REMARKS BY REV.
 DRDLEY.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY REV. 0
 DRDLEY.
 We are met here this morning as sor- rowing friends of Bro. Maxham to pay the last tribute possible to us to his memory. He was man of broad and generous mind, whose charity was proverbial, and of a pure and deyout soul. As me mber of the hl- man family he cherished aid practiced the truth of human brotherhood as patriot he was profoundly loyal to his country, and always atrove to promote her interest and to advocate those principles that would lead to her highest honor; as member oi this community he was public spirited and vitally interested in everything that would promote its welfare as the head of fam lily he was thoughtful and loving as preacher he was fervent aud eloquent; as a pastor he was tender and sympathetic ; as christian he was true disciple of his Master. These, am persuaded, are the broad outlines of picture whose details those who are to follow will fitly give.
 ADDRESS OF J. o. BOOTH
 I have long known and respected MT. Maxham as citizen and esteemed hlm as relations with hlm were in connection WILL SCuOOl "OIh, AdFAA6 bOSA HAeNJ J JS'sAS associated with him upon the toard of school visitors, of which body he held the position of secretary and acting school wis, itor for nearly quarter of century.
 MT. Maxham had the welfare of the schools in Stafford very much at heart, and he was a most efficient school officer familiar with the condition, requirements and progress of thefchools in every dis trict i'll town. He was thoroughly versed in the laws of our state relating to educa- ton, and nearly all questions pertaining tn reto he could readily answer, often quoting from memory the exact language of the statutes upon the point in question.
 It was sometimes said of him that he did not give sufficient time to his examinations of the schools-that is, that he did not al- ways make his official visits of sufficient length to ascertain correctly the condition and management of the school. Now 1t is

ADDRESS OF MRS. JENNIE KING.

ADDRESS OF MRS. JENNIE KING.
 The most of my life I have lived in this village. In this church I listened to my first sermon. Here Sabbath after Sabbath for twenty years I heard the word as it fell from his lips, and feel that if could be quite still and let these old walls speak opt of the love he has breathed into them, # would be the most fitting tribute we could pay to his memory.
 As stand here, where so many morn- ings he has called down blessings on the church that was dearer to him than life here where he has bent over the still white faces of so many of Stafford's truest and nob1est, in the likeness of the God of his belief, remembering their virtues and blot ting out their transgressions forever here where he has given comfort to sorrowing bereaved ones with that true sympathy which could come only from man of sor- rows, acquainted with grief, how feeble all words seem | How can I hope to utter what your hearts are fdfl of? If my speech were as true as my heart l need not hesi. tate. But know that where I fail your own loving memories will supply the lack, for see few strangers here. Nearly ev. cry face before me is familiar to me as il was to him. And if you have known him well, am sure you cherish the memory oi some kindness from him.
 One of you, his neighbor, will say, "] have known him five years," another, s.1 have known him ten years, or twenty, ol thirty" but it seems to me that none oi us have known him. Emerson somewhere says: 'Man is like bit of Labrador spar. As you hold it in your hand it has no particular lustre, it seems dull, dead erey-white piece of rock. Turn it to 6 certain angle and let the light shine full upon it, then it gleams and sparkles like the rarest gem" So this mans life, dull ordinary. prosaic enough it appeared. moi success as measured by the world s stand ard, but tried by the only test of Chris tianity that has any right to be, he wa. nearer christian than any man I evel knew.

A MONUMENT which is now being made at
Rutland is attracting much attention, not
only because of its huge proportions, but
because it is in commemoraton of the loss
of the " Jeanette" of the Arctic explor-
ing expedition, and her commander, the
gallant DeLong, with his company. The
base of the monument is of Barre granite,
twenty-five feet long, twelve feet wide and
ten feet high, and cut to resem BILE as nearly
as possible the cairn erected on the delta
of Lena river by Chief Engineer Melville
over the graves of belong and his gallant
comrades. Above this base will be a
marble slab fourteen feet long eight feet
six inches wide and twelve inches thick,
probably the longest slab ever taken out of
the quarry. On this slab rests the dove,
two feet seven inches wide and four feet
six inches thick. The whole will be sur
mounted by cross thirteen feet high, five
feet six inches wide and fourteen inches
thick, making the entire height of the
monument about twenty-six feet. The up
per end and arms of the cross will be
carved to represent a covering of snow and
ice. On the die will be placed two bronze
anchors leaning against the cross, while on
the front will be a bronze tablet, appropri-
ately inscribed. The monument was pur-
chased with funds raised from a subscrip-
ton among officers and men of the navy,
and will occupy a conspicuous place in the
Naval Academy cemetery at Annapolis
Maryland, between the Severn river and
the inlet.

Bishop DeGOesbriand's Jubilee.

The fiftieth anniversary of the ordination
of Bishop DeGoesbriand as priest of the
Catholic church was celebrated at Burling-
ton on last week Thursday, with much dig
nifty and impressiveness. 1t was a gala day
from morning till late at night At six
o'clock in the morning the bells were rung
and salute of fifty guns was fired. At ten
O'Clock pontifical high mass was celebrated
at the cathedral, and an audience of fully
two thousand persons was present. Among
the visiting clergymen were Archbishop
Williams of Boston, Bishop Healy of Port.
land, Maine, Bishop Bradley of Manchester
\. H.. Bishop Mcmahon Of Hartford, Conn.
Bishop Wadhams of Ogdensburg, n. Y,
and Bishop Harkins of Providence, r. l.
Bishop DeGoesbriand was celebrant, and
Bishop Healy preached the sermon, The
former in the course of brief remarks said
that he had received from Rev. FIR. Donahue
now at Rome, this dispatch. "The pope's
blessing on the jubilee" At one o'clock a
banquet was served and several after-dinner
speeches were made. In the afternoon, at
half-past three o'clock very interesting exer-
cises were held at the cathedral. The
bishop took a position near the Chancel
steps and, assisted by Very Rev. Father
Lynch, V. G., and Rev Father Gaifney re-
ceived the delegates from the various
parishes Many of these brought handsome
gifts and many received the bishops bless
ing kneeing at his feet. A number of the
parishes presented addresses, some OF which
were beautifully engrossed. After the adj
dresses, the bishop made a pleasant re-
Spouse, concluding with blessing on the
congregation. In the evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, he gave reception
at his home. 1t is estimated that three
thousand persons attended, including many
of the clergymen of Burlington and other
prominent citizens of the city. A torch
light procession, with eight hundred men in
line, closed the days festivities. After the
parade the bishop spoke a few parting
words, and he was then driven to his home.
