InOCOSIdpAy.
The first annual meeting of the Pho
tographers' Association of America,
held at Chicago two months ago, was
an occasion of more than local interest.
One cannot look over carefully the re-
ports of this meeting as given in the
leading Photographic journals of the
country, without being impressed with
the growth of an art almost new in the
world, and yet one that has SO soon
taken a front rank among the arts.
But it was not our purpose to speak
particularly of this convention, but to
call attention to the matter and copy a
paragraph about one of our townsmen,
also one of the vice presidents of this
association. Mr.. Clifford had some of
his work at the exhibition at Chicago,
and we find the following notice in a
Baltimore journal, called the '.Pboto-
graphic Rays of Light"
D. A. Clifford, st. Johnsbury, VT.
This gentleman persevered with car
bon printing until his productions ex-
hibited rival Lambert's best specimens,
indeed they were the finest we have
yet seen, possessing all the best points
that are claimed for the chIOmotype.
They at the same time illustrate what
perseverance will accomplish to those
who, like Mr.. Clifford, are licences of
a process, but which others have laid
aside for the lack of proper effort nee
essary to secure success.

Sheffield,


The tragedy of last week was the all
absorbing and all-exciting topic for
many days, but it is hoped its effects
are dying out. The funeral of the ma
MAC and his victims was held at Vince
lock Hollow Thursday, Elder Hender-
son preaching the funeral discourse.
There is nothing known of the tragedy
additional to what the Caledonian print
ed last week. There are some surmises,
but they are only surmises. The atten-
ton of the people is turned somewhat
to the protection of the living. The
overseer of the poor undertook to take
VIM. Allen, an insane person, to Brat
tleboro, but the party where he board
ed objected, presumably because they
did not want to lose their boarder
Many people in this neighborhood
think it time all maniacs were put in a
safe place. Allen is not considered a
harmless lunatic; and if he was, expe-
rience has taught that the harmless in
sane are a good deal like an old gun
liable to ego Off if it isn't loaded.

beyond themselves. They are good,
worthy women, and Christians, but are
wholly unconscious of the degradation
and low estate of the negroes of the
South, the Indians of the West, the
slaves of Brazil, and the heather in the
countries more remote. We owe it to
these uninterested ones to arouse them,
and inform them, and bring them into
sympathy with this cause-not only for
the sake of their help, but for their own
good too.
Mrs. Richardson, formerly mission
airy in Turkey, gave an urgent request
for teacher for Broosa, which was fol-
lowed with prayer by Mrs. Colby.
In the afternoon Mrs. Lucas of India
gave a brief account of her school work,
and Mrs. Washburne of Constantinople,
an address of considerable length upon
the great changes wrought in that city
during the last 40 years. Now there is
much sympathy expressed openly with
missionary labors and education. She
also gave an account of the tConstanti-
nople Home" school of 80 pupils.
Mrs. Fuller, Cor. Secretary, gave
some pleasant extracts from missionary
letters, and Miss Hattie Savage of
Stowe, read very sprightly, stirring
paper entitled, Our Maidens' Work /;
after which an address of deep interest
by Mrs. Barnes closed the meeting.
Between the sessions of the meeting,
a choice and bountiful collation. was
served at Village Hall by the Wells
River ladies, to the large number pres
ent, and in the evening reception was
given by Mrs. Frank Deming at her res
idence.

At the 25th marriage anniversary of
DR.. and Mrs. James Lang of Marshall
town, Iowa, formerly of this town., the
event was noticed in paper published
in that city, and among the names of
the guests some 80 were recognized as
having ence lived in this community,
now residing in and about Marshall
town; and it is a pleasure to know
that they are all thrifty and prosperous,
possessing more than an average share
of the good things of this life, and are
laying up treasures that moth and rust
doth not corrupt. Aud in the same pa
per were some statistics showing the
means they have for education in that
state, that may interest some of the
readers of the Caledonian. Viz: Com
mon district schools in number, l0, 668 !;
private schools ia; academies l04 /;
for deaf and dumb l for blind /; re-
form 2; business colleges 8; colleges

which women vote on the question of
education.

We learn from one of his sons, that
Joseph Dow, formerly of Passumpsic,
and who went out to the Black Hills at
the time the excitement ragged about
that region, three or four years ago, is
now settled in Rockville, Dakota Ter
ritory, where he is running a store and
post Office
Last Saturday night, some one or
more persons came along at Judge
Parks's and carried away good lap
robe, a driving harness, and two whips.
1t is supposed that the same parties en-
tered the old hotel barn at Passumpsic,
where they rummaged around some,
but did no mischief. They were track
ed as far as Norrisville, and there all
trace of them was lost. .-
They also visited the store of Ora
Bishop at Passumpsic village, where
they broke in a window but could not
make an entrance on account of iron
rods which were across the windows.
They then tried to get in at the roll
way but did not succeed, but they did
succeed in leaving evidence by which
Mr.. Bishop feels sure he will be able to
bring them to justice.
