for an operation for the removal OF
II cataract from his eyes has since
been rapidly failing and beingconsid-
cred in a critical condition Capt. Ken
field was telegraphed for on Saturday.
The operation itself seemed to have
been successfully performed but COM
pllcatlons set in and it was discover

Brights disease and his recovery is
hardly expected.
The reception given the students
and teachers of the academy by Mr.
and Mrs. A. o. Gates last Friday eve.
will be remembered by all as one of
the pleasantest features of the school
year. The ice cream and cake, music
and social amusements made the
evening pass rapidly away and with
many cheerful words and deep feelings
of appreciation manifested in their
welfare the young people parted
from their kind friends.

Another hint for our honest sap-boilers.
That bright and enterprising young Vermont
er, Fred B. Livingston of Morrisville-he at
whose name President Buckham trembles and
cold shlvers run up the august Spines of the
trustees of the University of Vermont-has
shipped to persons outside the state this sea-
son 5000 quart bottles and 1000 two-gallon
cans OF maple syrup, for which he paid the
producers 80 cents per gallon. Which proves
that maple syrup is a luxury and can be sold
for luxurious prices, and that what the pro
ducers need is not so much a government
bounty little enterprise. What Mr.. Liv-
lngston has done in Morrisville might be done
and ought to be done-in every sugar pro-
ducing community in Vermont.
The comrades who were elected at
last reunion to serve as a committee
will meet at J. NJ Warner Hall, Nor
risville, May %, 1891, at 1 O'Clock p.
m, to draft a programme for the
next reunion which will be on July 3
and 4. We would extend our invita-
ton to the past commanders of the
same to meet with us and help us by
their past experience, and as the W.
K. {. has come to stay we would also
ask them to meet with us by their
president or some delegate she may
send, also the S. of V. by their captain
Dr. his delegate, and by united effort
Ne will try to get up a programme
for the occasion.
VIM MCCLINToCK, Chairman.
