At the annual meeting Of the Congrega-

Moody treasurer, S. w. Knbal The treas
urers report showed that thsyear's expenses,
about 5000, had been met, and that the IL
nances OF the society were ID good condition.
The meeting adjourned fortwo weeks. On
Tuesday evening the annual rental OF the
pews took place
The Y. NJ. @. A., assisted by ladies Of the
auxiliary, held a New Years reception at the
association rooms last evening, which was
quite largely attended. The rooms are now
very tastefully fitted mp. The adies have
lately furnished a handsome carpet and sevo-
raj upholstered chairs for the parlor a pair
of fine large engravings loaned by Col. E,tey,
with other pictures, adOrn the walls lace
curtains (the gift of Mr.. N. l. Hawley), with
potted plants, statuary, etc, grace the large
front window and, with the added adorn-
ment afforded by festoons and wreaths Of ev-
ergreens and flowers supplied by G. T.. Allen
and others, the rooms on this occasion pre-
sented particularly attractive appearance.
Refreshments we're served, an air Of genuine
homelikeness reigned, hymns were sung, and
altogether the evening passed pleasantly for
all present
The mlkmen initiated Divy Crocketts
coon and promptly 'came down before the
boilers bad time TO organize an opposition
route aud now milk is supplied at FIVE cents
| a quart by the new measure. The Union
| Protective society, however, at its meeting
held last Saturday evening, adopted resolu.
| ton declaring that wine measure 10 the sale
of milk is fraud on the public, and pledg-
| ing themselves ito buy no milk except by the
/ old standard milk measure" The meeting
was largely attended aud a committee was
chosen to investigate the matter, but il is not
| expected that any further action will be tax
en- since the milkmen have reduced their
| price. This reduction having been made,
/ it is probably better, on the whole, that the
| Vermont milk quart should correspond 10 size
with that used in neghboring states, but all
| the same it doesn't take much figuring &c
show that by the change the Bratteboro milk
men have cheated themselves out Of about
| $4,000 of sales each year. With nineteenth,
| Of their customers quart will have to go foi
quart, whether small or large, and at esti
mated sales of 500 quarts day the difference
in receipts for the small quarts will amount
/ TO tue sum named in years time
