NORTH DANVILLE,

Meetings will begin next Sunday at
the old North meeting house, and will
be continued every Sunday during the
summer, or until further notice. The
meetings will be conducted by laymen
from st. Johnsbury. Services will
commence at 3 o'clock.
A good many friends will sympathize
with Charles A. Morrill,, formerly OF
this place but now of Fairfield, Nebras-
ka, whose store and portion of its
contents were burned in large fire
which occurred in the heart of that
town a short time ago.
The burning of Vernon Vance's farm
buildings Ton the old Thompson place.
was noticed last week. The insurance
on buildings and stock was some $780,
but it will not cover loss. All the
buildings we're burned together with
some Is tons of hay. The cause of the
fire was q defective chimney. When
Mr.. Vance came in from the field to
dinner he noticed an unusual smoke
about the base of the chimney, and
very soon the flames burst out the
roof. 1t is uncertain if Mr.. Vance re-
builds.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM MIR.
BLAINE.

The New York Tribune of yesterday
published the following letter from Mr.
Blaine to Whitelaw Reid, dated Paris
May II:
Since my return to Paris from South
ern Italy on the 9Th inst, | have learn
ed (what | did not before believe) that
my name may yet be presented to the
national convention as candidate fOI
the presidential nomination of the re-
publican party. A single phrase of my
letter of January 25 from Florence
(which was decisive of everything /
had the personal power to decide) has
been treated by many of my most val
ued friends as not absolutely cOnclu-
sive in ultimate and possible cOntin :
gencies. On the other hand, friends
equally devoted and disinteresteG have
construed my letter las it should be
cOnstrued) to be an unconditional with
holding of my name from the national
convention. They have in conse-
quence given their support to eminent
gentlemen who are candidates for the
Chicago nomination, some of whom
would not, | am sure, have consented
to assume that position if [ had desired
to represent the party in the presiden
tial contest of 1888.
If should now, by speech or by 81
lence, by commission or omission, per-
NIT my name, in any event, to come
before the convention, | should incdr
the reproach of being uncandid with
those who have always been candid
with me. | speak, therefore, because
| am not willing to remain in a double
attitude. / am not willing to be the
cause of misleading a single man among
the millions who have given me their
suffrages and their confidence. [ am
not willing that even one of my faith
full supporters in the past should think
me capable of paltering in a double
sense with my words. Assuming that
the presidential nomination could by
any possible chance be offered to me,
| could not accept it without leaving
in the minds of thousands of these men
the impression that had not been free
from indirection, and therefore l could
not accept it at all. The misrepresen-
tations of malice have no weight, but
the just displeasure of friends / could
not patiently endure.
Republican victory, the prospects of
which grow brighter every day, can be
imperiled only by lack of unity in
council or by acrimonious contest over
men. The issue of protection is meal
culably stronger and greater than any
man, for it's concerns the prosperity of
the present and of generations yet to
come. Were it possible for every vOt
er of the republic to see for himself the
condition and recompense of labor in
Europe, the party of free trade in
the United States would not receive
the support of one wage worker be-
tween the two oceans. 1t may not be
directly in our power as philanthropy
lists to elevate the European laborer,
but it will be a lasting stigma upon
our own craftsmanship if we permit
the American laborer to be forced down
to the European level. And in the end
the rewards of labor everywhere will
be advanced, if we steadily refuse to
lower the standard at home.
Yours very sincerely,
JAMES G., BLAINE.

PEACHAM.
1t was the Woman who Suffered.

1t was the Woman who Suffered.
Ora Woodward, living near South
Danville, got drunk one day last week
and acted so that his wife started for
help when she fell and broke her arm
and dislocated her shoulder. The
husband was complained of for drunk
enness, claimed he got alcohol at the
Peacham agency, and paid fine of S.
and costs.
Good sized snow banks are still WISH
BILE from our north windows.
The road machine is at work. We
understand that the estimated expense
of repairing the roads will not be more
than one-half that of preceding years,
and at the same time as much apparent
work will be done, because in the
first years of using the machine the
greater part of the work was removing
boulders SO that the machine could be
used.
1t will be remem bered that during the
great blizzard last winter the stage was
unable to get through from Barnet to
Peacham. For this failure the U. S.
postal department deducts eighteen
cents from the salary of the stage
driver. Now last week it took the U. S.
postal department two days and half
to carry the items for the Caledonian
from Peacham to st. Johnsbury, SO
they were too late to be used. Wonder
if we can't get a fine on the department
somehow

LOWER WATERFORD.

