From the report Of the president of the
association for the past year, the following
is extracted;
The association was organized in 1865,
During the nine years it has received up
ward of $15, 900 from all sources, and paid
out upwards of So, 900 for lectures. Eleven
hundred dollars have been sunk on lectures.
During only three seasons (1SG0-T0; 1870
II, and 1S72-73) bave the receipts from
lectures equalled the expenses from them.
The largest sum was received at Anna
Dickinson's lecture in 1901, but more
money was made out of Olive Logan's lee
ture. Anna Dickinson charged $3.50, and
Olive Logan $15. One hundred and sixty
six dollars was taken at Olives lecture.
The largest amounts were lost on the
lectures of Charles Sumner and Henry
Ward Beecher. They were paid $500
each, but drew comparatively small audi
ences. During the nine years the library
has been increased from 800 to 3.400 vol
umcs There are few libraries in Vermont
that have so choice selection of standard
books. There has been loss on all the
lectures this season, except DuChaillu' S
and that of Prof Morse, of Salem, Mass.
AT Bret Harris lecture only $40 was taken
at the door. 1888 worth of season tickets
were sold this season, and for the five lee
| lures already delivered 1926 has been taken

PASSING NOTES.

Time is the fortune-teller Of all hu
man events, and how true the wordi
of inspiration, There is nothing hiC
that shall not be revealed"
The murder of I. J. Caverhill, al
Rutherford Station, on the night Of
the 18th inst, has been the topic o.
conversation since the attrocious crime
was committed in consequence o.
the mystery surrounding it. Mean
while the friends of humanity and
justice were constituted, sab rosa, a
committee to investigate the signs OF
the times in order 10 get a clue, if pos
sible, to the perpetrators of the dark
deed. The body was exhumed yes
terday by order of the coroner and an
inquest held, as the course adopted by
the magistrate acting at the time of It's
interment was regarded as rather pre-
mature. It seems that facts, startling
facts, were deposed before the coro-
ner's jury yesterday, and the whole
country awaits with disgust and in the
midst Of tremendous excitement the
course adopted by an investigating
court to. be held this morning. SUI
fee it to say, for the time being at
least, that Mrs. Caverhill and a MIR.
Carley (brother-in-law Of the murder
ed NAM are now under arrest, and

says that the murder was the result
Of deeply laid, premeditated plans,
