JAMES BoYDES.-Under the head OF deaths"
In this issue Of our paper will be found the name
of this venerable man Of nearly four score, who
has for some forty years pursued quietly and nm
obtrusivey but faithfully, the duties of his calling
in this village. Some will remember him AS hay
ing In his younger days done missionary work in
this and other states, as preacher Of the Uniyer-
salst faith. Mr. Boyden was man Of consider,-
BILE reading, and intelligent beyond the estimation
OF those who knew him but slightly, lie was de-
cided in his convictions, and prompt to support
his views with argument, diligent in business, and
Of unimpeached integrity One Of the most
marked features In his character was his self-rei-
dnoe. So reluctant was he, TO seem for moment
dependent ON others, that it was difficult to do
him favor, aud many pardonable subterfugcs
have his friends resorted to in months past, in
their efforts to alleviate the loneliness and priya-
tions OF his lot His wife and children gone before
him--all those Of his own blood, so far as known,
having passed away-he has lived by himself
for years, his isolation made more complete
by gradually increasing deafness What then,
could those say who bore his body to the tomb
last sunday save, Earth had little Of good to offer
thee, In thy deereptude, aged friend God speed
thee to brighter cline and to companionships
long sorely missed"

RAILROAD CoSsoiIpATIoN.-We understand
that satisfactory arrangements are made for the
consolidation u the Central Vermont and the Rut-
land and Burlington railroads We wish, on pub
lie grounds We could also announce that the Yer
mont and Canada was party to the eonsolida-
ton. The present arrangement may hasten such
a result And nothing could do better for all the
parties in interest, II it could be accomplished
These Vermont roads could then bid farewell to
useless and expensive litigation and use all their
means for the legitimate extension OF business
They could then invite Boston capital to the no
doubtful enterprise Of making the Central Yer
mont the great thoroughfare OF traffic between
the capital OF New England and the great lakes Of
the West

wants, but he can raise just the kind that suits
him, and for these he has no trouble in finding

good stock to give him call, as he is pleased to
show his stock to all. We are pleased to note
that everything about his premises indicates that

on school law and schools, The subject was
presented in an able manner giving the audience
plain understanding Of the law, and also the
history Of its growth from the first school law Of
the state, passed in 1882, TO the present Many
points in the existing law seem good, while some
need improvement. His remarks on the manage
ment of the schools, and ON sehool-houses, were
well calculated to set people to thinking, and we
trust with that thought will come action in the
right direction. In fine, it was an address from
which all can derive not only pleasure, but profit,
and we trust full houses will encourage the Super
intendent in his work, for which he seems 50 well
