The East Alburgh correspondent of the
Swanton courier tells of an incident that
occurred several years ago. in which
Minister f. j. Phelps, the late Chief JUS
tice Pierpoint and Parson Cady of AL
burgh figured. 1t seems that the two
former gentlemen were duck-hunting
near Alburgh, and succeeded in shooting
several ducks. They were hungry, and
conceived the idea of roasting some duck
over an eXtempOrized fire. Accordingly,
they went upon the land of Parson Cady
and there seized upon some rails, with
which they built fire. The parson, dis
covering that they had msappropriated
his property, approached them and Sc
verely censured the legal gentlemen for
stealing his rails At this Minister
Phelps invited the parson into his tent, in
his polite way. and finally induced him to
take some of the duck. The parson be-
came pleased with the cooking, and left
with many apologies for his language
when he found out who the gentlemen
were. Whereupon the Judge remarked
to Phelps that he would make good
diplomatist-and sure enough, the duck
diplomatist is now diplomatist ut the
court of st. James.

From Another Correspondent
The young people composing the class
of Mrs. f. G.Wright in the Whiting Con-
gregational Sabbath school met by invi-
tation of their teacher at the residence of
F. G. Wright on Thursday evening. Aug.
20, to spend a social evening. Among the
entertainments was class paper, to
which nearly all the members of the
class contributed. 1t was very well read
by A. j. Huntley and contained some
sharp hits on those present, causing much
merriment. There was a history of the
class from Cne time III was organized, IN
May, 1884, with five members, who
chose Mrs. Wright as teacher. to the
present time, when it contains % mem
bers between the ages of If and / years.
Teacher and scholars seem to vie with
each other in making it a source of pleas
ure and profit and in keeping up the in
terest of the class and increasing the
numbers. The evening was very pleas
antly passed with variety of games and
music, both instrumental and vocal. The
German dwarf, who was present. con
tributed greatly to the amusement of the
company. The refreshments consisted
of ice-cream, cake, confectionery and so
forth. The young people separated at a
reasonable hour, each feeling that the
evening spent with their loved and re-
spected teacher would long be remem-
bered as bright spot in their lives.
