The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-01-23

PlainfieId.-The sympathies of the people
OF this place have been very deeply moved by
the events Of the past week. The family Of
Mr.. Lapien has been stricken with diphtheria
Four out of the five children have been sick,
and, on January 7th, the youngest, Cora, a
bright child of eight years, died During the
brief funeral services at the house, the mother
was watching over the PROSTATE forms of two
Other. daughters, while the father alone fol-
lowed the little casket to the grave. We re-
joice to know that the rest Of the family are
convalescent. Last Friday, after two weeks
OF sickness from cerebro-spinal meningitis,
which we're weeks of great suffering and anxi-
ETY., Miss Mabel, the only daughter Of Deacon
o. L. Hoyt, passed peacefully away, amid the
fearful, prayerful sorrow and sympathy of
many friends. All that medical skill could do
was done to save one, who. by her good nature
and cheerful, sunny disposition, had won the
esteem and affection Of many friends, and who
seemed 80 needful to her mother and father,
and to the one brother that she has left behind.
The funeral service took place in the Congrega-
tional church Sunday afternoon, amid tokens
OF sympathy from all classes of people. Thus
30 early in the new year two OF our Sunday
school scholars have been taken from US, and
two homes bereaved.

CabOt.-The musical convention held in
this town last week was a success, although
the chorus was not so large as at some former
conventions. The drills were pronounced by
good judges to be thorough and instructive.
The concerts were pronounced by all to be OF
high order. The leading features of the Thurs
day evening concert were " Hear my Prayer"
by Mendelssohn and the marvellous work from
The Creation" Each of the difficult solos
was finely rendered by Mrs. L. v. Spencer of
Marshfeld and the choruses we're rendered
with splendid effect The programme for Fri
day evening consisted of thirteen numbers, as
follows: organ solo. R. McGraham of Brook
| lyn, N. Y; song, The Iron Blacksmith" c.
Mrs. E. V. Spencer; piano Duet, "Mocking
Bird" Leslie and Phil Austin; song, 1.-THE
Bright Beyond" Miss Myrtle Clark Duncan;
song, 81 Wonder How" Miss Katie Peck Of
Calais; cantata, " The Lay Of the Bell " (Rom-
ter, Messrs c. S. Conant and H. B. Whittier;
Z" would that my Love" (Mendelssohn) Mrs.
Everett and Mrs. Duncan; The Arrow and
the Song" (Pinsuti), Miss Ina B. Foster Of
Cabot; song, "The Bend Of the River" Blum
skid, Mr.. c. s. Conant of st. Johnsbury; duet
for cornetand baritone Burt and Master
Carl Shepard; duet, Profugo Mar
THAI, Messrs. Conant and Whittier; Infam-
matus "-Stabat Mater. solo by Mrs. Everett.
The accomplishments by Mr. Graham, Ina B.
Foster, Merton Wells and Austin were well
executed. The chorus, under Professor Fos-
ter's direction, ably mastered the difficult
work presented by the cantata and Infamma-
tus, fully demonstrating the expediency of
bringing music of a high order before Our
small country conventions The complete suc-
cess of the closing concerts shows that Profess
sor Fosters ability as conductor has not been
overrated-that he thoroughly understands
his work and Is deserving of patronage. The
convention was one of the most profitable ever
held in town and was thoroughly enjoyed by
all lovers of good music. Hugh Everett has
a sleigh that is traced back for certainty. 30
that its age is one hundred and three years
He has had it painted and upholstered in good
shape, and IL it was not for this as it passes
through the street it would remind one Of
Noah's Ark. He proposes, if any one wants it
more than he does, to let him have it, =. The
dramatic club are to play Thursday and Friday
evenings, January 31st and February 1st. The
entertainment will be worthy of the patronage
of the public as the net proceeds are to go for
the benefit of the library. We hope everyone
will save his twenty five cents for this pur-
pose ...Quite q number of our citizens at
tended the funeral of Miss Mabel Hoyt, only
daughter of o. L. Hoyt, Esq, of Plainfield last
Sunday. In this deep afliction they have the
sympathy of friends of this. their native town.

sand acres of lands have been leased to
one corporation. See how Formidable
it looks in figures -235, 900. And yet
that indicates but one-halI the
vast area which it really
controls, as the school lands
represent but the alternate sections;
Five hundred and seventy thousand
acres is the exact amount which this
corporation has fenced in, a territory
larger than Johnson county, and as
large as either Tarrant or Dallas coun-
ties.
Let the people think over it, and
while they are thinking am going to
PROFOUND a problem. If IL is wrong
TO give permanent control OF half a
million acres of land to one corpo-
ration, Is it not also wrong TO give
limited control over the same amount?
If dangerous to sell why not danger
GUS to lease? In other words Is not
the evil In the powers conferred rather
than in the duration Of those powers?
This is the question which is now be-
ing put to the people ofTexas and the
roii-call will soon commence.
