The PresbyIerians.

The Presbyterian society occupied
the vestry of their new church on Sun
day, and will hold their regular ser
vices there until the audience room is
ready for occupancy, which will be in
about a month. The conference room
is very cosy and pleasant, and the win
dows are painted of a light color, so
that the unsightly appearance of the
fence on the east side is avoided and
yet good light given.
Sunday afternoon the desk was occu-
pied by the secretary of the National
Reform association, who spoke of the
mission of Jonah to preach to the peo-
preach against, the speaker claimed,
were national rather than individual
sins. In his application he likened
America to Nineveh, and said that the
prosperity which has attended this
country for one hundred years is no
surety against its destruction on ac-
count OF its wickedness, for Nineveh
had become the most prosperous city
of that age, and had been prOspered
for fourteen hundred years. In the
points in which the nation is departing
from the holy word, he said the consti-
tuition makes no reference to the exis-
fence of God, ruin is sold over the bar

Vermonters i'm Chicago.

The Chicago association of the Sons
of Vermont held its sixth annual ban
quet on Wednesday night at the Palm
er house in cOmmemOratiOn of the one
hundred and sixth anniversary of the
independence of Vermont. Among
those present whom most of our read
ers will readily recognize were Rev.
DR.. GOOdell, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. B. Jane
son and Abijah Keith of Montpelier,
Mr.. and Mrs. Arson Hopkins, Arthur
Brooks, Frank Potts, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
ward d. Redington, and many others.
Judge Poland and Senator Edmunds
sent their regrets. Among the speech
es was one by Rev. DR.. GOOdell who is
reported as saying that whoever was
fortunate enough to wed the Princess
of Vermont was favored with the
greatest boon to be had on this round
globe. He said he was glad to be pres
ent at so fine scene, and spoke pleas
antly of his native state, relating an
incident or two of his early life. A
small state formerly, it was now
bounded on the north by the Domin-
ion of Canada. Chicago was the cap
ital, and Boston, New York, Cleveland,
Columbus, Philadelphia we're its cit
les. He spoke of the apple-parings,
where they pared in the afternoon and
paired on the way home in the eve
ming, the young men taking the Yer
mont girls with their strawberry lips.
"And on those lips there is Eden
[Applause.l 81 see you have been
there" He spoke of the energy, per
severance and industry of Vermonters,
and predicted that in half a century
Chicago would be in the hands of Yer
mOnters. He dwelt facetiOusly upon a
number of Vermont Observances and
traits of character, concluding with a
fervent allusiOn to the morality of the
Green Mountain state.

Another Insurance Case.

Last week we mentioned the peculiar
circumstances of the insurance on the
life of Charles w. French, and his
death so soon after. Our attention has
since been called to the case of the
late c. c. Hall of this place. He in
formed f. f. Sargent May Do, 1873,
that he would insure after the 18th OF
June. He was induced to make an
application then by Mr.. Sargent agree
ing to make his policy good from its
date, and trust him until the 18th.
The policy was made good by Mr..
Sargent the Sd of June. Mr.. Hall was
taken sick the 9TH and died the 18th,
and on the receipt of the insurance
from the Ktna Life, Mrs. Hall paid
Mr.. Sargent.

A TOOthsOmc Curiosity.

A remarkable curiosity was found
by j. Z. Dahl, formerly of North
Danville, on his place in Granville,
Illinois, where he now lives. He was
excavating in gravelly soil when he
came upon petritied tooth of the
following dimensions Eleven and
one-half inches long, nine inches across,
weight eleven and quarter pounds.
Those who have seen the teeth of the
mastodon say this is too large for that
animal, and scientists call it the back
molar of a now extinct herbivOrous
mammal. The enamel on the tooth is
quite perfect and the roots but par
TALLY petritied. Carl Andersen has
seen this tooth, and from him we get
these interesting facts and figures.

Ryegate.

Rev. Mr.. Reed was ordained and in
stalled over the Reformed Presbyteri-
an society of this place on Friday, the
10Th inst. Eight clergymen were pres
ent on the occasion, most of them tax
ing part in the exercises.
Rev. COlman delivered a lecture in
the Reformed Presbyterian church
Monday afternoon on the constitution
al amendment. His arguments were
presented in very clear and forcible
manner, and it is regretted that so few
availed themselves of the opportunity
of hearing so pleasing an address. 1t
was so free from that bitterness that so
often and almost universally character
ICES the opponents of constitutional re-
form.
G. w. Leitch arrived in town last
week, after an absence of about three
years. 1t will be remembered that Mr.
Leitch and his two sisters sailed for
CeylOn as missionaries under the
auspices of the American Board. Mr.
Leitch represents the work in which
they have been engaged as having been
abundantly blessed, and although the
climate is very trying, yet they have
enjoyed their labors very much.

able to get out of the house again, but
is still very weak.
Last Friday afternoon and evening
about fifty persons, nearly all young
married people, gathered by invitation
of Gllmer II. Quimby at his house for a
social visit. In the evening an oyster

Home Missions.

