National Garment Gutter.

Having secured rooms over Row
ellis iewelry store, opposite the Ath-
enHum, we shall open them to the
public March 18th for the purpose of
teaching the use of the most complete
system of cutting in use. A compe-
tent lady teacher in charge will take
pains to explain the Cutter and give
thorough instructions to those who
desire to learn For family use it is
invaluable, as it will do away with
keeping a box of patterns that do
not always fit, and which cause so
much worry and trouble to every
mother. Save your money, material
and anxiety by using the National
Garment Cutter. Every lady is in
vited to call. Respectfully,

The Farmers Institute


An institute was held here last
Thursday and Friday under the di-
rectiOn of the Farmers club. The
best butter COW and how to breed
her was the first topic Wednesday
and H. w. Vail of Pomfret, member
of the state board of agriculture, and
Henry Whitcher were the leaders,
The most profitable method of feed
ing the dairy COW was discussed in
the evening by M. w. Davis of West
Minister and Mr.. Vail. Thursday
morning the best method of setting
milk was considered by Prof. Dole of
Mortified, l.. T. Hazen of Whitefield
and n. II. Kicker. In the afternoon
there was a review of these topics
led by l.. T. HaZen. At this session
Maj. Henderson presented resolu-
tons in regard to the late w. W..
Wright, (who was q member and
director in the club from the start),
expressing the respect in which he
was held and sympathy for his family.
In the evening the general topic of
"Woman's position in the home"
was discussed by papers from Mrs.
M. r. Gray, Mrs. w. N. Gilhllan,
Mrs. Robt. Gates and Mrs. James
Doe. Songs by a quartette, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Buchanan, Mrs. J. A.
Miller and Frank Mccall, added in
terest to the occasion. Miss |. HOtch-
kiss gave a recita ton and Miss Anna
McLam, Miss Fannie Gibson, Miss
Nellie Harvey, Mrs. Alex. Cochran
and Mrs. D. Buchanan read selec-
tons, all bearing on the general top
ic Truths and facts, pleasant and
otherwise were placed before the peo-
pie so plain that ''he who runs could
read and those who staid could
hear. Mrs. ]. B. Nelson presided.
The order was good and a full house
helped to make a pleasing success.
Rev. MIR. Garfield, Rev. Mr.. Pinker-
ton, M. w. Davis, Prof. Dole and
others made remarks heartily eX-
pressing approval of the topic and of
the method of declaring the truths,
SO much needed, yet so gracefully
presented and so kindly stated that
none could object.

NOT CONFINED TO ST. JOHNsBURY.

Some of the state papers who are
attempting to bolster up Gov. Dill
lingham' s action in locating the in
sane asylum, would make their read
ers believe, if they could, that st.
Johnsbury is the only section that
believes that the commission was
unfairly constituted. They will not
be likely to give their readers the
following extracts which appear, as
will be seen, in papers in distant parts
of the state. Surely people in Bur
lington, St. Adams, Fairhaven and
Bellows Falls cannot feel badly that
the asylum does not come to St
Johnsbury.
Lost Respect for Him.
1t was a remark worthy to be
made by all the commissioners APP
pointed to select a location for the
Insane Asylum, that Lieut.-Gov
Woodbury. is reported to have made,
that he was a member of the COM
mission not as a citizen of Burlington
but as a citizen of Vermont. If we
could believe Gov. Dillingham; acted
on the same broad principle we
should feel more respect than we do
now for that official. No, he acted
for his town, and used his position
to get the others to act with him.
Governors are but menl and some
scarcely that Burlington indie
pendent.
A Method in II.
From the fact that Waterbury, the
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1889-02-28
HIS COMMISSION SHOULD BE RE
FOKED.

A two column article appeared in
last weeks Montpelier Argus, in de-
fence of the action of the insane asv-
lum commission, into which was
woven large amount of falsehood
and abuse of Representative l. D.
Hazen of this town Why it seemed
necessary to attack Mr.. Hazen in
order to sustain the action of the
commission will hardly be apparent
to any honest observer Among
charges made by the Argus is that
Il d. Hazen was opposed to the
asylum scheme" that when the bill
was nearly ready for presentation it
was read to the committees, and all
members expressed their views and
made suggestions except l. d. Hazen.
When he was asked what he had to
say, he replied Nothing and at once
withdrew from the committee room.

The locating of the new state in

a pre-arranged plan i'll which our
willy Governor may have had a
thumb After the commissioners had
taken in" all the larger towns of
the State they dropped into Water
bury and were so struck with the

to locate the asylum there in short
