THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CON-
VENTION.

This convention, which has here
tofore been held as two days meet
ing, was held at Barton Landing on
as picnic gathering,
place having been selected
in Judge Austin's grove, a few min
utes walk west of the depot. The !
weather was uupropitious, raining in
the morning, followed by violent
showers during the day. A process
sion was formed at 1870, headed by
the Irasburgh band, which proceeded
to the grove but the thunder betok
ening shower at hand the people
found shelter in the new set of build
ings being erected by Judge Austin,
and surrounding houses. In the aft
ernoon, the rain having dried off,
about six hundred people met at the
the stand, where the band dircoursed
excellent music, and preparations
were made for speaking exercises.
Prayer was offered by Rev. A. B.
Blake, and an appropriate piece was
sung by the choir. Mrs. II. c. lib
belts read very excellent essay on
Sunday school work, which treated
the whole subject in an intelligent
manner. Rev. II. T. Jones spoke
briefly, but his words were full of
wisdom and patriotic sentiment.
Rev. Mr.. Dodd, a native of England,
but now in the Methodist ministry,
spoke in a humorous, but appropriate
vein. He referred to Independence
Day, and the fact that almost every
body, while protesting to be indie
pendent, was yet slave to party,
fashion, creed OF caprice, and that
until these controlling influences were
set aside, our patriotic eXultation
might be more appropriately repre-
sented by the smoking 'fire-crackers
than the laundering cannon. Mr..
Dodd's points, though facetiously
made, contained much that every cit
izen should ponder. Rev. Mr.. Place,
Congregational pastor of Irasbugh,
was called upon and made a neat
little speech, which was humorous,
appropriate and instructive. D. M.
Camp, Esq, closed the speaking ex-
ercises. He spoke of the fact that
many citizens, as well as those COM
| ing to our shores had the idea that
liberty meant license, and the right
to violate the laws of the land.
He referred to the remarks of the
speaker, who showed how little lber-
ty the most of us possess, by the
thralldom of habit, politics, creed.
etc., and made a very appropriate
closing talk. The choir sang patri-
otto airs and the band, which has
reached high state of proficiency.
played several pieces much to the
pleasure of the audience. Mrs. E
III. Lothrop of Barton Landing an(
her children sang "Hurrah for ole
New England and received com
plimentary cheers for the excellen
manner in which it was sung. Brie

The Illinois supreme court has de-

LETTER FROM BOSTON.
Boston. ,T7U 9.

Boston, July 2.
EDITOR MoNIToT, There is nothing
stranger than the way of the world
unless it may be the way of politici-
ans, and the political world hasn't
seen anything more remarkable lately
than the meeting at Faneuil Hall of
the Massachusetts Lancers and Gov.
Butler with the New Orleans Cont
nentals. The banquet was a royal
one, toasts were many while mutual
compliments fell like hailstones.
There was much talk about ''peace,
s'Concord," and the :sCradle of Lib
erty," seasoned with rapturous ap-
plause. Altogether it was pleasant
grasping of hands over old feuds.
Tewksbury is still being investigat-
ed but the political capital Gov. But
ler expects to make out of it has prov
en- marvelously meager. The fact is
that Gov. Buffers witnesses have
many of them been the very dregs of
humanity, such as almshouse inmates
ever are and while it is to be hoped
that no unfortunate person shall be
maltreated, it is also to be hoped that
no politician will succeed in working
upon the public sympathy to the eX-
tent that it will lift them to office.
People dislike being disturbed in
their slumbers and their theology.
Formerly folks were constantly rous-
ed by the church bells ringing the
fire alarm of world to come ; but
Boston with her accustomed conceit
has decided that with her preachers
and fire department, she can extin-
guish the biggest perdition flame that
any excited revivalist ever set
blazing.
They are having very witty and
learned times at Andover just now
with the oracles, including Joseph
Cook who insists that there is no
probation after death and that the
controversy involves the legal, the
ecclesiastical and the eXegetical.
While the other wise men were Won
dering what in the nation he was
driving at, Joseph sat down amidst
rapturous applause.
We all know that Boston is the
model of all the virtues but yon could
not form q correct estimate of hel
opinion of the Star Route verdict
There may be one man, certainly
not more than one, in Boston who
would 'sfeather his own nest from
the public Golfers, at least you woult
infer as much from the conversation
we hear and overhear. Alas tina
people do not always live up to thei
professions.

HORSE JOCKEYING AT AGRI-
CULTURAL FAIRS.

Now that the time is approaching
for the PRONUNCIATION of the premiums
offered by the Windsor County Agri-
cultural society we earnestly hope
something more than formerly will be
provided by way of encouragement
to country breeders and county hor-
ses. Heretofore all the money, or a
great portion of it, offered in purses
has been carried off by foreign horses
that are good for nothing except to
win scrub races, just what they are
kept and trained for, and little has
been devoted to the rearing of horses
for services on the farm or in the
carriage. The horse trots to which
the public are invited are mainly
frauds and for one crowd that is sat-
isfed with the exhibition a dozen 90
home growing. The enjoyment or
the excitement and the interest a
man naturally feels in the perform
ance of fleet horse is dulled and
destroyed by the evidences of jock
eying by which purses are disposed
of at the pleasures of the drivers.
1t is time there was a change. The
theory that has largely prevailed
heretofore, that the people demand
horse trots and will not attend the
fairs if they are not provided, is er-
roneous, especially as applied to the
trots usually arranged. To claim
that the theory is sound is equivalent
to saying that the community love to
be swindled.- WoodstOck Standard.

The decision of the court in the
application of the Central Vermont
railroad against the Montpelier and
Wells River railroad, is that the lat
ter road shall receive the cars of the
Central and draw them over their
road, in not to exceed one hour and
thirty-fve minutes that the Wells
River road shall run their trains in
close connection with those of the
Central, and receive and transport
passengers and baggage on through
tickets and checks that the Wells
River road shall be paid their local
rates of fare that the Central shall
file $40, 900 bond to reimburse the
Wells River for any loss in running
an extra train, if one be necessary,
and for any damage that may occur
not because of the negligence of the
Wells River. All the other findings
of the commissioners were disallowed.
A statue in memory of Gen. Rob-
ert E. Lee was unveiled in the chapel
of the university at Lexington, Va,
recently. After the war he was
president of that institution. The
address was made by Mayor Daniel,
and was free from all partisan and
sectional feeling. He did not omit
to show the reluctance with which
Lee went against the Union, under
the stress of what he regarded as the
first claim of Virginia upon his SER
vice. Describing the tender made
Lee by Gen. Scott. through F. P
Blair, of the command of the Unior
armies, Mr.. Daniel quoted his an
swer: ''Mr. Blair, look upon seces
sion as anarchy. If / owned th.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. InaSoLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifen and hold the engraved por-
lions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ~ ..,x
which saves the WASTE of need 3 q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Winter Pruning.

The winter season is a very important
one in the management of fruit trees.
Pruning is especially important. Some
believe that if the foundation of tree
be properly laid in youth, there will be
no necessity to purue an adult tree.
This does not accord with the winters
experience. An intelligent examination,
both with the saw and knife in hand,
should be made every winter. Real,
good, large, healthy leaves in everd
part of tree is of vast important, any
these can not be had when brances are
close together, smothering one another
