One pair of trucks on the through
freight going north, last Saturday, got

The eighth lecture of the free course
in this village was given by Rev. E. P.
Wild of Craftsbury, on Tuesday evening
and was his deservedly popular poem
Progress" The lecturer began by
modestly asserting his right among the
countless multitude to warm himself at
the Poetic Fire; noticing how progress"
in this respect had shown itself despite
the generation in which the earlier po-
cts were held. 1t was so in everything
that there were marrow souls far below
your reach" who were ready to tell
aobat used to be, but had no word of cheer
for real progress apparent aaoa0 or who
if forced to admit it in the present would
grumble and groan at the dread of COM
ing troubles. Still this fundamental
truth remained aF@ &

And onward and upward is motto, STILL
Peace, truth and love will triumph !;
for though what may seem to finite wis

lost. He only destroys to build on
better ground" These were the gen.
eral principles substantiated in all his
tory, and nowhere more emphatically
than in the records of our own country.
Settled by steady progressive men at the
first, who had acknowledged this great
truth, she had steadily advanced her
way to the foremost rank, notwithstand-
