New York, to hold musical convention
in Montpelier at an early day. The plan
so fitting and appropriate is not given up
They only await the completion of the

formally announced. Meantime they pur-
pose, provided sufficient interest is shown
in the scheme, to hold similar meetings in
Newbury. Windsor and Woodstock. and
so celebrate anniversaries of conventions
held in these places in 1910, 1871. and
1912. Nothing definite can be said of these
SPLENDID schemes at the present time /;
much in fact nearly all, will depend upon
the interest shown by the local singers.
It can, however. positively be stated that
if the conventions are held, Mr.. johnson,
who is an able musician and experienced
conductor of conventions, will be present,
and also three Cheneys Of the celebrated
Cheney family. Moses E., Simeon P. and
Joseph. Any interest which singers feel
in this matter can find expression in the
local papers, and the response will be
awaited with interest.

COPPER MINING IN VERMONT. TT he
Ely copper mine, in the town of that
name, is owned and worked by the Yer
mont copper company, whose capital is
100000. Over TO years have elapsed
since the first discovery of copper ore at
this place, and yet the yield Of copper was
never so large as it is at present. The
depth of the mine is now $500 feet on an
angle of about % degrees. The mine has
been worked q years, and has about 20
smelling stacks and 80 roasting sheds.
This mine, according to statistics of 1879
is next to the largest producing copper
mine in the United States, the Calmet and
Hecla only exceeding it. 1t yielded last
year l4,O00,0O0 pounds, against 10000 in
1854. The company employ about 900
hands. This company has such faith in
the mineral resources of the vicinity that
two years ago they made purchases Of
partially developed mines, in one of which
they are now working 800 men, hauling
the ore by teams to their smelling works,
II miles distant. There are other "show-
ings' in the vicinity equal and superior to
the Ely in the beginning.

Dr. i. 8. Spaulding.

Jacob S. Spaulding, Ii. D., principal oil
Barre academy, died suddenly OF heart
disease on Thursday last. He had attend
ed the funeral of Mrs. c. B. Townsend
the matron of his boarding house, and
went to the barn to harness his horse to
accompany the procession to Williams
town. where the remains were to be inter-
red. when he dropped dead.
Doctor Spaulding was born in Tewks-
bury, Mass, August %, 1911. When he
was about three years of age his father
removed to Temple, N H., where he re-
manned until he entered Dartmouth col
lege. at the age of twentY-six years.
Graduating from this institution in 1871,
he engaged in his chosen profession OF
teaching as principal of the academy at
Bakersfield, VT. August "a, 1911. the
thirtieth anniversary of his birth day,
he was married to Miss Mary w. Taylor
of Temple, N. II. 1t was to this noble
woman, who lives to mourn his sudden
death, that he owed the suggestion and
encouragement which awakened his desire
for liberal education and stimulated him
TO the endurance of those hardships and
overcoming those difficulties which he
found to oppose him in the way he had
chosen, and by which one possessed OF
less physical strength or moral courage
would have been dismayed.
In 1852 Doctor Spauding removed to
Barre to take charge of the academy then
Just completed, and has since remained
its principal, taking foremost rank among
the teachers Of the state. He was one of
the founders of the Vermont state teac hers
association, and for many years its presi-
dent. In 1869 Middlebury college con,
ferred upon him the degree of Ill. ID.
He was chosen by the citizens of Barre
member of the constitutional convention
of 1870, and in 1876 was elected to repre-
sent the town in the state legislature serv-
ing as chairman Of the house committee
on education.
He was a man of good ability and great
industry, an inveterate student always
devoted to the interests of education. lie
was magnanimous, large hearted, purely
unselfish and generous even to a fault. He
seemed to live solely for the good of
others. In his death Barre loses its most
eminent and most public spirited citizen
and the teaching profession of the state
one of its most distinguished members.
The funeral was attended from the Con-
gregatenal church, of which he had been
for twenty years an acting deacon. The
church, which was tastefully draped with
symbols of mourning, was densely packed
with students and citizens who came to
pay their last tribute of respect to one
whom they so highly esteemed. The
sermon was preached by Rev. Leonard
Tenney, pastor of the church, and an
eulogy pronounced by President Buckham
of the U. V. NJ.
From the church n long procession Of
citizens with the students from the acade.
my, and the teachers and students of God
dard seminary followed the remains to
their last resting place in the village Gem
etery.
