Stray Shots.

Mrs. SARAH COLLINS of Orange, who
has been receiving pension for several
years as the widow of Luther Collins,
has had her pension taken from her
under the act of congress that forfeits
such pensions when such pensioners
are living and cohabiting with men to
whom they are not married.
GENERAL BLACK, the commissioner
of pensions, has requested the attorney
general to bring a suit against the pen
sion agent and his bondsmen at Phila-
delphia for money unlawfully disbursed
in paying fraudulent pensions, and has
directed the suspension of one hundred
two pensions at that agency.
THERE is to be an excursion of the
old soldiers, next September, to the bat
tle-fields of Virginia. The number
from New England is limited to four
hundred. There will be shooting
matches between the soldiers of the
different states, and also between the
Union and the Confederate soldiers.
Vermont should not only be repre-
sented in such contest, but able to
take the prize, for there were no better
shots made by any soldiers during the
war than by those from this state. Col
onel Fred Z. Smith of Montpelier will
be pleased to give full information of
the excursion and of the shooting
matches to any who wish to join the
party. The application should be made
Immediately, as the number who can
go from Vermont is limited.

A Sneezing Congregation.

In the midst of the services in Bos-
ton church, not many Sundays ago, the
congregation were suddenly seized with
a paroXysm of uncomfortable sneezing.
1t started with small boys in back
pew, and swept up towards the pulpit
like cyclone. 1t took in the deacons,
it woke up the pateJdmilios, it set the
quartette off on a new tune and finally
reached up and took a firm hold of the
preacher. And when the whole assem-
bly, got well warmed up to the business,
we are creditably informed that such
an uproar was never heard outside the
barracks of the Salvation Army. Some
of them just held on to the pews in
front and sneezed until it did seem as
if their heads would fly off. For few
minutes every member of the congre-
cation took such lively interest in the
proceedings that they had no time to
spare for investigations. Finally the
sexton, finding himself disengaged for
breath or two, ran out, opened the
doors, and proceeded to look into the
matter. The cause of the catastrophe
was found to be cargo of pepper,
which, during the previous week, had
been stored in the cellar. The enter
prising trustees had rented the place to
grocer. - Christian al Work.

the service and at discharge. He would
cheerfully furnish proof indicated, if in
his power, to establish his right to a
pension. He had nothing to do with
the making of the records of the war
department or the prison where he was
confined, and it is no fault of his that
they fail to show the existence of said
diseases while in the military service.
Neither is he to be prejudiced because,
after period of twenty years, the sur
geons and physicians have died or for
gotten the facts and particulars of his
case. He insists that his case should
be considered on the best attainable
evidence that can be adduced under
the circumstances surrounding it. His
testimony is mainly that of reliable,
disinterested witnesses, who were with
him in the service, and those who knew
him prior and subsequent to the SER
vice, and who testify to facts person
ally known to them. If the evidence
already filed in his claim is believed to
be insufficient to warrant the granting
of pension, while he is not aware
that he can furnish further medical tes-
timony, he can furnish further testi-

knowledge who are not medica! experts,
and testimony that, in his opinion,
would be as safe to act upon as medical
testimony. In the case of Horatio n.
Scott, Secretary Schurz rendered de-
cision, April 20, 1878, in which he says:
"The department does not concur in
the view that the connection of such a
disability with the service could be
proved only by medical evidence; it is
desirable that the facts of such cases
as that under consideration should be
shown by medical evidence when it is
obtainable, but cases may arise in which
other evidence could be accepted as suf-
ficient proof" In the claim of Frank
Renhard it was decided that when a
claim for pension based on rheumatism,
incurred while prisoner of war, and
the fact appears that the soldier, for
eleven months Immediately preceding
his discharge, was in rebel prisons,
that other than medical testimony
should be accepted to show condition
and discharge and continuance of the
disability, and that the origin of disease
in line of duty be accepted. The appel
liant prays that Gf deemed necessary
by the Department. special examiner
of the pension office investigate his
case, question his witnesses and take
their testimony in full, and that such
other and further action may be taken by
the department that the truth may be
ascertained and justice done in his case
for pension.

