The directors of the Y. M. G. A.
have voted to take steps to establish a
small library for the benefit of young
men and others who do not use the
Atheneum library, a sort of stepping
stone to the Athenaum. The association
debt reducing fund has reached S633,
enough with what is in hand to cancel
the debt of the organization.

A Suggestion.

A Suggestion.
Here is a suggestion given too late,
perhaps, to be of much benefit this
season but one that may save some
one severe cold and perhaps an attack
of pneumonia another season. When
public gatherings of any kind are ad-
vertised to be held in the town hall
fires should be built early enough in
the day to have the room thoroughly
warmed when the time of the meetings
arrive. Saturday evening the custom
was followed that has always prevail
ed of building fires just before meeting
and it was at positive risk to health
that nybody attended either the eau
Gus or the village meeting that follow
ed, because of the chilly atmosphere of
the room.

Frank Boards Chalk Talk.

Frank Boards Chalk Talk.
The Y. M. G.. A. lecture course was
brought to most successful close
Tuesday evening. Frank Beard, the
artist, was the lecturer and an audience
of over 1000 people enjoyed most
unique entertainment, one of the best
of very successful course. 1t is diff
cult to tell whether Mr.. Beard himself
or his chalk talked best, for he is
man that can do more than one thing
well. The lecture was sparkling with
clean wit and good humOr and the pic
lures were some of them works of art
worthy of preservation for their in
trinsic value, while the cartoons and
humorous sketches were ludicrOus in
the extreme and delighted the audience
as they assumed shape under the skill
full handling of the talking chalk. If
there was any one in the large audi
ence who did not thoroughly enjoy the
evening the writer has failed to meet
that person. When asked at the close
of the entertainment which of his lee
lures he had delivered, Mr.. Beard
answered "I don't know, that audience
was an inspiration and l said what
came to me-" In introducing the
speaker Charles Horton very neatly
complimented and congratulated both
the audience and the lecture committee
on the successful closing of the seasons
course.
Before and during the entertainment
requests were received for the pictures
and it was finally decided to auction
them off for the benefit of the Y. nj. G..
A. sick fund, and some $l2 was real
lied in a few moments thereby, the au-
dience very kindly and patiently re-
naming in their seats until the busi-
ness was completed.
The Infant of the Revolution.
The reporter was so deeply interest
ed in the lecture ON "The Infant of the
Revolution" by Rev. T. P. Frost in
day evening, that he failed to take
notes and so cannot give a complete
resume of it that shall include dates
etc. These are not necessary, howev-
er, to statement of the fact that il
was one of the best lectures the people
: of ST. Johnsbury have been privileged
to hear this season. The "infant" re-
ferred to is Vermont, and the part she
played in the days of the Revolution
and the results that followed the ac.
ton of the Green mountain boys were
pictured in such a graphic manner al
, to cause some of the natives of Massa.
chusetts who happened to be present
. to almost regret that their lots were no
cast in the Green mountain state
, Though the lecture was replete will
anecdotes and humorous scenes it wa
an earnest plea for better knowledg,
of the past history of the state on tn.
a part of Vermonters. and was fillet
with historical information that n,

A Probably Fatal Accident.

Marshall J. Ingraham, employed at
Hazen's Victory mill, met with a Sc
we're and probably fatal accident Mon
day. He was engaged in saving slabs
when the saw broke from some unex-
plainable cause and the pieces flew in
every direction, three of the teeth,
from half an inch to two inches in
length, striking Ingraham in the fore
head and penetrating the skull, one
entering just above the eyes, the sec
ond in the center of the forehead and
the third an inch or two higher up.
The pieces have been removed but
slight hopes are entertained of his re-
cOvery. He was between 25 and sc
years of age, unmarried and brother
of Mrs. Stephen Darling of this place.

Probably there was some mistake in re
porting the eloquent remarks made by
Lieut.. Col. Samuel NJ Pingree at the re-
union of the Fourth regiment. 1t is not
likely that he claimed without qualitica-
tion that the Fourth had more officers
killed and MORALLY wounded than any
other Vermont regiment, or that it had
fewer deserters than any other. The
Fourth was capital regiment, and every
one of its members has right to be proud
of his membership of it. The Sixth Yer
mont, however, had rs many officers killed
and mortally wounded, while the Seven
teenth Vermont in its twelve months ser
vice had two more officers killed in battle
and who died of wounds than the Fourth
As for deserers, the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh,
Eighth and Tenth of our three years regi-
meuts lost fewer men by desertion than
the Fourth, while the nine months regi-
ments had scarcely any deserters. One
Vermont regiment, the Fourteenth, lost
not man by desertion, a record perhaps
not paralleled by that of any other full
infantry regiment that was in the field for
an equal time.

and signed or to be signed by Mr. Cleve-
land amounting to 1864 100000. That
cuts off S3S, 900, 600 of the surplus at one
end. Instead of Mr., Fairchild's total esti-
mated receipts of 1888. 100000, every indi-
cation points to a total not exceeding

quarters receipts to those OF the whole
year has been quite accurately determine /

\ I'ruitIeSS Session

The session of Congress which ended on
Saturday was not only the longest one on
record, but one OF the most frultless. Be
yond the appropriation bills, for carrying
on the government, hardly an important
public measures was passed in a continu-
Gus session which occupied full year
lacking forty-five days. OF the two leading
measures, the free trade Mills bill was not
expected to pass the Senate, and was pass
ed by the House chiefly as an electioneering
device to satisfy the Southern free traders
and hold the votes of the Northern free
trade mugwumps. The other, the Senate
tariff bill, if it had reached vote in and
passed the Senate, could not have passed
the House. The meagreness in the results
of the session was the natural consequence
of the want of craftsmanship and general
incompeJency on the part of the demo
cratic majority of the House. The Senate
kept its business well up, and little blame
for needless delay or waste of time lies at
its door. OF course there was small en-
couragement for senators to originate
