Royalton is comparatively small town,
the last census giving it a population of
1,55S, but among the notables 1t has sent
out into the world is Joseph Smith, the
founder of Mormonism, said to be the only
original religion America has produced, our
other religions having originated on the
Eastern Hemisphere. December %, 1905,
was the birthday of Joseph Smith, Jr. The
house in which he was born stood in Royal
ton, within from ten to twenty feet of
Sharon line. The Smith farm lies in Sharon,
and, practically, for voting and taxation
purposes, the family belonged to Sharon.
The house long since went to decay, the
cellar and its walls only remaining to mark
the birthplace of the famous Mormon
prophet The farm is now owned by B. G.
Latham the old cellar being half a mile
from any present dwelling-house. The
father of the prophet was Familiarity called
Crook Necked 10, because he carried his
head one side on account OF some defect.
The hero of Mormonism was six feet in
height and of stout, muscular build. AT

became convert to the Roman Catholic
Church, and for years was editor of Broom
sons Quarterly ReUielc, which at first was
published in Boston and subsequently in
New York city. He died in 1876. He was
prominently the Roman Catholic cham
pion of America. He was an able political
writer, and as a metaphyscan was hardly
second to any metaphysician this country
has produced.
Truman Henry Stafford the noted mathe-
matician, is one of the most marked and dis
tinguished men in his speciality the present
age has produced. He was born in Royal
ton January q, 1896 and is now just past
fifty years of age. His father was farmer
of superior intelligence His mother had
followed the vocation of a teacher and had
an excellent scholarly reputation. Young
Stafford had very frail organization during
infancy requiring the tenderest care. At
three years of age he commenced attending
school, but his taste for school was far from
being ilattering. He had a way of his own.
When twenty months old he learned his
letters from blocks, each of which had
letter upon it. He mastered Adams New
Arithmetic in four days, when 1t was laid on
the shelf. AT the age Of six he remarked to
his mother If he knew how many rods IL
was round the meadow he could tell its
circumference in barleycorns She ascer-
tanned from his father that the field con-
tanned 1,040 rods. He thought few mo-
ments and then gave the answer, without

he was nine years old he would almost in
stantly give the result of four figures multi
piled by four figures. AT the age of nine he
could multiply five figures by five figures.
He seemed to acquire all sorts of knowledge
with little seeming effort. AT the age of ten
years he prepared an almanac. His fame soon
went abroad and he was visited by eminent
men from various parts of the country. In
1854 Truman graduated at Harvard. He
was employed on the Nautical Almanac and
at the Cambridge Observatory till 1866, when
he left for Chicago, ILL.,, to take charge of
the observatory there. From 1871 to 1876 he
was chiefly in the government employ,
mainly on astronomical works. In 1876 Mr..
Stafford accepted the professorship of as
tronomy at Williamstown College, Mass,
founded by Hon. ID. ID. Field, where he is at
the present time. He is now preparing for

published in honor of the ffteth anniver-
sary of the oldest observatory in the coun-
try.--JOurndl.

Vermont Politics.

In the Boston Journal of Saturday
Forbes " has an interesting letter on the
coming political campaign in this state We
copy the main portions, as follows
"The movements on the political checker
board in Vermont promise to be of much
interest to all observers during the coming
six months. The republican state con-
vention for the nomination of a governor,
acknowledgements treasurer, secretary of
state and state auditor will probably be
held at Montpelier some time in June. The
republican conventions for the first and
second congressional districts will not meet
much before August l. The various county
conventions to nominate state senators and
local officers are likely to be held during the
interval between the meeting of the state and
district conventions. The republican state
committee has not yet met TO fix the time and
place for the state convention, but the I'M
written law of precedent makes it pretty
certain that some place in the second con-
gressional district, probably Montpelier,
will be selected this year. inasmuch as the
last convention was held at Burlington,
which lies in the first district.
"The state convention will be called upon
to nominate candidates to succeed Governor
Samuel Il. Pingree, Lieutenant-governor e..
j. Ormsbee, Treasurer William III. Dubois,
Secretary of State G. w. Porter and State
Auditor f. H. Powell. A state committee
will also be chosen by the convention. There
is no apparent opposition to the renomina-
ton of Treasurer DUBOIS, secretary OF state
Porter and Auditor Powell. Each one OF
these officials have been faithful and efficient
public servants and should receive unani-

vention
