That Cook Book.

1t is an open secret that certain
ladies of one of the benevolent societies
of the town have been busy now for
many weeks in preparing cook book.
The great event has ut last been accom-
plished, and there is now before us a
neat little volume of some seventy
five pages, bound handsomely and
substantially, the title page of which
reads as follows: IA collection OF
tried recipes contributed by various
ST. Johnsbury house-keepers, and pub
lished in behalf of the Ladies BenevO-
lent society of the North Congrega-
tional church, st. JOhnsbury, Vt.
Edited by Mrs. Walter p. Smith and
Mrs Robert McKinnOn." That about
tells the story, for on looking over its
well filled pages we find recipes for
cooking everything wanted in the
culinary department of any we'll
regulated HOUSEHOLD. Attached to each
recipe is the name of the lady sending
it. The book also contains a hand
some plate of the church. The print
ing was done at the CdledORidn office
and the binding by the Claremont
Manufacturing Co., who did better
job than the contract required. These
books are for sale at the Loan exhibit
ton tonight and tomorrow, and next
week will be on sale at Bingham's and
Fairbanks store. We expect they will
90 like hot cakes.

ance upon the lecture platform in this
place, and Notwithstanding his I'M
attractive subject he had a large audi
ence. Very little idea can be gained
of the lecture from the subject an
nOunced. as it was really deep and
logical argument for a faith in some
thing, as opposed to the ''give-it-up"
policy of the infidel and modern agnos-
tic. The lecture was thoughtful, close
" reasoned and Astounding in fine pas
sages. Weddings style is marked by
lieves every word he says and who has
direct purpose in uttering it. AL
though the lecture was deep and lOgi-
cal, and nearly two hours long, we
have heard nothing but universal COM
mendatiOn of it.
On Tuesday evening of this week the
Camilla Urso concert company gave a
concert to very full house. This en-

exquisitely, and her effort Tuesday
evening again evinced her mastery of
the violin. Her support seemed rather
cheap, perhaps largely SO by cOmpari-
son. The pianist was good, but after
hearing Mrs. Allen and Mr.. Hay so re-
Gently, Miss Gleason and Mr.. Hansen
appeared quite ordinary. The enter
tainment was of tedious length, but for
this the performers were not wholly to
blame yet it is hard to account for
the Judgment of the reader who int1ict

thus at the bridge, though he partially
redeemed himself later in his recitation
of Mr.. Bundle and Mrs. Corney.

money should be paid to him, gave an
indemnity bond, protecting them
against any future claim. Upon this
bond appeared the name of T. j.
Leavitt as surety. Afterwards Thomas
Stone sued and recovered for the lum-
Der, and plaintiffs called upon defen-
dant to indemnify them, Edwards
/ being dead. Defendant claims that he
never signed the bond or authorized

A Breach Of Reciprocity.

We acknowledge the receipt from
the Index office of an Annual, illustrat-
ed and gotten up in attractive style.
We have examined this little pamph
let somewhat carefully and find that
it contains among other things pictures
tanning the half-nude figures so often
seen in works of "high art adver-
| tisements set up attractively and well
printed; a calendar for the coming
| year which we presume is correct; a
/ list of eclipSes, total and partial, which
we cannot vOuch for, in fact we half
said about the eclipse of Ben Butler ; a
record of the ENJOYABLE feasts" which
may be correct for all we know as it
has generally been considered year of
plenty. But now we come to some
thing which does not meet our APP
prevail. Under the head of the latest
postal regulations we read, "Letters
to Canada (including Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, Manitoba and Prince
Edwards Island) three cents for each

countable. Under any circumstances

but more so in this case, for haven't
we read more thar once in the Index
that that paper was established here,
to "tell the truth ?"-the inference
being of course that the paper already
established is not in the habit of telling
the truth But aside from that seem

class but keep goods which would make
valuable and useful gifts. Among our
regular advertisers We record this week
W. Il. ANDERSON on Main street, by
activity and zeal in his business, in

His stock of furnishing goods is always

Railroad Change.

A rather important change in the
running of trains went into effect on
the Passumpsic road on Monday, the
principal point of which is the con-
solidatiou of the two night trains run

Newport at 1925, Lyndonville lI.5s,
St JohnSbury 1920, midnight, Wells
River | 10 Il. m, reaching w. II. June
/ ton at 2.4O, and Boston by the way of
I Plymouth about the same rs hereto
fore This change saves running two
trains, about one hour apart, between
Newport and Wells River. A through
I freight train leaves this place ut I0.45
p. M, reaching Wells River at mid
night. The mixed train leaves for the
south as usual, ut 80 p. m. The leav
ing time of the trains is given upon
