PoULTNEY.
Mrs VIM II. Poor who has been seri-
ously Ill, is improving.
The week of prayer was observed in
Poultney. The meeting on Saturday eve
ming was at the Baptist church. The clos
ing union meeting was at the Methodist
church
The present term Of the Troy Conference
academy, which commenced on Wednesday
last under the administration of the pre-
sent efficient and accomplished principal,
Nj. +. Cady, promises larger attendance
than. the fall term.
St. Johns parish school opened last Mon
day week with seven or eight more schol-
ars than on the first day of former
terms. This must bevery encour-
aging for its able principal, Rev.
Mr.. Randall who deserves well the
liberal patronage bestowed upon him. Too
much cannot be said in favor of the school
under his management, and we can COM
mend it with confidence to those who wish
their children educated in the way they
should go So says the Journal.
In the race on January 1st at Whitehall
the famous horse Highland Grey, owned
by Kelly and Ford of this town, was beat
en- by Joe Brown. Brown took the first
prize and Highland Grey the second
Highland Grey has won at all races all
over the country for year, but finally
came off second best at Whitehall. We
hear it reported that foul play was used to
defeat the Grey. We know but little of
the trotting capacity of Highland Grey,
but we do know that he Is fine built and
fine moving horse as there is in the coun-
try.
About forty couples attended the New
lorks festival at the Lake ST. Catherine
house.
Mrs. Russell Lamb. J. p. Grover and
Philetus Farrar are seriously i'll Of typhoid
fever.
Levi Lewis is the champion rat catcher.
He recently caught in an ordinary steel trap
of small size, four rats at once, all the trap
could hold else he would have caught more
as several others were left playing around
the trap This seems a large number Tor
one haul, but is vouched for by several per-
sons who saw them as caught. 1t is need
less to add that the rats were pretty thick
around there, thicker than they will be at
ter Levi sets his trap few more times.
WEST PAwLET-sPIRITUAL MANIFESTO
TIONs.
Our little village of Alglers,
Is now the seat OF war,
The church Is on the war-path,
None know what 1t is for
1t seems to us, poor sinners,
That the d. Is within
The hearts OF all the members,
Who are lighting so like sin.
The thing has long been brewing,
1t commenced q year ago.
And who Is right, and who Is wrong,
am sure do not know.
| 1t first began with skirmishes,
That hot and hotter grew,
TIL at last, their good minister
| Was drawn into the stew.
The fate OF war attended him.
| And he went out one Sabbath morn,
To find his carriage cut In pieces,
And his horse. OF beauty shorn,
| The poor man stood confounded,
| He was sorry enough, ween,
| That ever on his sober visage,
| The war paint had been seen.
| His horse so sleek and beautiful,
Now looked just like q fright,
His carriage, TOO, was spoiled
III this unhallowed fight.
He had always been man OF peace,
And lived blameess life,
What evil spirit prompted him
To join this unh0ly strife =?
| One stormy night the church itself
Was found 10 be on fire
Now that is u kind OF warfare
| That the people don't admire.
SO one and all aroused themselves,
And saved the church from such fate.
And had they caught the daring villain,
|
We know not when this war will end,
| Still the hostile members fight;
so let them fight, II night they must,
And may God defend the right.
