Further Reply to DIR. Randall.

Mr., MCMAsTEE PLEASE allow M
a little space for further reply to Dr.
Randall.
He writes, ''Perhaps | pray differ
emily from the mass of proftsset
christians. never pray audibly, OF
in public places, to be seen and hearc
of men and women The implica
ton that prayers are offered for that
object is worthy Of the writer.
Prayers by good men have been of:
tered in the public assembly, in the
social circles, in the family, in the
closet; and are constantly, or fire.
quently rising, from the heart of the
christian, in silent request for Gods
guidance and blessing, for himself and
others. This is called e.jaculatory
prayer Where all other prayer is
neglected. this will not be likely to
flourish. We should hardly have sus-
pected it in DR.. Randalls case, had he
not informed us Of it. The multiplied
cases of united supplication given in
scripture, the promise of answers to
united suppliants "wbere two or three
are agreed in asking" the answer to
Paul and Silas in the prison, where
they prayed and sang praises at mid
night, all join to confirm the propriety
of spraying with all prayer; and
watching thereunto with all persever-
ance" Let sinners learn to pray. Let
saints keep near the throne
In giving view of his prayers one
petition given is, "Iet me have faith
that thou govern all thy created beings
without favor OR partiality."
Probably the meaning is gove'mest
or dost govern. suppose to govern
without favor or Partially, "eyery one
must receive according to the deeds
done here in the body, whether they
be good or whether they be evil. "

The northampton Bank Rob-
berry.

The latest despatch from Spring
field, Mass. states the loss to be quite
as great as the $4,000 previously
reckoned. The bank authorities do
not themselves yet know how much
the private securities will foot up, as
they were not accustomed to examine
this property, 1t seems likely that
from 100000 to 100000 of nego-
table property was stolen besides reg
istered bonds and certificates of stock.
How the bank itself stands appers
from this official letter:
10 Oscar Edwards, President Of The
Northampton National Ba~h,
| have examined the condition OF
your bank, and find that there has
been abstracted, in money and availa-
bic assets, property amounting in cash
value to S76,25O. l also find that
property held by the bank as collater.
al, and which can be made available,
there has been taken, in cash value,
$4,000, making total possible loss
to the bank of $11l,95O. The bank
had a surplus Of S239,370. After
charging off the entire loss there will
be surplus to the credit of the bank
Of sl2742O. Upon this certainty
you are to be congratulated.

The new year. concentrating the compile
ton of the first century of our Independence
and witnessing the election of president
and. for the first time in our history, an en-
tire national house OF representatives,. will be
one OF splendid possibilities both to Journal
ism and TIE country.
The GLOBE will avail Itself Of the former,
by giving the news, late, prompt, fresh and
full by imUartial comments on the news Of
the hour; by candid, honest discussion of the
issues OF the day; by full reports of local oc-
currcnccs, and correspondence both loca, and
general; by agricultural readings, market re
ports, and by selections both grave and cay
In Il word, the cndeavOr will he TO make THE
GLoBE live meuSpapcr indispensable to the
farmer and business man, to the politician and
student, to the Office, counting room and the
family circle.
That the cou"trv may realize the possbli-
ties seemingly in store for il, we shall on our
part, rs in times past, advocates the princi-
pals and policy OF the republican party, n, we
understand them, ahd, to that end, we shall
labor to make it better and purer by combat
ting its errors and exposing the wroug-doerS
III its ranks. We shall favor and strive for
real administrative reform, speedy return

Of the nations plighted faith, purcr and

As an earnest Of the future, we can only
point to our course in the past, and assure
our patrons that hereafter, as heretofore, we
shall endcavor to make The GLOBE better
and better, and more aud more worthy sup
port with each succeeding month"; What
HE GLoEE has been during the less than
three years Of its existence is we'll known,
that it has been fully apprecialedits generous
support amply attests.
As Il medium of advertising, THE CLONE is
unsurpassed in Vermont. The combined
daily and weekly circulation exceeds that of
