A FAvoRrrE Tore WITH ANCIENT,
WRITER'S was the seven wonders Of th
world. These have come down to us
embalmed in the eloquence of the poet
and historian. One of the wonders Of
our time is that great Fashion Journal
-Andrews' Bazaar. Six years ago
launched on che sea of journalism,
where have been so many ship-wrecks,
to-day with q subscription list of 49,
600, it stands prc-eminent, the ac-
knowledged standard of American
fashion, absolutely reliable on all mat
tiers pertaining to the toilet, superbIy
| illustrated, aud brimful of chastc and
brilliant literature. Andrews Bazaar
was founded in Cincinnati, but the
great demand for it in the East has
compelled its publisher, to establish his
main offices in New York, where Its
Fashion, Editorial and Literary De-
partments are now conducted.
1t is published simultaneously in
both cities. For 81 per annum every
lady can have this Invaluable fashion
mentor. Every yearly subscriber is
presented free with soc worth of An
drews Bazaar Patterns; and notwith,
standing these wonderfully low figures.
with the January number the publisher
will give his new yearly subscribers a
supplement sheet of designs worth $40.
Every lady should send a years SUBJ
scription, or 10c. for sample copy, to

MIR. VIM. Turner died at his resi-
dence last evening.
Mrs. J. Holcomb, aged eighty..twt
wears, had cancer taken from the back
of her hand, last week, by DIR. Wood
ward, of Brandon, assisted by his son
Mr.. EDIToR: me through the
columns of the Register to make a few
remarks in regard to the Home at Bur-
lington. How often do we hear con-
temptuous filings and sighting words
spoken at random at institutions where
charity is called upon for its support.
The home for destitute children in Bur-
lington is one. Those little friendless
ones, many of them orphans, others
with poverty-stricken parents, born
] into the world unable TO care for them
lSelves, and what shall be done with
them. 1t is said by some unprincipled
ones, Chuck them into the poorhouse."
But that is not wise. We are well
aware the so-called poorhonse is nest
of evil; unlike il the Home. Every
means Is taken while the child is under
its charge 10 instill into the young and
tender mind that which is good, and is
it not the duty of every one to aid in
their keeping until some home can be
found for them? In looking over the
reports we noticed the strictest econ
omy is used in the disposition of means
placed in their hands, and while the
state makes no appropriation for its
support, it is left wholly to charity, and
people need have no hesitancy in send
ing any donations. We often hear the
complaint that 10 acknowledgement
was made concerning certain contribu-
tons. 1t must be remembered the
Catholics have a like institution in
Burlington, and often packages improp-
erly marked fall into their hands which
are never acknowledged. For six
years the ladies of South Cornwall
have met together i'll circle semi
monthly for the purpose of manufac-
turing articles for the destitute, most
of which have been sent to Burlington,
and in no instance have they failed in
getting thankful acknowledgement of
its receipt.
Not long since, Mrs. DR.. Bond, chair
man of the circle, wrote the matron
inquiring what would be acceptable.
In her absence it was answered by the
Vice President, Mrs. Shedd. We take
liberty 10 give her answer.
BURLINGTON, Dec. Is, 1879.
Mrs. BOND Dear Madam Anything in the
line of clothing is acceptable. Some things they
need more than others; for instance, they are
very much in need of boys clothing. sheets and
pillowcascs, also towels. coarse and stout, for
boys use. Any kind Of farm produce is always
needed, such as vegetables, potatoes. onions. but
ter cheese, etc, in short, anything that can be
made useful in any family is especially in this
one consisting of a hundred persons.
(signed) Mrs. j. A. sHEDD, Vice President.
BY this may be seen that nothing
comes amiss, ana as the long cold win
ter is upon us IL is well for every one
to cast in their mite TO lessen the bur-
den of those who are more Immediately
connected in caring for the poor. B.

BRIDPORT.

