magnificent prosperity for the state of
New York. The occasion was one that
called for something more than mere
historical "reminiscences. 1t had been
commented upon by eloquent speakers
in words that will live forever, that will
be the textbook of those who come
after us, either here or elsewhere. We
must remember that the lesson of this
day is to continue the example set be-
fore us by those who are departed.
The liberty that had been purchased
by the blood of American heroes, and
cultured and preserved by American
statesmen, is the liberty that came here
to stay, and as long as men and women
of the original stock hold possession OF
the government, it will stay and be
maintained in its perfection.
OTHER SPEECHES.
Other brief addresses were made by
Gov. Van Zandt of Rhode Island, and
Gov. Connor of Maine, when the literary
exercises of the day concluded with
music, and the benediction by President
Bartlett of Dartmouth College.

The Banquet.

At the conclusion of these addresses,
the multitude adjourned to the banquet
tent, where Vermont and the guests sat
down to banquet spread by DoOling
of Boston. This was an elegant affair,
the tables being waited upon by Green
Mountain girls. The President entered
the banquet tent at 1856, and was seated
in company with members of his Cabi-
net. Mrs. Hayes was escorted in by
Gov. Van Zandt and Mrs. Gov. Fair
banks by tue President.

Sitting enthroned where in upper air
Thy mountain peaks in solemn grandeur rise,
Piercing the splendOr of the Summer skies
Vermont! Our mighty mother, crowned to-day
In all the glory of thy hundred years,
If thou doest bid me sing. how can but obey?
What though the lips may tremble and the verse
That fain would grandly thy grand deeds rehearse
May trip and falter, and the stammering tongue
Leave all unrhymed the rhymes that should be
sung2
can but do thy bidding, is meet,
Bowing in humble homage at thy feet
Thy royal feet-and if my words are weak,
o crowned One, twas thou didst bid me speak!

THE FISH AND GAME LAW.

DECORATION DAY.

Since the close of the late war for the
Union, it has been practice of many
surviving soldiers and friends. to strew
flowers, in the month of May, on the
graves of the fallen heroes of the army,
and to do other services commemorative
of the noble sacrifices and virtues of de-
ceased braves. Experience having proved
that fer this purpose, day for COM
mon service of this sort is most practi-
cable in the latter part of May, the Leg
islature of Vermont, at its last session,
made the thirtieth day of May, annually,
legal holiday. In many towns and
villages. this year, it is announced that
commemorative services will be held
This is fit. and it may be hoped that sad
memories of the past will. also, "bring
pleasant thoughts to mind" of the pres,
ent and opening future; and that genu.
Inc patriotism, with its broad and ample
fold Tor 'he--~hNlA- country, and not
sectional feeling and partizanship, will
be set on high and hOnored by all the
people. Nor may it be forgotten tina
while the perils of 1914 are passed
there are scarcely less formidable ant
noue the less imminent. Let the grave
of the departed be strewed with flower
and watered with tears. and every tokel
of respect and honor be bestowed upol

A battle at Kars last week was report

A battle at Kars last week was report
ed with great success to the Russians,
who it was said had captured 1900
prisoners with the place, but it is not
confirmed. The Russians have invested
it. 1t is strong fertilization, and in
the war Of 1854 stood siege from June
to November. and was only finally car
ried by the starvation of the garrison.
With the investment Of this place it is
supposed the main body Of the Russians
will proceed to other points. Rumors
at Paris on Tuesday were that Kars was
about to surrender, and that the Tur-
kish army near was in danger Of defeat.
The citadel Of Kars is upon a narrow
plain, 1000 feet above the sea, with all
the surrounding cliffs and hills, strong
by nature, fortified in the most careful
manner. A strong wall surrounds the
whole city. and has heavy iron plated
gates.

THE BUSINESS REVIVAL.

Of business actually done, and record its

this year the exchanges show an increase
Of l2.4 per cent, and in Boston 5.2 per

show gain of 90 per cent. Every city

NAL caused especial activity last year
records actual payments made which ex'
coed those of the same week in 1876
Yet the decline in prices would cause a
decline Of about seven per cent. in trans
actions if only the same quantities Of
goods had been transferred. New York
as the clearing house Of the continent
reflects not only the improvement there

TIE FIELD OF WAR.

An English paper reviewing the field
of operations in Europe says:-Those
who recall the relative position at the
outbreak of the Crimean war in 1858
will be struck by the resemblance of the
present situation. In fact, only two
forms of attack are possible to Russia in
moving against European Turkey. The
approach of Austrian territory and the
Carpathian mountains to within $50
miles of the Black Sea leaves her no
other line of march than across the low
lands of Roumania. Her alternative,
which could only be carried out in con-
junction with the former movement, is to
transport strong force to the eastern
coast and effect Judgment IN the rear
of the Turkish line of fortresses. The
natural advantages of the field are
strongly in favor Of Turkey. From the
Iron Gates to the Black Sea. the north
ern or Wallachian shore of the Danube is
low and generally marsby, while the
southern or Bulgarian shore rises in bold
hills. offering every chance of defence,

Thomas Carlyle published a letter in

between Russia and Turkey, which pro-
duces q marked sensation. Carlyle
thinks the present policy of England is
drifting the nation warwards; he most
emphatically declares that no British In

A. e..~~ -nrtA He speaks IF the i9no-
miny Of England in being connected
with Turkey at all, and asserts that the
only hope for the Turks lies in the

drilling them into knowledge and ex,
perience fitting them to govern them
selves. Carlyle adds that the news

no more respectable than the bowling

A REM ARKABLE MURDER AND
INCENDIARY CASE.

The arrest of Charles w. Cook and
his confession of his part in the murder
of Susan Hanson in November, 1874, is
the sensation of the day at Brook6eld,
N. H., and the surrounding section. The
case, which is thus re-opened, was a
notable one on account of the high stand
ing of the parties involved and the mys-
terry surrounding it. Miss Hanson, who
was one of the most highly esteemed
women in the town, had been engaged
for several years to Joseph Buzzell. a
wealthy farmer, but few months before
the murder he married another, and Miss
Hanson sued him for breach of promise.
On the evening before the case was to
be tried, as Miss Hanson was sitting in
her kitchen, charge of buckshot was
fred through the window, killing her
instantly.
Suspicion naturally rested on Buzzell,
and he was tried, but acquitted from
lack of convicting evidence. Last spring
several barns of persons who testified
against Buzzell were burned by incen.
diary fires, and. as suspicion pointed tc
Cook, who had worked for Buzzell, b.
was arrested Saturday, when he made g
clean breast, not only of the arson but
also of the murder of Susan Hanson
He declares that, while he fired the fata
shot. Buzzell was the instigator, that ht
offered him $500 for doing it and tina
he stood by his side at the window, and
when Cooks heart failed him threatened
to kill him if he did not fire.
Buzzell and his wife have been arrest
ed, and also Jonathan Sanborn. Chairman
of the county commissioners, as az &C
cessory. An interesting legal question
arises as to the disposition of Buzzell
as by statute, a man cannot be tried
second time for the same offence. an
some think he can be tried only as a
accessory to the arson case. There
! also some doubt as to the course to
taken with Cook, as Buzzell cannot b
convicted as accessory to the murder Q
, arson without Cooks turning states e,
idence, which would exempt him frol
, the penalty for murder.-SpranqJfel
