THE Y. II. c. A. BUILDING FUND.
List of the Subscriptions So Far Reported
"A Total of Nearly Six Thousand Dollars.

Below will be found the names Of the sub
scribers to the fund for the new Y. NJ G. Asso-
citation building, so far as reported to the secre-
tary. Several Of the committees have not
yet reported, so that the amount actually
subscribed is really larger than here
appears Additional subscriptions will be ac-
knowledged from day to day in any amounts.
1t is evident that the bulk Of the subscriptions
will come from the great body of the people, as
was expected and really hoped so that as many
as possible may be interested in the building
and its work. However, it is reasonable to sup
pose that many of the leading and well-to do
citizens will be creditably and generously repre-
scented in the lists.

From the st. Johnsbury Caledonian.l
Rev $ w. Dixie of Royalton, the apostle
of divorce reform, says that Vermont has
the best record on divorces in New England
Mr.. Dixie refers to the law passed in 1884
requiring all lbes for divorce to he filed at
tine term of court preceding the one in
which they are heard, which insures delay
of six months This law works well, serv-
ing 10 delay hasty action on the part of
discontinued couples. From POP divorces
in 1884 the record fell TO "a in 1885 The
law is such that great publicity is secured in
the trial of divorce cases, the states attor-
ney being obliged to appear in all suits in be
half of the state. Mr.. Dixie says that the
town clerks have become more careful in
issuing certificates of marriage and the
ministers are more particular in the matter
of marrying strangers and persons who
have been divorced. He notes, also, that
in Vermont and New Hampshire the most
divorces in proportion to marriages occur
not in the counties that contain the largest
towns and cities nor ON the borders of New
York and Canada, but amoug the scattered
rural population where the conserving
forces of the better churches and better so
cial customs are less generally felt and
where the sense of membership in society
is less keen Still, the feeling prevails
that there is large opportunity for reform
even in Vermont.
