New Hampshire people are now discus
sing the origin of the name "Kearsarge,
given to one of the mountains of that State.
The latest explanation is, that it is not an
Indian name, but was given in honor of the
first white man who lived at its base. The
name of this man was Kiah Sargent, and
the early settlers, abbreviating his name,
called the place " Kiah Sarge's Mountain. "
In proof of this it is shown that on map
published in 1884. the mountain is desig-
mated as kyar Sarga Noun"

MrnnIrRrRy .June is

SECOND DAY.
MTDDLEBURY, June Is.
After prayer it was moved that the statis-
ties furnished by Rev. G. B. Stafford, in
reference to the Catholic question, be pub
lished in the minutes of the convention
After prOtracted discussion it was carried
by majority of one.
Mr.. Stafford that there were fire thousand

State, and the question must be considered
and met in some practical and proper man
ner.

The report of the committee of the Fair

cal, and included the financial condition OF
the society.
The society had done Its accustomed work
among destitute churches. The year had
been one of marked spiritual barrenness
among the churches under the care OF the
society; the net loss by death had been hive
over the additions by profession OF faith:
There were 40 churches supplied and pa
partly supplied. The receipts for the year
were Sl4,2 23 expenditures $40, SCI do
mated to the New York Home Missionary
Association, $3.50.

"Burleigh'' writes the Boston Journal
these hints of the new testimony which will
be produced at Stokes new trial:
\ leading clergyman told me that months
before the shooting he was in conversation
with Stokes in the cars Stokes was greatly
excited, and told the clergyman that he
dared not go out nights through fear of
assassination. lie went armed, he said, and
intended to sell his life as dearly as possible.
He mentioned the character of the threats
and acted like man whose life hung on the
merest thread: The woman who picked up
the pistol IN the Grand Central whom the
defence could not find is now known, and
she will be produced ON the new trial, and

Punch declares that his eyes are longing
for the following sights
The sight of a pew-door in a convenient
position, opened for Us gratis, when We de-
sire to hear fashionable minister.
A better sight would be pew without
door, and with room enough within.
The sight of some of the half-sovereigns,
which on various sham pretexts we have
been constrained to lend to out-at-elbow ac-
quaintance>.
The sight of whole ones would be more
wholesome, we should say
The sight of an advertisement seeking for
u the next of kin of a rich Somebody or
other. whom We have never heard of, who
has left US all his property.
THE sight Of the rich Somebody's will,
leaving Us the money or better yet the sight
of his lucre, in our own possession, would
be better.
The sight Of our town butcher bill, with
steaks and legs of mutton charged at the
same price as when We began housekeeping.
\ foolish longing, this-for better to
desire butcher who never sends in his bill.
The sight of a new patent machine for
washing shirts without knocking the but
tons off.
Mr.. Punch would do better to long for
wife, if the world possesses such a woman,
who would sew his buttons on before he
discovered they were off
Clearly, Mr.. Punch is failure a.

The communication on the approach OF
cholera in another column, is from source
which entities its suggestions to careful at
tention. The reports from Memphis and
other cities leave but little doubt that the
cholera is not only becoming epidemic in
the southwest, but it is slowly spreading
norrhward and eastward. Many intelli-
gent physicians, it is true, contend that
either the disease is a severe type Of cholera
morbus, or that sporadic" (which means
scattering) cases of cholera are occurring In
the southwest as they do nearly every year.
We believe true cholera epidemic has
never been known in this country that did
not reach US by regular progress from
Asia across Europe and thence to the east
ern shore of the United States. Nevertheless
there is disease in Memphis and Nash
vile which acts like Asiatic cholera and is
fatally prevalent. Whether it is true
type of that terrible pestilence or not, its
progress and the mortality that accompanies
it are sufficiently alarming. The State board
of health of Massachusetts,, is taking pre-
cautionary measures in Boston and other
cities in that State; and the always valuable
preventIvcs of cleanliness, temperance and
moderation in eating, drinking, labor and
can do no harm anywhere.

The CAPTURE OF TIcoSDERocA.-TheL eris-
latrre of 1872 ordered the printing of Hon.
l.. +. Chittenden' historical address, deliver.
ed at Montpelier, October s. 1872. being
the same that he delivered at the special
meeting of the Vermont Historical Society
at Ilconteroga, on the 18th Of June preyi-
Gus. The result is a handsome book of I21
pages. from the press of futile x Co of
Rutland. The address proper occupies 50
pages and an appendix of 40 pages, gives
some of the more important letters and docu-
ments referred to as authority. We re-
ported the address quite fully at the time.
and need not go over it again. 1t is in the
main devoted to the disputed questions con-
cernlnS the capture and captor of Ticonder-
oga-Il disputed they can still be called.
when the points heretofore at issue are now
50 thoroughly settled. Mr.. Chittenden
makes simple mince-mcat of Da Costa
and Dawson, the traducers of Allen and
applauders of Benedict Arnold. who had
been before pretty thoroughly cut up. We
are glad topossess his paper in such per-
manent and handsome form. 1t is printed
on firm white paper, is bound in muslin.
and Is IN all respects handsome specimen
OF Typography, creditable to the printers
and the State. The New York Tribune SAYS
of it:
The Hon. Lucius f. Chittenden. whose
name will be pleasantly remembered from
ITS greenback associations, read before the
Vermont Historical Society, at their annual
meeting, last autumn, an elaborate paper
upon the Capture of Ticonderoga. 1t had
great success among the Green Noun
taIneers, and the Legislature ordered n
large edition printed for the use of all the
public institutions in the State. 1t now
appears IN a neat pamphlet, and justifes
the appreciation with which it was re-
celved in Vermont. 1t contains full and
graphic account of the famous march of
Ethan Allen and his men, and entirely dis
poses OF the absurd claim set up bv Benedict
Arnold TO the glory of the expedition. II
Is a valuable permanent addition To the
monographs of the Revolution.
