lead to the looms above and to the base

ing room eight by ten feet, and leading
from this toward the west is good
sized reading room. This is one of the
pleasantest rooms in the building, as
from its western windows fine view of

room, is the book room, which is de-

heated by q furnace in the basement,

Bath-on-t -the7Hudson having general
supervision of the work and Joseph Bel

just eighteen minutes. 1t speaks vol
umes for the earnestness and liberality
of the Readsboro congregation, that at
the last, after the members had given 80
freely of their means to carry on the en-
terprise, they were able by a final effort
to clear off all debts and possess their
church building free of inCumbran6e.
An eloquent sermon was then preached
by Rev. u. Marten of Bennington, which
was followed by remarks from several OF
the visitors congratulating Readsboro-
people on the possession of their hand
some and convenient structure. After
the supper came the dedicatory exercises
proper. The usual preliminaTies having
ended, Rev. Mr.. Rowley pastor Of the
Baptist church of North Adams, Mass,
preached the dedication sermon. His
subject was "The Kingdom and the
Church" the text being Mat. XxxIv, II,
"And this gospel of the kingdom shah
be preached in all the world, for a viii
ness unto all nations; and then shall the
end come" The sermon was fine dis
course which was heard with deep at
tention. The dedicatory prayer was
made by Rev. Mr.. Goodnow. The choir
then sang an anthem after which the pas
tor of the church, Rev. Mr.. Spencer,
made few remarks concerning the ef
forts put forth by the people to build
this house of worship and now it was at
tanned, their desire that it may be CEN.
ter of active and successful Christian
work. On behalf of the people OF Reads
boro and at their request, Rev. Mr.. Row
ley, expressed to Rev. Mr.. Spencer, their
appreciation of his untirings services,
saying that it was to his efforts more.
than to any other person that the sue
cessful completion of the church was
due. The church is handsome frame
structure costing a little over $1,000.
The interior is finished in the natural
wood and the auditorium is seated with
chairs. The windows are of cathedral
glass and the effect is very cheerful and
pleasant. The wing Of the church whirh
contains the Sunday school rooms opens
into the auditorium by large sliding
doors. The church also possesses a fine
basement which will be fitted up for
reading room and library for the use of
the young people of Readsboro. The
basement is the gift of G. r. Sampson of
Washington, d. q. The people from
North Adams returned home at late
hour. The services of the entire day
were delightful, the hospitality of the
ReadsborO people was bountifull and all
who made the trip were greatly pleased
with their experience. ii

The Rutland Herald has an account of
the "Whiting" Memorial Library at
Chester, which is of interest to some of
our people, as follows: The Whiting Ii
brary at Chester is one of the most beau
tiful in New England. 1t was given to
the town by DR.. Laurin G. Whiting and
Abigail B. Whiting, his wife. DR.. Whit
ing, who had made good fortune by
the successful practice of his profession
in Chester and vicinity, died in June,
1887, and by will bequeathed certain
sum for free library, and also gave his
wife the use of one-half of his estate
during her life and the right to dispose
of it Ay will. She died in May, 1888, and
after few specific bequests gave the
rest OF the estate that she had the right
to dispose of to the town for library.
The town elected three trustees to have
the control and management of the fund
-Clerence Adams, +. P. Mather and
Hugh Henry. The plans for the build
ing were by George H. Gurnsey of Mont
pelier, the same architect who designed
the Roman Catholic church and the
hospital of the Soldiers Home in Ben
nington and many other buildings
throughout the State. The library front
is. 3s feet and the depth Al feet The
basement, lighted by 10 windows, is
five and half feet below grade and
three and half feet above, and is de-
signed to be used for various collections.
The foundation Of the building, three
and a-half feet above grade, is of cut
Chester granite, gray stone of close
texture and susceptible of fine polish
and almost undistinguishable from the
celebrated Barre granite. The building
itself is Of dark brick, with trimmings
Of clouded marble. AS one enters at the
front he passes into Vestibule five by

The VALLEY Neps has this account:
About sixty persons left North Adams
11,3S o'clock Thursday morning, the Sd,
inst, TO attend the dedication of the new
Baptist church in Readsboro. At Hoo
sac Tunnel the party took the narrow
guage railroad for the thriving Vermont
village which was reached at about p.
m. The ladies of the church had wait
ing a bountiful dinner for their guests
and the repast was thoroughly enjoyed.
Soon after the conclusion of the dinner,
the services in the church began. The
service was opened with music, the choir
under the direction of Prof. Z. A. Tower
of North Adams singing the anthem very
acceptably. After the usual preliminary
religious exercises came the report Of
the building committee. THE list of the
contributors showed that the business
men of North Adams had given literally
towards the construction of the church.
The report Of the committee showed that
only $3.50 was needed to enable the
church to dedicate their edifce free of
debt. This sum Of $3.50 was raised in

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.

The Vermont member of the Execu-

Hamilton S. Peek of Burlington, who re-
Gently attended meeting of the commit

to the Republican League clubs of the
State. We commend the letter to our
readers attention. He says:
''The meeting was called by the Presi-
dent of the National League for confer
ence and the consideration of plans for
campaign work in 1892. Representatives
from 2S States and territories were pres
ent. Upon call of the States, the mem
bers gave reports of the condition of the
League in their respective States. These
reports proved conclusively the efficiency
OF the League clubs in State campaigns.

affray are as comfortable as can be ex-

perforated by fine shot which gives it
bad appearance, and he has good deal

which makes serious possibility, though
he is very comfortable at this writing.

One of the events of the week has been
the death of Dom Pedro the last of the
lines of kings of the American Continent.
His daughter, Isabella, it is said will
claim the throne of Brazil. The papers
comment kindly on Dom Pedro career,
but without any expression of regret for
the overthrow of the Empire. One re-
suit of Dom Pedro's death has been to
soften the feeling against Fonseca. The
opinion is universally expressed by Re-
publicans that da Fonseca struck blow
at monarchy at the right time to save
Brazil from the Count d Eu of Paris, who
claims to speak for the Princess Isabella.
1t is the general opinion Dom Pedro
would not have lived much longer even
had he remained in Brazil, and that
Count d Eu would not have been got rid
Of without sanguinary struggle. As it
is, no apprehension is felt that the Count
can accomplish mischief. There is a
strong sentiment, even among Republi-
cans, In favor of permitting Dom Pedro's
remains to be transferred to Brazil, for
all are deeply touched by the evidence of
effectioh for Brazil which he gafe on his
death bed.

There were many new faces in the
Senate Monday, says Webb in the Journal,
and there were many old faces which will
be missed. One of the most conspicuous
of the missing ones was Mr.. Edmunds of
Vermont His absence was noted from
the beginning, as he had one popularity
which is not characteristic of any other
Senator. The Vermont Senator for many
years had never failed to be present at
the opening of Congress. And, in ac-
cordance with the Episcopalian usage, he
had always followed the Chaplain in re-
peating the Lords prayer. No Senator
did that to day, although Senator Kyle,
one of the new granger Senators from
Dakota, is clergyman. The Chaplain
for the first time at the opening of Con-
gress in many years, prayed alone.

The Chinese horrors noted in another
place will scarcely be repeated, as the
government troops have routed the re-
bells, after sanguinary conflict, and at
last accounts were following up their sue
cessess in Manchuria, and bave reoccu-
pied several places that were held by the
rebels. The latter keep up desultory
robber warfare, but have not yet gather
ed courage to make another stand against
the victorious troops. The retreat of the
rebels can be traced by the devastation
they have made everywhere, ruined vii
lagos and desolate fields.
