and fishes, to merit any great considera-

called convention to put in the field a
farmers ticket, and they nominated a
list of officers, not one of whom made
any pretenses to being farmers except
the candidate for Judge of the County
Court. The small fry politicians run the
convention, and as there were none of

Bishop of this diocese staid over the Sal
bath in Rutland. On Sunday morning
he preached at Rev. Father Boylan's
church He said it was the first time
he had had the pleasure of preaching to
the Rutland congregation since the dedi-
cation of the church The church was
a credit to the Irishmen of Rutland. and
he hoped the church, built for the true
honor of God, would be well used. He
dwelt at length upon the efficacy of
prayer, and concluded his able dis
course by importing a blessing to the
congregation. .....
In the afternoon the bishop confirmed
in the church large number of chill
dren- After the exercises a procession
was formed and marched from the
church to tho Catholic cemetery, where
prayer was held for the dead.
On Monday morning the bishop cele-
brated mass for the souls of the dead of
this parish.

MDDDLERERY

Died in Bridport, On the 18th inst,
Mr.. Edgar D. Hill, aged 81 years. Thus
| have recorded the death of one of the
best earthly friends ! have. ever pos
sessed. His illness was long and pain
full. Amid all his suffcrings, he was
patient and resigned A few wears Since
he experienced religion, and was warm
and devoted in his attachments to his
Savior and his cause. In sense he was
a public man not noisy in his demon
STATIONS, but very efficient in action.
He was a son OF the late Daniel Hill of
Bridport Like his father, he was deep
w interested in the improvement of rails
ing the quality and breed of horses to a
HIGH and more complete standard of per-
fection in our county and State, Mr..
Hill was a man of warm and gcner-
Gus impulses. lie could never do too
much for his friends. His heart was
easily touched by human suffering, and
his means We're ever ready to alleviate
the sorrowing and distressed, As citi-
zen he was greatly respected and be-
loved; as a husband he was devoted /; as
father he'was ever kind and affection
ate In his intercourse with society, he
was marked by geniality of sonl,
loving the good and true. He was quick
in his perceptions, and unfatering in his
attachments. Sensible, like other men
of faults; he was just to acknowledge
them FEe coveted not the distinction
of stubborness bat was ever open to dis
tinction He was a live man, and took
deep interest in all that went to make
society better In the prime of life he
has fell.by the shaft of DEATH The busy
scenes of this life with him are past.
. Phe family circle is broken. The low
ing, devoted husband and indulgent
father sleeps with the dead the COM
munity has lost an active citizen who
was earnestly Identified with its
welfare and growth, in all that went to
make it better, for body and soul. The
three children. can never forget his fond
ness and love- The grave. hides him
from their view, bat the memory
of his many virtues and intense affection
for his family will neyer.be effaced. How
ineXpressible the grief created in the
hearts of this bereaved family! The
world seems cherries. His absence has
created a mighty void, and around the
hearth stone sadness reigns. A husband,
|. father, companion dear; sleeps the sleep
that knows no waking until the resur-
rection morn. May God temper the
winds to these shorn lambs, and grant
them the sustaining power of his heaven
lily grace and love. Divided on earth,
may the bereaved family be one IN

committed to the dust the. 18th, in the
i town where he has lived so many years.

