Leander Bonneville for short time and
intends to sell to him.
H. w. Libby is doing a good business
at his saw-mill this winter. There is
more lumber in his yard than there has
been before for many years.
The item last week to the effect that
Rev. H. p. Gushing intends to remove
to Montpelier, is wholly erroneous, Mr..
Cushing not intending any such action.
A certain man was seen to take a jug
of mOlasses out of Volney Smiths sleigh
last Saturday, while it was standing
under Goes shed. He can settle it by
returning jug and molasses to Goes
store.
The selectmen have been looking
over the dwelling house of the late
Sally Ladd, with a view of purchasing
it and converting into town-house.
If the town should purchase the build

would be money well invested.

The Series of Religious Meetings.


The meetings begun at the Free Bap-
fist church, under the leadership of Mr..
Jordan, had been so fully attended and
such degree of interest manifested,
that on Saturday last it was felt best to
continue them another week as union
movement; and on Monday they were
transferred to the North church, AS be-
ing a more roomy place, where they
have been held since. There have
been no very marked results, though
quite good number of persons have
expressed determination to live diff
ferent life, and the Church has been
warmed and quickened. Many are
looking for a more general awakening
May they not be disappointed.

Professionalism and Romanism in Italy


Professionalism and Romanism in Italy.
Rev. C. w. Gushing addressed large
audience at the South Church on Sab
bath evening on the abOve-named sub
ject, going quite infinitely into the his
tory of the country, civil and religious,
climate and soil, etc, ETC., and giving
view of the two forces at work in that
country for civil supremacy. He repre-
sents that the Pope is as determined as
ever that the Church shall have tenn
poral sway as of old, and only ac-
uuiesces in the religious tolerance which
has prevailed of late in that country
because he is obliged to. The speaker
gave much credit to the present king
of Italy, who welcomes Professionals III
his country, not because he believes I'D
their religion, but because he sees what
they do to help country in material
wealth. Italy, with climate and soil
unsurpassed with extensive sea coast
and the choicest harbOrs; with the rich
legacy left her by the Roman fathers,
foremost in art, science and CULTURE
is now degraded in the extreme. Owe
seventeen millions of her population OF
twenty eight millions, cannot read.
The people are the poorest of the poor !;
industry is stagnant; the average wages
of 80 laboring men in Rome who were
questioned, were only 81 cents Il day
and these men had families. The
Romish church has brought this people
down to this poverty and Ignorance
Professionals they bring education, in
dustry, and material wealth. Mr.. Cush
ing has lately returned from that coun
try, and he is now speaking in behal
of an undenominational society, the
/ headquarters of which are in Phila
delphia, and the object of which is t.
/ evening schools, where the peasantr,
and labOrers can come after their haze
day of toll, and learn to read. Th
r kingdom is free to such schools now
t and one is established right opposite
l the Pope's palace, where over 80 mel
e meet every evening for instruction
z Mr.. Gushing represents that the peopl
a are anxious to learn, and learn rapidly
. and that the field of labor is mos
$ promising. Mr.. Cushing's address wa
). very interesting and instructive, ant
Z. was listened to with the deepest in

The Story Of Thomas Hood.

Death and fame came to Thomas Hood
almost together. For twenty years he
had held his place among the rank and
file Of literature, earning thereby little
more than daily bread and the applause
that is but OF a moment, when in 1S43, the
Christmas number Of Punch electr; fled
its readers with the ssSong of the Shirt
Those wonderful verses went from news
paper to newspaper. The laurels reaped
by the author were, however, barren, and
the sunshine of celebrity had nothing
golden in its beams. With the new wear
was born an unlucky publication christ
ened Hoods Magasjne. AIisfortunes fell
thick upon both periodical and editor,
and ths flashes Of merriment" that the
latter still put forth came from a life
blackened with the thunderclouds of
sickness and calamity. BY May, Hood
was in sick-roonl, and as editorial apol-
ogy for non-continuance of a novel be
had commenced, sent forth drawing Of
''a plate of leeches, blister, cup of
water guel, and three labeled Walls" All
the rest of that year, and far into the
spring OF the next, the light Of life still
hicke-ed on, sometimost burning up
brightly enough for the sick man to re
sumo his pen, sometimes all but fading
away into eternity. II .am so near
deaths door," said Hood, on one occasion
"that can almost fancy hear the creak-
ing of the hinges" The SO OF May, ,lS45,
saw the door gently opened for him, and
as quietly as tired child falls asleep
this gentle spirit passed away from
earth.
