The ADJUTANT GENERALsHP-ln view of the
appointment Of General James S. Peck, now ad-
jutant and inspector general of the state, post
master in this village, the point is raised whether,
in the event of his undoubted confirmation as
postmaster, he can legally continue to hold his
state Office The state constitution provides that
no person "holding any office Of profit or trust,
under the authority Of congress, shall be eligible
to any appointment in the legislature, or to hold
ing any executive or judicial office under this
state Is the adjutant generalship an executive
Office within the meaning OF the constitution? If
this question is decided in the affirmative, the
governor will have to select new adjutant gen.
eral when the senate has passed upon the presi-
dents nominations. Colonel T. S. Peck OF Bur
lington is the most conspicuous candidate for the
contemplated succession. Services rendered, bust
ness abilities and his energetic habit of body and
mind, strongly mark him for the position II he
wants IL

CABoT.-Fast day services were held at the
Congregational church last Friday, Rev. B. S.
Adams, the pastor, preaching the sermon. The
audience was small, but all who listened to the
sermon pronounced 1t an able effort. The list
ers are progressing finely with their work People
come square to the mark, and then say they feel
relieved. E, There is an unusual amount OF sick
ness in town at the present time. W. p. Whitte,
proprietor OF the Wnooski Hotel, and Mrs. Jesse
Morse, are both down with pneumonia, and at
present are in critical condition. DIR. Warren

iberia. He attended upon Orlando Gibbs, who

sumed labor and is now doing well. The weather
during the time was about as severe as any we
have had the past winter. 81 Easter is to be OBJ
served at the Congregational church next Sab

HARDwIcK.-Two persons united with the
Methodist church here at the quarterly service on
Sunday last, and sixty partook OF the sacramental
service. Robins first made their appearance
here April 9th; other spring birds have not ap.
peared as yet, being later than usual. Sur
face indications point to the erection Of suitable
depot here the present season. Railroad officials
are said to have become ashamed Of the disgrace
full and dilapidated hove in use here. We hope
it is SO, for it may save the necessity Of applying
to the courts to compel the company to furnish
suitable station accommodations Plans have
been furnished our local builders, and bids
solicited for the work, which indicates that some
thing is to be done. =. William Bowers has sole
his harness-making business to Ed. Wakefield

Fast Day.

Fast day services last week, we Judge from ap-
pointments reported before and services noted
after, were generally observed throughout the
state In the majority Of towns and villages
where there are two or more congregations, the
congregations united meeting in one house OF
worship Thus was II In Burlington, where the
Congregational congregations Of College street
and wnoosk Avenue united with the Methodist,
meeting In the Methodist house, sRev. DR.. Bras
tow preaching. but each pastor taking some part
in the service In Montpelier, Also the Baptist
Congregational and Methodist united in Bethany,
the Congregational house, the Baptist pastor taxi
ing the main part of the service and the others
assisting. We have noted many such united SER
vices in different parts OF the state. The dis
courses also that we have seen reported were Of n
grave, practical and religious character, rather
than political and social, as Is often the case on
these special occasions. That Of DIR. Brastow at the
Methodist church and Rev. L. G. Ware at the Uni
tartan are good examples OF their character Mr.

The Atlanta Exposition.

Our estimable townsman, Mr.. Charles T. sabin,
has accepted the superintendency Of construction
and motive power OF the International Cotton Ex-
position to be held in Atlanta, Georgia. Mr..
sabin left Monday night for Philadelphia to meet
the managers Of this organization, and the duties
Of his position will ultimately take him to Atlanta.
This society was organized few months ago for
the purpose Of advancing not only the cultivation
OF cotton in the southern states, but silk, wool,
flax, hemp jute and all textile fabrics everywhere,
and tobacco culture will also receive liz fostering
care. It is well-known fact among dealers that
an immense percentage Of the cotton crop Is rem
dered comparatively worthless by the sovenly
manner in which 1t is cultivated ginned and baled.
It is said that 80 900 bales are now in New York 80
full OF dirt and gravel that Its value is merely
nominal. Edward Atkinson, Esq, Of Boston, a
prominent and practical political economist, re-
Gently delivered lecture In Atlanta, in which the
attention OF the south was sharply called to their
sloveny and defective methods Of cotton culture
and OF harvesting and marketing the crop His adj
dress set his auditors to thinking, and this pro-
posed Atlanta Exposition is one OF the results Of
his plain and practical talk Senator Brown Of
Georgia is president, and H. l. Kimball, Conuec-
ticut man. president OF the Atlanta Cotton Factory
is drector-general. An efficient organization has
been perfected and an ample capital subscribed
the principal part Of which has been taken in
northern and eastern cities. It Is essentially a
carpetbag enterprise, such as, with " free ballot
and fair count" will give the south n measure
Of production and prosperity such as she never
dreamed Of even in the pamest days of slavery.

WE feel that we are doing the public favor in
calling their attention particularly to Hoods Sar
saparilla. This is not patent medicine, but is a
proprietary article possessing real curative prop
critics, and its effects upon the blood very pos
tive. Spring debility biliousness, dyspepsia and
all troubles caused by impure blood readily yield
to this excellent medicine. We think those who
give it trial for that out of sorts feeling from
which so many suffer and is peculiar to this sea-
