So deeply, darkly, densely blue
With the Southern Cross ablaze
In a tangled silver maze,

Full blossomed in the warm moist night
And the stately jasmine flower.
With all her subtle power,
Pouring out her souls delight.

THE VERMONT CONFERENCE.

The issue of lions Herald for
March 9 devotes a great deal of
space to the history of the Vermont
conference, with portraits and
sketches of the four present presiding
elders, and long poem by Rev. A. J.
Hough, which deals in rhyme with
the personnel of the several districts.
A complete official church directory
of the conference is also given. There
is, too, a view and sketch of the Yer
mont Methodist seminary at Mont
pelier, and a column or two given to
leading women in the conference.
Revs. W. D. Malcom, P. N. Granger, r.
L. Bruce and w. J. Kidder contributed
articles to this feature of the paper,
and the whole forms a valuable con-
ference number of the Herald. Our
religious contempory shows consid-
cradle en- erprise in its presenta ton
of so much matter pertaining to the
Vermont conference, and members of
that denomination in this state will
doubtless appreciate this extended
hearing" accorded them.

AMHERST COLLEGE NOTES.

The republican national conven-
tion of the college, the entertainment
for the benefit of the Base Ball asso-
citation, was held in College hall,
Tuesday evening. The candidates,
Harrison, Blaine. Alger, Mckinley,
and Sherman, were nominated with
rousing speeches and a hot contest
was carried on through seven bal
lots, when Harrison was nominated
by majority of 10. Cleveland re-
ceived a complimentary vote on the
first ballot by the democrats and
mugwumps of 6S votes out of 284
cast. Blaine and Harrison were the
two leading candidates from the
start, though Sherman on two or
three ballots, backed by the demo-
cratic faction, received a large vote.
On the last ballot but six were cast
for others than Blaine and Harrison.

THE UNION SCHOOLS.

Quite a number of "children of a
larger growth" were present at the
room in Union school building pre-
sided over by Miss Clark and her as
sistant, Miss Harvey, on Friday af-
ternoon last, to enjoy the rhetorical
exercises. The programme was
made up of recitations and music,
and the ease and accuracy with
which the pupils did the work as
signed to them was very refreshing
to the listeners Evolutionary ex-
cellence was especially noticeable-a
feature which, we are glad to note,
is receiving due attention at the
schools now. All who were present
that afternoon commented favorably
on the entertainment offered them.
The primary department of the
Union school closed its work for the
term on Friday last with the excep-
ton of Mrs. Beck's room) and has a
three weeks vacation Mrs Beck's
room and the upper grades close this
week, for fortnight's respite.

THE SUMMERVILLE BRIDGE.

The scheme of having an iron
bridge from Railroad street to Sum-
merville is being revived again and
the Board of Trade are looking into
the practical side of the question.
1t will be remembered that at the
recent Board of Trade banquet Pres
ident Turner said he hoped the
people of St. Johnsbury would
Join with US in building safe, sub
stantial bridge over the railroad
tracks on Portland street, and there
by abolish a dangerous grade cross
ing" The cost of an iron bridge is
being looked up and estimates will
be furnished. 1t is expected that the
Boston & Maine railroad will pay a
generous proportion of the expense
of the bridge for the sake of abolish
ing the grade crossings and obtain
ing more side tracks. In the near
future the old wooden bridge will
have to be repaired, and good
many people think the town can
we'll afford to have a substantial
iron bridge that will be permanent

THE FIGURE TOO HIGH.

In Rev. A. ]. Hough's Vermont
conference poem in a recent number of
lions Herald, he begins his reference
to St. Johnsbury district thus:
"There winter VS., and ws, and SHOWS
Drifts rise to twenty feet,
But cool the breeze that DER her blows
Amidst the summers heat.
The reverend gentleman has put
the snowdrift figure too high (so
far as the present seasons concerned,
at least) and ought to be willing to
make generous reduction" in the
interest of peace, and to avert a suit
for defamation Of climate.

ACADEMY NOTES.

In connection with the prepara-
tions now in progress for a proper
observance of the semi-centennial
of the Academy next summer, it may
be stated that Messrs. Lvtle, Clin-
ton Carpenter and Toothaker have
made arrangements to issue a
book Of 100 pages, which they
will call The Semi-Centennial Sou
venir," and which will contain a full
account of the semi-centennial pro-
ceedings, and many other things in
which all those who have at any
time been connected with the school
will be very much interested. The
Souvenir will be entitled to a large
sale, and will, we feel sure, be popular
among all who look to st. Johnsburv
Academy as their Alma Mater.
The annual mock trial held in No
10 last Friday evening was attended
by an unusually large number, and
was very much enjoyed by all.
The docket contained cases exceed
ingly interesting to those concerned.
The last case tried was one
of larceny, which resulted in convict
ing the prisoner of appropriating ice
cream. The case was founded on
facts, which added somewhat to the
interest, and the sentence was a term
of imprisonment "at softlabor in the
Old Woman's home"

TWO RECENT DEATHS.

"The laughing stock of gods and

Speaker Reed concerning the pres
ent House of Representatives. Ev-
en- Western Democrats have chris
tened it "The Five-cent House.

Maine statesman dashed the imbecile
House a few days since was a sight
worth seeing and remembering. He

Constitution of the United States, il
they knew what that was. II was
higher authority than any House OF
Representatives. The Republicans
were present, ready and willing to
be counted as a quorum. in accor-
dance with the Constitution, but the
Democratic House could not see
them. Mr.. Mcmillan of Tennessee
thought that he could parry the
point by suggesting that Mr.. Reeds
own rules in the last Congress had
caused him to suffer much. "Suf.
fer" said Reed, taking up the word
"he was not conscious of having ex-
perienced any suffering. The at
tacks of the Democrats of the last
Congress had never risen to that
height of importance; but this Dem.
v.latic House had succeeded in max
ing itself the laughing stock of gods
