WArERBuRY.-The Reform School, in the new
temporary building, is now running in regular or
der, and all the arrangements for its accommoda-
ton are surprisingly complete Under the roofs
Of the main building and the wing, are the rooms
OF the officers, the school-rooms, the workshops,
the cook-room, the dining-room, the bunk-room,
the chapel, the water-tanks, the steam-pipes for
warming, and all the conyenlences for the wants
of the school, as well as very much for comfort.
1t will be a marvel To any one u see what has
been accomplished in so short time. The school
is not only comfortably located for the year 10
come, but for two or even three years, III should
be needful To keep II here so long. II some OF
those who voted 10 have the school removed to
Nergennes, will come now and look at H. they will
be surprised at the folly of fastening the erection
OF new building at that place for It's accommoda-
ton.
The lyceum connected with the graded school
will give It's first public entertainment OF this term,
(thisl Wednesday evening. Judging from similar
entertainments Of last term the pupils will acqut
themselves creditably.
The Washington county conference OF Congre-
gational churches will be held at this place, on
Tuesday, February 9th, opening at half past-ten,
a. NJ, and continuing through the day.
Something new for this neighborhood In the
form Of sheet and pillow-case party, took place,
on Friday evening Of last week, at the residence
OF Mr.. Bruce. II was considered grand success,
and afforded ample amusement both for the guests
and large number OF spectators.

FUTON STREET PRAYER-MEErrSG.- There Is
held In Fulton street. New York, noon-day
pnyer-meeting, which has been kept up for
series of years, until 1t has become an institution
Of Importance and influence In addition TO per-
sonal requests, letters from all parts Of the country
are constantly being received sometimes as many
as hundred being presented in one day, These
are from parents, asking prayers for children and
children for parents; wives for dsspated and un-
believing husbands, and sisters for brothers.
Some ask for employment, and some for bread
but more touching than all are requests from
wives, for dissipated and idle husbands. Neglected
and abused, they have striyen, and prayed, and
hoped When there is no longer any faith in man,
or hope in the future, the burdened soul fees to
Gods people, beseechlng them to pray, They do
pray, and the answers so prayer are sometimes so
speedy and so signal AZ to rebuke the faith, even
of Christians. We read in the Bible Of linen go
ing up to Jerusalem to pray" and this seems like
another temple, not made with hands, but made q
temple by die presence Of God, through the Holy
Spirit. ANS

West ToPsHAM.-Tho gospel meetings, con-
Quoted by committee OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association of Vermont held at this place on
Friday and Saturday of last week, were well at
tended, and had the hearts Of the people been as
Christian hearts should be, perhaps would have
resulted in some good; but when sectarian jeal-
ousies arise, and protested Christians cannot dwell
together in unity, il cannot be expected that tho
unregenente will care to join them.

\ VALUABLE PArEST.-Letters Patent have
been issued from the United States Patent Office,
bearing date January r. 1875 to Luke J. Roberts,
Of Waterbury, Vt, for his improved milk cooling
pans. The patent was obtained by T Dcavitt,
Montpelier, Vt, solicitor Of patents. The novelty
OF this invention would seem at the first glance 10
be the simple and convenient manner of its con-
structioE, whereby the milk Of fifteen, twenty or
more cows may be handled and SKINNED and the
pans emptied and kept in order with almost as lit
tie labor and time as the same number Of the old
style ten quart tin pans would require. On a
closer inspection OF the invention we find that the
cold water that enters the hopper is not allowed
to come in contact with the pan containing the
milk until it reaches the center of the bottom OF IT,
and then the water is kept under control so that
the milkis cooled more gradually tho circuinier-
enee and more rapidly at the center Of the pans,
thereby driving the animal odor outward and up
ward from the milk. This is avery important i'm
proyement, for some very excellent coolers in
other respects, inure the flavor Of the butter and
prevent it from keeping sweet for any considen.-
BILE length Of time by condensing the animal odor
or driving it into the milk and cream by too rapid
cooling or by cooling the out side of the pan first
These rotary pans reyolyc horizontally and are
easily tipped when emptied of their contents--
They are cheap and durable and will no doubt
come into general use soon.
