The Yearly Inferno.

The annual day consecrated to noise,
is now dominating the United States.
Everybody lays the blame on John
Adams who ever read his often quoted
| letter, but the blame is really on hu
man nature itself, which in general
delights in noise, and in all ages and
countries has celebrated sundry holi-
days with popular uprOar. The
horns and whistles and other such in
struments. and a great variety of other
sorts of nOiSe-making cOntrivances,
characterize the carnival in Rome, for
| instance and there was probably
never gala-day among half savage
races that did not bring forth all the
| horrors of the human voice and such
additional evil inventions as they could
compass. Yet no other nation that has
pretended to our American standard of
enlightenment has deliberately devOt
ed day to so elaborate an exposition
of noise as distinguishes our indie
pendence day. Moreover, we have
added such use of dangerous eXplO-
Sives as makes the day one of constant
calamity. 1t is the perfect ideal of the
! incendiarY. Fires enough we have i'll
| the ordinary course of events. but the
] L
ways transcends the most ambitious
reach of customary causes, and is in
deed the principal glory of the day.
! The firc-cTackcr and its fellOw-eXplO-
sives have been recognized for many
years as miscellaneous engines of de
struction in addition to their peace
destroying qualities. The proposition
which Charles Sumner advocated years
ago of the utter prohibition of the i'm
portation of these things was Il ration
al one. and should been made law.
! There is no sense of having rest ruined,
the mob encouraged and property en-
! dangcred by these silly instruments of
vulgar fun. There is no city now that
is not Il place of great sntferlngs to in
valids because of the license of IN In
dependence day. The country towns
too suffer greatly.
In many of our villages the center
is taken possession of every Fourth of
July bv the nc'er-doo- wells and made
Il hive of boiSterous drunkenness and
profanc riot. The local authorities no
doubt have it in their power to quell
such disturbances, but they do not
uuell them because of the traditional
liberties of the celebration of liberty.
There was il time when this plea had
some foundation in the hearts of the
pOpulace, but now that populace is
largely made up of Il rude class who
have nothing of that feeling, either
from Inheritance or teaching, and who
ought to be restrained 10y the law, es-
pecially from turning the quiet night
into hell of noise.-I Springfield Re
publican.

The ringing of the Institute bell last
Tuesday told the people that all doubt
as to the future of the school was at
rest, and that the almost super-human
efforts of Rev. f. Owen had been
crowned with success. Mr.. Thompson
on Tuesday decided to the trustees the
building and all the property connect
ed Herewith, without incumbrance.
and the fund for the support of the
school amounts to nearly S29, 900. A
telegram from Theodore Vale of Bos-

The graduating exercises in Miss
building were held on Friday after
noon, and an unusually large number
of visitors were in attendance. The
exercises-with the exception of most
of the songs. under the direction of
Miss Laura Brooks-were wholly from
Longfellow's writings. A class of for
ty-two goes up to the next grade. The
recitations and singing were highly
creditable to the pupils and their in
structors and pleasing to the visitors.
June Ii, 1869, n party of ladies
met at the residence of Mrs. John G..
Paddock and organized the "Matrons'
Social Circle" Meetings were held for
two or three years, when they were
allowed to cease. Some interest was
created on the subject, and a meeting
was held in the parlors of the South
church on Tuesday afternoon, and an
album bedquilt, containing the names
of fifty-seve ladies, was "tacked" and
presented to Miss Orris Paddock, in
memory of her mother, at whose resi-
dence the first meeting was held. Eigh
teen ladies were present at this meet
ing, whose united ages aggregated
1867 years, and the average age seven

North DanVillc.

This community is shrouded in grief
this week by the sudden death of Allie
Guild, one of our most promising young
men. Though only fifteen years of age,
Allie had won the respect and esteem
of all who knew him. Not only will
he be missed in the home circle, but in
the Sabbath-school and prayer-meet-
ings, where lie was wont to join in
singing the songs of praise. The North
Danville Band will miss him from THEN
number. The sorrowing parents have
the heartfelt sympathy of all in this
their second bereavement within ten
months.

The residences of Henry G. Ely and
VIM. II. Cook on Summer street were
entered this morning. At the former
place $40 was taken, and mt Mr.. Cook 5
they took his pants and SOB. Mrs.
Cook was awakened at two o'clock 10y
Il light. She asked who was there, to
which no response was given and the
burglars fled. She awoke Mr.. Cook,
door being found unlocked. We hear
of another house being entered, but
nothing was found to he missing.
The residences of Asa 5. Livingston
and solomon Humphrey, both on Sum
mer street, were also entered, and
about twelve dollars was taken ut the
former place and nothing at the latter.
About one o'clock Mrs. Switser, who
lives at Livingston's, was called to Il
CURED, and soon after Mr.. Livingston
was awakened by his dog, and saw the
reflection in a mirror of man with a
dark lantern. The man left without
further ceremony. On going into the
next room Mr.. Livingston stepped on
his wallet which had been abstractcd
from his pants pocket. The money
had all been taken except one dollm
which was evidently overlooked
When Mrs. Switscr returned Il little

Young Appleton graduated at the St.
Johnsbury Academy two years ago this
summer and entered Oberlin college
where he remained until declining
health forced him to return home this
spring. He was young man of ster-
ling Christian character and was look
ing forward to life in the ministry.
Undoubtedly his health broke down
under hard work, as his pecuniary
means were limited and his ambition
for an education knew no obstacle.
His early death is mourned not only by
the family so greatly afflicted, but 10y
all who came to know him and love
him.

certained that it was the old instead of

Christian Work in California.

]
Rev. Henry f. Jewett addressed the
union meeting at the North church on
Sunday evening on Christian work in
California. He showed that while the
NermOnts with respect to area, iC has
only five persons to the square mile,
while Vermont has thirty-siX. This
scarcity of population places Chris
tian workers outside of the large towns
ut Il great disadvantage. He made Il
comparative estimate of the religious
condition of the two states by saying
that Vermont stood to California in
this regard us Is to |, reversing the
figures with respect to territory. lie
spoke of the lamentable condition in
which the state is left by the defeat of
the Iocal-option liquor law and the re-
peal of the Sunday laws. Since the
repeal of the Sunday laws, the supreme
court holds that as the law provides
that the court shall he open every day
excepting Il legal holiday, and as Sun
day is not a legal holiday, the court
must he open on Sunday. He said
there had been very hopeful increase
in religious work in that state within
the last few years, and that in the Con-
grcgational denomination alone, 1900
of the 5000 members had been gained
during the past ten years. In this,
more than in most states, there is a vast
number of foreign born people, most of
whom have no religion. He said
Christianity is gradually bringing even
the Chinese within its influence, and
in San Francisco there is church of
three hundred Chinese members. In
relation to the restriction of Chinese
emigration, he said that the influx of
this people into San Francisco and ad-
iacent sections had been So great, and
| the question such serious one, that
the Christian people were willing that
| the experiment of restriction should be
tried. Notwithstanding the many diff
| iiculties encountered in the uplifting
of the people, the view he took of Cal
fornia's moral and religious future was
/ Il hopeful one.