The subject of home missions was
presented at "A union meeting of the
North and South churches at the latter
place on Wednesday evening. Rev.
Mr.. Smith of Montpelier, secretary of
the state home missionary society,
opened the subject by presenting the
condition and needs of the work in this
state. OF the 100 churches in the state
20 are home missionary churches.
The contributions during the past year,
including legacies, amounted to eighty
six cents a member exclusive of lega-
cies, tifty-fOur cents a member, gain
of three cents over the preceding year.
He said the great difficulty in the home
mission work is the lack of ministers,
and said that there are twenty church
es in the state without any pastors.
The country churches, he thought,
need the fostering care of the more
prosperous churches, for the stronger
are fed from the weaker churches.
Rev. Joseph Clark, formerly secre-
tary of the Massachusetts home mis-
siOnary society, now secretary of the
national society, spoke of the future
of America as affected by the home
mission work. He spoke of the great
resources of the country, it's immense
tide of immigration of all tongues and
peoples, the ignorant, the vicious,
the heather, the infidel and the ra-
tiOnalist, and the future of this cOun-
try must be determined by these ele-
ments or by the perpetuity of those
principles which have made America
what it is to-day. If the latter shall
prevail, the home mission work will
be the means for its accomplishment.
Rev. VIM. G. PuddefOOt of Rockford
Mich, who was fol some years mis-
sionary at White Cloud in that state
gave an instructive, amusing and with
al touching account of his labOrs and
experiences. His descriptions were
vivid, and if any doubts existed in the
minds of any of the necessity for mis-
siOnary work in this boosted land OF
civilization and culture and religion
his tales must have dispelled any sucl
| doubt

livering a sermon at the time, was sent
for, but before he could reach home his

by many in this place where she has
visited frequently. She was a sister OF

Arrest of n DefauIter.

Monday night, shortly before the
arrival of the l1.20 accommodation
train from Newport, Sheriff Sulloway
received despatch from Sheriff Bow
ley of Newport to arrest one Enos
McMaster, who was on the train, an
alleged defaulter to the tune of from
$1,000 to $4,000. Accompanying the
instructions was a partial description
of the man and information to the eff
feet that he had bought a ticket to
New York and was on his way to San
Francisco. When the train arrived
the sheriff found his man occupying
the rear car, being the sole occupant.
He called McMaster by name and told
him that he would have to get off the
train and come with him. To this
McMaster demurred, and demanded
to see the papers upon which he was
apprehended. The sheriff quietly in
formed him that he would see the pa
pers in due time, and taking him by
Ilt COdI-COlldI leu IlllI OuI, bllt COI-
ductor shouted "All aboard !" and the
train passed out of sight leaving the
sheriff and his discOmfitted prisoner
standing on the platform. The man
gave vague and unsatisfactory answers
to all inquiries. Officer Bowley and
H. CleghOrn of Montreal came down
on the express train, which, being
two hours late, did not arrive here
until about three o'clock, but in sea-
son for them to take the express train
for Newport with their prisoner.
From what was learned from the
prisoner and the officers and from
other sources it appears that McMas-
ter has been for seven years agent of
the Glasgow Canadian Land and
Trust company, and located at Scots
town, p. Q. The company, believing
he had been Incorporating funds,
appointed CleghOrn as agent, and
some two weeks since the latter went
to Scottstown to take charge of the
business and make an examination of
McMaster's management. He found
matters in bad shape, no books even
having been kept. McMaster became
alarmed and started for the States,
and Cleghorn had been looking for
him for several days. McMaster left
Lennoxville a little before noon on
Monday, driving to Newport, where
he took the cars. Sheriff LoOmis of
SherbroOke, with papers, awaited the
return of McMaster from this place,
but the prisoner will probably refuse
to return to Canada, and his trial will
probably take place at Newport.
Ldter.-McMaster, in default of bail,
has been committed to the IIasburg
Jail. His defalcation is now estimated
at $4,000. He was engaged in manu-
featuring lumber at Scottstown for the
company, which is located at Glasgow,
Scotland.

Nearly "A Serious Accident.

AS the express train south on Tues
day afternoon was passing Pierce's
crossing, i'll the north part of this town,
two boys with pair of horses were
just crossing. They did not see the
train, and but for the horses backing
and rearing, all would have been killed
or injured. The engine only hit the
sled tongue and one horse, throwing
them several feet from the track. No
injury was done except breaking the
tongue. The boys were so frightened
that they could not tell who they were.
The team was owned by Mr.. Bean of
Wheelock

Wedding anniversaries and surprise
visits are very popular here this win
ter. Besides the ones already reported
there was a surprise visit to Mr.. and
Mrs. Austin Kimball, to celebrate their

The gatherings were of similar char
acter. AT each presents suitable to the
occasion was made, and bountiful sup
pers were provided and good times re-
ported.
On the evening of the 23rd the Meth
Odist vestry was filled by the friends OF
Mrs. Emeline johnson, whose husband
was killed here few years ago in a
mill, to testify in an appropriate way
their appreciation of her, and to light
en- little the burden of caring for a
large family of children. About six
teen dollars in money was given and
many presents of various kinds be-
sides.
The Fourth District union of Good
Templars met here according to pro-

Harry A. Hill, brakeman on the St.
Johnsbury & Lake Champlain railroad,
was thrown from the hunters while IN
coupling an engine at Hydepark, Fri
day night, and received injuries from
which he died the next morning. He
was 81 years of age, son of Van Blu
rem Hill, of st. JOhnsbury Centre, and
had only been on the road about two
weeks. He was badly mutilated. We
understand the train was making what
is termed IA Flying SWITCH" and when
Hill pulled the coupling the locomotive
started ahead so suddenly as to cause
him to fall directly in front of the on
coming cars.
