SAD SUICIDE AT WEST ENosBuRGH.-
Early Monday morning Miss Edith B.
Maynard, daughter of S. B. Maynard of
West Enosburgh, aged only seventeen
years, committed suicide by hanging.
She had been teaching school all summer
and was in good health. She told her
mother that morning that she did not
feel well, and would 60 and lie down.
Not returning search was made for her
and she was found hanging in the shed.
She had taken the precaution 10 tie her
hands behind her, and had stood on a
chair, which she kicked from under her.
She had been dead about three hours
when found. No cause is assigned for tile
act save perhaps i'll health. 1t is n very
bad case indeed, and the afflicted house
hold has the heartfelt sympathy offrieuds.

society will be held at its rooms, in the
state capitol. in Montpelier, on Tuesday,

CHARLES w. PORTER, Sec'y.
SEMINARY HILL.-The attendance this
fall has been unusually large an d the
term, which is half through this week, has
been very pleasant. The societies are
about equal in numbers, and the lyceums
are well sustained and have been very in
structive. At the last meeting the ques.
ton, " Reso'red, That the democratic par
ty has done more for the United States than
the republican party has DONE" was dis
cussed by Atkins and George. alfirma-
tive; and Batchelder and Barney, negative.
After long discussion it was decided by
board of decision in favor of the mega
yive. Following the discussion there was
music by Miss Barrett, and then the choos.
ing of officers for the last half of the term.
Mr.. Deter was chosen president, Mr..
Adams and Misses Piper and Clark execu-
tive committee, and Miss Barrett secreta-
~. There will be no lyceum this week as
the mid.term reception occurs Friday
night.
Prof. Giles and a number of the students
went on the excursion last week through
the White Mountains and reported very
fine ride.
Thursday and Friday of this week occur
the mid-term examination. There are
only two examinations this term, instead
of four as last term.
The graduating class of 80 now number
nineteen, and there are others who are not
attending this term who will undoubtedly
join the class in the winter or spring
term and make the number twenty-three
to twenty-five.

HANLAN-ROsS-COURTNEY,

New York. August 90 1879.
To THE EDIroR OF THE HEnALD:-
correspondent of the HERALD scouts the idea
that Riley or Ross would prove any match for Han
Ian in a sculling race. and points, by way of evil
dence, to the Canadian regattas of last summer. in
which all three competed. As to Riley's merits have
nothing to say, but it to that Ross claims
to recognition oarsman are not to be disposed
of 80 summary. 1t is that in his three encoun.
tiers with Hanlan he off second BEST but lot us
look at the circumstances. In their first match race
on Toronto Bay it will be remembered that the
water was rough that Ross positively declined
TO row, but the referee ovorruling his objec-
tons he started under protest. and. OF course.
lost. Their second race last year
the Kcnnebecasis equally undccisve. Ross boat
upsetting when about mile and an eighth Of the
course had been covered and tho positions of the
men about even. 1t is worthy OF remark here
that the time made for that distance IL the most re-
markable in boating annals. In the Barrie regatta
it is well known that Ross led Hanlan and all tho
others to the turning point; but here owing to his
mistaking his buoy. ho was obliged to row fully
twenty lengths more than tho others. and notwith-
standing he turned fifth, he came home second, but
a couple of lengths behind Hanan, Hosner this
occasion coming in third. Had it not been for this
unfortunate mistake there is no doubt that Ross
would have beaten Hanlan. and this opinion is
shared By all who witnessed the contest Since that
time Ross has had the advantage of q thorou ugh
training under the best trainers and oarsinen of
England, and, notwithstanding Hanlans triumph
over Elliott is looked upon by English sportsmen.
who are excellent judges in such matters. Us tho
coming man.
As to Courtncy's ability to beat Hanlan am not
40 sanguine. 1t must be remembered that in the
Lachine contest the friends OF the former had
siderable difficulty ia raising their share Of the
stakes and that the amount actually put up was con-
siderably less than the sum agreed upon. III his
friends have much confidence in his skill
why not challenge Hanlaa? The fact IL that, while
desrous seeing another contest between the men,
they afraid to risk penny the result. but will
allow the stakes to be the premium offered by any
town which may desire 10 have the take place
