A merry Christmas and a
happy New Year to all!
I have such pleasant letter
for you, dear friends, this time.
Death has mercifully ended the
suferings of those whose story
has saddened these pages. Their
Christmas tide was celebrated
with rejoicings far above our
feeble strivings after happiness.
The Infrmary is growing every
day in virtues, in advantages and
in strides towards the goal for

is filling with private patients and
increasing in nurses. Miss Mary
E. Haley, of Georgetown, is the
new housekeeper. A friend has
sent you a full notice of the insti-
tuition from her standpoint Of a
discharged patient, we'll and
happy. 1t appears elsewhere in
this issue and will give you fair
idea of this haven of rest and
comfort. There have been a
number of successful surgical ope-
rations since my last. There are
no cases i'll unto death so far as
we know. The interesting charity
patients whom [ have introduced
to you, have all gone home, and

cord has nothing to do save to
wish them all the health and

the richness Of the knowledge of
wise and pleasant things. The
Kindergarten system imparts in
struction with every toy like uten-
sill used. The string instead of
idly building Jacobs ladder, or
the crows foot, is made to show
the pulley principle. The blocks
which build such pretty houses in
the nursery, are here used to form
geometric figures. Germs of in
vention are planted with each joy
Gus laugh of triumphant building,
and the destructive bump in the
little Uranium is smoothed into a
spirit of laudable investigation.
The songs make light the heart
which has no other wellspring of
pleasure. More than all, the clean
illness, the refinement, the personal
graces of a cultured teacher, in
fuse new ideas and ambitions.
What though the child return to
his swallowing in the mire," be-
tween whiles. This one bright bit
of sunshine with which his day
begins, will linger through all the
intermediate gloom.
Should active steps be taken to
establish free Kindergarten in
Lexington. We trust that our
readers will siks encouragement 6, to
to the enterprise. The question is
even now being mooted in cur
midst.

Lexington, already ripe in good
works, needs yet another institu-
ton to meet the wants of a grow
ing city. Growth implies pro-
gress, yet clean commercial and in
dustrial progress is no more natu-
raj than is the untended growth of
the plant free from weeds So in
our improvements and strides to-
wards citydom, there is the usual
influx and increase of poverty and
ignorance,in our midst. We have
the college for those who will sup
port it, and the free public school
for all who prefer that system.
What we lack is free Kindergar.
ten. Children under eight years
of age have really no Legitimate
place in the regular schools, and
what is to be done for them during
those tender years, in case they
have not the envirpnment of Chris
tian homes?
The arguments in favor of the
free Kindergarten are not new, yet
they are such as suggest themselves
to every thoughtful parent and
teacher.
The tenements Of the poor
swarm with little ones. They are
exposed to every form of evil ex-

young children uttering profane

ones were wrangling in boisterous
rudeness and quarreling all that
they could for the tobacco that
was in their mouths y Who that
has walked the streets but has seen
little boys trading in cigarettes, and
larger ones gambling in marbles?
Those who ride in carriages are
spared all ungentle sights and
sounds not inflicted by their own
darlings under the shelter of home.
What a blessing to gather these
poor untaught babes under one
roof and teach them that there is

In February before the begin

Joseph Rich, the railroad man
who was brought here almost
dead from typhoid fever and
went away we'll after weeks Of
nursing, has written Miss Jen--

The Home of the Friendless
looked unusually tidy and pros
porous at my last visit. The
flowers had all hidden their heads,
but the good people did not seem
to miss them. Mother Steele sat
resting from her early morning
work of sewing carpet rags. She
lifted her sightless eyes and
smiled her welcome. Just across
in her rocking chair Aunt Patsy

were the piles of rags from which
she made her balls. l said, II

see another new carpet soon, and
that l should expect her to make
for me a rug of silk pieces.
Mother Cronleigh still nurses
her lame foot. She is harmless
and amiable, quite a favorite of
Matron Mary. One of the old
ladies was out for walk. The
kitchen in the basement has
been deserted for the warmer
one upstairs. Here Mother
Morris was cooking dinner Just
out on the brick walk stood Aunt
Amy with her pets, for now Dick

OFFICERS REUNION.

