Temperance Picnic.


The report from the Lyndonville
temperance picnic, is that it was the
largest meeting of the young mems
Caledonia county temperance society
ever held; that the speaking, singing
and exercises throughout were the best
in the history of the society. The
meeting was presided over by Presi-
dent w. l.. Pearl, who called attention
to the fact that this was the 50th an
niversary of the organization of the So
ciety and reviewed the progress OF
temperance reform in the meantime
At no time in the history of this or
ganization, said he, have there been so
many voices uplifted, so many hearts
throbbing, so many striking glad
hands of fellowship in the one great
resolve to destroy the saloon power in
this country and save our land from
the destructive rule of the rum Oligar-
chy, as to-day. A refreshing wave of
high resolve has passed over our
country. Her noblest women and tru-
est men have been pleading with each
other and with God in behalf of per-
sonal sobriety and temperance, pro-
noted by the gospel of our Lord.
After further remarks appropriate
to the hour the advertised speakers
were introduced. Rev. C. S. Perkins
of Lyndon Centre, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the association,
made brief and pertinent address.
Rev. James l.. Phillips of Miandpore,
India, followed with a partic ularly
able and interesting address. He drew
a graphic picture of the condition OF
! India before the introduction of civili-
cation and New England rum, and the
evils of intemperance that have pre-
vailed since. Then followed an ac-
count of the temperance work In
engaged and an earnest plea for con-
stitutional prohibition.
| In the afternoon Rev. X. Christie OF
| Sheffield gave statistical address and
was followed by Rev. G.. NJ. LamsOn of
st. Johnsbury, who urged the substi-
tuition of good for evil not only in the
hearts of the people but in commune
ties, governments, etc., and that in so
far as the good displaced the bad, SC
far was progressive temperance work
practicable and encouraging. Remarks
followed by Rev. Mr.. Cushing and 9TH
ers. The singing was by the st. Johns
bury quartet, Messrs. Humphrey, May,
Silsby and Tyler, Miss Clara Wheeler
presiding at the organ. Over 500 were

Sale of Henry Stevens Library.

The auction sale of the library of the
late Henry Stevens, whose death was
chronicled i'm these columns some
months ago, and was so long buyer for
the British museum, took place in Lon
don last week, and there were few
buyers, it is said, because of the cleo
ton excitement. One result was that
prices were generally low, and another
that most of the books will come to
America, which is very we'll, as most
of them relate to American history and
literature. There were 6O3 books sold
for something less than $4,000. Ber-
nard Quaritch was a considerable buy
err; others were B. F. Stevens. brother
of the collector of the library, the lat
ter's son, and Sabin of New York, prin-
cipally on American commissions.

Supreme Court Decisions.


Two decisions have been rendered
by the supreme court in cases that
came up at the last term. In the case
of Saville, SOmes 81 Co. VS. j. G.. Welch,
Judgment was rendered for the defend
ant. This was replevin suit to re-
cover some tea sold to j. G.. Welch of
Lyndon after he had failed. The iudg-
ment of the county court was that the
plaintiff could not recover and this
judgment is affirmed by the supreme
court. CahoOn & Hoffman for plain
tiff and Harry Blodgett for defendant.
In the case of John Dixon VS. w. B.
Blondin of McIndOes, a replevin suit
to recover a horse and harness from
the defendant, judgment was rendered
in the county court for plaintiff to
which defendant took exceptions. The
supreme court rendered judgment for
the plaintiff for one cent damage, af-
firming the judgment of the county
court as to the harness, but revers-
ing it as to the horse. Judgment foI
defendant for the return of the horse
with one cent damages and costs in
| this court.

Another Great Cure bv DIR. Gage.

Some three months ago DR.. Levi B. Dodge of
Waterford was very lew with kidney disease and
the physicians ceased to prescribe. declaring that
he was beyond medical aid. A statement of the
case was, as last resort, sent to DR.. q. G.. Gage
the gifted New England Honbalist, now located at
26 West 3lst St., N. " who sent medicines with
out seeing the patient which have worked wonders
The cure of DIR. Dodge is indeed wonderful consid-
ering that his age is nearly seventy. He drove
down to LttletOn last week in order to see and
press his gratitude to his benefactOr.
WONDERFUL CURE DIR. GAGE
Was that of the child of Mr.. James McCarty of
the Van Ness House, Burlington. Local physie-
ans pronounced the case utterly beyond help and
ceased to prescribe. Dr. Gage called who at
once discovered that the real seit of the disease
had not been discovered Under proper treatment
by DR.. Gage an improvement was soon perceptible
and in short time the little sufferer was restored
to health, and can now be seen playing with other
children. l.. S. Drew, Esq. of the Van Ness House
and hundreds of others can corrobOrate this state

A Suggestion.


A st. JOhnsbury Centre correspon-
dent calls attention to the OppOrtuni-
ty the present low water in the Pas
sumpsic offers the selectmen to i'm
prove the navigation up the river,
without calling on Congress for aid.
At the Centre in many places gravel
and logs have accumulated in the cen
tire of the stream causing the current
to deepen the channel near the banks
and in some cases causing the banks
to give way. In one instance last
winter considerable expense for brush
and gravel for repairs was incurred
A few days work now by men with
wheelbarrows would remove the OBJ
structiOns from the main channel and
put them near the banks and prevent
! further trouble.

Rev. Mr.. Dawson began his work
with the Free Baptist society Sunday
morning. He prefaced his sermon
with a few explanatory remarks in re-
lation to his coming to this church.
He said he left one of the pleasantest
pastorates he had ever held and which
he believed the finger of God pointed
this way. He came here to work and
not to play, to help build up Christian
ity in this community, and trusted he
would have the aid of the church in
this work. Then followed a very in
teresting sermon.
