Mr.. II. B. IIagar, on returning from
Middebury, Monday week, had his sleigh
upset by too sharp turn at the corner
near Col. Isaac brakes, and the horse
went on home without driver. The
seat of the sleigh got out and walked and
one side of the sleigh was considerably
ventilated. No other serious damage.
1T has now become settled that Rev
Mr., Hubert of New Jersey, who it was
hoped might be induced to return to his
former charge in New Haven, will moi
come and the New Haven church now
appears to be without immediate prospect
of securing a pastor.

SUNDAY School WORK. The Addison
County Sabbath School Association held
their sixth convention, for the season, at
Weybridge, on Wednesday, February
2Sth. The people seem to be thoroughly
awakened to the Importance of the meet
ing and manifested that interest by the
large attendance, the house being filled
at an early hour in the day, and in the
afternoon and evening extra seats had to
be brought in, and every available place
in the house was occupied.
The first question discussed in the
morning, GLOW can We best secure the
salvation of our Sabbath School schol-
ars?" Opened by Rev. W. N. Bacon,
Shoreham. Second question, Incident
al Advantages secured by the Sabbath
School" opened by Rev. DR.. Kitchel,
Middlcbury. In the afternoon, first
question, Duties and qualifications Of
Superintendent opened by Mcssrs. c..
n. Hayward, Bridport and Henry Lane,
Cornwall. Then followed a discussion of
the subject, "Music as an element of re-.
ligious worship" opened by Rev. W. W.
Winchester, of Bridport. "Best Method
of teaching the lesson" opened by Rev.
Mcssrs. A. F. Bailey, aud S. W. Magill.
The time not used by the gentlemen who
opened, was well occupied by others, in
Guiding clergymen aud laymen. The dis
cussions were generally of a high order,
showing that there had been given to the
matters 20 be discuss d much a,t'ntiol
and study.
The evening was devoted Ia a child
ren's meeting in which the children acted
their part nobly, singing and giving an
exercise, by the smaller children, under
the direction of Mrs Partridge. Ad-
dresses were made by Rev Messrs. Ma
gill, Davies, Partridge, Prof. II. NJ. SeelY
and Messrs Langworihy, Benedict
Cowles and Barker. 1t is estimated that
there were about fifty speeches during
the day and evening. We think the PEG.
pie Of Weybridge were pleased with the
meeting, and it is certain those from
obroad were more than pleased with the
ample dinner provided in the vestry for
the large number assembled, and the gen,
erous hospitality in taking the people who
remained until evening to their homes.
The next Convention will be held at
Bristol on Wednesday March 18th.

Musical CONVENTION The Addison
County Musical Convention closed its
session in Wcyhrigc, on Friday evening,
with concert The whole convention
has been very pleasant and profitable.
The drilling by Prof. Toby has been very
thorough and the singing consequently
excellent. Numbers of the best singers
from several towns in the county have
been in attendance, aul all seemed de-
termincd to make the convention a sue
cess At the close Of the concert Rev.
l.. G. Partridge, by request Of the Pres
dent, presented the following resolutions
Resoig1, That music, rs u branch of cjuca-
ton, should be taught a perfectly and as extern
sively as the languages, mathematics or political
economy.
Resoirei. That the churches should feel it II
duty to provide means for training the youth of
their congregations in the art Of music, especially
vocal music and that the youth in return should
esteem it privilege to furnish the churches with
| good music.
Resoived That the thanks OF thi. convention
are due, and are herewith cordially rendered to
Prof. Toby for the kind and able manner in which
he has conducted this convention also to Mr..
Davis of Burlington, and Miss Jewett of Wcy
bridge for their valuable Instrumental services.
to Mr Williamson, for the use of his piano; and
the officers of the church for the excellent accom-
inodations which they have afforded us.
AS music enters so largely and so uni
vcrsally into the enioyments Of life, into
private aud public religious worship; and
as it possesses such quick and efficient in
Auence in moulding human character, the
wonder is that more and better attention
is hot paid to it. Let us hope that the
time is not far distant when this import
ant and pleasing branch of education
shall receive its full share OF interest and
support
