Personal.

The death is announced. at Canton, n .
Y, Oct. 27 of Hon. Silas Baldwin. His
age was 81 years. He was native of
Dorset, Bennington county; was educat-
ed at Middlebury college. graduating in
the class of 1921; studied law and be-
came partner of Slas Wright at Can
ton, where he ever afterward resided.
His second wife was the daughter of
John Strong of this county. Mr.. Bald
win held various offices of trust, being
justice of sessions for 20 years, postmast-
er of Canton. member of the assembly,
etc.
A movement is on foot in Rutland
county to obtain an appropriation to
build monument over the grave of
Judge Theophilus Harrington, who died
in 1913 and is buried in Chippenhook vii
lage in the town of Clarendon. Many
signatures to petitions for such an appro-
priation have been obtained in the vari-
Gus towns of the county. Judge Her.
ringtOn was one of the early speakers of
the House of Representatives and for 10
years. from 1903 to 1913, a Judge of the
Supreme court. He is described as a
man of magnificent stature. burly and
uulearned but endowed with a large
amount of "horse- sense" He was not
educated as lawyer, and was not ad-
mitted to the bar until after he was elect
ed to the Supreme court Several of his
decisions handed down were made with
out regard to any technicalities of the
law, but are right, nevertheless. The
most noted one was case where a slave
holder desired the remanding of a run
away slave. After prma facie case of
ownership had been made out, the Judge
intimated that he wanted more proof and
more proof was furnished. More evil
dence still was required, and after en-
hausting all his proof and making out a
perfect title, as he thought, the slave
holders attorney asked the judge what
more proof would be wanted and re-
ceiyed the reply, Il want a bill of sale
from God Almighty" 1t is claimed that
this is the first known decision in this
country denying that negroes were pro-
perty and the subject of sale.-Repub!i-

Closing Exercises of MT. Sidney
Graded School.

Our graded school closed the session of
six months on Tuesday the 8th inst, ex-
aminations in mental arithmetic and or
biography taking up the time until noon.
The afternoon was occupied in the de-
livering of declaInations OH appropriate
subjects, splendidly written and well read
essays and a most excellent yaledictory by
Geo. D. Shreckhise. We would like to ex-
patiate upon the merits of the declaimers
and eSsayists, but want of time and space
prevents the proper description OF all. and
the mention of any one would be unjust to
others. Prof. B. B. White. the principal,
and Miss Cora Hudson, of Staunton, and
Lottie Guard. of Nelson county, his as
slStants. have been permanently successful
in their efforts during the session just
closed. Prof. w. is peculiarly fitted for
principal of graded school. He is thor
oughly qualified. perfectly devoted to his
profession and is the most indefatigable
worker we ever knew. A goodly number
of the patrons assembled at the academy
to witness the closing. After exercises by
the pupils were over and Prof. White had
delivered his closing address which was
admirably suited to the occasion the pa
irons resolved themselves into a mass
meeting and Samuel Woods offered the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unani-
mOusly adopted :.s,sts ,f.t,t
Resolved 1st, That we, the patrons of
Mt. Sidney Graded School, in mass meet
ing assembled, do hereby tender to Prof.
B. B. White, principal, and Misses Cora
Hudson and L0ttle Guard, assistants, our
most sincere thanks for their earnest and
efficient labors in behalf OF our children,
their pupils, during the session Of this
school which ends to-day.
Resolved I'd, That notwithstanding the
frequent Interruptions and enforced alb
sence, on account of sickness among the
pupils, our children have advanced in theiI
studies beyond our most sanguine expec.
tations and that we highly appreciate the
ability and proficiency Of Prof. White and
his assistants in their profession, and most
earnestly desire that they consent to serve
us again the coming session of 18S4-5.
The audience were then entertained by
Rev. Geo. G.. Long, the Lutheran pastor al
this place, and County Supt. III. S. Roller
in appropriate and well timed remarks tt
teachers, patrons and pupils. The pupils
sang Wonderful Words" and the bes
and most successful school ever taught il

The New Orleans Picayune says that the
election in that city last week was mock
cry, that the popular will was nullifed, the
popular voice stifed, and free citizens were
robbed of their dearest rights. The result,
it says, is the most gigantic wrong ever
perpetrated on people, and it calls upon
the citizens to hold mass-meeting and
deliberate on their proper course in the
face of such formidable evil. 'sThey
cannot consent to submit to this crime, -
