gational church last Sabbath evening. Rev.
L. II. Stone addressed considerable audi
ence on the encouragement and discour-
agements of temperance, presenting his
arguments in his usual clear, concentrated
style, giving freshness and novelty to a
worn and trite subject. 1t is highly de-
sirable, however, that the efforts of the
temperance people take an aggressive form
and that they march under 'no compro-
mise" banner that is what we need, if the |
virtues claimed for the prohbitory law |
really exist.
An interesting account of the recent ex-
animation and installation of Rev. Walter |
ii Ayres, as pastor of the Congregational |
church in Lebanon, appears in the Granite
State Free Press. The examination, con-
Quoted by Rev. Asa ID. Smith, d. d.,
President of Dartmouth college, is reported
rs unusually satisfactory. Mr.. Ayres has
already established himself on firm foun-
dation at Lebanon, as a theologian and a
pulpit orator of wonderful power. 1t is
safe to predict, at no distant day, he will
take n well deserved position among the |
young Congregational clergymen, who have
within the last decade made such rapid
strides toward fame and place
The degree of "master of arts" conferred
on L. j. HYDE. of Hydeville, June 2Sth, by
Marietta College. is the subject of warm
cungratuation among his numerous friends
These things being generally supposed to
be entirely honorary and rejecting honor
on the college instead of the incumbent it
may not be inoppOrtunc to state that Mar
rietta College confers degrees only on such
as present evidences of deserts in the shape
of carefully prepared thesis which must
pass critical tests before the faculty. Mr..
Hyde was one Of three successful appi-
clns for the coveted credentials, six others
being rejected. The record of this young
man ihus far gives promise of future
career which shall be worthy of himself
and his sense of the responsibilities resting
upon him as an American citizen.

most blameless, exemplary lives on record.
Her personal lovencss was rare, and her
sweet, simple manner made her the
object of sincere interest in the family
circle and among her neghbOrs. So quiet

here that her existence was known to com

The arrivals at the Bomoseen House last
week were 1871. A large proportion of the
street promenaders are strangers, boarders
at the hotels. The streets are as lively as
could be desired every evening with CAV
| equipages. driving in all directions, over
flowing with lIght-hearted seekers of sum-
mer rest and country pleasures, and the
staid inhabitants find much satisfaction IN
witnessing their unobtrusive happiness and
evident enjoyment of the many attractions
this place offers. The balcony concert of
the Cambrian band last Saturday evening
was up to the usual standard, and cordial
invitation is hereby extended to metropoli-
tan Rutland to come over and listen to the
songs OF these sweet Welsh singers. 1t
will pay them richly.
