As TO Drunkenness.

Do you know, children, that the most
terrible evil in all the world is drunken
ness, that it causes more woe and wick
edness than all other evils combined? 1t
ends in poverty, misery, shame and
death. Yet its beginnings lie in the
beautiful, sparkling wine, the innocent
apparently harmless, sweet cider. Wine
has been compared to serpent, which
glides so quietly through the grass that
You never suspect its approach nor fear
its coming until its deadly fang has
stung you and there is no hope. little
children, as soon as they can write,
should sign the pledge, for if they never
touch cider. nor beer, nor wine, there
is no danger of their ever being drunk

a little boy happened to be near the
gallows where young man was TO be
hung. As he stood there the sheriff said
to the man who was to die: "Yor have

boy went home and signed the pledge.
Do not wait, little children, until some
terrible sorrow reveals to you what a
deeadful curse this is, but now in your
youth, resolve never to touch, taste, nor
handle the accursed stuff. And do
what you can to help remove the evil.

DEATH OF MISS CIuTTENBI =

Miss Arabella Chittcnden, the last Of
the Hneal descendants in Williston, bear
ing the name Of the historic family
which gave its name to our county, and
furnished Vermont with a governor for
20 of the 10Y years of its State life, died
in WillistoWn during the past week. A
plain marble slab in the village cemetery
at WillistCWn, bears the name of Thorn
as Chittendcn, orr first governor and
the first settlers of our county. Three
Of his four Sons with their wives are
buried near by. One of them was the
seventh governor OF the State, bat on
his simple monument il only the i'll
scription, ''The Honorable Martin Chit
tenden." Here are also the graves Of
seven of the first governors grandchil-
dren, and Miss Arabella was the second
of the great-grandchildren, TO be added
to the list. The widow of a grandson
still lives in Williston, though over 90
years of age. She with one great great

Williston. The old home bull. by the
first governor still stands. Six genera
tons have looked upon it as their ances-
trail home. The individual members of
those generations have been numbered
by hundreds, yet, so far as we know,
with the exception of two widows, not
one of them who bears the family naIne
is still living in Chittenden county. Of
three of the six generations only two
representatives are known to be alive.
Of the fourth, Miss Arabella's genera
tons, only about one-half a score of
male descendants still bear the name.
Yet the first governor had 10 children,
and by three of his sons he had IS
grand children.-Bur. Free Press

The Dead eX-PreSident,

At $50 o'clock on last Thursday
morning, General Grant, after a
long and painful term of physical
suffering, died at the Drexel cot
tage, Mount McGregor, N. Y.
His death removes from the path
of life one of the most conspicuous
characters of, modern times.
Millions of American citizens will
accord him the highest rank in the
history of the country, while other
millions will regard his greatness
as the offspring of infatuation. Flu
ture generations may, in the light
of history, learn to value his char
acter more moderately. Patriot
ism, ambition and an iron will are
the characteristics that made him
great. From the rank of Colonel
at the commencement of the late
civil war he rose to the command of
The United States army, and twice
became President.
Throughout all his public career
fate marked him as her favorite.
AS Phillips said of Napoleon, "for-
tune played the clown to his cap
rices.' .a .'
Gen. Grant had some traits of
character and impulses of heart
that won the admiration of many
Southern people who will always
remember him as a good man, if.
not in fact a great one.
WHY so LoNG!--For the life of
us, we cannot see why Gov. Nc
Emery is daily postponing the fix
ing of the day on which the Muir
ply ulurderers Pat. Ford and Jno.
Murphy are to be hung. The peo-
pie in the country are at loss to
such hardness on the
part Of the "head officer" and would
lay the blame at that important
personage's door. These two men,
as also the others who were sent to
the State penitentiary) were given
a fair trial, and were found guilty
of murder in the first degree and
but one thing is now left--they
must cxpiate their foul crime on
the gallows, If our brethren of
the press will but join us, we feel
sure 'his excellency' will hasten up
the day of execution.
