all who did not wish to hear the
address and who could not stay un-
til its close, be kind enough to go
out before it began, an opportunity
of which about 100 children availed
themselves. The orator of the dav,
Hon. Wendell P. Stafford, was then
introduced and his appearance was
greeted with prolonged applause
Mr.. Stafford address was polished,
scholarly effort and was one of the
best ever heard in St. Johnsbury.
Hespoke for nearly an hour and was
frequently applauded as the strong
points of his discourse met the hearty
endorsement of the audience At its
close the speaker was again applaud
ed, loud and long
At our request the speaker has fur
nished us the following summary of
his address:
1.-The argument was that, broadly
viewed, the old union was neither
the object nor the justihca ton
of the war; that slavery was its real
cause aud the overthrow of slavery
its sound justification; that the vet
Grams claim to gratitude was not
that they saved the Union, but that
they saved the Union without slavery.
Consequently that honor was due to
the men (the abolitionists) who
fought the same fight for 80 years
before the rebellion.
The pro-slavery clauses of the ola
constitution were stated and their
origin explained. Then the career of
Garrison, his boyhOod of poverty,
his youth as printers apprentice and
editor, his discovery of Whittier's
genius and first meeting with the
poet, his experience with Lundy and
taste of the slave system in Balti-
more, where he was jailed for expos
ing slave carrier, his return to Bos-
ton, his vain appeal to the clergymen
Of the day, the stolid indifference of
all classes to the prayer of the bond
man, his audacious manifesto in the
first number of the Liberator, the
seeming hopelessness of his cause, his
trust in the people and confidence in
the outcome, his marvellous fortitude
and foresight-the events which
slowly revolutionized Northern
thought, the division of churches and
the wrecking of parties on the agita-
tion he began, the final rallving of
all sects and parties at the North
under the banner of liberty and at
the South under the black flag of
slavery as Garrison had foreseen and
foretold in 1914, the heroic services
of the Union soldiers carrying the
same agitation before them on their
bayonet points to its triumphal close
the lessons of courage and self-for-
getfulness taught us by these deeds
and events, especially the young,
who ought to be ready to bear on
the reforms of the present and the
future without regard to our own
risk or loss-the tender and reverent
place the veterans hold in our hearts
today"
After the address the audience re-
mained seated while the Grand Army
marched out and proceeded to Monu-
ment square. The Soldiers monu-
ment was surrounded and the flow
ers from the stage at Music hall were
deposited around it's base The roll
of honor was read by Capt. A. w.
Roberts, the comrades standing with
barred heads, and this ended the cere-
monies of the day.

AT THE ACADEMY.

AT THE ACADEMY.
The class in practical physics has
been doing some practical work re-
Gently in measuring the velocity of
sound. The distance from the Acad-
emy to a certain point on Harris
hill was ascertained by trigonometry
to be 5000 feet. A party of young
men then went to that point at
night and fired a gun at intervals of
one minute, while another party at
the Academy with a stop watch
noted the the time intervening be-
tween seeing the flash and hearing
the report. Quite number of OBJ
servations were made and the average
taken, which was 113O feet second.
The velocity of sound varies little
according to the density of the air
and this figure cannot be taken as
correct at all times
commencement honors have been
awarded by competition to Roland
E. Stevens Of Norwich, John D.
Hazen, Hazen's Mills, N H, Miss
Eulalie o. Grover, Center Ossipee, N
H, Miss Anna NJ Clark, 8rookfeld

The Washington and Ohio Railroad

The attractions along the route of the WASH
fngton and Ohio Railroad are daily increasing
New boarding-houses and resorts are ,open,
and the season for fruit and dainty country
edibles is quite prolific. The road has steadily
improved under the Richmond and Danville
system, and the accommodations for passen-
gers arc flrst-class in every respect. The en-
ployes are experienced men, who have been in
the service for years, and are especially atten-
tive to the comfort of ladies with sick infants,
and inyalids generally, who are on their way
to gain renewed strength from the pure air Of
the Blue Ridge and the adjacent villages. The
fishing this year in the upper Potomac and
tributary streams is very fine while everything
is done for the comfort of sportsmen at the
boarding-houses. Altogether the Washington
and Ohio Railroad affords more real pleasure
to the average summer boarder for less money,
probably. than any other road in the country.
General Passenger Agent James l.. Taylor has
recently issued his Summer Homes for 1897
in which full information is given in every
particular. Apply for copy at the Richmond
