A BRAVE SOLDIER.
The Story OF General G. j. Stannard'
Life.

| The Story of General G. j. STANDARDS
Life.
The following story of Gen. Stan
nards life is compiled from an exhaus-
tive article in the Burlington Free
Press.
While, on Memorial day, the people
were covering sOdded graves with
| flowers, new grave was opening fol
the brave general, who by common &C
cord has borne for many a year the
| title of VermOnt's representative sol
der. While the veterans and citizens
were marching and bands were play
ing in Burlington, and banners bear
ing his name embodied in that of the
soldiers post were borne aloft in the
| bright sunshine, General Stannard lay
dying in distant city.
George Jennison Stannard-the sixth
son of Samuel and Rebecca Stannard-
was born in the town of Georgia, VT,
on the Goth of October, 1920. The
family is of English descent. His
| grandfather came to Vermont from
Connecticut, and settled in Fairhaven.
Young Stannard had such education as
the common schools of the state afford
ed at that time, supplemented by two
terms of instruction in the academies
of Georgia and Bakersfield. He work
ed on the farm in summer and taught
district school in winter until 1S45
when he entered the Office of the
st. Adams Foundry company and in
1860 engaged in the foundry business
with E. A. Smith and was thus engag-
ed at the outbreak of the war.
Young STANDARDS military tastes
early showed themselves. For some
years he had been prominently identi-
fed with the state militia. On Presi-
dent Lincoln's first call for volunteers
he at once rendered his services, by
telegraph, to Gov. Notwithstanding,
it is believed, the first Vermonter to
volunteer. The I'd regiment of Ver-
mont volunteers was organized in May,
and Stannard was commissioned as it's
Lieut.. Colonel-it being deemed best
by the governor Tin which opinion
Stannard coincided) to give the chief
command to West Point graduate of
some experience in active service.
Lieut.. Col. Stannard was mustered into
the U. S. service, with the regiment, at
Burlington, on the 18th of June, 1861,
by Col. John Rains, afterwards of the
rebel army, and left for the field on
the oath of June, 1861. The regiment
took part in the first battle of Bull
Run, and in this, the first pitched bat
tie of the war, Col. Stannard exhibited
the qualities of personal bravery and
self-pOssessiOn which always distin-
guisAed him in action. Soon after the
colonelcy of the Sd regiment was offer
ed to him and with characteristic mod
esty declined.
The Vermont regiments then in SER
vice went into camp near Chain Bridge
in the fall of 1861. Lieut.. Col. Stan
nard was the first officer to cross the
bridge. at the head of detachment,
and frequently led scouting parties

A SHORT JOURNEY.

1t embraced short stop at Green's
borO pond, Hardwick and Calais. At
Greensboro we found c. S. Conant fit
ting up a summer boarding house,
which is to be place desirable for any
who wish quiet, fine scenery, good
air and fishing, for although the scribe
of The Caledonian who told the only
"true" fish story since the world began
did not catch any fish from Greensboro
pond, the fact that he found where
fishermen got their supply proves that
trout are to be had out of its waters if
the right parties do the fishing.
We struck Hardwick Saturday fore
noon and were much surprised at the
business activity of the place. The
main street was well filed with teams
and the merchants in the several stores
were all busy attending the wants of
customers. We were informed it was

What 1t Does !:

1t protects against adversely in business
1t is protection for lite insurance policies.
1t is an investment and a protection combined.
1t is better than U. S. Governments, and equally
secure.
1t protects dependent ones against the contin-
gency OF death.
1t is safe, sure and desirable Investment, and
within the reach of all
1t guarantees that certain amount of money,
with interest will be accumulated in g. specified
time
The amount that life insurance would cost should
be credited profit the Bond it takes the
place of such insurance
The instruments paid are like deposits made in a
Savings Bank and are returned to the Bond holder
at his option.
The Bond natures at specified time, at pre-
viOus death for its face value, and guarantees a
definite sum in cash any year after the first.
The instruments paid on the Bond can be used in
business by hypothecating it. This is great adj
money they can command or raise.
The 100000 policies, representing over two bill
lions of dollars of lapsed surrendered insurance
between 1870 and 1880 would have been saved by
these Bonds.
The Bond is not hampered by any conditions or
restrictions and its cash value cannot be impaired
or JeOpardized.
The Bond affords the very best security, and is
negotiable the same any other bond or stock.
Under this Bond you PAY as you go. Stop

Playing Burglar Don't Pay.

