DEDICATION DAY.

10 the day has had Ia dawning,
Day for which our hearts had waited
Waited, praying to the Father,
That our souls might thus be gladdened
By behOlding near aud present,
This the day Of dedication.
Long we toiled for this one object
TO erect a house Of worship
Fitted for the true indwelllng
OF the Holy Spirits presence
Many sacrifices made We,
That this temple mis- ht be buibied,
Conseorated 70 the Father,
And our hesrts were glad and willing
Thus 10 sacrifice and labor
In the service Of the Master.
Bright the day was In lts dawning.
Sunshine filled the earth with glsdness.
Aud Tor this our hearts were grateful
For the sunlight seemed a token
From the great and good All-Pather,
That he smiled upon our effort,
And would surely grant US blessings.
80 he ever smiles upon US
When we effort make 10 serve him)
Clear and cold the air about u.s.
Bright and blue the sky above Us,
A we, at the hour appointed,
Turned Us towards the celebration
OF the temples dedication.
Many people there had gathered,
showing they we're interested
In this act Of defeating
oar new temple 10 Jehovah.
As we stepped across the threshold
90 this neW-erected temple,
Saw we up above the pulpit,
Written la attractive letters,
This "llgAR, FOR TAG LORD HArH Spoken. -
Thus this earnest eXhortation
Meets The eyes Of all the people,
Teaching them 10 listen ever
To the words VI our Great Teacher.
Now an earnest prayer was offered,
Asking guidance from the Fsther
Through the day and It's devotiOns;
And an anthem then resounded
Through the house from singers voices,
To the Fathers throne ascending.
Then the preacher rose before US,
lie, the man Of God appointed,
And with earnest tone and spirit
spAke unto US Of the Saviour,
OF the great and gracious Saviour
Preached him crucihed unto US
Pointed out our paths Of duty,
Paths which always are the sAfest)
And revealed to US Saviour
Ever liVing-eyer present
Ever watching DER his childen.
Then TO God he dedicated
All our temple, and declared Il
COnsecrated TO His service
And our hearts responded gladly,
As he offered 10 the Father
This, the temple we had builded.
And we prayed that lie might make 1t
Ever His own sacred dwelling,
Whore frem time to time his children
should with him hold sweet communion.
10 the day has had It's dawning,-
10 the day has had its closing;
And our hearts are surely grateful
For this temple We have builded,
For this day OF dedication.
Now we pray thee, Holy Father,
That our temple may be frightened
BY the sunlight OF thy kingdom
And that we may he more fitted
for thine upper sacred temple.

To The Editors Of The Hatchman
GES1LmEN.-Your thoughtful correspond
ent L " will be glad to learn that Bishop
Simpson, after stating that no great people
or government had ever existed north Of the
ftieth parallel Of north latitude did except
Britain and northern Russia. Those who can
testify to this, felt surprised at the moment
that Prussia was not included in the exception.
Scandinavia was put aside, as its influence up
on the worlds literature and life is scarcely
appreciable. The wholesome canon of criti-
cism, " TO regard the authors end here ap-
peared Of great value. In rapid survey Of
history where great powers Of generalization
and grouping are called into exercise, minute
ness of detail is neither possible nor desirable.
Yet in marking the exceptions to his statement,
as given above, the lecturer showed careful
ness not TO mislead, which am sure 81"
will appreciate, while at the same time he will
understand that it is just the point that would
naturally be missed in hurried and brief syn
opsis for newspaper. Moreover, in giving
Britain and Russia as exceptions, he not only
indicated countries, but marked a boundary
In this way not TO mention Prussia may have
been compliment to our intelligence. We
change all that when we put it down to his ig.
nlrance.
hope it will be remembered that the excep-
tons do not weaken the Bishops argument
Within the belt described we have Assyria,
Babylon, Macedon, Judea, Rome, Carthage,
Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Except home
opathic glObule) and Southern Germany. In
short all the great nations Of antiquity and al
most all of modern times. Dwelling within
the same boundaries, the American people may
well rejoice over their advantages and indulge
in the thought that they are also " the heir oil
all the ages"
cannot think that the Bishop meant is
othermal lines" when he said 4" parallels oil
latitude" Offered in the most friendly man
ner by "L.," such an explanation has the ap-
pearance of an after thought which 30 fre-
quently leads to excuses for our mistakes. -
Bupas have shown that the Bishop did moi
blunder no defence is necessary, but a truthful
reporting of his words.

