twenty feet, and the passenger car was precipi-
tated upon them. The engineer, Myron j. Pattee

Colchester Centre Vt, on Thursday. The fire
man fell under the wreck and was instantly killed
His body was not recovered until late hour the
next day. An engineer formerly employed ON the
New London was also killed None of the pas
sengen were injured. The washout occurred
within AN hour after the track inspector had
passed the spot and the accident seems to have
been unavoidable. MIR. Pattee had been in the
employ of the Central Vermont railroad as fire
man and engineer, for ten years, and served in
the Vermont cavalry three years during the war.
The fireman, George Arnold, was son OF Fenelon
Arnold, of West Dummerston, and a nephew of

HIGGINS
"Eureka" Salt

made In Cheshire, England few miles from where the
Ashton salt, esteemed highly, is made Formerly
the Ashton brand the leading one, but of late the
quality has constantly deeroraed while Higgins has been
improved and at the Centennial Exhibition Higgins Prize
Medal brand awarded the only medal given for the
best and purest salt The Eureka" brand differs from
the Prize Medal in being finer in grain, and sifted 1t j.
the only salt put up that is fted, taking out all hard
Jumps pan scale and other impurities The salt thus pre-
pared ia in original crystals not ground, but Of uniform
size and very fine. 1t Is the only salt put up in pure
linen sacks, which, for domestic worth than
the difference in cost between this and other brands
Higgins Eureka" Salt costs one-half more to max,
than any other salts and for dairy is by far the best
We wish dairymen would step into our store and test If
with other brands. We have yet failed to convince
those who have thus tested that is all CLAIM
1t to be- and, better yet, have yet to find who
has used it who does not speak highly Of it.

State Teachers Association.

The twenty-eghth annual meeting Of the Yer
mont State Teachers Association began at Barre
Tuesday evening" President NJ. H. Buckham
president of the association, in the chair Mr.
Henry Priest Of Barre in behalf of the citizens of
Barre, welcomed the association to the hospital-
ties of the town. Barre regarded it an honor to
receive and entertain such body President
Buckham in word of response to the welcome
sketched the beginning and growth of the assoca-
ton. 1t was small, but strong from the beginning
because 1t was guided by strong men. 1t entered
from the first upon great work and had wrought
nobly, making for itself noteworthy history.
Twenty years ago the association met in Barre
At that meeting the foundation Of the present
school system of Vermont was laid President
Buckham suggested that history of the assoca-
ton should be prepared as one Of the exercises OF
tn next meeting
President b. then addressed the association
upon the teachers calling and qualifications,
maintaining that the teacher stood Mt the head
Of his brethren in any profession, and required
combination of the rarest qualifications for his
work The address was mastery and highly in
structiye, received in the greatest favor by the
large audience. We refrain from any report of
it because we hope to give it to readers entire
or nearly so, in the next CHRONICLE.
After the address the President introduced Miss
j. f. IIodgdon, of Concord n H., who enter
tanned and instructed the association by some ex-
celent reading
Rev Dr. McCosh, President of Princeton Col
lege well known as one of the leading educators
of our country and the age, was present and con-
scented to address the association at a quarter
before nine o'clock Wednesday morning
The opening meeting of the association is the
largest for many years If not the largest yet held
There were three Presidents present and on the
stage, President McCosh Buckham and IIuburt,
and many of the leading teachers of the state.

EXAMINE AND BE CoNvINCED.-It will require
very poor critic to decide upon examination that
the Steinway and Chckerng pianos and Mason &
Hamin organs, as now improved, afford the very
best investment that can now be offered The
observation the country will prove that these
instruments, wherever found, afford monument
of integrity, and are standard advertisement OF
their peculiar merit. G. W. Wilder invites atten-
ton to a splendid stock from the manufacturers
warerooms, which are now being offered at the
