lier. His many friends in Vermont as

Charlie learned his trade In this Of
flee, and we are glad to hear of his
"progression." He was originally
republican, but he saw his error before
he left the AGE office. He is IAN hon
est and honorable young man aud I'M
derstands his business. He is the only
son of our old friend, 4. c. Moore of

Andrew McKain has secured pen
sion of 81 a month and S233.G0 back
pay. through the agency of Gilbert A.
Davis. We congratulate our friend
McKain on his good iortunc-wish it
was more, think he deserves it. He
was a good soldier, and no Vermont
regiment suffered so many hardships as
the one of which he was a member,
from its organization until the muster
ing out.
No ladies have been to my office to
look over express packages Of any de-
scription, to my knowledge, neither
have they asked the privilege of doing
so. d. ID. DAVIS.
The above is called out by an item
in the AGE Of two weeks 60, rejecting

No doubt the rnmor that Mr.. Davis
was called on, was based on the action
the ladies took in a local liquor prose-
cution.

The visit Of Mrs: j. L. Perkins to
Woodstock last Sunday evening, at
which time she entertained the citizens
Of this place with a lecture in the
town hall, satisfied lis, who had never
met her, not only that she is fitted to
grace che position which she occupies
at the head of the w. c. r. U. of our
State, but also that our Union made no
mistake in putting her name first on its
list of lecturers. Her illustrations of
the magnitude of our loss and suffering
from intemperance, and her account of
the origin Of the w. C. T. T.; its
purpose, manner of work, and its sue
cess, must incitc its workers to re-
newed effort, as we'll as command the
respect and God speed of all who
heard her. Mrs. Perkins is making
an extended tour through the State,
visiting most Of the local Unions. The
collection at the close of the mass
meeting amounted to S12.05.
