OBITUARY..
MRS. W. G.. FERRIN

Mrs. W. G. Ferrin of Montpelier
passed away Friday evening, Jan.
30, pneumonia having assailed her
most fiercely on the Monday previ-
Gus, permitting little hope of her re-
covery from the first. There was
barely time for her daughters to
reach her bedside and add their min
istries to those of relatives at hand.
during her few remaining conscious
hours. A sad vacancy is thus made
in the family, and sudden sorrow is
spread throughout a wide circle of
friends. She was known to many of
our readers, for as Harriet Matilda
Harris she was born in Stowe, July
2, 1924. For almost thirty-two
years. however, she had lived in
Montpelier. There she and her hus-
band, Ito whom she was married
Dec. 20, 1S43), were among those
most active in the organization of
the church of the Messiah in 1864.
and through all these years they
have steadily manifested a deep re-
gard for its welfare; but general So
cleCy at the capital, as well as the
church of her choice, loses in Mrs.
Ferrin one who heartily enjoyed the
interchange of social courtesies, and
cheerfully performed her part. Her
llfe's chief interest, however, centered
IN her husband and her children and
grandchildren. She was home-maker
and care-taker with a peculiar devo-
ton; shielding every one but herself
from labor, trouble and pain. Rarely
has mother-love found a more perfect
illustration than in the life of her
whose children now "rise up and call
her blessed" But though the affec-
tlonal elements in ernature were ex-
ceptionally strong, still they were
weli-balanced by an excellent iudo-
ment, a sound common-sense, and
marked force of character. And
those whose lives have been so long
enriched by the bounty of this beau
tiful and unselfish wifely and motherly
devotion, have in their sorrow the
sincere sympathy of many apprecia-
tive friends.

Misleading,

I'VE think Gov. Page made a mis-
take when he advised the SONS of vet
Grams to abstain from politics alto
gether. st. Adams Messenger
The above quotation from the Mes
senger, on Gov. Pages remarks a
the Burlington campfire. on the oc
casion of the Grand Army gathering
there last week, is so peculiar that we
cannot pass it un-noticed. The En-
glish language is hardly capable OF
conveying an impression more mis-
leading. One of Gov. Pages hobbies
is that the omission to participate in
politics to the extent of always and
on all occasions casting an intelligent
ballot is a sin and an evidence of de-
cay in patriotism.
No one doubts that in case of war
the American people would respond
nobly and periodically to any call.
But the danger to the country from
gradual lapse into Indifference as to
its political affairs is a hundred-fold
more to be dreaded than danger from
war. If Bro. Gibbs willread the very
able speech of Senator Evarts on
what our Democratic friends are
pleased to denominate the ''force bill, y
he will find some interesting facts
touching this subject The Senator
shows that in New Hampshire, for in
stance, one in every four and four
tenths of the population.votes, while
in Massachusetts only one in eight,
and in Rhode Island one in nine and
two-tenths, or less than one-half the
number entitled to do so.
Gov. Page's remarks were upon this
inc of thought and his statement was
thatwhile office seeking was to be dep
recated, this growing tendency to
avoid the duty incumbent upon every
goodcitizen to cast anintelligent bal
lot, was an evidence of diminishingpa

generation that the highest privilege.
as well as the highest duty of Ameri-
can citizenship, was the exercise of
this right of suffrage, that the coun-
try which they fought to save might
not go down because men otherwise
good were in larger and larger num-
bers, year by year, failing to do their
duty as patriotic citizens.
We should call things by their right
names. Failing to take enough in
terest in the political welfare of our
country to prompt one to vote is an
evidence of lack of patriotism, and if
the number who omit to perform this
duty is growing year by year larger
and larger it is an evidence of deca-
dence in patriotism.

Rogue Medical Colleges.

GO$dS NtSOtCdl Colleges
The Manchester Union of Feb. 9th
has five column vindication OF II
w. Bailey of Newbury, Vt, who was
with others, in Nov. last, charged
with organizing a bogus medical col
1ageat Newbury. The gist of the whole
matter seems to be that DR.. Geo. B
Hatch issued a lot of catalogues. OF
prOspectuses, setting forth the ad,
vantages of the Union Medical Col
lege of Newbury, Vt" The plans,
however, did not materialize and it
is now claimed that no diplomas were
ever issued from the Institution. This
matter was brought before the Leg
islature at the last session and bill
introduced to prevent any person
using the name of Medical College"
or granting diplomas in Vermont ex-
cept by special act of Legislature.
The bill was killed and Vermont must
be further disgraced by a continual
ton of these institutions within her
borders, as the following announce
ment in "The Cynosure published
in Boston shows:
''The next term of lectures in the
Vermont Medical College at Rutland
will commence April 10Th A full
course will be given to the public
Until then address the Dean at 126
Berkeley St, Boston, Mass"
In the same paper is an address to
the American Health Society, Boston,
closing with the following:
''The widest possible diffusion of
all essential principles Of a correct
medical practice is the basic principle
on which was founded our society;
and our motto is,-'''a medical edu-
cation is the only means of physical
salvation"
The Vermont Medical College, in
cOrporated at Rutland, TT, is the
only Medical College, known to the
writer, that advocates and teaches
these principles.
Far be it from US to say one word
against the personal character of DR..
Geo. Dutton the head of this institu-
ton. He may be a skillful physician
and learned man, but to have the old
and time honored name of Z" Vermont
Medical College" which the doctor has
appropriated, prostituted in this way
is a disgrace which Vermont ought
not to be compelled to suffer The
Supreme Court of Vermont has placed
its seal of condemnation upon the in
stitution and forbidden its issuing
diplomas, and yet our laws are so lax
and ineffective in matters of this kind |
that the doctor can continue to adj |
vertise his institution as "The Yer |
mont Medical College, incorporated |
at Rutland, Vt, and when his pupils
have completed their course, can give
them certificate that they have pur-
sued a course of lectures at the g Ver-
mont Medical College" Armed with
these certificates its graduates go
forth to disgrace the fair name of Yer
mont and to give US the unpleasant
distinction of being the birthplace
and home of bogus medical colleges.
