Bible Work in LamoiIIe County.

Lamoille County was last canvassed by the
Vermont Bible Society eight and nine years
ago. Bibles and testaments were offered for
sale at cost in all the homes in the County !;
and the poor, who had no Bible, were gratui-
tously supplied. At that time l23 families
were found who had no Bible, and 10 of
those families nearly or quite
500 persons-were supplied with copies OF
Gods word, besides those sold in other fami-
lies. More than 1, 900 books were then sold
and over $50 given away. Statistics were
then gathered in regard to attendance at
church and Sunday-School, and an effort
made to bring all the people of the County
under Gospel influences. 1t was found that
only SO per cent. of the population of the
County reported themselves as attending
church, and only 25 per cent. were connected
with the Sunday-Schools.
Another canvass is now being carried for
ward in the County by the same society Dea.
w. |. Byington canvassed Cambridge and
Waterville last winter and has completed
Hyde Park. Later he will canvass Stowe and
Morristown and the remaining towns in the
County except Johnson, which will be can
vassed by Rev. A. A. Smith. In view of these
facts, | want to ask all the readers of the
News AND CITIZEN in the County for the fol
lowing things: list, that you give the can
vassers cordial welcome to your homes. Do

emit members of your family; 3rd that you
assist them in gathering correct statistics so
far your family is concerned; 4th, that

buitous entertainment of the eanvassers and
by contributions of money Thelast canvass
cost the society $500, but the contributions
rom the entire County to the society has
amounted to only 1915 in the last nine years
We have no surplus fund from which to draw
20 pay for the present. work, We appeal,
therefore, to the citizens of the County who
zalue the Bible or it's influence to help us in
his work. There must be large number in
5he County who would be glad to do some

Beyond Comprehension.

The mind IS stunned by the awful
ness of the Pennsylvania disaster, of
which a meagre account is given else
where. Every successive hour brings
yet more narrowing pictures of the
scenes when at least 5000 people
were swept to their death in the Cone
maugh valley and 100000 900 to $780,
900, 900 worth of property was de
stroyed. While the loss of property
is great, no one thinks of that The
tale of the dead is bad, though it can
be told at any time they will not
suffer if the world never reads more
of them; but the tale of the living is
bad, too, and it must have attention.
There are as many of them as of the
dead, and they are hard pressed for
food, clothing and all the necessaries
of life. This, the greatest of disasters
ever known in this country, will, with
out doubt, be followed by the most
commemorate of benefactions.
The principal ruin was wrought in
a valley about thirteen miles long,
within the limits of which, so short a
time ago teeming with large and
prosperous towns, there is nothing now
but swollen and turbulent stream,
with the wrecks of buildings and
thousands of decaying corpses. Such
was the irresistible force of that
rushing flood that immense iron boil
ers, the heaviest pieces of metal
structure, torn from the works of the
Cambria mill, were tossed onward and
downward like so many shingles from
a shattered roof. In that mad whirl
of waters human beings were engulfed
like flies, and in all stages of mutila-
ton and Disagreement they lie buried
deeply in the alluvia and debris
brought down by the seething waters,
or lie within sight, menacing a pesti-
1ence almost as much to be feared as
the original calamity. At one point
the spectator is appalled, with the
sight of a wall of human corpses
which actually form dam in the
river. No one will ever know how
many persons were burned at the
Johnstown bridge, but 1000 is the
lowest estimate Individual accounts
of the horrors, witnessed and survived,
read like romances evolved from dis
ordered imaginations, though their
truth is indisputable.
Above the valley of death, on either
side, are the wretched remnant of the
blotted-out communities. Fathers,
whose families have disappeared,
mothers mourning for their children
who persisted before their eyes, chill
dren, without either father or mother,
all destitute, many stripped of most of
their clothing and dependent upon the
charitable hand and the swiftly-speed-
ing railway train to save them from
fatal want. One mother placed her
seven children, one by one, on float
ing objects, and commended them to
the keeping of heaven. As she placed |
the last one, a little boy, he looked at |
her and said 'EMama you always told |
me the Lord would care for me; He |
will look after me now" Fifteen hours |
later she was rescued, half dead from
exposure, many miles from the scene.
Not one of her ''jewels" will ever greet
her vision again on earth. Incident |
after incident of the terrible scenes
might be given and yet not half of
the agony and woe told.

THE HORSE BREEDERS ExHIBITIoN.-It
should be borne in mind that the fifth annual
meeting of the Vermont Association of Road
and trotting Horse Breeders will be held at
Rutland on the three days beginning with the
2Sth of August next The money offered in
stakes and premiums is larger than ever
before, and the interest manifested in the en-
terprise is greater that it is fair to predict
meeting even more successful than any of it's
predecessors. The membership fee has been
reduced to two dollars, for which trifiing sum
any resident Vermonter (unless objected to)
can become member and share all the privi-
leges of mebership, including free ticket to the
three days exhibition, and the right to exhibit
stock. The success of the association has
been largely due to the entirely clean and I'M
Objectionable character of it's exhibitions, it's
fair and able management and the prompt
fulfllment Of its obligations. The association
guarantees that there will beno change for the
worse in these respects. 1t aims to return to
the public in the form of added money, pre-
miums, and the improvement of public exhi=
bition grounds, every dollar of its receipts,
and to give the best exhibition of the kind
that is held in New England 1t affords at its
the very best market, as well as the
best place of exhibition for fine horses that
has ever been known in the State.
Entries to stakes and purses close on the
10th of June, and should be made to F. I'll.

entry blanks and full information can be OBJ

Major Valentines statistics begin
to come in. The first town to report
is Newbury in Orange county. In
this town there are ten abandoned
farms of about 100 acres each, and
many towns will make a much poorer
showing than this. If the Major can
get all the information he seeks
through his circulars he will collect
mass of matter that will prove of
great value for the purpose for which
he is seeking it. We hope that the
listers of the towns whom he has
called to his aid will respond fully
and cheerfully, that as a State we
may know something about our prog
ress towards poverty. This knowl-
edge is needed to quicken desire to
help ourselves along the road to
wealth. Vermont is one of the best
States in the Union, and we wish to
see it grow in prosperity by being
held and cultivated by native born
population.-Nort1feld Neaos.

The glory of first class foreign
mission consists in spending more
than your salary. Minister Reid, for
instance, who has gone to Paris to
represent this country, has taken the
house of the Countess de Grammont,
and for this single luxury he pays a
rental of $4,000 a year-s3ooo more
than his salary. If his rent repre-
sents one-quarter of his expenses, his
services to this country will make a
pretty large hole in his accumulated

All reports agree that the outlook
for crops is excellent at present.
There has been enough rain in the
great agricultural districts of the
country to end all fears of serious
injury by drouth, and only unusually
bad weather in the next few weeks
can prevent. an abundant harvest.
This means prosperity. Of course,
the Democratic newspapers magnify
the temporary depression of any In
dustry and every individual embarrass-
ment or failure into evidence that the
country is ruined because it rejected
Cleveland and the Free Trade policy
of the Democratic party. But that IS
only the wall of the disappointed,
with whom the wish is father to the
thought, and who would welcome
financial disaster at this time in order
to say Il told you So" There may
be over-producton ana consequent
depression and failures in certain in
dustries, as there was during Cleve-
lands administration and all admins
trations There may possibly be
even widespread depression and
'shard times" before the close of
first four years, though all
present indications point to just the
opposite. But even if the worst
should come, disaster cannot be at
to the policy of Protection to
American Industries. That is the
policy that has plotted this country
safely over troublous times in the
past, and is its safeguard in the
future. If calamity comes twill not
be because of protection, but in spite
of it.