Abraham Rugg Ross was born Nov.
IL, 1913, the sixth child of Jonathan
and Lucy Ross, in Waterford, on the
farm now owned by B. d. Brown and
A. B. Goss. His father died Nov IL =,
1920, leaving him at the age of seven
years to the care of his mother and his
brother, Royal Ross, who was his Sc
nior by IA years. March 2, 1886, he
married Hannah Carpenter, the young
est daughter of the late Dea. Jonah
Carpenter of Waterford, the Rev.
Thomas Hall, father of Samuel w.
Hall and the late Thomas L. Hall of
St. Johnsbury, performing the ceremo-
ny. There was born to this union one
son, Charles Ross, with whom he was
living at the time of his death. Dur
ing the time of that terrible epidemic
of 1910 to 1912, the erysipelas, he bu-
ried his wife, and Feb. %, 1S43, he
married Harriet N. johnson of Ryegate
who now survives him. To this union
there was born one son, Aldace w.
Ross, who died at Pittsburgh, Pa,
March 25, 1867. Mr.. Ross resided on
the place where he died since his first
marriage in the spring of 1886, and has
been quite largely identified with the
interests of the church and town. He
died on Friday, May 25.

Post.
The Baptist society continue to i'm
prove the appearance of the inside of
the church. They are kalsomining the
walls and painting the pews this week,
and talk quite seriously of refurnishing
the floor and pews with carpet and
cushions, and may possibly put in a
furnace. The latter idea is surely a
good one.

Mr.. BIaine's Last Letter.

Another letter from Mr.. Blaine il
given in full elsewhere. This letter is
written to the editor of the n. Y. Trib.
une, the one prominentrepublican news
paper in the East which has insisted
that Notwithstanding his former letter
Mr.. Blaine should be the republican
nominee. This second letter seems to
have changed the Tribune's views, as
it says editorially, eve print else
where letter from Mr.. Blaine fatty
making an end of any possible consid-
Grafton of his name for the Chicago
nomination"
When Mr.. Blaine's former and now
famous Florence letter came out last
February, the Caledonian said:
"Mr. Blaine must either be taken at
his word or charged with bit of trick
cry that would discredit the cheapest
ward politician in the country. We
do not see how any believer in Mr..
Blaine can question his sincerity or
that lie should be taken at his word.
To think otherwise, or to treat his
letter in any other way than as an alb
solute withdrawal from the race, is to
say that he is deliberately deceiving
those who stand ready to sacrifice
everything for him."
1t seems this was the view Mr.. Blaine
took of the matter.
The definite withdrawal of Mr..
Blaine leaves a great opportunity for
the republican party. 1t remains to be
seen if the leaders will be equal to the
occasion. Given clean, courageous
and wise candidate, and a platform of
broad craftsmanship that cannot be
interpreted but one way, and the
chances are that the republican party
can win at the polls next November.

Gas Engines and Newspaper Agencies

The st. Adams Messenger compares
the CaledOnian to a gas engine, be-
cause the gas engine is a Irregular
kicker" A greater compliment could
hardly be paid the Caledonian. The
writer owned gas engine once and it
was just the cutest thing that ever
furnished power. 1t was always ready
for service, could be depended on every
time, ran steady and true, was mex
pensive and was a constant disappOint-
ment in that it invariably did better
service and accomplished more than
was expected of it. Extreme mOdesty
is all that has prevented our making
and we appreciate the handsome man.
ner in which the Messenger has done it.
The Messenger also speaks of that
little scheme of Carroll S. Pages,
which resulted in introducing a large
number of New York and Boston re-
publican papers into this state at the
drawn into the trap. In regard to this
matter, which has already been pretty
fully ventilated in the CaledOnian, we
have only to say that the columns of
this paper are still open for the publ
cation of the letters in relation to the
subject which Mr.. Page has received
from the republican editors of the
state. Talk about kicking! Those
letters if published without abridgment
would furnish kicking power enough
to lift Mr.. Page and his committee to
the EXTREMIST hight of the spout, and
would furnish indisputable evidence
that the Caledonian has only given
public expression to the private opin-
ions of many republican editors. We
know what we are talking about.

General Philip H. Sheridan has been

General Philip III. Sheridan has been
very sick all the week and at times a
fatal result has been expected. With
Memorial day came the welcome intel
ligence that he was better and that
some hopes were entertained of his re-
covery. All will join in the wish that
these later reports may be true and
that this brave Union general may long
be spared to the country which he did
so much to save. On Sunday, after
rallying from the stupOr in which he
had lain for many hours subsequent to
the severe attack of Saturday evening,
he called to one of his physicians and
asked: "What day is this 2" The
doctor answered: cit is Sunday" 81

"All my greatest victories in the war
