MEETING AT NoRTm HERC

The meeting of the State Board of Agri-
culture for Grand Isle County, was held at
the Court House, North Hero, on Wcdnes-
day and Thursday, Oct. LIST and I'd. In
the absence of the Secretary of the Board,
who is now in Europe, DIR. Hoskins of the
Vermont Farmer, endoavorcd to make
arrangements for this meeting, and there
upon engaged two gentlemen of South
Horo to advertise the time and attend to
other necessary details, but they failed to
perform their duty, and the result was that
not one in twenty of the farmers of the
county knew that any meeting was to be
held. The attendance on the first day was
not much over a dozen persons all told {;
and on the second day did not exceed
twenty.
OF the State Board there were present
Gov Converse and Hon A B Halbert of
Essex. The brief sessions were almost
wholly occupied in discussions on fruit
growing, and many interesting facts were
brought out. Among the gentlemen pres
ent who are especially interested in the
subject of fruit growing, were Mr. Pringle
of Charlotte. DR. Hoskins of Newport, Mr.
White of Shelburn, o G Wait of Georgia.
Err Towle of Franklin, Messrs Benjamin
Macomber. III l. Hurlbut, ID G Sampson,
8 p Gordon, Il Hodgkins and + II Girls
void of Grand Isle, and Messrs Hubbard,
G b Russell, A X Hibbard O p Knight.
Judge Allen and others of North Hero. AL
burgh Isle La Motto and South Hero
seemed to be wholly unrepresented. Many
of the gentlemen named took prominent
part in the discussions. Messrs. Macom-
Der, Hurlbut and Sampson of Grand Isle,
contributed to display of choice varieties
OF apples. pears and grapes, and some time
was pleasantly spent in examining and
testing the different kinds. Although the
meeting was failure as regards attendance
it was success in other respects, and it is
probable that another will be held some
time during the coming winter
In the course Of the discussion on the
last day, Mr.. White, of Shelburn, took oc-
casion to denounce the sole of crab stocks,
saying that they were great humbug, and
that thousands of these trees had been sold
to farmers for double the price of good ap-
pie stocks, and that the former were com
paratively, if not entirely, worthless. All
present concurred in this view, and were
united in the opinion that something should
be done at once to save the farmers from
being further victmized by the "crab apple
humbug." Mr.. Hurlbut's method of grow
ing apple trees was also discussed, and
some difference of opinion was developed
in respect to his modes of grating and
pruning.
DIR. Hoskins advised the formation of a
farmers club, but we did not learn that
any steps were taken to that end.
MIR. w. Ill. McAllister of Enosburgh, was
present in the interests of the Patrons of
Husbandry and it is quite possible that
every town in the county will have its
Grange ct no distant day. The sentiment
of the people is very favorable to such CO.
operation; and farmers seem thoroughly
alive to their interests in this connection.

GLOBE THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 1878

only to ask those glorious fellows with
whom he had only rioted, and they would
help him. All but glorious fellows
couldn't he found. They had found other
friends. There is many and many young
man in New York who has practically IL
lustrated this point So long as their pocket
books hold out they are blessed with friends
and when that gives out they are damned.
The Prodigal Son went into saloon to
begin with, and into a pig-pen to end
with. Yet in becoming q swineherd he
showed that he had good stuff in him.
When he got down to the very bottom
there was rebound. Too many would
have remained with the swine. There are
thousands of bad men who like him have
good aspirations and honorable instincts.
They are longing to ascend by the path
that has led them down TO ruin. Every
man has an equator. All below that line
is animal, and all above 1t Is himself. Many
man lives entirely in his lower nature un-
til through wild indulgence of it the door
is opened to that which is above. Trouble
brought the Prodigal Son to himself. He
was alone, uncared for, and starving He
had time among his grunting charge to
thank him and to repent. He didn't say,
'I'll go to my father and state the circum-
stances. He called it sin. He attempted
no excuse or palliation. The man whose
soul evinces higher aspirations is partly re-
formed already. He knew how to go down
and how to go up. Now people see a long
way with telescopes, but take it that no
eyes can see so far as those of a father
looking for a lost son. The son returned
with a good orthodox confession, and found
himself embraced and forgiven. Our Fa-
ther in Heaven art thou meancr than the
fathers of earth
THE PRODIGAL SONS BROTHER.
There was another son. He heard the
singing and the dancing, and he was angry,
and wouldn't go in. His father came out
and entreated him. Now, | had rather
have been the Prodigal Son than his broth
or. He was too stingy to get drunk. He
was too cautious, too cold, too unsympa-
thetic to sin laciviously He was lean,
mean, stiff and proper. He was going to
Heaven like a mummy" With his arms
held close, to his sides, and with stiff,
contracted gait, Mr.. Bcecher walked across
the platform to show how the Prodigal
Sons brother was going to Heaven like a
mummy. The congregation laughed up
roariously. "Hc wouldn't come in. but
stad ont and grumblcd His father had
killed no fattcd calf for him, though he
had been as regular as clock all his life.
| The return of his brother fell on him like
dew on "A stone. Yet he ratified through his
prayers every day, and thought he was
keeping his accounts all regular up there. '

