The Savings Bank.

We think the managers of the Pas
sumpsic Savings Bank may be con-
graduated on the showing they make
in another column, of its financial con-
dition. During the past two years,
when the bottom has fallen out of so
many institutions that were supposed
to be perfectly solvent, this bank has
constantly improved its financial con-
dition, and to-day it stands better than
at any period during the last two or
three years. Its dividends to those who
have been investors for five years,
amount to over seven per cent, and it
now has surplus of over $4,000.
Considering there are no taxes on this
property, it will be seen that there has
been few investments so profitable.

Another Disgraceful Affair.

On Friday evening last, one Charles
Chase of this place. 1S years old
hired team of Bryant to go to Pad
dock village. He obtained the COM
pany of Shepard girl from Maple
street, and together they met Charles
II. Prebles and Il fourteen-years-ol old
Bonett gill at Paddock village, where
they all partOok of liquor procured by
the BOnett girl on a physicians order,
but under false pretenses, of liquor
agent Humphrey. They then all got
into single buggy and drove north,
reaching Lyndon Centre hotel about ten
OF eleven o'clock at night. Here they
remained through the night. In the
morning they procured more liquor in
Lyndon, and about the middle of the
day all but the Shepard girl started to-
wards home; she had been captured by
some Lyndon parties. Arriving at St.
JOhnsbury Centre, Prebles and the Bo-
nett girl got out and started south on
foot, while Chase drove the team home
About this time police officer Randall
started out in search of these excursion
lists, and early in the evening discovered
Prebles and the girl in an unoccupied
house half way to the Centre. He took
them both, together with Chase, to Jail.
On Monday, Chase had an examination
on charge of intoxication. He was fined
SIS and costs, which, as his counsel add
vised him to stand trial, necessitating
the calling of witnesses from distance,
etc, amounted to $24.96; in default of
which he was recOmmitted to Jail.
On Tuesday, Prebles plead guilty to
furnishing liquor to parties at Lyndon,
and was fined $40 and costs, amounting
to $25.36; and by turning out his team
to Mcleod, the fine was paid. Nina
Bonett plead guilty to obtaining liquor
of agent Humphrey under false pre-
lenses, and sentence was deferred. We
understand she will be sent to the Re-
form School. She testified that Prebles
furnished her the money to buy the
liquor with.

OBITUARIES.
In Monroe, n. H., Feb. a. at the residence of her
sOn,-Mr. Edward Emery-Mrs. Eleanor Carleton
in the ninety-seventh year of her age.
Mrs. Carleton became a resident of Monroe, then
called Lyman, in 1904. Her first marriage with
Mr.. Caleb Emery, of the early citizens of that
town. This ancient couple early became interest
ed in the Christian religion, and united with the
Congregational Church of Barnet and Lyman in the
spring of 1917, the church having been organized
the previous November This organization finally
came to worship at Barnet and McIndoe's Falls.
Mrs Carleton was one of the number who formed
a separate church at barnet in 1885, of which she
remained a member until her death. She was the
last of the original members of the old Barnet and
Lyman church, having maintained her relation
with visible believers for the unusually long peri
cd of sixty-one years.
Those living who knew her longest ago,
speak of her interest in the Redeemer's Kingdom,
an amiability which seems always to have re-
NAMED, and an interest which seems never to have
faltered. When the infrmity of years had pre-
vented active participation in social and religious
affairs, her agreeable ways continued and her heart
was still with her church and its welfare. One of
the best of mothers is missed by her family. A
her membership. She died as abe had lived-in
the Christian faith. She has left record to con-
firm the Scripture-"The memory of the just is
blessed"
In Hardwick, March 16, Of typhoid fever Hattie
W. Bridgman, aged IS years.
Miss Bridgman was q lady of superior mind, and
was much beloved by all who knew her. Retiring
in her manners, she was most esteemed by those
who knew her best. She possessed those qualities
of soul and spirit that greatly endeared her to her
friends. She intelligent, cultivated, warm
hearted, and wholly unselfish in her nature. For
getting self she lived for others in the truest
and was always happiest in doing good to Others
She was a successful teacher and several publica
tons from her pen evinced her gift for elegant
writing. She sister to Ida and Ina, whose fine
readings have delighted many in this section of
Vermont in the recent months Her life was beau
ful and her death full of Christian faith and trust
She will be greatly missed in the circle where she
moved. After loving, useful life she went peace
fully to her early rest and reward.
''She died in beauty,-like the snow
On flowers dissolved away;
She died in beauty-like a star
Lost on the brow of day"
Her funeral was attended at the church in Hard
wick on Monday, Rev. Mr.. Tillotson of st. Johns
bury officiating by her special request. Con-.
