Salisbury in 1897.

Continuing our letters of John A.
Graham, LII. D., we print the following
of interest to many of our readers.
SALISBURY, which we next visit, is a
rich flourishing town, adjoining Ben
nington, and the State of Ner York; the
land is admirable for raising every kind
of grain, pulse and vegetable. 1t also
produces the finest apples and peaches,
pears, plums, cherries and ounces in
the whole State.
Nor is their beef, mutton, pork, butter
and cheese, inferior either in quantity
or quality to their other productions.
They export their superfluities to Neu
Ctty and Troy, at as cheap rate as the
inhabitants of Bennington. Pot and
pearl ashes afford great assistance in
making remittance for their imports;
there is scarce a town i'll Vermont that
exports more of these articles. / have
known six thousand barrels sent off
out of the State in one season, since the
war.
The inhabitants are rich farmers, prin-
cipally emigrants from Rhode Island.
There is no public building, except the
Westinghouse which is handsome and
connexions. The Rev. Mr.. Blood is
the minister, and an able Scandinavian
preacher.
The Hon. Mr.. Olin, is without exccp-
ton, one of the firmest supporters of the
State, and a political Star of the first
magnitude. He possessed great natural
talents, an intuitive knowledge of man
kind, and is at once nObly free i'll his
opinions. and decided in his conduct.
On religious subjects, his ideas are as
liberal rs his soul is expanded, soaring
above the mean fopperies of priestcraft,
and the fanaticiSm of Nelc England: he
is in the most comprehensive sense of
the word-a Christian; and to the very
ardent desire of doing good, unites the
strongest energy OF character. The most
unsulied honour; and veracity on all
he utters impresses the seal OF truth.
Mr.. OliR, for many years, discharged the
important duties of Speaker of
the House Of General Assembly,
he is now one of the Council
of State, and one of the Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas in the
county of Bennington.
Mr.. GdluSbed is also one of the Coun-
ell of State; he is mild, benevolent, of Il
philosophic turn of mind, and OF q clear
comprehensive understanding. Though
not a dealer in many words, he gives his
reasons WlJn OpeuneSS anu C.luoi, gnu
always makes them plain to the meanest
capacity. He despises party intrigues,
and the little dirty Duplicates of faction,
and at the same time cOntrives to avoid
censure. That such a man should be
esteemed and beloved by all who know
him, is but the just tribute due to such
exalted worth!
SALISBURY is finely watercd, and has
several corn and saw mills. they have
vast quantities of white marble here, OF
quality equal to any have seen III
Europe, though at present, they have
not The art of polishing it so highly
They use it for their fireplaces, tomb

Mr.. J. NJ. Pulsifer representing the
Shaver Corporation, m nulacturers of the
Molecular reicpuUne is in town this
wee. mLSing arrangements to introduce
the system here. This telephone is
taking well and the right to use il hJs
been sold for all New England, except a
few counties in Vermont of which Ben
ningtUn is one. This is apparently sue
cessful rival to the Bell Telephone that
has enjoyed monopoly of the business
fince 1878.
A specimen line has been erected be-
tween the stores of |. Z. Gibson and w.
A. Wall & Co., and the line works to the
satisfaction of all who have tried it. The
proposal here is to form a stock COM
pany and with it control these telephones
for our town and county. Selectman
Harris, |. Z. Gibson and Others are in
terested and the project is bound to go,
and thus add to our modern improve
ments of wafer works, electric lights,
etc, telephone service within
the means of the people. The
highest rate we have heard men,
toned is 81. per month, with reason
able deductions where two or more in
struments are hired by the same person
or firm. From private letter we quote:
1.-THE Shaver Telephone works beauti-
fully and works through the Exchange
nicely over lines much longer than the
Shaver Corporation guarantee. We find
no fault with them at ALL" 1.-THE long
est line through the Exchange is at my
house which is over a mile, and it talks
beautifully through the Exchange over
another line of three-fOmths of a mile"
We see no good reason why our people
should be without this fine telephone
service, with local company:to manage
it, reasonable rates and a phone that
works as well as this one does.

