The Congregational Club of Western Yer

mont.
The above named club held its thir-
tenth regular meeting at the Walloom-
sac House, Tuesday afternoon. An
excellent dinner was promptly served as
soon as the members and their friends
arrived from the North. Between thirty
and forty were present. After dinner,
the business session was opened in the
pleasant parlors of the hotel, by singing
1.-THE hymn "Jesus shall reign ETC."
The President of the Club, Rev. DR.. G..
w. Phillips of Rutland presided in his
usual happy manner, and after prayer the
'outine business of the club was trans
Icted. Two very able and interesting
papers were presented, the first on
Christian Economics" by W. j. Van
IAtten, ESQ.,, late President of the Y, NJ.
lC. A. of Burlington, and the second on
christian Civics," by Rev. G.. F. Carter,
1f the College street church, Burlington.
These papers were ably discussed by
some of the members present, although
THE time was rather limited and the full
enjoyment was cut short somewhat in
consequence. The we'll known hospital
lily of the good people of the Centre was
courteously extended, and the friends on
leaving, exposed themselves as highly
pleased with the occasion, the town and
with their entertainment. These pleas
ant and profitable entertainments would
be more enjoyed If greater numbers could
be induced to join the Club and partici-
pate in its meetings.

 does not depend upon Glver mining. This is true Of all the nountalu States and territories With thepossible eXcep- ton cf Nevada, but nevertheless the closing or a larg number of silver mines

Incidental to manufacturing Is the the mining of coal, and this is rapidly growing as one of the industries of the State. California at one time depended almost entirely upon its gold mines, but agriculture in its various forms eventu- aIly surpassed mining, a1d now CalifoT- nia is hardly looked upon as a mining state. Changes of this character re- quire time, but they come with the growth of population and the diversity Of wants winch is incidental to large of inhabitants.

ready made Burge an offer that will prevent him from signing without con- sulting them first, as he has been assur- ed that the Coney Island Club will out bid any other club competing for the fight. It is hardly likely that McAuliffs will stand in his O VII light and insist upon fighting in New Orleans, even trough he is man of his word.
 Some rare sport in the fstic line is promised the sports in this vicinity be- fore long in the shape of fight to in- ish between two exceptionally heavy men. Fatty Langtry and Bob Patter- son. Langtry is by far the more clever of the two, although Patterson is very stiff puncher. Each time they have met in friendly bouts, while it was rare sport for the boys, resulted in harder feeling arising between the two men. It has finally reached such a point that Patterson has issued challenge to fight Langtry for the 25O pound champion ship, side bet of S200 and the largest purse offered. Both men weigh in the neighborhood of 300 pounds. It is said that Langtry IS just as anxious to fight as Patterson, and mill between these two big fellows is anxiously looked for.
 Now since the New York Yacht club has accepted the challenge of the Royal Yacht Squadron for a race for the American cup matters are very brisk in yachting circles. A number of English yachts will accompany Lord Dunraven yacht Valkyrie to this country and will take part ID many of the American races. It is expected that the yachting season of 1893 will sbe the greatest that has ever been held in American waters, As soon as the Custom House certificate of the Valkyrie Is received the cup con- mittee will select the yacht that is to dsfend the cup against Lord Dunraven's new craft. There will be a number of new yachts built this winter by men who would not have thought of going to that expense were it nos for the sud den boom yachting has taken through the acceptance of Lord Dunraven's challenge, coupled with the fact that Designer Watson IS hard at work laying down the lines for at least half dozen yachts that will come over to America n 1893 Co compete for prizes.

There is once more sympathy and agreement between the free traders Oi England and the tariff reform party oi this country, and two things have united co bring tie oneness of the twain con spicUously out, namely, the late speech Of Salisbury at Hastings and the act tt grant American register to two British LailU saips owned by American citizens.