The meeting of the Vermont officers
was held at Newport on Friday last,
not large number being present. A
business meeting was held, and the fol-
lowing officers we're elected for the
year: President, U. A. Woodbury. of
Burlington; vice presidents, Lewis HI.
Bisbee of Chicago, ILL.,, P. D. Blodgett
of St. Johnsbury; treasurer, L. G.
Kingsley of Rutland; secretary, Fred
E. Smith of Montpelier.
The next meeting will be held at
Montpelier during session time in the
fall of 1892.
At s o'clock p. m. procession was
formed under the direction of Maj. @.
F. Branch, marshal, which followed
the Newport band to the Opera Hall,
where an address was given by Hon.
E. B. Sherman of Chicago. The ad-
dress showed by statistics, incident
and history what women through
their efforts in the Christian and San
itary commissions, in camp, hospital
and at home did for the soldier. The
paper was finely written, and was of
much interest in a line not often con-
sidered in speeches and writings on the
war. The speaker paid tribute to the
women of the country and spoke of
several wellknown Vermont ladies
who did an honored service in the
time of the war. The Society returned
to the Memphremagog House, where
a banquet supper with "after dinner"
speeches was enjoyed. The supper
was worthy the house and was enjoy
ed by many citizens as well as the So
ciety and guests present. Among the
more distinguished soldiers and Yer
monters present were Secretary Red
field Proctor, the orator, and L. H. Bis
bee, Esq, of Chicago; Joel G. Baker,
the president, from Rutland; Hon. G.
G.. Benedict of Burlington; Fred E.
Smith of Montpelier; Gen. and Maj.
Grout. The occasion was a pleasant
one all around.

HORSE BREEDERS ASSOCIATION
FAIR.

The fifth annual meeting of the AS
sociation was held at Newport on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of
last week, on the new park built by
the Newport Trotting Association.
The number of entries was nearly
three hundred and included, probably,
the most valuable lot of horses ever
exhibited in this part of Vermont. The
first day opened pleasant, with a rath-
er small attendance. Wednesday was
rainy, with perhaps two thousand
present. Thursday was bright and
cool and the attendance was large,
estimated at 4,5OO. The Park is sit
uated in Derby on a practically level
plat just west of the railroad, and north
and adjoining the DIR. Hoskins lot 1t
is a half mile north of the Newport
depot. Extensive buildings, stands,
etc, have been built. A large "grand"
stand is erected with roof and seats
sufficient to hold a thousand people,
Smaller stands for the judges, band,
etc, are up. A capacious dining hall
and a large number of booths are
built and the conveniences for victual-
ing the people are ample. Two large
barns with box stalls for trotters, stall
lions and the more valuable horses
have been built. Besides this is a roof
ed stall building of 500 feet in length
with 100 pens or stalls. A fine track
sufficient for five horses to trot abreast
is laid and everything done to make the
Park all that could be desired for its
purposes. 1t is built by a stock COM
pany and will be resort for the large
number of horse raisers and horse
owners in that locality who wish to
train or sport with horses. A siding
is built on the R. r. and passengers
alight at one entrance of the grounds
Within the last fifteen years several
parties in the limits of the Society have
made the breeding of fast, high bred
horses a business. Notably among
these are the Baileys of Maplewood
stock farm at Hardwick; the Bates of
Highland stock farm, Derby; Burbank
& Williams of Coventry; the Crystal
Lake stock farm at Stanstead and 9th
ers. Since the advent of Golden. Abb
dallah Wilkes, Nutmount, Ben Frank
lin and several other high bred and
noted stations and the use of
thoroughbred brood mares there
has been a great improvement in
horse stock through all this section.
Some of these horses and large num-
Der of the colts were on the grounds
during the fair, ,and the owners of good
and speedy horses were gratified with
an exhibition that will be noted. The
limited space of the county paper will
not allow of an attempt at detailed de-
scription. The list of premiums will
be of interest and give names of some
of the stock, though the number of
premiums was not sufficient to give
very many of the worthy animals
a premium or a mention. Had it been
possible, we should have given full
er account of individual animals. and
of the stock of large number of good
breeders shown in the fair We saw
here that exhibitors should have cards
written or printed, which can be seen
