honor of the Vermont Pharmaceutical as
sociation at Odd Fellows hail, which was
magnificent affair. About 200 citizens with
ladies were invited and when the associa.
ton entered, the hall was nearly filled with
the elite of st. Johnsbury. The first hour
was occupied in listening to the most ex-
celent music from the st. Johnsbury band
of twenty pieces. At nine o'clock the
door Of the banquet hall was thrown open
and a sight, never to be forgotten, pre-
eented itself, to view. The tables fairly
groaned, they we're loaded SO with good
things provided by our st. Johnsbury
friends.
After being seated around the table, G.
ID. Randall, ESQ.,, made the welcome adj
dress, which was ably responded to by our
president elect, Mr.. M. X. Paine, after
which, quiet reigned and the way the
viands disappeared showed conclusively
that the efforts of our friends were appre-
ciated.
After satisfying the inner man, Mr.. G.
@. Bingham introduced Judge Bowman of
st. Johnsbury, who entertained the COM
pany with many pleasing remarks.
Frederick butcher, ESQ.,, of st. Adams,
being called for, he introduced the follow
ing sentiments
''St. Johnsbury-An examplar town in
industrial and educational interests its
principles as memorable as the hills that
surround it; its morals and religious pre-
cepts we may well copy"
Responded to by the Rev. Mr.. Tillotson
in an appropriate manner.
"The Medical Facully-Our professions
are inseparably connected we meet them
cordially May our friendly relations be
strengthened by these continuous ascot
atoms.
Responded TO by G. b. Bullatd, NJ. ID.
Dr. Billiard showed during his remarks
that the medical profession at this day de-
pended largely upon the apothecary, and
that it was for his interest to encourage in
every way possible, the business of the
same.
" ST. Johnsbury Druggists = We APP
preciate their generous and untiring efforts
to make our stay with them both agreeable
and profitable, and trust that the same
energy shown in their business relations,
will be equally appreciated by their pa
irons" q,

anticipate with pleasure the excursion
among the hills of Vermont, over the
Portland and Ogdensburgh railroad, ten

tendent, Mr.. w. Ii. Bryant. May the
Portland and Ogdensburgh go on to
speedy and prosperous completion"
Mr.. Bryant was called for but could not
be found. U.f
After another hour of pleasant conversa-
lion and music the party gradually dis
persed, and thus ended one of the most en-
ioyable occasions within the remembrance
Of your correspondent
The. morning of the 14th the association
received an invitation from Mrs. Franklin
Fairbanks to visit the grounds and green
house of Col. Fairbanks, but having in
view Mr.. Bryant's kind invitation, could
not accept.
During Thursday mornings session of
The association, much of interest trans
pred Papers were read by Mr.. Van Pat

'nt specimens of opium as found in our

written and elected much discussion.
At IL o'clock the association adjourned |

The excursion with MIR. Bryant over his |
'oad as far as Greensboro was OF much in
crest the scenery was delightful and
'aried. Leaving st. Johnsbury at 113O
''clock we started on our journey. When
bout mile or so from st. Johnsbury sta
ion we pass over a trestle work 70 feet
Ugh and 700 feet long, which caused quite
sensation among the timid ones. Every
ttention was paid the excursionists by our
I'D Rutland railroad friends, W. H. Bryant,
superintendent, George Howe, master me-
hanlc, and Sherman w. Parkhurst, con-
Iuctor. The trip was much more epjoya-
lie to the Rutland pharmacists on that
ccount. A fair view is obtained, before
eac6ing Danville, of Moose Hillock noun
ain and Mt. Lafayette of the Franconia
ange in New Hampshire, and on arriving |
t Danville we observe, still further north,
he white capped top of Mt Washington.
'assing west of Danville we stop at Wal
EN- Nights, ana here, looking across the
.amollle valley west, we see the snow
apped peaks of Jay and Lowell noun
aims of the Green Mountain range, and on
little further Mt. Mansfield and Camel's
lump. On Walden flights we find
he highest cultivated land in Vermont, the
cad waters of the Lamolle river. Be-
ween Walden and Greensboro we pass
yer another tIeste work 90 feet high and
90 feet long. At Greensboro d lunch is
erved on the train by our st. Johnsbury
riends, ever thoughtful and accommoda-
ing, and pretty soon we start for st.
and after quick ride of about
n hour, arrive In time to take the 3;22
rain for Wells River, and from there
ONE. Before leaving the cars at st.
ohnsbury, three rousing cheers and a
ger are given for our friend Bryant and
he Portland and Ogdensburg road, the
ldies joining with the rest
Too much cannot be said IN praise of
ur treatment by the st. Johnsbury drug
lists, and we collectively and individually,
Il together. and with will, vote Messrs.