Woman's Christian Temperance
UtnNnn


Scarcely six months ago, by the united
efforts of Mrs. Smith. the County Presi-
lent of the Woman's Christian Temper
auce Union and few earnest Christian
women of Arlington, Woman's CHRIS
tian Temperance Union was organized
at that place. The Union since then has
been steadily growing in interest and
numbers.
They have in charge a Loyal Temper
ance Legion, numbering sixty members.
Nearly all have signed the triple pledge,
which fOrbids the use of Intoxicating
liquors, tobacco and prOfane language.
And now we are glad to report that this
Union. the youngest in The county, have
been preparing for Demorest contest
Through the Untiring efforts of the Su-
perintendent of the Loyal Temperance
Legion, Miss Benedict, also of the Presi-
dent and Secretary of the Woman
Christian Temperance Union the ar
rangements were completed and the con-
test was held April LIST, in the Congrega-
tional church at East Arlington. Eleven
young people, ranging from twelve to
twenty-one years of age, participated:
The speaking was very fine and showed
that they had been carefully drilled.
Here follows a report of the awards,
another version of which we gave last
week.-ED.
Perhaps it will be of interest to the
reader to know who originated these
Medal contests and why.
Mr.. w. Jennings DemOrest of New
York City, man of large wealth and
deep interest in the temperance cause,
has had the happy thought to offer prize
Medals to young people who shall (by
the decision of the committee appointed
for the purpose) best recite selections on
I the temperance question.
The growth and success of the Medal
contests have been little short of phe-
nomenal. The first one was held May
4 o. 1886 in New York City. Since that
time over II 900 medals have been dis
tributed, all of which are generously fur
nished by Mr.. Demorest. A large num-
I Der Of States have special superintend-
ents for this work North Carolina was
the Banner State in 1888 and 1889. Ne
braska now has that honor, 1900 medals
having been won by her children.
Mr.. Demores's object in having these
contests was to arouse young people to
the indignities Of the traffic of intoxicat-
ing liquors and also to stamp upon their
minds the principles of pure life. This
offer is open to every local Woman S
Christian Temperance Union, and why
cannot every Union in our county seize
this splendid opportunity and awaken
our young people in the interest of tenn
perance.
For information concerning these con
tests write to Mrs c. +. Woodbury., 10
K. 14th street, New York city.

Deaths: During the past week three
deaths have occurred among our people
and there have been as many funerals.
The first to happen was that of Mrs.
Thomas Franklin Paddock who died the
eighth inst, and was buried on the ninth.
Her death was followed by that of David
Hibbard on the 9th inst. His funeral
was from the Congregational Church at
the hour of the regular Sunday service.
Then followed the death of Mr.. Thomas
Paddock the 18th inst. His funeral was
on Wednesday of this week. Mrs. Pad
ter of Perry Tyler. She had been mar
ried about six years. She was good
wife and neighbOr and will be missed by
all who knew her. David Hubbard was
GO years old. He had lived in town
almost continually since 1913. He was a
carpenter and joiner by trade and in
many respects model workman. He
was employed mostly to do the nicer
finishing work inside of houses. His
chief fault was in regard TO the small
particulars of his work. He never was
satisfied with himself, and would imag.
inc defects that no one else could see.
On this account he perhaps stood in his
OWll way hOiUtllultS, Ilb dlSD wis Out
inclined to think little upon the more
serious questions of life, but he was
withheld from any certain belief or con.
victiun in the matter by what might be
called bugbears or vagaries such as a
certain class of minds are always subject
to. He married for his second wife,
Hannah North, widow of James North,
who survives him. Thomas Paddock
was one of our oldest citizens, as he
would have been 81 years of age. He
was the son of Daniel Paddock who lived
on the farm now owned by Mr.. George
Peckham. Thomas Paddock was there.

He was universally respected for his

him for good neighbor. The tendency
of his life was to help others and to dc

and exacting one. Had he rather fulfilled
the latter conditions he might have died

Levy's military hand.

This noted band will appear in Ben
nington on the Dist inst. The large au
ditorium of the st. Francis de Sales new
edifice will be used for the occasion. Il
is understood that the Rev. j. S. MichauC
in this transaction is giving an Opportu
nifty for our people to hear this cele
brated organization, band not Otter
heard outside of the larger cities. Under
! the circumstances it is certain our peo'
pie will turn out en- mdSSe, fill the church
and save any loss that might result if a
great audience was not present. In this
connection we copy notice from the
Washington Critic and Record of April
2nd inst:
"a new band lately organized by
Levy, the great cornet player, made its
first appearance here yesterday afternoon
and afterwards at the Academy of Music
last night. The band had already APP
peared in New York and the press had
stamped it as tirst-class orga lZatlon.
This estimate is well deserved. Mr..
Levy had gathered together number OF
performers who form an admirable band.
The proportion of wind and reed instru-
ments has been made with taste and to
secure full, mellow volume of sound.
The members are evidently experienced
and trained bandsmen. The skill OF the
organization was finally illustrated in
the programme, which included beau
tiful selection from Meyerbeer, Doni-
zetti, Bizet and other composers, with
vocal selections sung by an excellent
tenor, good baritone, u fine mezzo-so-
prano and fresh and flexible soprano.
1.-THE concert was one of the best of
the best of the season from an artistic
point of view. Levy's phenomenal ex-
cellence as performer on the cornet is
familiar to all. He played number of
astonishing things and was frequently
encOred. The singers were specially
warmly applauded. 1t was as a leader,
however, that Mr. Levy blossomed out as
an original. After the quietness and
firmness of Nichsch Mr.. Levy's methods
were a revelation
