The Farmers Mutual fire insurance
company of Montpelier, with a note
capital of S466. 900, has suspended
because of heavy losses. 1t had ov-
er $40, 100000 of risks out last Au-
gust with a surplus capital of $1417.
This is the third recent failure of a
mutual fire company in the state.
For some time it has been under
stood that the company has been in
an embarrassed condition, the assess
ments being high and the number of
insured growing less. To add to
this was the misfortune of heavy
losses. The company has done its
business honorably, and its suspense
is caused by ill fortune. Those in
sured in it can transfer their policies
to the Vermont Mutual without ex-
pense. The directors seem to have
acted honorably and wisely in closing
up the business while it could be
done without further losses to the
company.

A Montreal dispatch says: The
continued decrease of traffic on the
Grand Trunk railroad is causing
some comment here. Traffic returns
show that for the past four weeks
there has been decrease in passen-
ger receipts of S15,l26, and de-
crease of $243, 489 in merchandise
receipts. Last March the decrease
was S2887 for passengers, and
S20,237 for merchandise. This re-
suit is attributed to the want of for
eign demand and consequent stagna-
ton of the grain traffic. Men are
being discharged all along the line
and wages are being cut down very
materially.

and trlumphs, that his death will be
widely noted but not long felt. AL
though this prince of orators has no
chapter in the Hundred Orators of
Boston," it is very doubtful if Boston
ever had an orator his superior or
even his equal. Fisher Ames, Cho-
ate. Everett, Sumner and Webster
surpassed him as lawyers and states
men, but not as persuasive, mastery
orators. When attending the public
schools IN Boston his character as an
orator was established and a great
future predicted. He seems to have
had little ambition for any other field,
and his fame, which will be manly
traditional, will rest on the one ele-
ment of oratory. He was the Sam
Adams of the anti-slavery cause.
What Garrison accomplished with
his pen, what Whittier by his verse,
Phillips did by his silver tongue. If
Phillips did not originate, he led. If
he did not stir up the abolition storm
he was one of the boldest and most
uncompromising, spirits that supplied
its energy and fury. Wherever Phil
lips spoke. there was the storm-cen-
ter.
To accomplish what Phillips did he
must have been an orator of the head
and hearts combined. This was his
combination. Therein he excelled
other great orators, and became the
orator of the slave, of the poor, and
of every "under dog in the fight. ="
His sympathies were as wide as hui
manity, so at times he seemed to
lack in practical Judgment; at times
his sincerity even was doubted. I'm
doubtedly there was art in his course
at times, but it was only that he
might see his great humane purpose
the more certainly and speedily ac-
complished. 1t often seems pity
that this great orator and reformer so
relentlessly ignored the public station.
For his fame as an orator he was
wise in his course, bnt what was his
gain always seemed the public loss.
How he would have shone in the
House or Senate When the statue OF
Phillips shall adorn some square of
street in Boston, no filter words, ILL
ustrative of his work and character,
can be chiselled upon it than these :
Cover me with odium, shower
your arrows on me from every quar-
ter, from the Senate, the church,
will bear it all SO that thereby | may
take the slave by the hand, and lift
him up into an equality with myself y

TOWN SYSTEM OF SCHOOLS.

Let the friends of better common
schools in all parts of the state not
forget that the annual March meeting
is near at hand, and that one of the
articles in the warning for town
meeting should relate to the adoption
of town system of schools. This
is a matter which the friends of the
system, those familiar with its meth
DDS and its practical working where
it has been tried, should take ear
nestly in hand and place intelligently
before the voters. 1t is matter of
individual effort, for local discussion.
In this way those towns which have
adopted the system were prevailed
upon to give it trial, and by such
methods must the system make its
way into other localities. It's friends
in the towns where its adoption Is
desired must take the matter diIigent-
ly in hand, discuss it in the village
lyceum, if there is one, or by other
means propagate the facts in regard
to the system itself and its practical
working. Our information from the
town, which have recertly adopted
the system is to the effect that its
benefits are already visible in in
provements in the schoolhouses, il
better teachers and in the systema.
tlzing and regulation of school mat
tiers by strong and capable boarC

has been friction in the early work

A GREAT ORATOR DEAD.

Wendell Phillips, the great ortaor of
America, is dead. He expired peace
fully at his home in Boston, the city
of his birth, on Saturday evening, at
the age of 70. He had been suffer-
ing from heart disease for some time,
a disease that carried off his father
and brothers.
At another and an earlier time the
death of Wendell Phillips would have
wrapped New England in a cloud,
but he has been SO long retired from
the platform, the arena of his labors

Ellen White, and took the poor girl home
with her, retaining her first as visitor and
afterwards as a salaried companion, though
the relation between them soon grew to be
almost mother and daughter.

Ellen declined my proposal. She was a

sion could move her from it.

The Newspaper.

Here, now we have 1.-THE newspaper !!
Wonderful product of brain and toll One
would think that it should be dearly bought
and highly priced, and yet is the cheapest
thing in the world. One to five cents will
buy it; one to two dollars will bring it to
your home every week in the year, And
yet, strange to say, there are men "toa
poor" to take newspaper. They can pay
five cents for glass of beer, or ten cents
for beverage of unknown composition,
called cocktail they can pay half a
adollar for circus ticket, or twenty-five
cents for the theatre, but they are too poor
to buy newspaper, which is a ticket of
admission to the great Globe Theatre, whose
dramas were written by God himself,
''whose scene shifter is Time, and whose
curtains are rung down by Death. y 1t is
not necessary to speak of mighty RESPONSE
bilities which necessarily attach to the con-
troll of such power in the land as the
newspaper is to-day, nor to say that the
editor who rightly apprehends the import
ance of his work must bring to it reverent
spirit and constant care. The humblest
sheet in the land goes into some homes as
the only authoritative messenger from the
great world outside; its opinions are ac-
cepted as truth, and its suggestions have
the force of law. The editor stands on the
widest pulpit known in modern society,
"The lawyer has narrow sphere before
him; the senator and representative-the
walls hedge in their voices; the minister
has the parish walls about his church; but
there is pulpit that has no limit is the
Press. 1t is, literally, the voice of one that
cries in the wilderness; for all across the
populous land the papers speak; and there
is not in modern civilization a place OF
power that can compare with this" Rev
Dewitt Talmage once said 'ln the clank'
Ing Of the printing press, as the sheets fly
out, hear the voice of the Lord Almighty
proclaiming to all the dead nations Of the
earth: Lazarus, come forth = and to the
retreating surges in the darkness "Let
there be light = "
