CAsTLEToN SEMINARY AND STATE NoR-
NAL ScHooL.-The next term Of this in
stitution commences on September 4th,
as will be seen by an advertisement in
another column. We are pleased to learn
that Rev. +. 6. Williams has decided TO
remain at the head of the school. Mr..
Williams has had several tempting offers
to leave Vermont.
Col. Aldace r. Walker now of New
York City, will remove to Rutland. and
open an Office for the practice of his
profession - law about the first of
August. Col. Walker is already well
and favorably known to many citizens
of Vermont, having graduated with
honor at Middlebury college, leaving
the commencement stage for the field
OF battle, serving with the eleventh
Vermont during the rebellion and pub
fishing a most entertainingan valuable
monograph of their services in the
Shenandoah valley. After his return
from the army, lie studied law, was adj
mitted to the bar, and has practiced his
profession in New York, obtaining n
good standing at the bar.
DEATH OF AN AGED WANDERER.-We
learn from the Burlington Free Press
that John Berry died at the City Poor
Farm in that city, Tuesday, aged so
years. He was a native of Columbia
county New York, and lived here fifty
years ago, when he sailed with Gideon
King. who then owned about all the ship
ping on Lake Champlain. He aftcrward
served in the "Patriot War" Of 1887,
was taken prisoner, tried for his life, and
finally banished to Van Dieman's Land.
After remaining there seventeen years he
was pardoned and returned to the United
States, where he has since led a wander
ing life. He came here about fortnight
ago, sick, destitute and lame, when he
was taken charge Of by Overseer Lowry.
He claims to have son residing in Chi.
cago and married daughter in Rutland.
TIE SOLDIERS MEETING. - We are
glad to sec that the press and people Of
the State are so enthusiast, over the
grand reunion Of Vermont soldiers, to be
held here August 9th, 18th and Sth. A
reunion Of this character, including both
officers and soldiers, has never been held
in Vermont therefore, let every town
and county in the State work hard and
send its full quota TO the Grand Encamp.
ment Let not any trivial affair prevent
the attendance OF every soldier in the
State. The time is well chosen, and
everything portends an immense gather
ing at the appointed time. Prominent
soldiers and officers from other States
will be here to participate in the exercis-
es and add to the interest ofthc occasion.
1t is almost unnecessary here % say that
the "reminiscences, and old well-remem.
bered war scenes and incidents. that this
reunion will bring up, will afford meal
culable pleasure to the old veterans and
"soldicr boys" gathered once again
around the camp fire Herald.

a SHOCKING PIECE OF BRUTALITY.-In
our rambles about town, Yesterday, we
came across story, which if true in its
facts, wildly illustrates to what an extent
evil may be wrought by want of heart and
thought. The story runs as follows ::
One day about month ago, brakeman
on the Reading railroad, who had permit.
ted his thoughts to dwell upon an acct
dent by which man lost his life, until
his mind had become affected, came to
Quakake. Here he fell into the clutches
OF some train hands, who, perceiving his
unfortunate condition. resolved to take ad.
vantage Of it for the sake OF having some
sport. So they told him they would show
him how to get religion" and be saved
eternally The poor creature jumped at
the offer and resigned himself into the
bands Of what he supposed were his
friends. They took him and painted him,
his body and face black, and his hair
white They then placed him beside a
stove aud kept him there until tho paint
dried thoroughly They then vanished
him, leaving his face strcaked and hdeous.
lie went away and was subsequently
found between Tamanend and East Ma.
honey junction dead. This is the story as
told to us. We do not vouch io- its
truth. But we give it publicity as the
surest and shortest means of securing a
thorough investigation of the natter

