At meeting of those interested in
the financial prosperity of the church
here, held Dec. %, it was voted to
adopt the weekly offering system for
the coming year. The plan is similar
to that in use at the Congregational
churches of st. Johnsbury, with the ex-
ception that the offerings are to be used
only for home expenses money for
missionary purposes being raised as
heretofore. This is the first year that
the church has not received aid from
the sustentation fund, and it is felt to
be necessary that all should do their
best.
The st. Johnsbury Academy Glee
Club were fortunate last Friday eve
ming in bringing so much of an audi
ence with them, as the weather did not
permit large attendance from this
village. The singers were vigorously
cheered, and at the close of the concert
the st. Johnsbury friends patronized
the supper-room of our Ladies' Society,
and added substantially to the receipts,
which were over $50.
The average attendance of the Sab
bath school for last year was 994. A.
S. Laughlin was reelected superin-

Good deeds are contagious. Two
or three boys on Summer street began
last winter to keep the snow from the
walk in front of their fathers places,
and now the thing is getting fashion
able, and we see it is done in all parts
of the village. This gives a good wide
path for pedestrians, and they will vote
the boys thanks.

Mr.. Earle of the Morrisville Citizen,
has been i'll for some time, but from the
following squib since his recovery, we
judge he made good use of his time
while secluded from the wicked world :
DOty, our depot master, has gone to
matchmaking. He has fox, grey
squirrel, a chipmunk, an owl and a
partridge, all preserved and labelled.
Each one he intends to represent some
thing in our political wheel. The fox
represents Sammy Tilden, who is cum
ming but thievish; the grey squirrel
stands for old Zach Chandler who so
frequently gets ''corned;" the chip
munk represents Hiram Atkins, as it is
all whisk and chatter and blab-one
end going all the time, and it don't
make a bit of difference which end it
is; the owl represents the Supreme
Court while the partridge shows what
an awful sight of drumming" the Re-
publican Party has had to go through
with to keep the breath of life in it.

notices, thus describes the one he
looked at: 1t VAS written on white
paper, around the edges of which was

words "60l," and the written matter
was to the effect to leave town within
