The third course contained parts OF
church history In "honey,d lines OF
rhyme" and was intended presumably to
tickle the intellectual palate of those not
likely to be otherwise pleased. The author
goes for the church with great plainnees
Of speech" and accuses her Of not knowing
as much about astronomy a Peter Parley's
geography and numerous notifying delin-
quencies.
Altogether the banquet seems to have
been one where anybody could sit and be
satisfied, those who resd and think and
wink tor Themselves In spiritual things aud
those whose religious opinions are stereo-
typed and who, like one Of the Rev. Mr..
Muray's deacons, prefer ham sandwiches
to beef on the ground thst ham is Bible
word. n. M. T.

Another family Is mother and FIVE
daughters. The children are all but one

Castleton claims the oldest and the best
drummer in Vermont, He is little short
OF eighty years of age, and he beat the
tenor drum for the Castleton artillery COM
pany when 1t was commanded by the late
Capt. William Sanford, between the years
1920 and 1926.
Our next famous drummer Ia Mr.. Chan
cey Baxter, man over seventy years old.
His'last appearance in public with his drum
was at the decoration day ceremonies here
in 1876, with Streeter's drum corps He
was tor thirty years one of the most skill

Two of our most intelligent Catholic
brethren went on q mission of Ave miles,
recently, expressly for the purpose of sign
ing Father O'Carrolls temperance pledge,
one of them for ten and the other for five
| years; and still another one IS contem.
plating seriously going and doing likewise
at an early day. Their noble example is
eminently worthy of imitation.
Will G. harrington, young Wilder o.
Rupert, and Hiram johnson Of this town
were the first tenters of the season at LAX,
Bomoseen. They enjoyed themselves
hugely for week or ten days, fishing
hunting. bathing, sailing, roaming, eating
and drinking. They concluded their festi
vi,ies Saturday at the Hubbardton centen
NAL, and they considered it an exceeding
fitting finale.
One of our new villagers was indignan
Wednesday morning and went 90 far as Il
say that the fourth of July in twenty year
would be forgotten and no more though
or talked about than any other day, JUS
because he woke up without hearing or see
ing cannon booming, bells ringing, drum
beating, bayonets glistening, flags stream
ing and men shouting. By the way, III
morning of the fourth was as silent as mid
night, but long before shutdown such scene
of dissipation and decentralization was neve
witnessed by one who has spent forty -eigt
fourths 10 Castleton.
