RECENT DEATHS.

RoBINsoN.-Wm.D d. Robinson died at
his home at Paddock village on Tues
day, the 10th, at the age of "a years.
Mr.. Robinson was born in Dorset, but
his parents removed to Burlington
when he was quite young, where they
when they removed to Coventry. Mr..
Robinson came to this town soon after
1910, where his home has been since.
For great many years he was the
miller of the town, owning the grist
mill at Paddock village and living in
the brick house at the foot of the sand
hill, now nearly covered up by the
Passumpsic railroad dump. He mar
ried Euphemia Ramsay, who died in
1874. They never had children, and
now the death of Mr.. Robinson removes
the last one of the Robinson family a
brother-Orville-a prominent man in
Orleans county, dying but few years
ago. For As years Mr.. Robinson was q
member of the North congregational
church in this place. He was a re-
markable Bible scholar in his day and
| was staunch and true to the faith as ht
believed it. He gradually lost his eye
sight, but up to within four or fiv,
years he regularly found his place il
church, and his bent form and hesitat
ing step as he passed up the aisle t.
the front pew will be recalled by ever,
one who attended church in those days
He was known to most residents a
"Deacon" Robinson, and the title ftte'
him, although he was never deacon
Some three or four years ago he had
serious illness since which time he ha
been confined to the house, total,
blind, helpless and a great care. Il
all these years he has been most assid
uously and tenderly cared for by Mis-
Rosa Cusbman, a young woman left al
orphan at eleven. years, adopted by tn
Robinsons and raised up for this YER
purpose. Truly the good deed don
by these people was returned hun
dred fold.

AND ATHENIANs.

Inc annual exhibition OF the Adel-
phian and Athenian societies was Civ
en- ina Academy hall Thursday even.
ing, the 5th, and was a very enjoyable
occasion. There was quite large and
applsciative audience present. Fol.
lowing is the order of the evening
Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Davi.
son. A fine piano solo was given by
Mrs. Herbert Stanley. In the presi.
dents address on "Trifles," Mr.. Nor
ton spoke of the Importance of paying
great attention to small matters, to the
details of life, in order to insure sue
cess. Trif1es make perfection but per-
lection is no trif1e. Miss Graham, in
the presidents essay on "Athene,
spoke of the origin and purpose of theil
society, formed eighteen years ago
The name was taken from "Athene,
goddess of wisdom, and the Athenians
havssSsen wisdom-seekers ever since
She emphasized the difference between
knowledge and wisdom, and the supe.
riority of the latter. The Adelphian
Grafton on "The surplus" was deliver
ed by A. G. Jackman, who spoke OF
the immense surplus lying useless in
the United States treasury, and some
ways in which it might be diminished
as coast defences and Blair education
al bill. He strongly opposed Grover
Cleveland's method of diminishing the
surplus, saying that that method was
but step nearer the much desired free
trade. In the Athenian essay on
"Publc benefactors," Miss Glaziel
spoke of the custom of giving large
sums to endow institutions and to
found libraries, etc. These things are
beneficial and exert great influence
for good. The duet by Misses FennO
and Ely was very enjoyable. In the
discussion, "Ought our foreign immi-
grafton to be restricted" Henry Ide,
in support of the affirmative, called at
tention to the low and worthless class
es that are crowding into our country
and the dangers arising therefrom
Congress has the power to restrict this
immigration and should. The welfare
of our laboring men demands it. Phil
ip Ide, on the negative, thought thai
immigration should be free, but thai
laws should be passed to suppress the
worthless class. The recitation, "The
Burghers of Calais" by Miss Balch
was very good. Wheatley, in the
Middle Grafton on "The Ignorant Bal
lot" spoke of the idea we all have tina
this country can never fall. He en-
deavored to show the danger whicl
threatens us in the form of an ignOran
voter. The Blair bill is one step il
the right direction. Thorough educa
tion alone can cure it. Music by tn,
banjo club was much enjoyed, judgin.
by the encore which they received
Misses Wilder and Sawyer, on "Long
ings," taught us to so live that W.
shall not in old age long for an oppor
tunity to do anything over again. Th'
senior Grafton by G. ID. Wood, showed
us the condition of too many of ou
business men of today who let thei
business drive them, instead of driv
ing their business. The senior essa,
by Miss Goodwin, showed the great in
fuence and power for good that a fac
may have. After music by the nike,
quartet, benediction was pronounced

An Afflicted Family.

Two of the four children of Samuel
Morrison, blacksmith at the Lower
village, have died this week, and at
the time this item was written another
one was seriously i'll. The disease
was first called canker rash, but later
physicians pronounced it diphtheria,
and believe they have found local
cause for the disease. There are other
cases of serious sickness in town. La
ter. AS will be seen by reference to

ed rumors about the sickness and
death of the mother.

Tough Travelling.

1t is rarely that there is so much and
so general complaint concerning the
bad condition of the roads as is the
case at present. G. III. Cross, the well
known st. JOhnsbury baker, has had
to partially shut down this week be-
cause of the inability of his statesmen
to get about over the country roads
Snow banks over west are SO high that
in some places travellers along the
highway can hardly see over them
What with signs of dust in the villages
mud and snow drifts in the country, its
peculiar man who cannot find travel
ling to suit him.

Petition for a Bridge.

A petition is in circulation with
about 100 signers, to build foot bridge

Meeting the little village on the east
side of the river more directly with
Railroad street and Eastern avenue
either have to go up to Portland stree
bridge to reach the village, or cross
the river in boats in summer and on
the ice in winter. 1t is estimated that
wooden bridge can be built inside OF
$500. An iron one would cost more.

The Vermont Conference.

The annual Vermont Methodist con-
ference is in session at West Randolph

livered by Rev. E. w. Culver of St
Albans and yesterday Rev. T. P. Frost
of ST. Johnsbury delivered an address
before the Woman's Home Missionary
society. 1t is expected, desired and
hoped that Mr.. Frost will be returned

Business at the Post Office.

Postmaster Bowman closed his first
years labors in the st. Johnsbury post
Office March 81. 1t has been a good
year for business in all directions and
the office has naturally felt the in
crease. The statistics will prove of
special interest inasmuch as they show
that st. JOhnsbury has practically
reached the free delivery point of $10,-
600 year, the amount of business
necessary to be done within a single
year in order to secure it. The total
sales of the year reached, $8,916.50 :;
income from box rents, 1886; total
business, s9,8O1.5O. The receipts from
box rents at the Railroad street office
would more than bring the sum up to
the required $4,000. The above fig
ures show an increase over the previ-
GUS years business of between $500 and
$1,000.

The Band Disbanded.

The people of this place will regret
to learn that the st. Johnsbury band
has disbanded. The occasion for this
action is two-fOld, the absence of men
qualified to play certain instruments
and lack of support from the public.
The band has had no paying engage
ment since the fair and finds itself at
present in debt with one of two courses
open, either to assess the members or
close up the business. The latter
course has been decided on and G.. T
Spencer and Henry Cheney are elect
ed trustees to have charge of the $4,000
worth of property on hand. The of
ficers of the band have found it impos-
sible to procure employment here for
men who could be had to strengthen
the organization, and there seems to
be feeling that in view of the fact
that the village has voted money for
summer concerts, which hardly pays
the expenses of giving the concerts,
the band ought to give its services for
various reunions, ETC., which it has
generally done, and now gives up the
ghost. The band has Oeen organized
about nine years and has been a credit
to the town and will be greatly missed
