M0KTUARY RED TAPE.
Dead Child Refused Burial Until Ger
tain Freiiminaries Had Been Carried
Out Reform Needed

Tuesday night baby. about one year
old, living with its parents in IIarvie,own,
just outside OF the city, died in its
mothers arms. No doctor had ever
been called in. The parents, wanting n
certificate so as to have 1t buried in the
Ham Cemetery, sent for Squire Talley.
lie gave certificate to DR.. Stratt0n en-.
dorsed, Died from natural causes"
This certificate DR.. Stratton refused tn
recognize, acting under the opinion Of
City Attorney Meredith that he had no
authority, and should not recognize any
certificate OF death except il come from a
physician.
The child was taken to the burying
ground and the keeper refused to bury it
unless the permit. signed by Dir. Stratton,
was forthcoming As il was not, the
funeral was stopped, and the child had to
be taken back to the county. Iesterda :
morning Squire Talley had to hold an in
quest over the remains with Dr. Bass OF
Richmond in attendance, and forwarded
verdict signed by him as acting CorO-
ner, aud by DR. Bass, that the child died
from cold on the lungs. All these pre-.
liminaries had 10 be gone through with
before the burial, which act took place
yesterday evening.
Squire Taley and the family think
themselves aggrieved, bat it is all the
cOuniy's own fault By law the Presi =
dent Of the Board of Health will not
issue a permit for burial unless all the
facts ia the case are certified by COM
petenl physician. \ magistrate is not
physician, and does not know
whether death is tho result of poison or
not. Dr. Stratton has seeh Judge Wad-
dill, Judge Minor, and Patterson OF
The Board Of Supervisors in order to have
the jurisdiction Of the Richmond Board
of Health extended in the suburbs so as
10 cover these county cases, but without
avail. The county Of Henrico has no
coroner and will not have one, and in
consequence these deaths without the
presence OF doctor, of which TIE above
il only one OF several instances that have
recently occurred, will not receive q
burial permit from the Richmond Board
OF Health, unless the certificate Of death
is filed up according TO law, and signed
by competent physician.

The Legislature en- led its labors AT
Montpelier Wednesday night. VERY
few OF them will ever return to Montpelier
as legislators. The session has lasted
eight weeks, and has been in several re
spec a notable one. The most prominent
measure of the session has been the act tor
the reorganization of our common school
-ystem. This is the bill reported 10y the
school commission ; mod fed and weaken
ed by a change in the mode OF choosing
the county Supervisors, who instead OF
being appointed by the governor will he
elected by county boards of education
consisting of member from each town.
These Will be apt, in four cases DAT OF five
to select one of their own number for
supervisor.
The school act will call for an eXpendi
rure of about $4,000 for the supervision
of the schools, IN addition to the like
amount now paid to town superlntendents
We confidently hope for an amount OF i'm
provement in public schools, under the
new plan, which will repay the outlay
many times over Other acts which have
been passed involving heavy appropria
tons are as follows: For building a State
insane asylum, 500 900; for the support
of the Soldiers Home at Bennington,
$25 600 for completing the Vermont mon
umeuts at Gettysburg, 5000: for the con
struction of the Grand Isle bridge, $50 COO ;
for the benefit Of the University OF Yer
mont and the State Agricultural college,
10000 per annum and TOR free scholarships
Tor Middlebury college, $2i00 for a term OF
four years to buy a permanent camp
ground at Essex Junction for the
State militia, $500; in cid of the
Vermont Darymen's association, $1,000
The appropriations for these objects ard
for the support of the State government
for the two years ending June 30, 1890
aggregate 81, $50 600, and call for a State
tax of 20 cents. which will raise $3.50, 900
The corporation taxes will pay the re-
mainder.

The Rainy Autumn of 1888.

The oldest inhabitapt' remembers no
such period Of rainy and cloudy weather
as that of the fall. Seventeen inches of rain
have fallen in Burlington in the last three
months. The wet spell began the second
week in August and from that time on,
cloudy skies, an almost constant drizzl,
and much mul took the place of the
glorious autumn days" of which
the poets are wont to sing. The autumn
ends with lowering skies aud the severest
cold snap in November that has been
known in half a century with two or tire
exceptions. The region of rain and clouc
mas been widespread. and it is not sur
prising that inv allds have suffered that
pneumonia and diphtherla have prevailed
in many places and that the death rate
in many cities has been uupleasantly large
for the past four months. The weather
has of course had its effect upon business
The country roads have been in such 4 con
diton that they have been used only whei
it was necessary and the merchant
have suffered accordingly. The farmer
too, has had hard time with his harvest
ing d fall work, and many interests hav'
been unfavorably affected. The causes
for such extensive climatic variations seem
to be largely beyond the ken of science
one of the most plausible theories benz
that they result from changes in the elec
trical condition of the sun. But there are
flaws in all such theories. What we know
$ that the wind boweth where it listeth a;
and that the rain falls on the good and The
evil without consulting them; and that
there comes an end to all spells of weather,
This time of cloud and storm, it is safe to
believe, will not last much longer, and we
shall have, in the providence of Him who
rules the elements, a return of the cleal
sunshine and bracng, frosty air of IN,
New England winter.