TIE SECRET CONSULTATION.

AT the extra session of the United States
Senate, convened on the fourth Of March,
the committee on privileges and elections"
were directed to inquire into the defects of
the present system of electing the Prcs-
dent and Vice President of the United
States, and to report, at the next session of
Congress, proposal of amendment to the
national constitution on this subject. The
moving cause which led to this instruction
was, doubtless, the fact that At the last
presidential election. there were two sets
of electors, each armed with credentials.
each claiming to have been elected .'elec-
tors Of President and Vice President of the
United States, by the people of the state
OF Louisiana. and each demanding the
right of casting the vote of that state. Ar
kansas was, also, in the same situation.
Fortunately, it happened, that the votes of
either Of these states-or half dozen more
for that matter would have made no diff
ference, as the result would have been the
same whether the votes were rejected or
whatever way they might have been coun-
ted. 1t was not considered safe, however,
to rely any longer upon any such future
providential happening, The country had
passed through twenty-five presidential
elections, to be sure, and case Of contest
had never occurred before, and might, pos
sibly, never occur again. But the calcula-
ton of probabilities, or the doctrine of
chances, was felt to be unsafe and unstable
ground upon which to rest. The mind of
the whole country almost instinctiyely re-
vcrtcd to the perilous winter of 1SGO.G1,
when a contested election in two states
would have precipitated a revolution, in
stead of rebellion, and would, in all hu-
man probability, have made secession re-
Atty and accomplished the permanent dis
memberment of the Union. SO again at
the election of 1864, when George b. Nc
Clellan was striving for the presidency, on
platform which declared for "peace at
any price, and which meant cessation of
the warby yielding to the demands of rebels
in arms, contest would have proved
fatal to national unity. The mere matter
of contested election was not of 80 much
consequence, because they wore occurring

cessty, then, of thoroughly cleansing out
our chimneys at this season of the year.
Remove the accumulations at the base and
scrape off the layers on the sides with a
brush. No chimney should go longer than
two years without cleaning.

a New Version OF an old ParabIe-.
Henry Ward Beccher ON the
PrOdigal SON.

From Henry Ward Beecher's last Sun
days sermon, we take the following
In the evening Mr., Beecher talked,
rather than preached, about the parable of
the Prodigal Son. "rhe first downward
step" he said, twas the desire to be his
own master. Let those who want to, be
tied TO their mothers apron strings was
his resolve, but know a thing or So 1t
was not the liberty of the larger and better
sort that he wanted, but kind of liberty
that is license. This young man went
where the dance was widest and where riot
went most unbridled. He denied himself
nothing, and his passions became his coun-
sellers. When he had spent all, and it
doesn't take long to do that under such cir
cunstances, he came to want, But he had

A STATIC CHOLERA IN CHINA.

