A womau.s Gift to Philadelphia.

Mrs. George w. Carpenter of Phila-
delphia has presented to the Academy
of Natural Science, of that city, the
fine collection of birds, minerals and
fossils which was the life work of her
husband. He died many years ago,
and the collection has until now been
preserved in building erected for
that purpose on Mrs. Carpenters es'
tate, in Germantown. Among the
rarities of the collection is said to be a
specimen of the Labrador duck, which
has become extinct since 1850. NJ S.

freddy Gebhardt's tiancee,

Since Miss Morris debut, three years
ago, she has Eeen one of the bellies of
her native Baltimore. A-peculiarity A
of Miss Morris beauty, teficed often
in private life although not heralded
abroad, is her likeness to Mrs. Lang
try. Indeed the young lady's own
family have been heard to speak of
this resemblance before she ever
met Mr.. Gebhardt. But Miss
N orris is shorter and rounder. She
has, however. beautifully shaped
shoulders of ivory whiteness, and the
classic carriage of the heal and general
outline of features which distinguished
Mrs Lang ry. Her eyes, too, are like
the Lily's in color. setting and express
sion, aud her hair is of the same shade
o chestnut that crowned the English
beauty when she first appeared in
America. The mouth is different;
Miss Morris is more delicate in its
lines and more frank and girlish in ex-
preston. The Baltimore balle is, al
together, a splendid specimen OF
physical beauty.

DANDELION COMPOUND.

The Bagley Dandelion Company
have done steady business during
the summer and are getting ready
for considerable fall advertising.
Their trademark, Bagley Dandelion
compound, has been copyrighted,
which gives them the sole use of the
name. The company will have an
exhibit at all the county fairs in this
vicinity and give away free samples
of their medicine. They have rented
three rooms in the second story OF
the Merchants Bank block for their
laboratory and Offices and will be
ready to push their sales just as soon
as the building is completed. The
stock in the concern is all held by St.
Johnsbury citizens who have no rea-
son to be ashamed of the company's
success so far.

NEW PENSION BOARD.

The "powers that be" at Washing
ton have decided upon the county
board of pension examiners and the
board will be Drs. G. B. Bullard and
H. S. Browne of St. Johnsbury and
w. c. Blake of Lyndon. The first
two are members of the old board
and the politics of the board is di-
vided, DR.. Bullard being a republi-
can and the other two democrats.
This announcement will be quite a
surprise to the county democracy
and will cause considerable indigna-
ton. The county democrats recon-
mended three doctors from their own
party and an entire new board.
Only one of their candidates has
been accepted, DR.. Blake, and two of
the old board will be retained Some
of the democrats were in favor of
having one republican on the board
and they wrote to Washington and
suggested that one of St. Johnsbury' S
younger doctors be appointed.
Evidently their wishes were disre-
garded.

FISH PROSECUTION.

A civil suit was brought before
Justice Worcester Saturday by the
Caledonia Trout Club against Ell
bert D. Howe, who was charged
with trespassing, catching fish, and,
lastly, catching fish otherwise than
by hook. W. P. Stafford appeared
for the plaintiffs and H. c. lde for
the defendant. The plaintiffs own
an artificial pond in Waterford
which has been stocked the past
three years with trout, Evidence
was produced showing that the de-
fendant had taken fish from the pond
and that he gave some to his friends.
These fish bore marks of mutilation
and evidence was introduced show
ing that members of the club had
found dead fish in the pond similarly
mutiated. All the fish in question
were handsome specimens weighing
from one to- two and oue-halfpounds.
The defendant claimed that he
caught his fish in the Hovey brook
which runs into Stiles pond and that
the mutiations were made in dress
ing the fish. Judgment was rendered
against the defendant for $40 with
costs of trial, An appeal was taken
to the county court.
The club have long been aware that
other persons were getting the bene-
fits Of their pond and brought this
suit as test case. Now that they
have won the case more prosecutions
are likely to follow.
This is the first case of the kind
ever brought into the courts in this
vicinity. Violations Of the fish and
game laws have been frequent and
the decision in this case will have a
salutary effect on the law breakers.
1t is high time that more attention
was paid to keeping these laws.

several rehearsals together, and the

CALEDONIA COUNTY FAIR.

