NbhdbNNES.
The ladies of Vergennes have just sent
quite large box OF clothing, which they
have made during the winter, together with
quite sum of money TO the ChildreH's
Home in Burlington. The workers are
ladies from all the religious bodies in town
who however much they may differ on
other points yet agree that Gods poor be-
long to all.
I.enten services are held in st. Paul's
church and are better attended than ever
before. The rector, Rev. Mr. Chaplin, de-
livers lecture on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday evenings Of each week. Pre-
parations are being made for Easter music
which promises to be unusually good. This
| is one of the few parishes where the Offer
ing of praise to God in song is not delegated
| to four or six persons perched aloft or
otherwise separated from the body of wor-
shippers but where each one makes his own
| Offering and congregational singing is q
| success.
The present term OF the graded school
closes in three weeks. This has been o
prosperous term and closes the sc cond year
! of Mr.. Ross administration. XXI
FAIR HAVEN.
The middle class of the Fair Haven high
school we're greeted by large audience at
Adams hall on the eve of the Goth. The
declamations were selected to give the au-
dience varied programme. We had from
"Dayid's lament over Absoiom" to "Tam
| O'Shanter" and from "How the old horse
won the bet" to clear up, up to civilian
| Tell" To say which spoke beet would be
hard to do, and still more dtf1cr't to FAY
which spoke poorly. The c. j COM
pare with any thirteen taken ne mid
die class of either of Vermoats colleges
and do no discredit to the college students.
The exhibition has demonstrated that we
have very fine high school under the
charge Of q competent principal and effici-
| ent corps of instructors, and that the
scholars are improving In the school Some
of the pieces were spoken 30 superbly l
would like to speak of them in par
| ticular, but 1t is best not to-
There are few towns in the state the size of
this that can furnish thirteen misses and
lads from Is to l6 that can exhibit better
style of elocution than was given by this
class. The music was fine. MIR. johnson
in this effort for the good of the school
and pleasure of it's patrons, deserves the
thanks Of our town, that In his vacation he
has furnished this pleasant entertainment.
There arc four young boys in the school
preparing for college and can be prepared
to enter this fall If thought best.
The next lecture before the reading club
will be delivered in Adams hall on Monday
evening next, March Goth, by Edward l.,
Allen. esq. There will be no reserved
seats and the only way to be sure of a sea,
will be to go early and take it before some
one else gets it. Admission only fifteen
cents children under three not admitted.
The account of the golden wedding OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Phelps of Orwell, published
in The GLOBE leads me to think Mr.. and
Mrs. A. N. Adams of this place have dsne
what few have done before them. They
with four children have attended within
the past few years the golden wedding Of
their four parents, and now they are all
four alive and enjoying comfortable health
for age.
The poem of E. II. Phelps, our bank
cashier, as his parents met upon the fittietf
anniversary of their welded life, and his
poem read here where he spoke Of the
| "Irishmen's wit,
| And Scotchmens grit"
contrast strangely with the missives h
sends as notary public.
The former are as smooth as ile,
| The latter seem 10 stir mans bile.
