The excitement in Milton over the recent
case of body-snatching is quite intense and
quite natural, though perhaps not all of it
is well directed. OF course every intelli-
gent person knows that practical surgery
and scientific knowledge of the human
frame, cannot be taught without dissections
of the human body. There is net a medical
college in the country that thinks Of getting
along without them. and of course the med
ical department of our University is no ex-
ceptiOn to that rule. Our medical college.
however, has never encouraged body
snatching. Its authorities expect the
students to supply themselves with the
subjects for dissection, from New York,
where there are persons who make it n
business of supplying bodies of criminals
and waits from the hospitals, for that pur-
pose. In this case, as we are informed,
young Packard was without accomplices
He stole the body from the grave alone,
brought it to Burlington by himself, and
sold it Ito get means to help himself on in
his studies) to some of lis fellow-students,
who, as we are informei purchased it, sup
posing it to have come from New York, in
the usual way. In such case none of the
odium of the crime of body-stealing should
attach to the medical college or to its
students as 4 class.
Mrs. Sarah \. Converse, who departed
this life yesterday, was one Of the most
amiable. lady-like and cultivated women in
this community. She was a native of Mil
ton, anG the eldest daughter of the Hon.
IIeman Allen, of this city, member of Con-
greSs from this district from 1892 to 1911.
She was united in marriage with her hus-
band, the Rev. John X. Converse. soon
after his becoming pastor of the White
street Congregational church. The fruit of
their happy union has been large family
of sons and daughters, all of whom survive |
their mother. The daughters are among
the most accomplished and respected young |
ladies We have among Us. OF her sons,
John H., of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, |
resides in Philadelphia; Charles \. holds !
responsibility position on the Vermont Central
railroad, at st. Adams; and Frank X. is
the senior member Of the firm of Converse

was religious woman indeed, and an
original member Of the College street Con-
gregational church. She had long been an
invalid, bat as she had recovered much other
strength during the fall months, it was
hoped that she might survive for years. IN
attack Of bilious fever carried her off 50
Shewas an excellent mother,
and much loved and esteemed by her family
and intimate friends. OF her brothers,
three survive her Prof George Allen, of
the University of Pennsylvania Charles p.
Allen. of Port Kent, and James Il. Allen,
Of Chicago. Joseph W. Allen, another
brother, died at Richmond, several years
since In common with all our citizens,
We deeply sympathize with Mr.. Converse
and his afflicted family in this their hour Of
bereavement.

ORDER OF EXERCISES.


The appearance, for the first time in the
history of the University, of the names of
young women, in the schedule of public
exhibition, will of course attract notice. Of
the two in the programme above, one was
excused by reason of necessary absence from
town. The, other took her place upon the
stage with modest self possession, and read
from her manuscript an essay which was
more like Senior than Sophomore piece,
acquitting herself so creditably that the
question, if there was any, of the propriety
ofthe young women taking their share in
the College Exhibitions, must have been
set at rest in the minds of all present The
young gentlemen did exceedingly we'll
There were several quite thoughtful and
studious discussions. Others were viva
cious and spirited. Almost all were interest
ing and showed careful preparation. Not
one Of the speakers was once prompted, and
all appeared 50 well that we refrain from
the somewhat inyidious task of selecting
any names for particular mention. The
music was furnished by Prof. IIolmberg
and Mr.. Moore, and was pleasing and ac-

UNWILLING OF TIE STATUE OF ETHAN ALLEN

Our readers are aware that a marbl,
statue Of Ethan Allen, which is to surmoun
the tall granite column over the grave of the
revolutionary hero, in Green Mount Gene
terry, has been approaching completion, IN
Italy, du ring the past year. 1t has been
thought proper to mark its elevation to ITS
place, by formal Inauguration, presenta-
ton. and unwilling of the Statue. Cover
nor Converse, on consultation, approved
the proposal that the occasion should par
take of the Character Of a State celebration,
and designated committee Of citizens Of
Burlington TO take charge of and make ar
rangcments for the same. The committee
is composed a. follows

quest. He. however, gives to the commit
tee. the aid of his valuable counsel~.
The committee have held several sessions,
and though the programme Of the day has
not been fully made out, We are able to say
that among the main features of the occa-
sion will be a large gathering Of State Off

imposing military display, a great process

ton by speaker Of national reputation,
probably Hon. L. f.. Chittenden, of New
York. an uuyciling of the ~tatue-the first
proceeding of its kind, We believe, in our
State: and it's formal presentation TO the
State by the Commissioners with suitable
music. and other exercises to be announced
thereafter. The coming FoTih Of July has
been selected as the day for the celebration;
and We think it Will call together one of the
greatest gatherings of Nermonters that has
been known in many day Aside from
the intrinsic interest of the occasion, the |