Mrs. j. L. Crane, whose death IL
noticed in the proper column, was q
Daughter of Stephen p. Joslin of Waits
lfeld, Vt. She came to this town to re-
side immediately after her marriage,
nearly ten years ago. During this time
her sprightly and afTcctionate DISPOSE
ton, especially her earnestness as a
christian, have won for her the deep in
terest and respect of many hearts.
Those who knew her best priced her
most highly. Her christian experience
was of no common type. Her last ill
ness, with which she struggled hero
icaly for years, developed unusual full
ness and richness of christian character.
She was bound by the strongest ties to
a home circle of brothers and sisters.
To her husband she was noble sup
port and true helper in all his plans of
usefulness. Her interest in the prog
ress of Christs' kingdom around her
was intense though unobtrusive. The
loss of such christian in the commun-
ity where she lived seems utterly ire
parable. Only yesterday she was here,
with her keen eye, clear bright thoughts,
and constant prayers. Now she is not.
The New Jerusalem, with its gates of
pearl and streets of gold, upon which,
in her last days, her thoughts dwelt and
loved to linger, along with thousands
of other bible students throughout our
land, this is all present and blessed
reality with her now. ellis servants

viz, the brothers Elan and Norman
Upper, Esq, the former in town about
eighty-six and tine latter eighty-five
years. Mr.. S. Hendricks was extern

there are now many mills running of
his construction. He was q quiet,

and i believe does not leave MI enemy
behind. Two sons and daughter are
left to mourn his loss. A large con-
course of people gathered at the church
on the 18th inst. to pay their last res

eight weeks since.

We denied this in an editorial

the Governor to substantiate this
charge, but it was not done.

believe when a man makes such a
grave charge as this against even a

privilege of proving it. We deny
most emphatically the truth of this

for the proof.

WHAT HAS THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY DONE FOR TEN
NESSEE?

There are a large number Of
Democrats in the State of Tennes-
see who have no sympathy with the
prevailing policy of their party in
reference to State politics. We
would like, in a spirit Of candor and
friendship, to suggest to them a few
thoughts apropos s.to the present
state of affairs. Your real leaders,
men in whom you have confidence,
are now occupying back seats, and
exercise very little influence upon
legislation or on the policy of the
State administration. Who of them
did Gov. Marks advise with prior
to writing his message? We would
like to know. We venture the as
sertion that he took the advice of
no one who enjoys the confidence
and respect of the better portion of
the party.
What has the Democratic party
done for Tennessee, that our
people should follow its leaders,
without asking questions ? What
is our present condition! We
were once prosperous. Is it
no fault of the Democratic party
making ali uRR88 t afi8w88gg2 IuAf After G
Blunders of a Republican admins
tration, the chief of which was
doubtless the rather indiscriminate
manner in which State aid was
granted to certain insolvent rail
roads, is not our present depressed
financial condition due, almost ems
tirely to the recklessness, ineffi-
cheney and corruption of Demo
cratic administrations
For the purpose of refreshing
our memories, let US glance briefly
at the past, not to stir up Bit
terness and strife, but for instruc
ton. In 1861 we had Democratic
Governor and a Democratic Legis-
lature. We were getting along in
the world prosperously. Our taxes
were not burdensome. Our people
were free and independent-except
the cOlOred slaves. Any man who
was disposed to work could make a
good living. But those in authority
were not satisfied, and because
Abraham Lincoln was elected Pres
ident, they wanted to tear down the
flag. Then, we had State bank,
with assets amounting to more than
eleven millions. We had a school
fund of over two millions and
half. After having determined
that the people of Tennes-
see should go with the
Southern Confederaey aolens vOzen8,
that we should be subjugated
by the cotton States, our Governor
commenced drawing upon the State
bank for funds to aid the rebellion
and bulldozing other banks that were
not willing to give the aid demanded. |
In February, 1862, Grant went
10 DOnelson, and our Governor and
Legislature were seized suddenly
With an impulse to leave Nashville.
A pet theory "that one Southern
nan could whip ten Yankees" was
lnceremOniOusly exploded in
narvelously short time. The State
Government wanted special train:
n engine was fired up. The assets
f the State bank were nailed up in
.egs and boxes, dumped into freight
ars and went meandering "away
own South in Dixie" The Gov
rnor and members of the Legisla-
1re hastily seized their grip-sacks, !
OF daring to speak above their
reath, jumped into the cars i
-hich were in waiting, blew out the S
gifts and started for Memphis as
lst as a locomotive could carry them. '
