LAST Monday was decidedly the worst
day Of the winter. The snow of Sunday
night, which was evidently the fag end Of
the heavy storm throughout New England
and eastern New York on Saturday, was
piled high by the wind that blew gale all
day. The hill roads were badly blOckaded
and railway traffic was seriously interrupted
| A slight accident occurred on the Mont
pelier and Wells River railroad-a rear col.
lision between the snow plow and mail
| train. Nobody was hurt, however and the
damage was slight. Nearly all freight
trains were abandoned on both roads and
| passenger trains were from two to eight
hours late. The mail train over the Central,
| due in Montpelier at four o'clock, arrived AT
| half past nine, and the night trains had not
been heard from at seven o'clock, Tuesday
| morning. The severe cold Of Tuesday
tarded the work Of clearing the tracks, but
commendable energy and promptness was
exercised by the management of both lines.
BETHANY CHURCH votel, forty-six TO
twenty-five, last Wednesday evening, to
accept The resignation of Rev. G. W. Gala
CHER The following resolutions were passed
as expressing their estimation Of his ser
vices ResolUed, That in accepting the
resignation of our pastor, we most cheer
fully bear testimony TO bis uDblemisbed
Christian character to his ability and
fidelity as a preacher and teacher of the
gospel and to his faithful labOrs az pastor
Moreover, it should be recorded that the
regular church attendance has improved
under his ministry; the social meetings have
gra1fyiDgly increased both in numbers and
interest; the Sunday-school has been re-
enforced and strengthened by a largely
attended Bible class which the pastor has
organized and has conducted from week to
week, and a new and hopeful interest has
been awakened among the young people Of
the parish-all of which but serves to in
teusify our sorrow in view of the causes
which have led to this resignation"
THE old-fashioned snging-school held
last Friday evening in Bethany chapel was
even more of success than the most ar
dent friends of the project had dared to
anticipate. The chapel was crowded and
the entertainment was one OF real merit
The costumes worn represented the styles
| OF generations ago, and attracted much at
tention Fl, ID. Hopkins made an ideal
old.time singing-master, and was an impor-
. tant factor in the success of undertaking
Mrs Lillian M. Baker presided at the piano
She was assisted by Ii. c. Holton, with
cornet, and I. r. Merrill, Jr., with bass
viol, The tunes belonged to the bygone
| days represented by the costumes, but were
none the less enjoyable because OF this.
+ Among the solos rendered were "Old
Folks at Home," by Mrs. ID. s. Wheatley,
and Cousin Jedediah," by C. ii. Shipman.
Master Archie Dewey, in Hail Columbia, Z"

Coming Through the Rye" violin and
piano, by Charlotte and Florence Shipman.

Ruth2" in costume, by Ruth Roleau and

, plauded, and in each case encOres were de-
, nanded and given. Esquire Banpied

would be marked success. The net re
!. ceipts OF the evening were nearly 800. An
old-fashioued supper, served from five t.
haf-past seven was literally patronized.
