the Methodist Episcopal Church Of

this DR.. Fuller sharply responds as

A nm for tse Relief OF Silver 0waers.


From the New York Tribune.
The Warner Silver bin contains
the worst features of the Bland bill
of 1873, which the Senate struck out.
and several new ones equally bad.
In fact it is much the most reckless
and dishonest measure On the subject
of the metallic currency that has been
seriously considered since the silver
craze struck Congress. And yet it
rolls along through the House With
pretty much the whole Democratic
party shouting and dancing around
it like so many heatheus of Timbue-
too worshippiBg a fetch. A bill that
is thoroughly vile and capable OF do
ing a vast amount Of mischief to the
credit end business of the country is
actually hailed end applauded as
though it were some msgical agency
of universal ~beBeicence.
The bill does not stop with turning
the government minis into free mon
ey mills, 20 coin eyerybody's bullion
without charge, paying opt in ex-
change for eighty-fonr cents worth
of metal . coin which people must
take for q dollar. 1t requires the
United States to go into the business
of maintaining free warehouses for
the silver Of the whole world. Any
body, whether be be American or
foreigner, is to have the right to
bring bis bullion to the United States
Treasury and demand that ii shall be
taken care Of without charge as long
as he chooses to leave it on deposit.
The Treasury is compelled to give
the depositor a certificate for q dol.
lar in return for an amouat Of bullion
now worth only eighty-tour cents 10
the markets Of the world. and to take
these certificates at per in payment
of taxes and customs dues.

marks at DR.. Carpenter recent reception, Dr. A.
p Grinne gave an interesting sketch of the Med
zeal Department of the University OF Vermont
He stated that when this department was revived,
and when DIR. Carpenters connection with it
began, twenty-six years ago. it had the first year
seuen students. The receipts Of the first term,
after paying necessary running expenses, amounted
to eight dollars, which sum was divided among
five persons, giving each professor SLIGO. At the
end of the first term three professors resigned. A
year or two later professor Kane) went off with
the funds of the college. Another professor
started, with 500 advanced by DIR. Carpenter, to
procure some subjects for dissection, and never
came back The college had last term one hun
bred and ten students. The private winter class
now numbers thirty. There is a prospect OF more
students next term than there are seats for them
in the Medical College building The net re-
cepts Of the college last year gave each professor
$1,000. 1t has sent forth, thus far, six hundred

bonds of matrimony, taking upon themselves a
solemn vow to love and cherish each other until
death should them part" Last Saturday, the
neighbors, relatives and friends, to the number
OF more than a hundred, assembled at the house
Of Mr.. Hanson to celebrate their anniversary In a
happy and appropriate manner. The friends
arrived ut an early hour and although the ee-
ments ragged hercey without there were happy
hearts within, and "a went merry as marriage
bell" Music, both vocal and instrumental, was
not lacking, and helped to give inspiration to the
evenings festivities At eight O'Clock Rev. Mr.
Spaford went through the formal ceremony OF
reunlung the happy couple in holy wedlock, after
which, an opportunity was given for congratulate
tions and bridal kisses and Of the latter the babies
received a liberal share. Miss Clara Martin COM
posed and reclted u very neat and appropriate
poem, After the reading Of the poem, the newly
married couple were escorted to the dining room,
where lay upon u very handsome extension table,
which WAS among the presents, the numerous
gifts Of their friends. The presentation was made
by Mr. Spaiford, with n few brief remarks, but
the bridegroom had lost all use Of language and
could only express his thanks with a bow and
smile, The next half hour was devoted to we'd
ding cake and coffee, aud at eleven O'Clock an
event which will long be remembered by all pres
ent vas brought To a close-the friends taking
then leave and expressing desire that che who
doeth ali things well " will give them u new lease
