An able writer says Of his sermons: "Dr.
Talmage starts out with narration OF Incl
dents told in Scripture in connection with the
text. His voice Is conversational In tone.
He talks just as he would il at fireside, der
scribing scenery visited in foreign travel
With his hands folded behind his back, he
leisurely promenades his long platform, about
which there is neither railing nor tho usual
pulpit. Walking up and down, facing now
one, now another section of the house, his
unaffected narrative proceeds. He passes
from pleasing narrative to entertaining his
tory, and, while pointing to the enter
tanning features Of it, also discloses
with marvellous clearness the characters
Of the personages involved therein. But
before his analysis has been recorded
a curtain falls over dazzling hall, resplendant
decorations and art treasures, and in their
stead is opened up view of mountain and
a cross upon it, with the Son OF God being
offered as sacrifice for the sins Of the world,
The charming conserver, historian and artist
has magically lured his audience on, en-
chained it's fancy, spell it's attention:
only to fit it for the transcendant glories o.
the divine scene he here presents Now hii
thoughts glow and his gestures emphasiss the
ardor Of his soul in the cause Of salvation

eulogy he leads his listeners, while they tear

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS HOME.
Then there is the residence Of Charles
Francis Adams, at Quincy. Mass This
house was built by rich English planter
who also ''skedadledn at the outbreak Of the
revolution. 1t was purchased by the future
president OF the United States, John Adams,
and II was here, just fifty years to q day
after signing the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, that he passed away. II was also the
home Of his son. the president John Quincy
Adams Few houses have entertained more
distinguished men beneath its ample roof
During the trying times Of the postrevolu-
tion period it was the resort Of the men who
were endeavoring to adjust the wheels OF

How unpretentious the mansion Is our

and comfortable, with big dreplaces and
chimneys and an air Of quiet about th,
whole interior.

The French church at st. Adams are ar

dence of Alex LaFountan.
There were % persons received into the
Methodist church at Middlebury Sunday.
II of whom were baptized. These, with
II who had previously united with the
church and several others yet to Join, are
the result Of revival meetings held during
the winter.
Rev William j. Smith has accepted the
call of the Baptist church at Middletown
Springs to become its pastor for the com
ing year,
When the Baptist church at st. Adams
was burned three years ago the society
had just paid their last debt vi $4,000, but
the insurance of $4,000 would be ut
terly inadequate to replace and furnish a
building that cost S2S,0OO. The new
church has been pushed forward until
now 1t Is ready to be opened to the public.
The building and furnishing have cost
about $500 more than the insurance s.,
600 of this sum has already been raised
SO that there remains still to be provided
for $500,

Cathedral Wednesday morning, members
of the family were attracted to the room
where he was by strange noise, and upon
going there they found him in an

Several physicians We're summoned, but
their combined efforts were unable to re-
store him to consciousness and he fingered

safety of pedestrians passing in front of it,
Mr.. Roby stated that he in company with
the superintendent of streets and other
city officials had examined the building
and it was their opinion that while the

were liable to fall at any time On motion
of Alderman Holton the committee was
authorized to notify the owners that the
building was unsafe and that it must be
repaired.
On motion of Alderman Alger the city

luton was passed authorizing the City

A petition signed by AIS residents of this
city, including most of our leading bust
ness aud professional men, was presented,
asking that the interest on the water debt
which has heretofore been collected from
consumers per capita be hereafter paved
| by taxation, based upon the tax list.
| The petition suggests that the rate for

after June |, lSSG, and other rates proper
tionately low; that the highest meter rate
be not over p cents for 1000 gallons and
the lowest rate to large consume $ not
less than 10 cents per 1000 gallons and
that no meter service shall pay less than
- per year. Alderman Alger supported
the petition, making remarks at conSd-
cradle length. On motion of Alderman

upon the table for the present
| Suitable resolutions in relation to the
death of the late William II. Root, eX-City

The WEEKLY FREE PRESS with this
number enters upon New Year and it
heartily wishes all its readers happy and
prosperous year. The subscription term
of a good many of our readers expires
with this number As our regular rule
is to stop all papers that are not paid
for in advance this will be the last num-
Der they will get unless renewal is sent
in promptly. We trust that not one will
feel that he can do without the FREE
PRESS. We are better prepared this year
then ever before to give our patrons their
full moneys worth. We expect to make
the FREE PRESS better the coming year
than ever in its history. We have decd.
ed to.eXpend the money heretofore put
into premiums on the improvement of our
paper, and we have no doubt but that our
readers will appreciate the expenditure
better. In another column we print a
prospectus in which we make known
some of the good things our subscribers
will get by taking the WEEKLY FREE
PRESS the coming year. Besides asking
you to renew your own subscription we
have another request to make-that you
do us II favor We would consider it a
personal favor and would be happy to pay
reasonably for it if each subscriber who
likes the FREE PRSss would secure one
more subscriber for it among his neigh
bors who do not now take it. A little talk
and showing of the FREE PRESS, with a
statement of some of its strong points
would accomplish it; and in doing it you
would be helping yourself and doing the

favor-by getting him acquainted with
