Another Volume by Hon. l.. Il. Chitten-

Another Volume by Hon. l.. Il. Chitten-
den.
A new volume, which is expected to
attract much attention, has just been
written by the Hon. L. Z. Chittenden,
whose personal "reminiscences, publish
ed last spring, was so widely and favorably
noticed by the press. The forthcoming
volume is entitled IAN Unknown Her
ONE" an episode of the war between the
states. The scene is the Shenandoah Val
ley; and the story recounts the rescue from
impending death of a wounded Union
soldier by a southern woman, whose hus-
band, a Confederate soldier, was at the
time prisoner of war. The facts, which
are well authenticated, are related in Mr.
Chittendens lnimitable style, and would
perhaps in a work of fiction be considered
improbable, if not impossible. The work
is one of thrilling interest, and is expected
to add materially to the already we'll estab-
lished reputation of the author of the
"Reminiscences" and the "Recollections of
President Lincoln and his administration. -
The publishers, Messrs. Richmond, Cros-
cup & Co., East 18th St., New York,
expect to have the book ready for delivery
in October 1t will be illustrated with
portraits and map.
Coming, as it does, from the pen of a
distinguished Vermonter, this book will
have a special interest for all Vermont
residents.

Something About Easter.

This year Easter Sunday will fall on th,
End of April The earliest possible day fol
Easter is the 22ud of March, aud it fell on tina
day in lsls-for the FIST time in about zoo
years. One object in arranging the calendar
moon was that Easter might never fall on the
same as the Jewish Passover. They did occur
however, in $50 on the l4th day Of April, ia
1925 on the Bird day OF April, and will do 50
again in 1923 on the LIST Of April, in 1927 on
the 18th OF April and in 1881 on the 18th o.
April. Last year Easter and the Passover
we're separated but by single night. The
Jewish festival usually occurs in Passion week
in Lent, and rever before the 18th of March or
after the 10Th Of April. On the other hand,
he Christian festival is never before the 22nd
Of March or after the 25Ih of April. In 1918
Easter will fall on the 22nd OF March, MS it did
IN ls45 and 1856. The latest Easter occurred
in 1886, the 25th of April. and it will net fall
on that date again until 1913.

County Commissioners Meeting.

The County Commissioners were in SEES
sion on Tuesday for the purpose of completing
the transfers of property for the year. Tn,
Commissioners thought that after theii
previous four days sitting there would not b,
much to do in the way of reducing assess
ments at least, but to their surprise their time
was fully occupied all day. As the clerk ha:
not had the opportunity of making up the list
and perlectng his calculations, it is impossi-
BILE at this time to even make guess as to the
amount of the change made in the assessment
basis. A few of the visitors to the board had
something to say, Ct course, about the
condition of the roads but
apart from this and the trans
ierring Of property, no other business was
done. The bonrd gave notice that at their
next meeting on Tuesday, road supervisors
and tax colectsrs would be appointed. Tn
