Those who remember the manly form
of Z. f. Pillsbury, the handsome demo-
cratic lawyer and editor of Maine,
would be surprised to see him to-day.
His once erect form and fine carriage is
now bent and his face is the picture of
disease. am told that he is troubled
with Il complication of diseases, and his
best friends do not expect him to liv e
long. 1t is understood that his political
reyerses have had not little to do with
his broken health Here was n man who
to-day could have been rich man, if he
had only stuck to his profession and let
politics alone, but he had an itching for
congressional honors, and deserted what
might have been probably the best pay
ing practice in Maine to run after the
tickle goddess. His cause ought to be
warning to would he politicians.

Presbyterian Church Trial.

The Vermont Presbytery of the Re-
formed Presbyterian church which met
in this place on Tuesday the 10th,
concluded it's session on Thursday the
10Th. The chief business before the
Presbytery at this time was the trial of
NJ. w. Angler who was charged with
being the cause of the breaking up of
his family. The evidence was fully
heard on both sides. In defending
himself against this charge Mr.. Angler
brought forward great many wit
nesses, who from their residence here
and acquaintance with his family had
knowledge of some of the facts in the
case, and their examination was pro-
tracted by the very severe cross-ex-
animation given them by Revs. Laird,
McFall and William Graham of Boston
who acted as prosecutors for the Pres
bytery. At the conclusion of the trial
the Presbytery adopted the following
resolution: Resolved that this Pres
bytery having fully and with great care
examined this case, finds no reason for
sustaining this charge"

RECENT DEATHS.

JENKs.-Mrs. Esther jerks passed
away on last Sabbath at the advanced
age of Sc. Mrs. jerks formerly lived
i'm Burke where her husband died some
years ago. Last Christmas she came
to this place with the hope of being
able to get out to church and other
places more than she could do where
she formerly lived. After being here
only three weeks she fell in her room
and broke her hip, and although her
death was not perhaps the result of
that accident, she never walked again.
She has been tenderly cared for these
months by Mrs. Jane Ward. She was
member of the Baptist church at
Burke, and leaves no children.

TEMPERANCE CAMP MEETING.
Successful Meetings at LyndonviIIe-
Speeches by st. John, Finch and Mrs,
j. Ellen Foster.

Successful Meetings at Lyndonvi1Ie-
Speeches by st. John, Finch and Mrs.
j. Ellen Foster.
The last of three union temperance
camp meetings in this state was held
at LyndOnville Thursday. The other
Missisquoi park on Tuesday and the
second at MOrrisville on Wednesday.
The weather was fine and there was a
large attendance at all the meetings.
At LyndOnville Ex-Gov. st. John of
Kansas was the morning speaker. He
held the close attention of the large
audience for nearly two hours, begin
ming with general discussion of the
temperance question and producing a
startling array of statistics to prove
the evil of the traffic. The last half
hour was devoted to a presentation of
the hopeless attitude of both the re-
publican and democratic parties in re-
latiOn to the temperance question.
There was no great issue and little
difference between the parties and the
one and only hope for the prohibition
lists lay in the third party movement.
st. John made a good impression on
the audience and was frequently ap-
plauded.
During the noon hour the county
w. G. IT. U. held devotional meeting
in the st. JOhnsbury tent which was
addressed by Mrs. j. Ellen Foster and
those who were able to get inside the
somewhat cramped quarters counted it
a rare bit of good fortune.
J. b. Finch of Illinois was the after
noon speaker. Mr.. Finch gave his
tory of the rise and progress of good
templary of which he stands, to day,
at the head. The rest of the address
was substantially the same as given
here by Mr.. Finch a month or more
ago. He spoke very effectively and
was frequently interrupted with APP
plause. Mrs. Foster was the speaker
in the evening and gave an extended
account of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. She is u pleasant
and able speaker and gave good salts
faction at this her first appearance in
this section of the state.
The people over in the other part of
the state didn't do much toward foot
ing the bills of the association so an
unusual portion of the time was taken
up in raising funds at the LyndOnvil!e
meetings, enough being raised to pay
all expenses. Heretofore the associa-
ton has held every year a three days
meeting in one place. The experiment
of holding days meeting in each of
three different places for the first time
tried this year, has proven a success
and will probably be followed here
after.
At the business meeting of the asso-
citation these officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, Rev. R..
Morgan of Bellows Falls; secretary,
G.. L. Story of st. Adams treasurer,
c. w. Wyman of Brattleboro execu-
tive committee, w. j. johnson of st.
Adams, w. L. Pearl of st. JOhnsbury
Joel Allen of johnson, G. r. Drew of
Danville, Rev. G.. S. Chase of Irasburg.

Railroad Matters.

Railroad Matters.
1t is reported that whatever may be
the result of the action seeking to an
null the lease of the Northern to the
Boston and Lowell railroad the extern
sion of the Pemigewassett Valley Line
from North Woodstock to Fabyan's
will be begun in the near future, and
railroad will be utilized in the extern
sion.
Among the local rumors that have
taken on more or less definite shape is
one that sooner or later somewhat ex-
tended changes will be made in the
divisions of the Vermont division of
the B. & L. road. North Concord
seems likely to be a more important
point i'm the new arrangement and
there is some talk that the trains will
be run in three divisions the first from
the lake to Greensboro, the second
from Greensboro to North Concord
and the third from North Concord to
WoOdsville. The officers of the road
were here last Thursday and went up
and down the road looking over the
ground.
One reason and very practical one
why the machine shops of the B. & l..
road are likely to be removed from
here is because the company owns no
land about the depot, everything being
held by the Passumpsic road and their
buildings all being on this land. The
actual loss to st. Johnsbury of these
shops will not be very great as the
force has all along been reduced to the
minimum