A shocking affair occurred at New
port Saturday night which may cost a
boy his life. On Wednesday night an
attempt was made to force open the
store of Mr.. Blanchard, in which James
Branch, clerk, slept. The fact became
known, and also the fact that Branch
had armed himself. Some boys thought
it fun to rally him, with remarks
doubling his courage to fire a pistol
One Ducello conceived the idea of put
ting up job on the clerk. Ducello
persuaded John Alexander to assist
him in what he thought. was joke.
They procured railroad car link, sus-
pended it over the store door, tied
string to it and hid behind tree across
the street About midnight they be-
gan to pull the string and let the link
pound the door. The clerk got up
and watched for the supposed burglars,
but the amateur burglars did not see
him and soon tired of their sport and
went away.
Later the Alexander boy not wishing
to lose his fish-line, returned and in
attempting to unfasten it made con-
siderable noise, which the clerk
thought an attempt to force the door,
the upper part of which was glass. He
took out his pistol and commenced fir
ing, delivering three shots through the
door. Hearing groaning outside, he
expected he had wounded some one,
and awOke DR.. Gaines, when they went
to the spot and found that John Alex
ander was lying on the ground, shot in
the head. The ball entered the head
above the right eye, and passed down
and lodged behind the right side of the
nose. The young man who did the
shooting is not blamed for the unfor-
tunate occurrence, but is in great dis
tress of mind on account of the sad re-
suits of the shooting. Young Alexan-
der's condition is critical. He has a
widowed mother, his father being kill
ed while working for the lumber COM
pany year or two ago.
School Boy Killed by His Teacher.
Charles Bailey, Woodbridge, (Ct.)
school boy of IL, tackled his teacher,
Henry Elliot, about 20 years old, some
time ago and was badly thrashed
Since then he has threatened revenge
and is known to have carried revOlv-
or for that purpose. The other night
he and two companions lay in wait for
Elliot, but the teacher went home
another way and escaped. Thursday
Bailey and friend, both masked, at
tackled Elliot as he came out of the

The Jews of New York are making an
earnest appeal for means to found a jew
ish theological synagogue in that city.
This is an outcome of the recent conven-
ton of strictly orthodox Hebrews, and
Is part of the movement To dam the cur.
rent that has been sweeping young Jews
into unbelief. The plan Is TO train rab-
bis who will keep conscientiously 10 the
old faith and oppose the tendency TO let
go OF traditional usages and doctrines.
only 20 per cent Of New York's Jews at
tend Jewish worship at all, and the rest
do not become Christians, but inf1dels.
The orthodox Jews expect to raise the
desired fund without difficulty.

The London Christian World has
reached q point where 1t confesscs that IL
"distrusts ali isolated and exclusive in
fallibllities, be they OF reason, conscience,
book, church, or pope. We believe that
crowd OF witnesses bear testimony for
God to the soul Of man, and that 1t Us

wisdom of God has been TO let the light
penetr tie to man through a thousand
channels. The wisdom of man has been
to drill one hole In the shutter OF his
room and to cut his brothers throat, or
at least TO threaten him with hell, II he
alleged that light could possibly enter by
any other oritlce." The force OF such tes-
timony from the largest and most widely
circulated religious newspaper in England
Is not to be denied.

ST. PAUL.


Dr. Stebbins has been delivering an
admirable series of lectures on the
epistle OF this apostle. OF those addressed
to the church at Thessalonica he says:
These letters were supposed to have
been written from Athens, bpt the gem
orally received opinion now is they were
written by Paul. while he was in Corinth
After his experience In that city, his ar
rest and hearing before Calico, the Roman
proconsul, and his dismissal, Paul began
these letters to the congregations he had
founded writing fourteen in all In his
misunderstanding the first to the
church In Thessalonica. The people who
formed these churches had been idol
atrous and had received some glimpses
of Christianity--crude they may have
been, but their influence was enough to
bring them together. Panfs letters
We're most interesting series and they
gave him commanding position in the
history OF Christianity. In the opinion OF
the speaker, the apostle was not an ac-
complished scholar or philosopher,
though he had been taught by an eminent
Jewish scholar. His chief ability was his
moral insight-his ability to appreciate
things spiritual, moral and divine; and
his intense enthusiasm. He had these
qualities in such degree that they melted
all his thoughts into gold, His writings
were not the elaborate, carefully prepared
utterances they We're formerly supposed
to be but were rather the outpourings of
his soul. OF the first two letters Paul
wrote, the question arose, how came he
to indite them? He had been told there
was some trouble in the church at Thes-
salonica. The congregation believed that
Christ was coming second time and the
end of the world was near Where they
got these ideas was not known but proba-
bly, from some one who wrote
a letter In Pauls name and
it was TO encourage the Thessalonians
that the first epistle was sent them. The
main idea embodied in that epistle was
that Christ would not again appear in the
flesh, and that they should understand
their religion was founded upon the
essence OF Christ and not on an historical
person. The two letters begin with the
blessings Of Paul and his companions;
then those to whom they are addressed
are told how well they are doing, and en-
couraged TO keep IN the good way; then
they are admonished what to believe and
what to avoid, and finally the writer
gives descriptions of himself and of
things interesting to his hearers. Paul
thought the first letter would answer his
purpose, but IL did not, and then he sent
them the second. He advised the Thes-
salonians to be not troubled about the
second coming of Christ, but TO mind
their AFFAIRS. During the course OF the
lecture DR.. Stebbins cited many passages
in the two eplstles explaining their mean
