And with every wave II bore away

Like granite walls on either side.

Covered the valley far and wide,
For the mighty banks were gone.
A grain Mt time they were swept away;
And now the fields and meadows lay
Under the waves for the work was done.

Up to the region Of endless light.

impairment Philanthropy.

The proposition of certain parties to
raise fund, in Boston, for the defence of
Pnair is an entire gratuity of very well
meaning but very superfluous charity.
Vermont people will take care of their
own citizens, and the execution of their
laws, without any charity funds in Boston,
or any where else. The governor is, al
ready, taking active legal measures, with
out reference to expense, and Vermonters
themselves will do the same, to bring to
light the innocence of John p. Phair, if it
exists. No outside philanthropy is requi-
site to the ends of both justice and mercy
in Vermont. The case is now in the best

sIR L. b. PLATT, KNIGHT TEMPLAR.
The following memorial notice was voted
by Mt. Calvary commsndery, No. l, Mid.
dlebury, Vt.
In the solemn rites OF our order we have
often been reminded that we were born to
die. An alarm has come to the door of
our asylum, and the messenger was death.
A pilgrim warrior has been summoned, a
burning taper OF life in our commandery
has been extingulshed, and none save the
High and Holy one can relight it.
lie who now is numbered with the hosts
who have gone before is our brother.
With him we have walked in the pilgrim
age of life, and kept watch and ward to-
gether in its vicissiludes and trials.
In token Of our fraternal esteem and anec-
ton, be IL resolved:
That the memory OF his virtues fingers in our
remembrance and reflects It's shining lusJie
beyond the portals OF the tomb.
That he has been faithful 10 the captain OF
our SALVATION, true and courteous knight, an
earnest soldier OF the cross.
That TO the fortitude undaunted OF a lofty
christian faith, he added the justice impartial
or an upright soul, the mercy unrestrained OF
heart imbued with Divine charity.
That we record our hope and our belief that
as ne died trusting In Him who is the resur-
rectlon and the llfe, so will he rise from the
dead, and In the name and power OF Jesus OF
Nazareth enter the blessed asylum OF the re-
deemed OF God 10 ofrer everlastingly the de.
YSotion OF pure and slnctified heart at the
Holy Shrine.
That wa extend our cordial sympathy TO the
DereaYed, and point them TO The consultations
or the christian religion, 10 which his knl ght-
hoou rs MS manhood was consecrated.

A New Temperance Revival.

The new temperance revival in Ohio is
not like the other one of the praying
women, but after the manner of the reform
clubs in Massachusetts, and full of moral
suaslon. 1t is spreading more rapidly than

many large towns is absorbing public inter-

red temperance ribbon, and the saloon
keepers cry hard times more severely than
any other class.

Hugh Smith, Sweeney'e particular friend,

Cardozo by which judicial action was taken

MIR. Tweed says that the Navarro claim
of 100000 against the city, now pend

Art and Artists.

Miss Elizabeth Thompson, the English
battle scene painter, has just sold her last
picture, "lnkermann, for $25, 900.
An association has been formed for the
purpose of erecting a memorial building In
honor of Shakespeare upon a site on the
banks of the Avon. The building will ill.,
clude small theatre for the occasional per-
torrance of the great dramatists plays, a
library of dramatic literature, and a gal
lery containing pictures and statuary of
Shakesperean subjects. The sum at pres
ent guaranteed will be sufficient to so far
advance the theatre as to make IL available
for use, though lacking the proposed orna-
mental details, and further sum of $780,
600 is required to enable the council to pro-
coed with the library and picture gallery.
The council state that if this amount conld
be raised at once, the whole building could
be proceeded with, and by the 23d of April,
1878, would be ready for the Inauguration.
The ultimate object Of this association is to
form the nucleus of aschool of acting, un-
der experienced teachers. The number of
governors is limited TO 100, who subscribe
at least $500 each. The architects, Messrs.
Dogshun and Unsworth, are nov preparing

were there; "Among the Paris students,

Acquitted.

The jury in the case of the death of Mrs.
Israel Burr at Wallingford, whose sudden
death and burial excited so much unfavor-
able comment last week, found verdict
acquitting her husband of any direct crime
but censuring him for inhuman conduct in
burying his wife SO soon after death, and for
not nursing her properly while she was
alive. The testimony at the inquest went
to show that Mrs. Burr was i'll for some
time previous to her death and that there
were no bruises on her body TO lead to the
belief that murder had been committed. 1t
was shown in the inquest that Mrs. Burr
was woman of Incorporate habits and ad-
dicted to prolonged sprees, and that for
thirteen days prevsons to her death she had
been almost constantly intoxicated.

of insurance written for the same period Of |

amount written during the year 1876. This |

results. The abolition was voted by the
legislature March oath, 1876. There had
not been an execution for murder for six
years until 1876, when two murderers were
executed. Since the passage of the new
law, but little more than one year ago,
nine murders have been committed in
