Coughs Lecture.

A crowded house greeted Cough at
Music hall on Friday evening. Those
who heard him for the first time en-
jOyed a great treat, and those who
have heard him before wondered thai
he retained so much of his old-time
spirit and fervor. This lecture closed
the forty first season he has been on
the platform. 1t is hardly probable
that he will be again heard i'll st.
JOhnsbury. Although not as old as
his appearance would indicate, he is
getting along in years, and he has well
earned the retirement and quiet he
ought to enjoy i'll the evening of his
life. Yet he is still active on the plat
form, and seems not to have aged any
for number of years His lectures
are unrepOrtable. His anecdotes illus
trate his points better than any argu-
ment, and the vividness of his descrip-
tons are unsurpassed. Those who
heard him speak of his early advanta-
ges will appreciate what Rev. John
Pierpoint said to him forty years ago :
you don't know enough of the classics
for the people of Boston. That is what
they want, and | will give you six
months in which to hold your audien-
ces, that is ALL" Not only cultured
Boston, but the nobility of England,
have given evidence of the matchless
powers of eloquence by which he holds
his audiences

A Large Verdict Against n Rail-
rOad.

The story of Mr.. Connel's fight with
the Pennsylvania railroad company,
given on the outside of this paper, will
be carefully read not only because Mr..
Council is well known in this vicinity,
but for the rarity of Il man who has the
pluck in the first place to stand up for
his rights against IA rich corporation,
and then ill the next place the perse-
verance and tenacity to fight it out in
the courts through two trials. The
verdict was the same both trials, the
jury giving Mr.. Cornell every cent he
sued for, and people who have been
bulldozed 10y railroad officials will agree
that it is IA righteous verdict. If more
people would stand up for their rights
there would soon be less occasion fol-
such lawsuits.

Enlistment of the ST. JOhnsbury
COmpany.-Othe Militia Mat

The enlistment papers for the St
Johnsbury company have been receiv-
ed, and the work of enlistment is 60
ing forward. The Newport Express
thinks the Grout guards of that place,
by reason of priority of enlistment,
should have been admitted. There are
several good reasons why a wise decis-
ion has been reached, of which the Ex-
press seems to be ignorant. In the
first place, the uniform of the GrOut
guards is blue, while that of the regu-
lar militia is gray, and the admission
of that company would necessitate a
change and an expense to the state.
Again, the militia is composed of one
regiment of ten companies and one
separate company, which, by recent
enactment, is the company at Newport.
In the admission of the Newport COM
panV the force would he left without
the separate company required by law.
Adjutant and Inspector General Peck
has issued IA special order to Col.
Greenleaf, announcing the appoint
ment of board of inspection to exam
inc and report on the condition of the
uniforms and equipments of Cos. q
and F. The board meets at the armOry
of the Bradford company May 23, and
at that of the Mortified company May
"a; and the following officers con
stitute the examining body: Brig. Gen,
II. X. Ide, Lieut.-Col. j. j. Estey, Maj.
A. ID. Tenney, Capt. c. c. Kinsman, LIST
Lieut.. A. T. Hall.
Some of the state papers are talking
up the matter of the next muster OF
the militia being held at this place, on
account of the admission of this com
pany to the force 1t would he a great
encouragement to the company here,
and if st. JohnSbury is to have the
muster, this year is the time for it. OF
the towns represented, st. JOhnsbury
and Mortified are the only towns that
have not had the state muster.

Asa c. Mitchell died at Bellows Falls
on Saturday forenoon, from a heart
trouble. He removed to this place
from Massachusetts at the time of the
commencement of work on the Lake
road, upon which he was employed in
capacity of civil engineer. He was one
of the movers in the establishment of
the Baptist church, and its inception
and subsequent prosperity was largely
due him. While residing here, he was
actively engaged in evangelistic work,
and was at all times an active, earnest
and devoted Christian. In 1878 he re-
moved to Bellows Falls, and engaged
in the drug business. He had been
confined to the house for only two
weeks, although he had not been in his
usual health for some weeks previous.
On the morning of his death he said he
felt better, and with the aid of his son
he went to the sofa and reclined upon
it for a few minutes. Shortly after re-
turning to the bed he experienced a
choking sensation, and almost instant
ly expired. He leaves two sons, one
engaged in the drug business at Glen's
Falls, n. Y, the other assisting him,
and a daughter, the wife of Foster G..
Stevens. His remains were brought
to this place for interment, the funeral
services being held at the Baptist
church on Monday afternoon. He was

Obituary..