qualities of mind. He was one of those
rare menin whom the intellect triumphs,
not only over the body but over his own
spirit. she that ruleth his spirit is bet
ter then he that taketh city" Neither
the severe and constant trial of his phys
ical infirmity nor the ordinary vexations
of life were ever enough to make our
departed friend give way to petulance,
passion or Immature.
His vigorous intellect, his imperturba-
BILE GOODNESS, and his large and kindly
heart, admirably fitted him to be wise
counsellor in his own business and for
the many friends who resorted to him.
lie was well known as generous man.
No good object, public or private, ap-
pealed to him for aid in vain. Many a
poor man will mourn his loss. Such
qualities of mind and heart commended
him to the confidence of his fellow-citi-
zens, and led them to confer upon him
during his long life many offices, the du-
ties of which were all well discharged.
lie was member of the Constitutional
Convention at Montpelier in 1886; Judge
OF Probate for the district of Randolph,
for six years, from 1888 to 1889 inclu-
sive; assistant judge of Orange county
court, 1886 State senator for Orange
county for two years, 1841 and 1912
clerk of the county court for Orange
county for six years, 1S43 to 1849 in
elusive; director of Orange County
Bank from 1742 to 1858; town repre-
sentative from Waterbury, 1851 and
1852. When our city was organized, in
1865, he was chosen, without opposition,
alderman from the center ward and held
the office by successive reflections with
out dissent till 1871, and was for the
last two years president of the board.
In politics the Judge was consistent
Democrat.
During his residence in our commun-
ity, Judge Blodgett has been a contant
attendant at public worship and liberal
giver for its support, none more so. In
1869 he deemed it his duty to make pub
lie profession of his faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, and did so by uniting with
the First Congregational church, White
street. He was greatly beloved by his
two pastors, the Rev. Messrs. Mix and
Griffin, and by all his Christian friends
who knew him intimately.
His last good work was the procuring
a pastor for the church he loved. He
labored, as chairmaa of acommittee, for
that object continuously for nearly
year, amid a variety of obstacles and
disappointments, until success, mainly
owing to his perseverance, finally crown
ed his labOrs. On the evening of Satur-
day, the 18th inst, although the fatal
disease had already taken hold of him,
he would not be prevented from attend
ing the meeting of the committee to ar
range for the approaching installation of
Rev. Mr.. Barstow, thus as it were to set
the seal to his last Christian work.
Up to the hour of his dissolution, his
vigorous mind remained unclOuded and
comforted by Christian faith and hope.

England has suffered for years from a
misinterpretation of the phrase sex
elusive banking" When the law was
passed ''banking" meant issuing notes,
and the term did not include the accept
ance of sums on deposit for which no
negotiable paper was given. In time
the taking of deposits came also to be
called Banking" and was, therefore,
supposed to be prohibited. For years
banks were thus entirely suppressed.
When finally the misconstruction was
discovered, people at once began setting
them up. Does not this show very
curiously that nation is only very
big child?
have now given a sketch of the Bank
of England, aninstitution of which much
may be said on both sides. The opinion
of enlightened economists is generally
against it, but all admit the impossibility
of its abolition. 1t certainly has done
great work in its day, aud things have
changed for the better since the time
when, as Macaulay says, sit was neces-
sary" for the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer to go, hat in hand, up and down
Cheapside and Cornhill, attended by the
Lord Mayor and by the aldermen, and
to make up a sum by borrowing a hun
dred pounds from that iron-monger. -

the marble is.

AT the convention Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, held in Worces-
ter, Mass, last week, Professor Edward
Hitchcock, of Amherst College, went
into a physiological and scientific ex-
PLANTATION Of the effect Of alcoholic and
narcotic stimulants on the human sys-
TEN, to show the necessity of total alb
slinence as the only remedy for intem-
perance. He said alcoholic drinks slim
ulate at first, but afterwards serve as a
narcotic narcotic means paralysis, or
partial death Tobacco is narcotic in
its effect from the first, and its use
should be stunned. But the greatest
injury caused by the use of rum and
tobacco is the paralysis of the moral
sensibilties, inducing moral death, or
the destruction of the soul. This is the
inevitable result Of all such indulgences
in the end. The mills of God grind
slow, but sure. The use of tobacco
leads almost inevitably to thirst for
alcoholic stimulants to excite the sys-
TEN, partially deadened by the narcotic
effects of the tobacco The two habits
are physiological twins. Tobacco par
alyzes and soothes, like opium, and soon
rum or whisky is wanted to excite and
warm up the victim to the former habit.
Professor Hitchcock said it had been as
certained that GOO out Of 700 conyicts in
the New York prisons were victims of
intemperance, and that 500 of them
learned to drink by the use of tobacco.
Tobacco is a depressor. 1t don't forti-
ly; it takes the snap out of man, and
soon something stronger is needed to ex-
cite up his energies. If we want to
build up and strengthen the system we
give man plenty of beef, eggs, milk,
etc The Professor enlarged upon the
debasing effect of these narcotic and
alcoholic indulgences on the human sys'
TEN, and especially upon the moral and
religious nature, lowering and deadening
ii, and closed by an earnest appeal tc
all Christians to use every instrumental.
ity, personal, social and religious, to re.
strain the youth of the coming genera
ton from coming into these vicious in
dulgences.

of politeness if one neglects to bow, al
though meeting half dozen times on
a promenade or in driving. Custom has
made it necessary to bow only the first
time in passing after that, exchange of