The 46th annual county fair will
be held at St. Johnsbury on Sept. II,
13 and IA and all indications point
to large and successful gathering.
Several notable improvements have
been made on the grounds and an ex-
tensive addition has been made to
the horse department, which in the
last few years has grown to be one
of the largest departments of the
whole exhibitions. With a new SUI
perintendent of horses, J. c. Under
wood, and the additions for exhi-
biting them, the display in this de-
partment ought to excel all previous
years. The exhibit of poultry will
also surpass all past exhibitions.
For an outside attraction Secre-
tary Johnson has engaged the trot-
ting dog Jack and a running pony.
The dog is hitched into bicycle sui
ky, driven by boy, and trots
around the track at as steady gait as
Nellie F or Nancy Hanks. Moreover,
Jack can trot faster than the pony
can run and always wins the race.
This combination will be exhibited
each day of the fair and has won
great praise wherever it has appear
ed. At Stanstead it was the great
est attraction of the fair.
The Caledonia County fair is an
exhibition in which every one should
take pride in making it an exhibition
in which every one should take pride
in making it success. All entries
should be made at once to N. M.
Johnson, secretary, to whom all in
quiries concerning the fair should be
addressed.

terfered with this meeting, as the
sermon was an excellent one and
was listened to with attention.
Friday morning, after the usual
prayer meetings in the tents, the au-
dience listened to Rev. H. A. Spencer,
the newly appointed financial agent
of the Vermont Methodist Seminary.
He talked little about the school and
offered to answer any questions
which any one might wish to ask him
with reference to it. He preached
both forenoon and afternoon taking
for text in the morning II. Cor. X:
81, and in the afternoon Romans xiv:
-. Friday evening the rain again
somewhat disturbed the congrega-
ton, but those who remained heard
fine sermon by Rev. w. S. Smithers
of st. Johnsbury, after which the
congregation separated to attend
the prayer meetings in four or five of
the tents.
Saturday morning Rev. c. P. Tap
lin preached from Matt. tx: SO, 81,
3S, and in the afternoon Rev. c. w.
Gushing of Batavia, N. Y, spoke

throughout the day were of uncom-
mon interest, and as the day was
fine great number were present.

by, president of the National Train
ing School at Washington, D.C.,wa
on the stand and both he and Mrs.
DaIby gave some account of the

explained the object of the Lucy
Webb Hayes Bible and Training
School and the Deaconess Home in
that city.
Sunday morning was clear and
bright and the usual campmeeting
love feast was held at the stand at
8 O'Clock aud as the audience in
creased rapidly several hundred peo-
pie took part in the exercises. At
10 O'Clock DR.. Dalby preached from
Heb. iv: 2 and at 2 p. m. Rev. c. S.
Deeprose of Sawyerville, Canada,
preached from Matt. xvii: %.
The campmeeting closed in the
evening and is considered by all as
the most successful that has been held
on the ground for many years.

buildings and sheds have been thor

the grounds and track placed in first
class condition. Favorable replies
have been received from the judges
in the different departments; and
exhibitors will be glad to learn that
such experts as William Crozier of
Long Island, N. Y, the celebrated
Jersey man, and |, Felch of Natick,
Mass, whose wide reputation as a
poultry expert is so fully acknowl-
edged, have consented to be present
and act as judges. All the entries
relarger this year at this date than
they have been any year since the Do
minion Exhibition. The main build
ing will be we'll filled with large and
attractive exhibit. The cheap rates
and excursions have now been fixed
by the different railways, as will ap-
pear by the special railway advertise
ments. The Grand Trunk, Cana
dian Pacific, and the Quebec Central
railways will run the excursions and
rates as last year. The prospects
have never been better since the or
ganization of this association for

lie will do well to take advantage of
the opportunity to visit Sherbrooke
and the popular townships fair on
one or all three days of the exhibi-
ton.
