TUESDAY, MAY ls, 1876.

xEThe Rutland Herald is doing a
little in the doctrinal religious line, once
in while. We couldn't get much Of an
idea out of its latest effort, but it seemed
to suggest that the reason why so many
children die is that if they all arrived at
years OF maturity not enough Of them
would attain to salvation to give heaven
an adequate population.

The Ticonderoga Centennial,

The Ethan Allen Centennial at Tcon-
deroga on Monday Of last week, realized
greater success than was anticipated.
After the original plans were abandoned
but little was expected. Then the
morning was dark with clouds and rain,
and the mud was tremendous" and it
did seem a hopeless case. But the people
kept coming and the enthusiasm increased
until the close of Mr.. Cooks grafton,
when everybody voted that it was q
glorious occasion and the Vermonters of
a hundred years aro were all ho~onn
Vermont was well represented There
we're Lieut.. Gov Hnckley, Generals Stan.
nard Wells, Barstow, Henry, Foster and
military men in great numbers Of lesser
rank aud note, A prominent feature of
the occasion was the great abundance of
music. Nine cornet bands were in
attendance, Middlebury sent delegation
of dozen or more and most of the towns
in Addison county were largely repre-
sented. The press of Vermont and New
York was to considerable extent rep.
resented by editors or reporters.
A procession was formed near Wicker
Hotel, under the direction of Col. Egolf,
in the following order;
Marshal of the Day and Aides
St. Adams Brigade Band.

The exercises were held at the parade

Calkins, chairman, made an address of
welcome, and introduced Rev Joseph
Cook as orator of the day. Mr.. Cook
spoke eloqucntly. learneoly accurately
and at great length He discussed the
historic scene, giving vivid description
of the places OF especial interest, then
devoted little time to the date of the
events which were being commemorated,
then he passed to a more extended
discussion OF the hero Of that exploit and
filled up his time in references to the
nation and the particular exploit known
as "the capture of Tconderoga." Col.
Joyce, member from this District, was
then introduced and he entertained the
audience right eloquently, rs he is capable
Of doing, ior thirty or forty minutes

SPRINGFIELD.

Springfield had town meeting at
tended with more than the usual amount
of interest, although the attendance was
not unusually large on account of the
travelling.
Among the articles in the warrant
those in relation to roao commissioners,
and the adoption of the town system of
schools, caused considerable discussion
but the choice OF selectmen was when the
work was really done.
Mr.. r. o. Forbush has served for
some years as selectman, and about six
years past as collector, and 1st.constable,
and to quite general acceptance.
The change in the law that a selectman
could not be collector left it a question
for him to decide which of the two offices
was most desirable, and he had conclud-
ed in his state Of health and other cir
cumstances, that if he was chosen he
would prefer the place of collector.
When it was found that he would not
probably run as selectman, two or three
other men were asked, and urged to take
the place of selectmen, and men who
could have been easily elected, but de-
clined the nomination.
On the ballot for second selectman Mr..
Forbush's name was brought forward,
but as it was not generally known who
was regular, and who would be the can
didate, in the second trial the grangers
and all sorts secured victory.
The town during the forenoon had
voted to discount on the town taxes 10
per cent. if paid before Feb. 1st, 1876,
but the choice Of collector was deferred
until after the board of selectmen was
elected, and the lowest bidder as collec-
tor was w. T. Lowell for 500 a price
for which Mr. Forbush from his expert
ence did not think would answer

Suspended Animation.

A very singular case of suspended an
imation is reported from Yankton, Da-
kota, by correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune. A lady, the young wife of a
Mr.. Scott Goodwin, called physician to
prescribe for slight cold. A simple
mixture, combining syrup and a quiet
ing drug, was administered, and she soon
after felt a strange inclination to sleep.
After few periods of returning con-
sciousness she passed into breathless
stupor, which gradually assumed all the
characteristics of death. She was pre-
pared for the grave, but it was noticeable
that the body did not grow cold, except
about the neck and shoulders, although
the thermometer out doors marked twen-
ty degrees below zero, and the atmos-
phere in the room was very cold. The
limbs retained their fexibility, and her
eyes were not glaring, but wore dreamy
and stupifed expression. These appear
ances made such an impression upon
those present, especially as there were no
signs of dissolution, that it was decided
to postpone burial, and at the date of
the correspondents letter, the supposed
corpse had been kept nearly a week.
What adds to the idea that the lady is
in a cataleptic or trance condition is the
fact, now told by her husband, that some
months ago she dreamed that she slept
in trance very nearly as she has now
done. In this state, though not sick,
she was deprived of the power of motion
or speech, but was able to hear every
thing that passed around her. At the
end of fourteen days she awoke, having,
as she dreamed it, had narrow escape
from being buried alive. Her singular
dream has been actually verified in sew
eral particulars, and her friends are
hopefully looking for her return to life
at the end of fortnight.