Hon. William T. George died at his
residence May II. He was born in
TOpsham, VT, June Is, 1918. He was
well known in the county and state,
having held many offices of trust, was
successful auctiOneer, and was for
many years sheriff. He represented
the town in the legislature in l563-64,
and as senator from Orange county in
1874. He was appointed United States
Deputy collector by Hon. c. ). Dunn,
which office he held until Mr.. Dunn's
term expired. In Mr.. George the tenn
perance cause loses a very efficient and
earnest worker. Rev. Mr.. Flagg. who
preached his funeral sermon, said of
him ''He was man who dared to
stand up boldly against the accused
evil OF the Intoxicating cup. He was
not afraid to try diligently to save men
from its power, and as you go from his
grave back to your homes, remember
this, that the treacherOus, cursed evil
could not enter into any of these homes,
could not select any member thereof as
victim of the understanding habit
without arOusing your friend and citi-
zen to do all he could for their safety
trust his very memory will stop any
young man who shall be tempted now
to enter this path so dangerous and
fatal" His funeral was attended by 1
large circle of friends. He was kind
neighbOr, a good citizen, and his los.
will be deeply felt in the community
His widow and three sons survive him

The Music Hall Fund.

Mention was made in the CdIedOnidli
few weeks since of an effort about to
be made by the Y. NJ. c. A. to raise
$4,000 for the reconstruction and en-
largement of Music hall, the people
thereby availing themselves of the
generous offer, by the present owners.
of the building and the site on which it
stands. Nothing more need be said
concerning the demand for larger
and more cOmmOdiOus hall for lectures
and other purposes. The call for sea-
son tickets for the last lecture course
was greatly in excess of the seating
capacity of the present building. The
committee who are soliciting subscrip-
lions have met with a generous re-
Spouse from many of the citizens
$1,000 have been pledged. The com
mittee are about to renew their efforts
and all citizens are asked to aid in thi,
important enterprise and to be pre-
pared when visited to state what they
will give. Because some can and dc
subscribe large amounts, let none with
hold the five and ten-dOllar contribu
tons as seemingly too small for it i:
on Just such that the committee rely
to complete the requisite amount
Upon the execution of this project de
pend the largest success and usefulness
of the lecture courses and other enter
tainments in the future. Let all re
spOnd promptly and as generously a
their means will allow, thereby secur
ing personal interest in the building
and in the work it represents, and war
ranting a speedy beginning of the worl
of reconstruction.

Attempted Shooting at DanvilIe.

Alfred Robinson, young man EN-
ployed by Frank Stocker, was return
ing home from the village on Sunday
evening, when some one shot at him
from behind the end of Snow fence at
the side OF the road. The ball passed
through his coat and shirt sleeves,
grazing his right arm. He did not stop
to investigate, but reached the house
us soon as possible. Stocker lives on
the Peacham road about mile south
of the village, and the shooting was
but short distance from the house.
The whole matter is wrapped in mys-
terry. Robinson came from Canada, and
worked for +. }. Dole last summer. He
is very quiet, unassuming young
man, and has had no trouble with any
one here. The hour was ten o'clock.

Telephone.

The Boston and Northern Telephone
company, who have bought the
business of c. c. Bingham, have per
petual lease from the National Bell
Telephone company, and control-after
the leases now in existence expire-the
telephone business in Vermont, a pOr-
ton of New Hampshire, Maine, the
greater part of Massachusetts and a
portion Of New York. Their agents
are buying the leases now in existence
Mr.. Bingham's lease was for five years
and had only two years more to run
If the lease had been for ten years, Mr.
b. would have continued to operate it
As it was, it was advantageous to hin
to dispose of the business to this com
pany, who have large capital and re
sources.

Opening of the Avenue House.

The citizens benefit to b. g. Howe
of the Avenue house on last Thursday
evening was very pleasant affair.
About one hundred were present. At
eight o'clock supper was served, which
was trst-class in all respects, after
which Rev. b. NJ. Tillotson made brief
remarks, welcoming the return of Mr..
Howe and family to their old home.
Remarks were also made by E. F.
Brown, w. 5. Streeter, d. A. Clifford,
and l.. w. Rowell. Mr.. Howe respond
ed briefly, thanking all for their warm
welcome for himself and family. Mr..
Howe has painted and refurnished the
house, so that it presents more invit-
ing aspect than before. This makes
the hotel accommodations of the place
much more satisfactory than they have
been in the past.
