We notice the CITIZEN correspondent at
Pleasant Valley, in speaking of the accident
TO HARDWOOD Barnes in last week S ISSUE de-
clares him to be Better at TINS writing.
Now. as Mr.. Barnes had been dead about a
week when the paper arrived here, we re-
spectfullv say that said writing was out
of date, and that an event so important as
death should be announced when occurring
will be well remembered as the owner and
driver of the stage line from Montpelier to
ST .IOhnshury for many years, ms route
passing through Hyde Park, Morrlsvllle and

this town. owning and working in the saw
mill now owned hv K. 6. Hill He was a
millwlight by trade Mr.. Barnes was man
of rugged frame very active spirit, and reso-
lutte and coura geOus. He was OF a iOng-lIved
family, his father living nearly century, Cy-
ing in Elmore about 1873 Last fall Mr..
Barnes pitched his tent in ElmOre again, eX-
changing n house in Barre for the farm OF
Lyman Gale On Feb. II. while aloft in his
barn feeding his stock, he fell, and In some
way injured his spine, from which death re-
suited the following Thursday. Since set
thing in his new house Mr.. Barnes was said

The gospel meetings were held every night
last week until Sal urday. Monday evening
Rev W f. Allen of WolcOtt, delivered very
interesting discourse, followed by a social
meeting. Tuesday evening u social meeting
was held, the theme being ''Consecration.
" ednesday evening bible reading was con-
Quoted by the pastor the subject being Re
pentance." Thursday evening another
powerful discourse was delivered by
Rev Mr. Allen, from the text, What is that
to thee, follow thou me" Friday evening a
social meeting was held. On Sunday evening
of this week a social meeting was held, being
well attended, and at which an excellent
spirit prevailed. all seeming to obtain bless
ings and renewal of strength We think all
will agree that these meetings have been pro-
ductive of good. The church has been quick
ened into new life, and many outside of the
church have been seeking the way of life and
salvation from sin. There has been a con
spicuous absence of that excitement and tu-
multi which are at times a reproach to revi-
walls of religion. All seemed actuated by a
settled abiding purpose to do right before
God. This (Mondayl evening bible read
ing service will be held by the pastor, and the
meetings continued as long as the interest is
maintained The attendance has not been
large owing to prevalent illness and icy
walking.
