A GOVERNOR WITH NO NONSENSE
ABOUT HIM-An anecdote Of Governor
Peck has just come to our ears which
shows his contempt for false pride and
his kindness of heart, as well as good
deal of muscular activity in person OF
his advanced years. Near his home in
Jericho live poor old couple, to whom
the struggle for life is hard one Re
Gently the husband was laid up, by an
accident, and as Governor Peck was
passing the house, the other day, he saw
the old lady endeavoring to saw and
split some wood, furnishing the piteous
spectacle woman always does under
such circumstances, and achieving the
degree of success usual when the softer
sex stoop to conquer a wood pile. The
governor promptly interfered, attacked
the wood with the impetuosity and vigor
of youth of twenty, and sawed and
split large quantity, to the intense de.
light and happiness of the aged couple.
1t is rare that large wealth, exalted pos
ition, profound learning and innate kind
ness of heart are united so happily as in

To GET A Horse Our OF A WELL
Geo. w. Wood, of Sugar Loaf Ind,
came near losing valuable mare few
days ago. The animal walked out Of a
barn door directly into a we'll thirty feet
deep, Considerable engineering was
brought into play to rescue it. Mr.
Wood filled the bottom of the we'll with
hay, which he pounded down so as to
make solid footing for the mare, and
continued increasing its height until he
had got her within two and half feet
from the top, at which junction she
sprang out uninjured, except a partial
rubbing Of her tail, and slight cut in
her breast, caused by stone. The fall
ing into well is not an unusual occur
renee, and the above method of rescuing
them is we'll worthy of note.-Erchaage.

AFTERNOON.

The report of the Treasurer was read
showing that no money had been re.
ceived or credited by the treasurer dur.
ing the past year, beyond the amount
collected and appropriated toward the
payment for the services and expenses Of
the agent, amounting to 1904 81, and
the report was accepted.
Rev. ?, N. Granger reported that his
entire collections and receipts as agent
from the time of the annual meeting in
December, 1874, to the time of his re.
signation in April, last, were S2O4.61,
which amount was allowed him by the
executive committee toward his services
and expenses during the time named
ana the report and appropriation were
approved.
The following resolutions were then
severally discussed and adopted
Resot0ed, That we find cause of encouragement
IN the existence and labors of the various temper-
ance organizations of the State and especially in
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and
Juvenile Temperance societies, more recently estab-
lshed. ~
Resokued, That with the immense power and in
duence OF the Christian ministry, there comes an
equal responsibility and we urge upon the minis
tefs OF the dospel in our State the Importance of
frequently preaching against the sin of the use and
sale OF Intoxicating beverages, and thus arousing
the pubic mind to action against the great hinder
ance to the Gospel.
ResQtped. That as the Christian men of Vermont
hola the balance OF political power in the State
we oeieye 1t is their duty to unite all their forces
tine great evils resulting from the rum traffic;
anu tnat no Christian voter has the moral right to
cast ms influence or his vote for any man. to make
or execute laws. who is in favor of the traffic in
Intoxicating drinks,
Resolped, That we have great cause of rejoicing in
the hrn position of Vermont against the system of
licensing or giving legal sanction to the business of
rum drinking bar rooms and saloons: and we look
to future legislatures for efectual protection
against such sources Of corruption, wherever thew
State. y -
r. HesotUed, That the publications Of the National
temperance Society, j. N. Stearns agent So Reade
St, New York, and the Vermont Witness published
py the Secretary OF this Society in Burlington, are
recommended to the friends of Temperance in Yer
mont. =
After reading the minutes, on motion,
the meeting adjourned.

More trouble! The Washington Re-.
publican, the Grant organ, devotes a
double-leaded leader of two and q
half columns to the determination of
Vice President Wilson as statesman,
as Republican, as politician, as a
presiding officer, and as Presidential
candidate. IL insists that he never had
any sense; that he has lately lost what
little he had, and that he is one of the
most cowardly of leaders, and wain-
ing alarmist. Considering that just
about the time the Vice President be-
gan to raise the alarm the Republicans
hegan to lose elections, and that while
the Republicans kept on loosing States,
until.they had lost two-thirds of those
in which they had political supre-
macy, 1t would seem that Wilson has a
tslerable vindication tn the shape of
election figures. Wilson cherishes the
old-fashioned Republican idea, an idea
that had its birth when Grant was a
Democratic and tho Republican hon
son organ, that the way to carry cleo
tions is to get votes, and the way to get
votes is to make the actions Of theparty
such as must command the confidence
of upright citizcps!b but the,organ thinks
that II Is best TO depend upon jobbers,
courliers and Office holders, and read