Hon. G.. G.. Benedict of Burlington.
We cannot tell when it will be pub

A SOLDIER, JERICHO.-You should
make your complaint to the pension
office. If one-half of the complaints
that come to our Office against the med
ical board at Burlington were for
warded to Washington, we think it
would soon cause a change in the board.
c. W, MoRETowN, writes that he is a
Union soldier, drawing a pension of 81
a month-old, feeble and homeless
and desires to know where and how he
can enter a soldiers home. The Ma
tional Soldiers Home at Togus, about
five miles from Augusta, Maine, will
receive and care for you. Your pension
certificate will be all the evidence you
will need to gain admission. Your old
comrade and neighbor, Francis Story,
is there, and will welcome you. You
should apply for an increase of your
pension.

the commissioned officers of the Yer
mont regiments. Those of each regi-
ment are in large frame separate from
the other regiments. The pictures are
of the size of small photographs. 1t
has been several years since the collec-
ton was commenced, and not more
than one-half of the officers pictures
have been secured up to date. These
pictures are objects of attraction to
visitors at the Capitol, and it would be
well to have them completed.

What One Person Can DO.

One persOn-male or female-in a
can weaken a PASTORS in
huence, and finally disrupt the pastoral
relation, by persevering and depreca-
tory criticism. No minister can stand
long with foe or two of this kind in
his congregation; for no man is per-
feet, and when there is some one to di-
rect the attention of his audience ha-
bitually to his defects, he certainly will
fail, sooner or later. Unfortunately,
in almost every parish there is some
one person who is credited with "boss-
ing the rector" Just keep up the cry,
" Oh, yes; he is a good man enough, but
he is not as good preacher as l have
heard" Speak it ever so tenderly and
lovingly, and that minister is doomed!
When he hears it-as he certainly will
let him take his wardrobe and flee to
the mountains-Or somewhere else
for the storm is near at hand! A plain,
earnest preacher once entered the pull
pit of fashionable church, in which
the hearers were supposed to eXhort
the minister to help them heavenward
delicately. The preacher went right
on, as was his duty, telling the people,
not exactly rhetorically, but strictly ac-
cording to the Holy Bible, that they
were sinners against God and in dan
ger of hell. In the audience were a
man and his wife-he irreligious, she a
professor of religion. No sooner had
they reached the pavement, at the close
of the service, than she began heart
less criticism of the preacher and his
sermon--how he was rough, unrefined
and lacked all the requisites which
make the orator. The train of remark
was kept up until it became noticeable
that her husband made no reply. She
turned and looked into his face. He
was weeping-a convicted sinner. Let
parents beware what they say about the
sermon or the preacher before their
children, in whose hearts the Word of
God may be seeking a lodgment. Why
pray in the morning for the conversion
of sinners, and then, by cold criticism
of the sermon, neutralize the very
means by which it pleases God to save?

Pension Cases Decided.

HON. l.. q. &. LAMAR, secretary of the
interior, has rendered the following de-
cision in the pension claim of Albert
Lawrence of West Charleston, VT,
who claimed a pension as a dependent
father of George H. Lawrence, late of
Company X, Tenth Regiment, Vermont
Volunteers. The applicant ought not
to complain of this decision if the facts
tary, for no dependent father in Yer
mont ever received pension under a
similar state of facts. The testimony
furnished by the claimant, and that
taken by the special examiner, showed
that in 1864, the year in which the SOL
der died, claimant was about fifty
years old and in good health for man
ofhis age, with the exception of an asth-
matte trouble, which in the last sew
eral years has grown much worse. In
1864 he owned farm of about two hun
dred acres and about one thousand dol
lars worth of stock. This farm was
sold in 1883 by claimant for three
thousand dollars and, after paying his
debts, he now has two thousand dollars
at interest. The evidence shows that
claimant, by what manual labor he
could perform, and from the income de-
rived from the products of his farm,
supported his family comfortably in
1864 and for number of years there
after. The law provides that depend
ence in whole or in part must be shown
to exist at the time of the soldiers death
1t is true that the soldier lived with his
parents and worked on the farm up to
the time of enlistment, but the evidence
does not show that his help was neces-
sary for the claimants comfortable sup
port. The claimant was not. within the
meaning of the law, dependent upon the
soldier for support at the time of his
death, and is not entitled to pension.

Freeman Gauthier, which we give be-

His claim was rejected August 7, 1888
