st. Jonnsbury.

There are few, if any, more attractive
places in this State than st. Johnsbury.
1t is tidy, thrifty, enterprising little
village among the greenest of hills. 1t
has good sidewalks, good hotels, fine
church edifices and prosperous societies.
A fine soldiers monument adOrns a
grassy slope in front of the Court House.
There are many beautiful residences,
and it is evident great pride is taken by
the citizens in their town. Associated
with St. Johnsbury is the name Fair
banks and with that name the scales
which almost weigh the world. All this
wealth and thrift is due to these very
scales and the enterprise of the manu-
facturers, the Fairbanks.
Happening in st. Johns6ury, last
Monday evening, we strOlled into the
Athen@um, Il magnificent building de-
voted to literature and art, Il princely
gift from Gov. Horace Fairbanks to st.
Johnsbury. The structure is of pressed
brick with brown stone trimmings. 1t
is lofty building with French roof and
a symmetrical tower. Ascending broad
cut granite steps the visitor finds him
self in rOOmy vestibule on either side
of which grand stairways lead to Il fine
hall. From the vestibule you pass to
the reading room which is furnished
with easy-chairs, reading desks, and
conveniently arranged about the walls
are all the leading daily and weekly
papers together with monthlies and
quarterly reviews. Next is the library
with its alcOves crammed with thou
sands of books. Next we find the ant
gallery rich and brilliant with its rare
paintings, the browning glory of them
all is the 'DOmes of the Yosemite" by
Bierstadt. Bronzes and statuary meet
you at every turn. The finish of these
rooms is al hard wood and the appoint
ments of the cOstliest kind. 1t is not to
be wondered at that the people of all
classes show taste and cultivation when
they have literature and art always free
before them. 1t was brilliant throng
that filed these rooms Monday evening.
Gov. Fairbanks was present and gave
an informal reception to the Press AS
ISOLATION of New Hampshire and their
wives which with invited guests from
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut numbered about sevehty-tive
persons. This party had been 10 Mt.
Mansfield, stopped mt st. JOl'nsbury
over night and were bound for the
White Mountains the following day

1t was needful for me to write unto
you, and exhort you that ye should
earnestly contend for the faith. Jude 3.
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a

to YOU the whole armOr OF God, that ye
NAV be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins grit

breastplate of righteousness. And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword

LEGAL TAUToLoGY.-Som idea of
the legal formula may be gathered from
the following specimen, wherein if a
man wishes to give another an orange,
instead of saying, 81 give you that
orange" he must set forth his will and
deed thus: II give you all and singu-
lar, my estate and interest, right, title
and claim, and advantage of and in that
orange, with all its rind, skin, juice,
pulp and pips, and all rights and add
vantage therein, with full power to bite,
suck or otherwise eat the same orange,
or give the same away, with or without
its rind, skin, juice, pulp and pips, any
thing heretofore or hereinafter, or in
any other deed or deeds, instrument Or
instruments of what kind or nature So
ever, to the contrary in any wise not
withstanding."

A Strikers Proclamation.

The following proclamation was is
sued by the strikers and posted about
Baltimore and at various places along
the line of the railroads
STRIKE AND LIVE!
BREAD WE MUST HAVE!
Remain and Perish!
Be it understood, if the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad Company does not
meet the demands of the employees at
an early date, the officials will hazard
their lives and endanger their property
for we shall run their trains and loco
motives into the river; we shall blow
up their bridges; we shall tear up their
railroads; we shall consume their shops
with fire and ravage their hotels with
desperation. A company that has from
time to time SO numerically cut our
wages, and finally reduced us to stary-
alton, for such we have, has lost all
sympathy. We have humbled our
selves from time to time to unjust de-
mands until our children cry for bread.
A company that know all this, we
should ask in the name of high heaven
what more do they want-Our blood
They can get our lives. We are will
ing to sacrifice them, not for the COM
pany, but for our rights. Call out your
armed hosts if you want them. Shield
yourselves if you can, and remember
that no foe, however dreaded, can repel
us for moment. Our determination
may seem frail, but let it come. They
may think our cause is weak. Fifteen
thousand noble miners, who have been
insulted and put upon by this self-same
company are at our backs. The mer-
chants and the community at large
along the whole line of the road are
on our side, and the working classes of
every State in the Union are in our ia
vor, and we feel confident that the God
of the poor and the oppressed of the
earth is with us. Therefore, let the
clashing of arms be heard let the fiery
elements be poured out if they think it
right, but in need of our right and in
defence of our families we shall conquer
or we shall die.

DvING.-The fun of good dive, is
fun indeed. L have often ''fetched bot.
tom" at fifteen feet, and brought up a
big stone to prove to my comrades that
l had been "clean down." But once in
water like crystal, in the Upper Lakes,
where the pebbles could be seen at the
bottom, l came rushing up with my
head cracking, and saw an old fellow
grinning at me. hung breathless to a
wharf pile, and he casually informed
me that the water was twenty-siX feet
deep "thar or tharabouts."
Jumping from a height is doubtful
job. RecOllect that in everything con-
nected with swimming you are top
heavy, and that water is incompressible.
If you get off your balance while drop
ping, and fall on your side, either you
will be drowned, or your mother will
need, next day, all the cold cream in the
neighborhood. have painful recollec-
tions on that subject. Two days i'll bed
and maternal lecture of the same
length were too much to pay for ole
dizzy, sidewise rush through the air. If