IN Explanation.

MONTPELIER, W., FEB. 4, 1873
Messrs. Editors II am informed that q
false impression has gone abroad,in regard to
my remarks at the temperance meeting, Sunday
eve, which does great injustice to Mr.. j. w.
Ellis. Now wish to say that my random re-
marks which mentioned Mr.. Ellis name were
not intended particularly for that firm, but for
general application to the business men Of
Montpelier, only singing out one for m illustra-
ton.
Furthermore, never had any conversation
with Mr.. Ellis upon the subject Of Temper
ance. Please give this an insertion in justit G
to all concerned and oblge,

The Messenger in speaking Of Col. Veozey's
paper, at the Camp Fire" Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, at their recent annual en-
campment in ST, Adams, says " Col. Yea
sey's paper related 10 an entirely new light the
historic incident of 1.-The Sleeping Sentinel, -
VIM Scott, Co. X. Sd Vt. Vols, who, as all
remember, was sentenced TO be shot, pardoned
al the last moment, and afterwards killed 10
battle at Lees mills. Col Veazey was an Off
Ger of the 81 Vermont, and member Of the
court martial which tried him, aud was there
fore in Il situation to know the facts. With
the most graceful delicacy he brushed away
the web OF fancy woven by the poet Janyier
around the incident, and while he would not
say that President Lincoln did not drive in hot
haste 10 the scene of execution, he said that he
though present, did not SEQ anything Of the
kind, and on the contrary told how the whole
plan of the impending execution but secretly
designed pardon was made and executed by
. Vermont's greatest soldier Gen. YIN. y
(Bsldy) Smith. The paper was admirably
prepared, and was listened 10 with the most
rapt attention,

Nlw HAn4-Wc are glad to be able to an
nounce that one Of the great wants Of this vii
lage is 10 be speedily supplied, in the erection
Of a new and commodous hall
The necessity for such ball has been felt
for years, aud various attempts have been made
to secure the building Of one, but 70 far they
have proved unayailing.
Mr.. james r. Lnnrdon las determined t.
erect the coming season, on his lot on tue cor
ner Of State md Elm streets, such hall a-
will fully meet the requirement. Of this vii
lage The plans are NOT as yet fully matured'
but enough 80 to state that the hall will be
about City by one hundred feet, and from TWEEN
ty-six to thirty feet in height, with suitable
galleries etc. It is to be ON the ground floor,
80 as 10 be easily accessible, and is to be fur
nishcd and fitted up in first rate style. The
corner Of the lot is to be fitted up for new
post-ofice, which il is safe to say will be much
better adapted to the wants Of the Office, and
the accommodation Of the public, than the
present inconyeniout and illy arranged office.
In view OF the probable failure Of our new
hotel scheme this evidence Of enterprise is
particularly refreshing, and we congratulate
our people on theprospect Of H. early consum-
nation.

GREAT Loss,--By the death of Hon. Il. W,
Bartholomew the people of Orange county have
met with a serious loss. Mr.. Bartholomew
was for many years citizen of Washington,
which place he frequently represented in our
State Legislature. lie was also State Senator
from that county in 1859. OF late years he
had spent much Of his time in Chelsea, in per-
formsuee of his duties as President of the
Orange County National Bank, which has re-
Gently voted to close up its business, contem-
plating a removal To Barre.
Mr., Bartholomew was very widely and favor
ably known to the people Of the State, as an &C
tive, enterprising, and sagaclous business man,
aHd man Of excellent good sense and Judg
ment lie was never married.

CoRREcTIoN.-We have been credibly in
formed that the writer of the article which APP
peared in our issue Of December llth from
Bradford, stating that man was found abus-
ing his wife under the influence of liquor, was
mistaken in saying that I" it was found that
he procured his liquor Of j shua Gerry, who
was being put through for it." But the testi-
mony before the justice was that he procured
something from another party, that caused his
intoxication.
In justice to Mr.. Gerry we cheerfully make
the correction as publicly MS the first state
ment.

part In the interesting services. Mr.. Glszier

manners, well calculated to be useful and popu-
