DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN JERcno.--A destructive
fire broke out In the store Of Perciyal & Cakes, on
Monday, which consumed the entire building and
a considerable portion Of the stock IN trade The
fire lasted about four hours and was fought with
the utmost resolution by the people of the village,
both men and women There was no fire engine
in the town, and the only supply OF water was OBJ
tanned from the river. A line Of men, with buck
cts, was formed from the river to the fire, and a
line Of women 10 pass back the empty pals.
Mr. Percivas house was but three or four feet
from the store, and ON that side OF the burning
building was stored a large quantity OF kerosene,
which made fearfully hot fire. Yet by pouring
on water with buckets, aided by the favoring
wind, the house was saved. It was very hot
place for some Of the men, who stood in the gap
till their faces were blistered. During the pro-
gress OF the fire, hlr. John Perciyal was blown
from the roof Of the store, by an explosion either
OF kerosene or gun powder. lie fell into bank
OF snow, and escaped unhurt.
One OF the greatest sufferers by the fire IL c. 5.
Palmer, Esq., whose law Office was over the store,
and who lost his entire library, without insurance
The store and stock OF perciyal and Cakes were
insured In the Vermont Mutual The furniture In
Mr. Percyals house was insured In the Champlaln
Mutual but little loss occurred ON IT, except the
slight damage occasioned by Ia removal from the
house.

CoSsoLiDATIoN.- THE Boston Journal under
stands that an arrangement is proposed, and in
fact in progress, for recognizing and funding tho
different securities of the Vermont Central Yer
mont and Canada, and Rutland railroads Tho
proposition is 10 issue 81, 900, 600 Of bonds OF
these 5000 900 at six per cent to be apportioned
to the Vermont and Canada stock, 81 600 900 at
seven per cent for exchange OF the equipment

Canada 5000 900 OF the Rutland bonds and float
ing debt and 100000 to be reserved for Yer
mont Central floating debt and other contln-
geneies OF the consolidated roads 81, 000, 900 OF
eight per cent guaranteed stock to be issued to the
holders of Central Vermont stock, who have re-
Gently contributed that amount to the new corpo-
ration The Vermont Central first mortgage
bonds and Rutland preferred stock to be console
dated into six per cent preferred stock OF So 600
900, the Vermont Central second mortgage
and Rutland common stock into $1,000, 900
Of common stock; each in the proportion OF 1929
10 the Vermont Central, and 1928 10 the Rutland
securities. The interest required will be for tho
silooo0oo bonds, s7i0,00oi for the guaranteed
stock, $50 600; for the Missisquo bonded interest
$40 600; total sS550oo The gross earnings Of
the combined roads are now about 81, 800, 600; all
lowing seventy per cent. for expenses, gives net
income Of sl,o5oooo, which is nearly enough to
pay the interest on the bonds, guaranteed stock,
and $4,000 for the six per cent preferred stock
Tho Journal adds; 1--WE are glad 10 see that the
managers Of these properties are making an at
tempt To rescue them from the imminent danger
In which they now stand That there Is value in
them there Is no doubt. The business over the
roads has increased from six TO eight per cent. per
annum on the average, With good manage
ment, on this ratio few years will put the whole
property into paying condition"

The Lecture Of Moses r. Cheney.

The lecture Of Mfr. Cheney on Monday evening,
was decided succe. in every respect but the
number OF thu audience We had hoped that
Montpelier would have given the lecturer very
large aud generous response to his notice Of a lee
ture on his iavorite subject Of Music II the
memories Of our people had been eighteen years
long II would have been DONE and instead Of the
one hundred and fifty who were present there
would have been four times that number
But the lecture is independent Of its audience
Whether spoken TO few or many that is the same
Mr. Cheney is like nobody else It is needless to
compare him with Cough, or Wendell Phillips, or
Parsons, or any other great lights OF the platform
He peculiar aud unique. AS original and remark
able, as they are. The lecture is the outgrowth Of
the man. We were again and again astonishcd at
tho compass Of his abilities lie ran through the
endre scale Of excellence and stirred every variety
OF feeling and thought There were passages in
II OF intense eloquence, as when he described the
origin and history Of the old .nigue tunes, and
In his magnificent peroration. There were pas
sages Of deep pathos, and the tears were In his
voice and In the eyes Of his andtors, IA when he
spoke Of the familiar music Of our homes And
these periods Of eloquence and pathos Of beauty
and sublimity, were tremendously combined with
picturesque and humorous deliueatious and illus
trations. The episode the hen, and the in
debtedncss ofcertan classes Of music to s vocal ca
paciiy and execution, was irresistible The origin
Of deaconing the hymn, and the description Of the
deacons Of hundred years ago, WAS as fine a
piece Of well sustained UNFORTUNATELY comica
and telling in substance and in manner-as we
ever listened to. Nothing in any OF the modern
humorists, we may venture To say equals it, But
the whole lecture was filled with gems Of eo-
qucnce and pathos and humor # would be as
easy to epitomze a sunset or thunder storm, as
10 give an abstract Of IT,
Our people well remember the remarkable hu-
NOR Of his speech before the legislature at its ex-
ira session in 1851 But wonderful as that speech
was this lecture far surpassed 1t in every element
Of power and OF humor Fun OF thought, full Of
history, full Of fine discrimination and feeling,
full Of splendid wit and Irresistible anecdote and
comment full OF capital musical illustrations; II
ought TO be heard in every town in the state or ia
New England, and no Vernonter ought to think Of
dying without first listening to this old musicmas-
ter Of the state, whose abilities run through the
entire gamut, with not note wanting nor one
without Identification
