AFTERNOON SESSION.


slgnlhed his acceptance of the election 10
seat in this body as an honorary member,
by his attendance upon this session. and hy
expressions Of cordial sympathy with the
objects Of the organization. The members
were then entertained for over an hour by
Prof. P0llens. with an instructive address
on the Importance of more general study
Ct German and French by young men, es-
peclally by those who have not the time or
the inclination to study Latin or Greek
The address was unwritten and was de-
liyered with much earnestness and even en-
thusiasm. Three out Of FIVE who stop the
study Of Latin and Greek on leaving the
high school, do not, in the opinion of the
Professor. derive benefit propOrtiOnate 10

an easy path 10 further proficiency a. the
demands OF business might require. \
knowledge of French will do much of the
same work that Is claimed for Latin. being
a kindred tongue, and knowledge Of Ger
man would open 10 the student the Saxon
elements Of our language. To the prac-
teal student a greater advantage would be
the opening to him Of an avenue TO two Of
the richest languages -four time. Eight
out OF ten OF the books of authority in let
ters Of recent publication are German, and
before the trancO-Prussian war, four were
French But one ofthe strongest arguments i
found in the rapid increase of the German
and French speaking population in our
country, rendering 1t almost a necessity for
business men to be familiar with the one. or
the other, OF both, as their location nav
require.
The address was rich in suggestion and
instruction. 1t was not TRADE, as Is too
often the case, against classical culture but
an honest inquiry after a better way for
students whose years Of school life are lin
tied and who need to acquire practical
training suited to the demands of the times.
In the opinion of the speaker, teachers
should be the first to recognize and provide |
for these demands
The address was followed by free dis
cuSsion OF the subject. which was partci- |
pated IN BY ali present and was felt to be /
and profitable.
Il was voted that the next meeting be |
held in Burlington, on the Friday evening /
next following the annual Thanksgiving, |
and continuing through saturday. The /
thanks of the Club were most heartily voted 1

Ethan Aliens Grave.

We FIND the following paragraph in the
report of the Inauguration of the statue oil
Ethan Allen, given by the correspondent oil
the Boston Journal
About the year 1850, there was some con
troversy as to Just where Ethan Allen wa
really buried. His resting place was mark =.
by no tomb, though other members OF ms
family were buried near together IN the
Green Mount Cemetery here and monuments
had been placed over their graves. Com
petent jud ges determined that Ethan grave
must lie at or near this spot.
1t is true that at the time of the erection
of the present monument in Green Mount
Cemetery a discussion arose as TO where
Allen was buried; but never was the open
ing of a controversy more uncalled Tor.
Aliens grave had for many years been
marked by horizontal stone of white mar
bic. bearing the following inscription;

The correspondents at the Springfield
boat-races note the remarkably good order
that prevailed in the city, and aseribe it,
doubtless with entire correctness, to the fact
that the bars were closed and the sale of
liquors as far as possible prevented. The
State constable was present, with large
force of officers, and not only made short
work with the dram shops, but also at
tended to the gambling bells and houses Of
ill-fame, filling the stations with gamblers
and loose women and their customers. on

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT MoNTREAL-TwENTY
BUILDINGS DEsTRoYED.-A destructive fire
broke out at p IN. Saturday, in Larivierre' :
planning mill on ST. Antoine street, Mon
treal. Owing to the scarcity Of water the
fremen were unable to arrest the danes.
Two hours later the entire block, bounded
by St. Antoine, Bonayenture, Margaret and
Inspector streets, was one mass Of flames.
The fire continued to spread until about
twenty buildings were destroyed, among
which were Larivierre's carriage factory and
planning mil and Fits bakery. Eighteen
families are rendered homeless. Total loss
$50, 900 Larivierre's loss is $50, 600, on
which there is no insurance. Fits bakery
is partially insured The dwellings de-
stroyed are insured probably for their full
value.

The monster diamond lately received from
South Africa, outshining the koh-i-noor, Is
now on exhibition in London. 1t weighs
2sss carats, and i, therefore, considerably
larger than any other diamond hitherto
found in the South African diggings; in

other diamonds in the world which exceed
it in weight. = The Stewart" As the Afri-

The Rutland Herald, in an article on the
Prohibitory law, which has rather curiou,
tone, for a paper which has AWAY,
profered hearty support to the law, and
which Is edited by leading Good Templar,
says;
The common mode of conducting this
business i. 10 open a drinking saloon on
some principal thoroughiare, fit 1t up in
tasteful and elegant style, buy the neces-
sary goods, which are kept principally in
some other place, and add to the cost there
of profit of three to five hundred per cent.
The law officers are supposed to be vigilant /;
smaller dealers are crushed out, and Gus
toners flock to the bar and pay exorbitant
prices. feeling that they must pay for the
goods and the risk taken in the business, and
the fifty or hundred dollars per diem rapidly
increase the dealers substance. But the law
Is outraged, the authority Of the State is
brought into contempt, aud prosecutions are
commenced against the dealer. and convic-
tiOns rapidly follow in Justice Court and
he appeals in every case. SIX months roll
around and the County Court approves the
convictions and the respondent pays his FIVE
hundred or a thousand dollars for what he
calls his license in a monopoly that has net
ted him more than a ten fold gain on the
ordinary profits of trade. The officers of
justice feel that they are making progress,
and they make complaints for second con.
viction, and, as before, the dealer appeals
IN every case, and another six months of
lucrative trade interyenes; time brings
another term of the County Court, and sec
Ond convictions are perfected, and from one
to two thousand dollars more are paid TO
the State for license, and from increased
business, the net gains to the dealer are
larger than before.
But this year of unparalleled prosperity
must bring a change, for no dealer of acute
ness runs the risk of third conviction and
he sells out his business to his clerk, rela-
tive or friend, and it goes through the same
routine of trade, appeals. fines and immense
profits under another name tor another
year, and 50 it may continue indefinitely.
This may be the way the thing works in
Rutland. and in some other places. But it
can hardly be necessary to say that there is
no need that the prohibitory law be execut-
ed in that way The law makes any person
81 common seller, - which increases the pen
atty to 500 for first conviction and $500
for the second. 1t gives liquor cases pre-
cedence in the courts and forbids con-
tinuances except when the purposes of JUS
tice require them; and in general it gives
the officers of the law ample power to make
the business of retailing liquor in any such |
open manner as is described above, 20 I'M
profitable that it will not be continued |
and that without consuming years in the |
arnnn-.

At the recent trade sales Whittier's Snow
Bound brought the highest price of any of
Messrs. Osgood x Co.'S poetieal pubica-
tons, except Longfellow's Dante. Edward
Everett Hale's novels ranged with Dickens
and above George Eliot. Bret Harte was
about on line with De Quincy. Howell's
Essays sold higher than Thackeray's novels,
and Mr. Emerson's prose volumes surpassed
all others-bringing 81 30 per volume, for
instance, while Fosters Life of Landor, a
much larger volume, went for Sl.45.

oppressive, to judge from the congregations in
the various churches yesterday morning and even
Ing. The sultry sun caused piety and fashion to
perspire freely and did not increase the satisfac

brilliant than usual nor were the sermons more
interesting. The Society of Friends opened the
yearly session of their Conference in this city with
worship. very impressive in its peculiar way, and
there was gathered in their modest temple in Stuy

others from all parts of the country. The business
Of the Assembly continues during the week.