SnoREnAM-On the 1st and I'd inst.
there was an examination and exhibition
OF the scholars of Newton Academy. un-
der the charge of John Avery, as Priuci
pal. The examination showed careful
study on part ofthe scholars. The class
es in Algebra and Higher Grammar
showed marked ability and success. In
taking to pieces and putting together of
sentences every one Of the class of seven,
seemed at home. Without hesitation
they grappled with sentences simple,
compound and complex. and successfully
handled them all.
The exhibition consisted in recitation
Of selected pieces and reading of both
original and selected, and from the child
of seven to the youth of seventeen there
was not a failure. One very gratifying
exercise was reading in concert by the
whole school also a mental exercise in
figures, as rapidly as words could be ut

yet it was decided success, as the Sc

mild, yet earnest, effective discipline, the
school has been marshaled as one mind !;
and both in school and class exercises
there has been beautiful order and yet a
loving regard for the teacher. To his

ADVICE TO GIRLs.-Somebody gives
the following advice to girls. 1t is worth
volumes of fiction and sentimentalism
Men who are worth having want wo-
men for wives. A bundle of gewgaws
bound with string of flats and quivers,
sprinkled with cologne and set in a car
mine saucer-this is no help for man
who expects to raise a family of boys on
veritable bread and meat. The piano
and lace frames are good in their places,
and so are ribbons, frills and tinsels but
you cannot make dinner of the former,
nor bed blanket of the latter-and aw-
ful as may seem such an idea to you,
both dinner and bed blankets are neces
sary to domestic happiness. Life has its
realities, as well as fancies, but you
make it all decorations, rememb bering the
tassels and curtains, but forgetting the
bedstead. Suppose man of good sense,
and OF course good prospects, to be look
ing for wife, what chance have you to
be chosen? You may cap him, or you
may trap him, or catch him, but how
much better to make it an object for him
to catch you. Render yourself worthy of
catching, and you will need no shrewd
mother or brother to help you find a
market.

REMARKABLE TELEGRAPHIC FEAT
Capt. j. III. Hills, Vermont telegraphic
operator, being recently on snow bound
train where severe suffering was antici-
pated, without speedy relief, cut the tel
egraphic wires, took their ends into a
car where they would be sufficiently
warmed to admit Of being readily handled
and by sticking the ends together was
enabled to "call" the operator at one of
the principal stations on the road. lie
then sent the following message: "Trou-
BILE. Answer slowly. i am working
without an instrument; | will receive
your answer through my tongue"
Captain III. received the answer by put
ting one end of the wire above and the
other under his tongue, and letting the
electric current pass through it, when he
was able TO read by the succession OF
sharp and somewhat painful electrical
shocks. His success was perfect, and he
not only sent and received messages for
the conductor, but for several of the pas
sengers. The only ill consequences of
the exploit was the total loss of taste
which Captain III. suffered for several
days afterwards.

FITTING Boy FOR MANHooD.-One
of the best ways of fitting boy for the
career of manhood and of insuring his
success in it, is to enlist his young, eager
and irrepressible activeness in something
practical. The restless energy which
bursts out into all kinds of mischeivous
pranks, if il has no other outlet, is just
what he will need in the hard work Of
of life. 1t does not want curbing, but
directing. Responsibility is an excellent
balance wheel. Give him an interest in
your business, if possible-in your farm
or store; let him have share in the labor
and profits; or if he shows decided taste
for some other employment, encourage
it. Give him every opportunity to study
agriculture, or engineering or art. Let
him feel that he is going to be man, and
is preparing for mans work and posi-
tion. Make him your friend and COM
panion. We know of no better means of
making boy manly, andof keeping him
"out of mischief" than such a course.
The history of bad boys and bad men is,
in a large majority of cases, written in
these words: "They had not the proper
training and incentive" Many are the
prison occupants of to-day can blame who
their parents for the lack of proper gov
ernment and discretion in directing the
children's minds and forming their habits.
And many child, now bright, prom
ising boy, will look out from grated
window few years hence, less victim
to his own bad heart than to his bad
bringing up. Take warning in time,
oh anxious parent, to give your boys eve
ry incentive to industry and good habits !;
even to early enlisting them as partners
in your business, whatever that may be;
and oh, boys, take warning in the sad,
solemn histories of those youths who have
perished before by sad associations and
indifference to the future.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-04-19