ALMOST EVERY. CASE CURED WITH
PAINKILLER!
DEAR SIRs: During q residence of some ten
years In Siam and China, as a missionary,
found your Pain-Killer most valuable remedy
for that fearful scourge the Cholera.
In administering the medicine l found 1t most
enectual to give tea-spoonful OF Pain-killer
In gill OF hot water sweetened with sugar;
then, after about fifteen minutes, begin to give
about a tablespoonful OF the same mixture
every few minutes until relief was obtained.
Apply hot applications TO the extremities
Bathe the stomach with the Pain.Killer, clear,
and rub the limbs briskly. or those who had
the Cholera and took the medicine faithfully.
In the way stated above, eight out OF ten re-
covered.
REV. II. TELFoRD: Missionary in China.
DEAR SIRs: During long residence IN China
have used your valuable Pain Killer, both In
my own family and among the Chinese, and
have found 1t most excellent medicine In the
Summers OF 1862 and 1868, while residing In
Shanghai, found 1t an almost certain cure for
cholera, II used in time. Indeed, using 1t In
great many instances, do not remember fall
ing In a single case. For three years have
been residing In this place, more than nifty
miles from physician, and have been obliged
sickness. The Chinese come TO us in great
numbers for medicine and advice. Though
without medical knowledge ourselves, for few
simple remedies we can command are so much
In advance even OF their physicians, that we
have almost daily applications. We allow them
TO cyme, because It brings us in contact with
them and opens door OF usefulness. In dar-
rhea, collie, vomiting, cholera, coughs, etc,
your Pain-Killer has been my chief medicine.
Yours very truly,
REV. 4. p. CRAWFORD,
Tungchow, China.
Those using Pain-Killer should strictly OBJ
serve the following directions:
AT the commencement OF the disease, take
teaspoonful OF Pain-Killer, in sugar and water,
and then battle freely across tina stomach and
bowels with the Pain-Killer clear. Should the
diarrhea and cramp continue, repeat the dose
every fifteen minutes In this way the dread
full scOurge may be checked and the patient re-
lieved in the course OF II few hours.
NJ B.-Be sure and get the genuine article;
and II is recommend ID by those who have used
the Pain Killer for the cholera, that in extreme
cases the patient take two Tor mOre) teaspoon
Suls instead ef one.
The PAIN-KILLER Is sold by all the Drug

WEDNESDAY, OCT. SRI.

The convention assembled in the Con-
gregational church, the weather having
cleared up finely. The pulpit and sur
roundngs had been tastefully decorated
with choice flowers by the ladies of Ches-
ter. President Fairbanks called the con-
ycntion to order at 8 a. IN.
Frank Walker, Esq, of Windsor, and
Mr.. Mayhem, of North Hero, were ap-
pointed Recording Secretaries pro tenn,
those officers being absent
The president then read several passages
OF Scripture appropriate to the occasion,
and addressed the convention in an earnest
and forcible manner. He said that the
grandeur of our Sunday School work in
the nation is beyond our comprehension
Think of 100000 of pupils and teachers
studying Gods Word on each Lords Day,
studying the same passage in prayer and
faith with the best talent and picty in the
nation turned weekly upon it to explain
and illustrate it, The barriers which
separate christians into sects are in this
the canopy of Gods blessing; consider the
mighty power which is welded against the
forces of Satan. Such view of the work
must inspire us at this time with courage
and quicken us to new zeal and stronger
resolutions. He then dwelt upon the best
methods of sustaining Sabbath School by
attention to multitude of little things.
The youth of this age are subjected to
great peculiar temptations. Z" Young
Americanism" is the popular cry, which
means chasing the butterfly of amusement,
fashion and wealth or ruin. Goodness is
in the background The Sunday school is
ordained to be grand breakwater against
the special vices of our times. The motto
OF the last class at Mt. IIolyoke was a
mallet and chisel crossed with the words,
"the marble waiteth." Christian men and
women are the worlds best riches. Who
eyer gives these to the world cnriches II
most. The Sabbath school is the right arm
| of the church and lays the corner stone.
Let pastors see to it that the fire upon this
altar is kept burning,
After the address Mr.. Bliss led in sing
ing;
"Come thou fount OF every blessing,
Tune my heart TO sing thy praise" etc.
Passages of scripture were then repeated
from memory by many different members
of the convention.
The executive committee then announced

Workers in Vermont, convened at Chester
on Tuesday evening, October7, 1878. This
Is the fifth annual meeting of this associa-
ton. The first three sessions were held In
connection with the Young Mems Christian

expedicnt TO hold Independent meetings of
each organization, and the Sabbath School
Association held very interesting session
at Swanton, and elected the following
named officers for the year ending October,
