Az INTERESTING RDnNIsCENcE Mr. Joseph
S. Walton communicates to the Sherbrooke (Cau-
ada Gazette some interesting memoranda of the
memorable snow storm which fell in Northern
Vermont on the 9th of June, 1916 The depth Of
snow was six or eight inches in peaeham, where
Mr. Walton then resided The best crop raised
that year was sugar, and he relates that some of
this was made as late as the tenth Of June. On
the day of the storm an old man and boy, who
set out through deep forest to find flock Of
sheep were bewildered in the Storm lost their
way, and were out in the cold two nights The
whole town were alarmed and made a rally to find
the lost ones and finally succeeded, the first of
the party who discovered them firing gun to no
tify the rest that the lost were found The old
man, referred to in 7honpson's Gazetteer rs eigh-
ty-iour years old was found encamped under cover
OF an upturned tree, so much frozen that he was
obliged to have one toe removed. Doubtless
many persons remember being told of this notable
snow storm, when the young lambs Jared so badly
and the young birds were frozen in their nests

SOUTHERN ArrEAI.-We learn from New
York city that Major d -any, colored citi-
zen of South Carolina, addressed an assem-
bly, in that city last Friday evening vii
liam c. Bryant, Esq, presided, being sup
ported by the venerable Peter Cooper. 1t
was sight OF great significance and inter
est, these ilustriou, men on the platform,
and between them Mr., D'lany pleading for
the white as well a. the black men Of the
South. For he was there to denouuce the
injustice, the robbery and continued wrong
that both endured from the rapacity Of men
who had taken advantage of the state OF
things to enrich themselves at the expense
Of the suffering people. lie said that the
white people of thu South were waiting and
willing to take the blacks by the hand and
90 with them in every IN assure tending to
the common good Of both. They did not
wish them to leave their positions, their
manhood or their rights. There was no ami
mostly at the South between the whites and
blacks. lie wanted the people Of the North
to shape their policy so as to discourage the
interference Of mischieyous political adven-
turers. The two races must dwell together
They were labor and capital, each necessary
to the other, each useless without the other
Mr.. Delauy spoke with great earuestness and
force, and was oft "a loudly applau1nd 10y

LOOKING AHEAD.-AIr. c. +. Adams, Dr.,
in a recent lecture, said that the time was
coming when all the railroads of the country
would be combined in one strongly organ
lied monopoly. lie could not predict what
influence it would have upon the political
institutions of the nation, but thought ii
could not fail TO interfere with them to
great extent. lie did not think the time
had yet come, when the state should assume
the function of railroad corporation. At
the present in Massachusetts, the system was
under the control of public opinion, which
was the strongest safeguard Of the people.
