thought and preparation on the part of
some of the speakers. Afterwards the
reports from the various churches were
heard from which we summarize brief
ly: The McIndoe's church has held its
own and Is in some respects stronger
than year ago. Some opposition has
been attempted, but it has only served
to unite the church and make them
more active without drawing especially
from its numbers. In the Cabot church
| there has been no unusual religious in
terest. There were six additions to the
church and two deaths. Average at
tendance l42 Sunday school "a. The
temperance work has been followed up
vigorously and the pastor and wife
have been active in stirring up a mis-
siOnary spirit. In the Danville church
there were four deaths, one other re-
mOval, and only one addition. 1t was

Temperance Institute ut Hard
wick.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
union of Caledonia county held its sec
Ond institute at Hardwick, commencing
Thursday evening, May 81, and con-
tinuing through Friday, June l. About
twenty-five delegates were present,
eleven unions being represented. The
considered, and committee was ap-
pointed to prepare and present con-
stitution. This was laid before the in
stitute and unanimously adopted. The
following officers were chosen Presi-
dent, Miss ID. Elite j. Powers secreta-
ry, Mrs. 5. 5. Clarke treasurer, Miss
Laura Bicllford vice presidents, one
lady from each town i'll the county.
The subjects presented for discus
sion were treated with Il force and
clearness that showed good under
standing and hearty interest in the
work. Miss Bickford's paper on FL
nance, bringing forward the veXed
question of all benevolent societies,
GLOW shall we obtain the largest
amount of funds by right and .iudicious
means, and wisely dispense the same ~
deserves special mention. The poem,
GLOW IA mother can VOTE" by Mrs. O.
Brown, was a beautiful expression of a
mothers love and patriotism. Miss
Moore, state secretary, interested the
ladies by her presentation of "Hemper-
ance instruction" and the "Prize Es-
say Plan" To her presence and time
ly suggestions, and to those of Mrs.
Hidden of Craftsbury, the success OF
the institute was largely due. Mention
should also be made of Miss Powers,
who, by her judicious selection and ar
rangemcnt of topics, prepared the way
for profitable and successful meet
ing. Resolutions were presented and
adopted, expressing continued interest
in work and purpose to present it,
recommending the Union Signal to the
patronage of the union and thanking
all who had in any way aided in the
meeting. The exercises were closed by
an able and interesting address from
Mrs. NJ. G.. Leavitt of Boston.

Some time ago the CdledOniGR
spoke of "a self-acting car-coupler,
models of which were to be seen at the
freight depot in this place, in which A.
X. Tinkham, formerly of st. Johns
bury, is interested. The inventor is j
G.. Mitchell of Lancaster, n. H., and it
is being introduced by the Lancaster
Car Coupler company, of which j. A.
Smith of Boston is president and A. X.
Tinkham of Chicago is treasurer.
An exhibition was given of its working
in the railroad yard in this place on
Tuesday afternoon, Mr.. Mitchell and
several other gentlemen interested in
it's introduction being present. The
tests were very satisfactory, where the
conditions were at all favorable. Some
have been introduced on the Concord,
Northern and Fitchburg roads, and
superintendent Folsom of the Pas
Sumpsic road has indicated IA willing
ness to make a trial of it. 1t is very
simple in design, practical in eXecu-
ton, and obviates the dangers now at
tending the duties of brakemen.

A new method of collecting the
highway tax goes into operation in
this town this year. At the March
meeting the town voted that the high
way tax shall be paid in money, fifteen
cents on the grand list, instead of
twenty cents in labor as heretofore.
The tax is now ready for collection,
the collector will commence at once to
make his rounds, and those who have
been accustomed to working out their
tax will do well to bear this change in
mind.
The Superior court came in on
Tuesday. There were 10 cases set to
the jury. The new entries number 65
for the County court and 26 in Chan
Gerry. The case of Weeks VS.. Town of
Lyndon is now on, it being a suit for
damages for a defective bridge. At the
previous trial verdict was given for
the plaintiff, the defendant took excep-
tions to the general term of the Su-
preme court, and the case was remand
ed back for trial. The case will occupy
| the whole of the present week.

The Fairbanks scale company nave
just completed an iron frame railroad
track scale, the platform of which is
eight rods long less two feet. 1t is to
be used for weighing loaded coal cars
while in motion. The engine is
switched round the scale, the momen-
tum carrying them over and the weigh
master is enabled to get the gross
weight by the patent beam made
specially for the scale. This company
have manufactured several of these
long scales for this purpose, which have
weighed many millions of tons of coal
yearly.
1t has been the custom of the South
church and Sunday-schoOl for num-
Der of years to observe the first Sunday

the second Sunday as recommended by
the State conference. On Sunday
morning Rev. Z. +. Fairbanks preached
an appropriate sermon from the words,
~ am but little child" In the even
ing missionary exercise was given by
the Girls missionary society. The
front of the pulpit platform was deco
rated with ported plants and flowers,
and the exercises were of more than
usual interest and reflected credit upon
those who were charged with their
preparation and arrangement.

The stock speculation to-day developed re-

extremely dull. The bank statement, unexpectedly
bad as II was did not deter the advance in prices;
in fact, the upward movement did not begin till
after the figures of the bank statement were pub

steady at small declines from last evenings figures.
The pivotal stocks upon which the market turned
were the Vanderbilt stocks, and particularly Cen
