FALL TERM OF VERMONT ACADEMY.
The advertisement for the Fall Term
of the Vermont Academy appears in an
other place. This is the first term of an
institution which is doubtless destined to
fill an important place in the education
al history of the State. The term opens
Wednesday of next week, but pupils
will be received till the first of October.
Financially we suppose this school will
start off stronger than any similar insti-
tuition in the State, and as the income
from the large endowment fund is to be
exclusively devoted to the payment of
teachers salaries, it will secure and per-
manently retain teachers of the best
ability. In the circular of the Trustees
for the Fall term, with very eommenda.
BILE liberality they offer free tuition to
the children of al pastors and the or
phan children of all deceased pastors Of
all denominations in the State of Yer,
mont" As a home institution, it will
of course commend itself, and we shall
hope to hear ola good aggregate attend.
ance for the ensuing term.

Mass Meeting at BrattIeboro

1000 PEOPLE IN COUNCIL.
The republican mass meeting at Brat
tleboro was attended by some 5000 peo-
pie. Speeches were made by Hon. Dud-
ley G. Denison, member of Congress
from this district, Judge Benham of
Louisiana, Gen. Bristow of Kentucky,
and Hon. Dorman B. Eaton of New
York. The speeches were all excellent,
Gen. Bristow was in bad voice and prob
ably not over half of the audience could
distinctly hear him, but it was good to
look at his fine physique and pleasant
countenance. Judge Benham made a
strong speech on the condition of affairs
in the southern states, and Mr.. Eaton
made scathing exposure of the sham
of Tilden's reform" while Mr.. Denison
with much earnestness and ability show
ed the Importance of the pending cleo
ton.
On the platform were Hon. George
Nichols, secretary of the republican
state committee, 1t. Gov. Hinckley, Elk
Lit. Gov. Burnham Martin, Hon. E. p.
Walton, Hon. Jacob Estey, and other
prominent men of the county and state.
The Brattleboro. Glee Club gave several
very excellent songs and the music by
the Brattleboro Cornet Band and or
chestra was especially fine. Kittredge
Haskins presided and mentioned the
fact of the meeting being held in the
same oak grove where Daniel Webster
spoke In 1910.
In the evening there was grand torch
light procession, with music, including
Fuller's Drum Corps. In the afternoon
the speakers were escorted to the stand
by the band and Estey Guard In the
evening some of the speakers were Kissed
and there was quite a tumult, made by
that class of northern secessionists who
cannot present any other argument fol
their cause, but no one was seriously in
iured. When they Kissed Judge Ben
ham he took occasion to say that it wa
a familiar sound, and that in Louisians
they we're called copperheads.

The Mass Meeting at Chester.
A Handsome Success.

The people of Chester never fail in
their public demonstrations, and the re-
publican mass meeting there on Thurs
day afternoon of last week was one of
those brilliant successes which will long
last in pleasant memories More than
1000 people were present and some esti-
mated it as high as 5000. Four bands
of music were present, being the cornet
and brass bands from Bellows Falls,
Grafton, Springfield and Ludlow, and
they gave splendid music. The Rock
ingham, Ludlow and Springfield delega-
tions were received at the depot by the
Chester Hayes and Wheeler Club, under
the command of S. III. Leonard, Mar
shall, and escorted to the south village,
with banners and music. One banner
was :" We are from the Mountains
they proclaim the everlasting creed of
Liberty" On another was this motto !:
"Vermont-First in Union, first in Re
publican majorities."
On the platform were many of the
prominent men of this section of the
state, including Hugh Henry and Mer
rick Wentworth of Chester, Hon. w. III.
Walker of Ludlow, Gov. Fletcher and
Hon. G. II. Chapman of Cavendish, j. A.
Farnsworth and j. B. Divoll of Rock
ingham, Francis Daniels of Grafton,
Judge Harris of Windham, G. K. Will
liams of the Rutland Globe, &c.
The meeting was held on the front
grounds of the Academy building and
was called to order by Hon. VIM. Rounds,
and after prayer by Rev. E. j. Chaffee,
he made brief speech of cordial well
come to those present, and introduced
Gov. Hartman of New Hampshire.
The address of Gov. Hartman occupied
an hour and twenty minutes and was
among the very best campaign speeches
ever heard in this section of Vermont.
1t was received with great and unani-
nous satisfaction We have no space
for any report of it, which would be in
Justice if attempted. 1t had most hap.
py effect He was followed briefly by
Lucius Bigelow of Burlington, who also
addressed the republicans at meeting
held in the evening. Kittredge Haskins
Of Brattleboro was called for and he
made brief speech which was received
with marked favor. The venerable Gov
Fletcher of Proetorsville, was on the
platform and being called for, made q
brief address of solid points, not omit
; ting the spice for which the Governor is
so famous.
The bands and the Chester glee clut
furnished fine music, and the most inim
J liable song ever given at politica
meeting was sung by j. M. Hubbard o
Chicago. 1t was received with prolonged
cheering, so long that it must still b.
echoing among the hills of Chester anc
vicinity. At last Mr.. Hubbard cam,
forward and led the crowd in singing
America" and so closed one of thu
best and happiest political meetings eve
held in Vermont.
