Preaching versus Practice.

The st. Adams Messenger calls upon two law
yers from Orleans county who spoke long and
loud during the debate ION the tax law and re-
hearsed the enormty Of hiding personal property,
with great force and earnestness, to rise and sub
init themselves to catechism as follows: "Did one
Of them go to St. Johnsbury few days ago and
put So, 900 into the savings bank on the sly And
is it true that his boy went with him. and the next
day told about it to the neghbors and they stirred
the listers up? And when the representative
made out his list did he forget that 1000 until the
listers reminded him OF the sum which he thought
was lying so snug in the bank? They do say that
the taxable property Of the largest town in Or
leans county had Its list increased in this way,
and it was all due to little boy. We also have
heard that the list of another town in the same
county would be larger by 5000 had not its rep
resentative carefully invested that sum in United
States 6s due in July, some time during the
month of March, for these are not taxable. These
are the facts as they come to us. Probably thou
sand other taxpayers have done the same thing,
but they were not of those who were such ardent
advocates of the new law In the legislature. Per
,.-ps tho siiogauon Is unfounded. At any rate,
the floor is open for somebody to rise and ex.
plain" II the savings bank at St. Johnsbury, OF
any other institution Of similar character, has
received deposits from individuals who have
thereby sought to evade the tax law, it has made
itself an accomplish in the evasion, and has beer
guilty of gross perversion Of the object Of iti
charter this course is shared in to any extent by
similar institutions in the state they will become
fit subjects for restrictive legislation in the future

The written examination will begin Mt haf-past
eight o'clock A. Nj, and must be concluded at
half-past twelve p. NJ All persons designing to
teach In the common schools In any town in said
county during this school year, who do not hold
county certificate, must obtain certificate OF
their qualification from the superintendent OF the
town In which they are to teach, at the public ex
animation, as provided by law. Each candidate
will provide his own writing material and will use
foolscap paper. An examination in reading will
be held, and will consist In reading such selec-
tons as the superintendent may require and in
answering such questions as he may ask The
marking will be the same as on any one OF the
subjects OF the written examination.
The following standard Of qualification was
adopted at the annual meeting Of town superin-
tendents held in this village on the 9th instant;
That any person entitled to certificate to teach
a common school in any town in this county dur
ing the coming year must pass an oral examina-
ton satisfactory to the town superintendent, and
must attain an average Of seventy per cent on the
subjects Of the written examination, consisting OF
Arithmetic Including metric SYSTEM, Grammar
Geography, History, Civil Government and Read

rance that they be examined in different paper;

TAKING THE LIsT.-As far as heard from, the
work OF the listers throughout the state Is pro-
ceedng very satisfactorily, and as general thing
Taxpayers are reported as facing the music in n
manly fashion. Public sentiment strongly sup
ports the general principles Of the law, however it
may be criticised in some of its minor and unm-
portant details. The Reformer says Brattleboro
shows very large increase in its list in one in
stance a man returning $4,000, who has hereto
fore only paid poll tax. The Free Press says
from present indications the increase in taxable
personal property will be immense in Burlington
In Wells River and Bradford the listers resigned
and new boards were chosen. In some localities
the appraisal of real estate will be largely in
creased, and in others 1t will not be materially
changed. Instances are given OF individuals re-
fusing to make out their inventories, and, as was
to be expected, special of efforts at evasion
are reported, but the evidence Of cheerful COM
pliance with the law is general and conclusive.
In st. Adams it is reported that enough national
car company's stock has been unearthed to add
to its list of So Co., and still the Messenger
abuses the law.

question relating to the detachment OF the Bur-

WEST RANDOLPH Union services were held
on fast day at the Congregational church, Rev. "
NJ Hardy delivering the sermon. His subject
was 1.-THE Tempted Church" There have been
great changes in the business Of the world and In
methods Of doing the same, and there have been
corresponding changes in religion in the past fifty
years. Men have become very skillful in devices
for the carrying on of their work, and the church
has been tempted to make corresponding exer-
tons in order to enlarge its boundaries. This Is
often done to the exclusion OF the purity and vir-
tue that characterized the religion OF fifty years
ago. The church has passed through several
temptations, and now that 1t has passed Its time Of
weakness, in its strength the present temptation
is conformity to the world. In the church there
is now a tendency to copy the world in its aims,
policy and standards. Rev. Mr. Tenney Of Barre
exchanged with Rev. V. NJ. Hardy on Sunday
last The circular conference OF Congregational
churches was held at Randolph Center on Tuesday,
April 18th. e. Mrs. Iivermore's lecture, 1.-THE
Boy Of To-day" was well attended aud pronounced
the best of her efforts. Mrs. William Du Bots
is quite sick with gastric fever. C. J. Hough-
ton, jeweler, has gone to Waltham. Massachu-
