sd Cor, T.; II, and was fol
lowed by fervent prayer for the deep
ly bereaved family and sorrowing
friends An unusual sOlemnity and still
ness prevailed during the services,
which was all the more remarkable CON
sidering that the house was so uncom-
fortably crowded; for it has rarely been
our lot to attend a funeral where so
large a number of friends and neigh
bOrs were gathered, or where more sim
cere and tender interest was manifested.
May God comfort the sorro wing parents
whose daughter has been thus suddenly
smitten down by raging fever.

The Town SYsTEM.-Corinth at it's
annual meeting in 1871, adopted the
town system of schools, consolidating all
the district into one. A subsequent
meeting resctnded the vote. The case
was taken to the Supreme Court and was
tried at the last Orange County Court.
The Supreme Court decides that there is
no alternative, and that the first vote
could not be rescinded, and that Corinth
has adopted the town, and that school
directors are. in power and cannot get
out save by tue help of the Legislature.

CONGRESSIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS -
\ correspondent Of the Utica Hsro'3
says
The second plan proposed is to make
il penal offense for congressman. en-
cept in writing and at the request Of the
appointing power, to solicit or recon-
mend appointments to, or removals from
office. A bill to this effect is now pend
ing before the House, framed by Mr.
Willard of Vermont, and will soon be
acted upon. That it will not pass is.
clear from the fact that it practically
attributes the evils of the service directly
to Congress. Whatever the fact may be,
Congress will never confess itself the
only wrong doer, by passing the bill.
This is Senator Trumbull's idea Of the
reform, and was urged by him in his
Mondays speech. 1t is not for me to
say how much of sour grapes there
may be in Trumbull's fierce pushing of
this bill. 1t is too true that Congress
men often make sad havoc with the
civil service, insisting upon the APP
pointment of incompetent men, and up
on the removal Of good officers to make
room for impOrtunate fayoritcs. But if
the appointments do not come from Con-
ptessmcn, Ben. Butler insists that they
will dcvOlye upon ''Claim agents and
middle men, and that we will thereby
be fiyiEg from bearable evils, to evils
that We know not of. If Congressman
could be held strictly accountable for
every recommendation they make, they
would make fewer bad ones.

The National Park.

The following is the report of the
committee on public lands, to the House
of Representatives, describing the Won
derful region known as the "Yellow-
stone country" 1t was on the strength
of the facts herein stated that Congress
passed the bill, setting apart this region
for National park:
The bill now before Congress has for
it's object the withdrawal from settle
ment, occupancy, or sale, under the
laws of the United States, tract of
land 'fffty-fve miles, about the sources
of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers
and dedicates and sets it apart as great
National park orpleasure ground for the
benefit and enjoyment OF the people.
The entire area comprised within the
limits of the reservation contemplated in
this bill is not susceptible of cultivation
with any degree of certainty, and the
winters would be too severe for stock
raising. Whenever the altitude of the
mountain districts exceeds 5000 feet
above tide-water, their settlement be-
comes predetermined unless there are val
liable mines to attract people. The en-
tire area within the limits of the propOs-
ed reservation is over 5000 feet in alti-
tude, and the Yellowstone lake, which
occupies an area IS by % miles, or 800
square miles, is 2, 427 feet. The ranges
of mountains that hem the valleys in on
every side rise to the hight of 10000 and
$4,000 feet, and are covered with snow
all the year. These mountains are all
Of volcanic origin, and it is not prOba-
bic that any mines or minerals of value
will ever be found there. During the
months of June, July and August, the
climate is pure and invigOrating, with
scarcely any rain or storms of any kind;
but the thermometer often sinks as low

A SwINDLE.-A fellow who registered
himself at Athol, Mass, as F. D. Red
field of Cambridgeport, Vt, has perpe-
trated little swindle on the people of
Athol, in this way. He displayed
circular upon which were printed the
names of the leading magazines and il
Illustrated papers, ten of each, the total
yearly subscriptions to which amounted
to $50. He wished to form clubs of ten
persons, each persons advancing five dol
lars, and each receiving from the other
members of the club in rotation the
various publications upon the list Red
field succeeded in getting up club, and
collected his money promising that the
six publications would arrive the next
week. Six weeks have now elapsed and
nothing has been received by the
''club" and nothing heard from Redfeld
who might be "clubbed himself, if he
should re-appear. He is rather a tall
young man, from 25 to 30 years of age,
with light complexion, sandy moustache
and sore eyes; is easy in conversation,
wears low hat, and is otherwise dress
ed well. No doubt he is now ''clubbing"
other towns. Look out for him.

Troy correspondence.

Editor Rutland Herald To render
the location of the building that is en-
titled to our chief attention in this letter
to be more readily apprehended, allow
me to remind the reader that in former
letters he was supposed to have been left
in the extensive dry goods store of G. Y.
S. Quackenbush g. Co., on the corner of
Broadway and Third street, opposite the
new Times building, while the writer
was looking up few items of general
news. Now, if he pleases, we will again
lock arms and continue our tour of in
spection. Emerging from the above
named store, we will leave Broadway,
and passing north, about half block,
on Third street, we are standing in front
of another new and beautiful structure,
known as

BOSTON CLOrHIX0 HOUSE,


which, like G. V. s. Quackenbush x
Co. s store, has, by its long standing, fair
dealing, immense stock and low prices,
become one of our leading institutions.
This is one of twenty-five retail branches
of the largest manufacturing houses in
Boston, and does yearly business
amounting to about 100000. VIM. L.
G, Shepard, the local agent, and his
large corps of gentlemanly and obliging
statesmen, spare no pains to make the
visitor comfortable and the purchaser
satisfied; and last but not least he knows
how to make the printer glad by extern
sivc advertising. There is such an air of
comfort and such an endless variety of
goods to attract, that we should be in
danger of staying here too long, were it
not that just across the street in the
Opera House, the famous
