en- L. Browne of ST. Johnsbury; Music ::
Glass Ode.
At the close of the address a coffin
containing a copy of TOzer's Ancient
Geography was lowered into a grave.
1t is said that this work of literature
has been a cause of much perplexity
(if nothing more) to many of the class.
We might say that all who had part in
these exercises showed their great fit
ness for their positions.
