as the speaker, ia his earnest manner, calls Of
one Of those old fashioned athletic dances, some
Of the listeners Thought he manifested great IA
miliarty with the subject for lifelong deacon"
You've got me there. surrender Nevertheless
being unwilling to forfeit any portion Of the good

Coon ArroINTMENT.- 1t has a novel sound to
read the name Of JAMES T. THURsroN as Presi-
ident Of the old vermont Mutual, instead Of
the Hon DANIEL BALDWIN. For more than
third Of a century, If we mistake not, Judge Bald
win has occupied that honorable position, and no
small proportion Of the companys success has
been the result Of his intelligent and untiring de
yotion to is interests. And now that his adj
yanced age has seemed to unfit him to some eX-
tent for the laboriOus and sometimes difficult
duties Of the position, We know of no wortlicr
shoulders upon which his mantle could fall, than
those of MIR Thurston, For more than twenty
five years he has stood next to the honored Presi-
dent in the line Of responsibility, and has been
largely instrumental in constructing the thorough
system by which their business is at present con-
Quoted And so, when change seemed de
mandod II was both natural and fitting that the
lot should fall where the responsibility had grad
ually, but surely been transferring itself. Thor
oughly familiar with the duties of the position,
possessing business qualities of the highest order,
and enjoying the confidence of alive eongmtu-
late the honored ex-Prcsident upon having so good
a successor, the company on being so well pro-
vidod for, and the new President upon recogni-
ton so well-merted.