LEARNING TO SPEAK.-Why, having
once learned to speak, does the baby
leave off speaking when it becomes man
or woman? Many of our men and
women to-day need. almost as much as
when they were twenty months old,
to learn to speak. We do not mean
learning to speak in public. We do not
mean even learning to speak we'll to
pronounce words clearly and accurately;
though there is need enough Of that in
this land. But that is not the need at
which we are aiming now. We mean
something so much simpler, so much
further back, that we hardly know how
to say it in words which shall be simple
enough and also sufficiently strong. We
learn meaning to speak Mt all. In spite
of all which satirical writers have said
and say Of the loquacious egotism, the
questioning curiosity of our people, it is
true to-day that the average American is
reticent, taciturn, speechless creature,
who, for his own sake, and still more for
the sake Of all who love him, needs more
than he needs anything else under heaven
to learn to speak. Look at our silent
railway and horse cars, steamboat cabins,
hotel tables, in short all our public places
where people are thrown together Incl
dentally, and where goodwill and the
habit of speaking combined would create
an atmosphere Of human vitality, quite
unlike what we see now. But it is not of
so much consequence, after all, whether
people speak in these public places or
not. If they did, one very unpleasant
phase of our national life would be greatly
changed for the better. But it is in our
homes that this speechlessness tells most
fearfully-on the breakfast and dinner
and tea tables, at which silent father
and mother sit down in haste and gloom
to feed their depressed children. This is
especially true of men and women in the
rural districts. They are tired; they have
more work to do in year than it is easy
to do. Their lives are monotonous too
much so for the best health of either mind
or body. If they dreamed how much
this monotony could he broken and cheer
ed by the constant habit Of talking with
each other, they would grasp at the
slightest chance Of a conversation. Some
times it almost seems as ii complaints
and antagonism were better than such
stagnant quiet. But there need not be
complaint and antagonism; there is no
home so poor, SO remote from affairs, that
each day does not bring and set ready,
for family welcome and discussion, beauti-
full sights and sounds occasions for helpful
ness and gratitude, questions for decision,
hopes, fears, regrets The elements of
human life are the same forever; any one
heart holds in itself the whole, can give
all things to another, can bear all things
for another; but no giving, no bearing,
no, not even if it is the giving up of life
if it is done without free, full, loving in
terchange OF speech, 10 half the blessing
it might be.-FTOm Bits of TAX, By
II. III.

BETTER THAN GoLD.-We often hear
little boys telling the wonders they will
do when they grow to be men. They are
looking and longing for The time when
they shall be large enough TO carry a
cane and wear a tall hat but let me tell
you, little boys, what is a great deal bet
ter than money, and what you may be
earning all the time you are waiting to
grow large and earn fortune. The BIZ
BILE tells us that "a good name is rather
to be chosen than riches, and loving favor
rather than silver or gold" A good
name does not mean name for being
the richest man in town, or for owning
the largest house. A good name is a
name for doing good deeds name for
wearing pleasant face, and carrying a
cheerful heart; for always doing right
no matter what we may be.

A GOOD TEMPERANCE STORY.

A rosy daughter of Erin was busy at

with her left hand.
What, Judy, are you left-handed ?"
"Niver," she replied, "it is not left
handed l am, since there's only two
things l do with my left hand. One is to
do what you see me doing how"
"And what is the other ?"
"And the other is to whip Jenny"
"What, whip your husband! ! How is
that ?"
"An' I'll tell you how il is, phase We |;

A CURIOUS FACT.--illustratin the
necessity OF cleanliness and of keeping
the pores Of the skin open, that if coat
OF varnish or other substance impervious

the body, death will ensue in about six

on child in Florence. On occasion Of
Pope Leo the Tenth's accession to the
Papal chair, ii was desired to have liv-
ing figure represent the Golden Age, and
so child was gilded all over with var
