ors in and About the City.

The Worcester Daily Telegram tells of
an enjoyable gathering of the "Sons and
Daughters of Vermont" of whom there are
about 5000 in that city, last week Tues
day. 1t says: THE Worcester Sons and
Daughters of Vermont have openly renew
ed their allegiance to the Green Mountain
State for tho goth time. Often enough
their thoughts go back to the State of their
birth, young manhood and womauhood-it
is only once year that they review to-
gether the past and discuss the present as
related to their native State. Such an &C.
casion was the reunion in Horticultural
hall.
A substantial banquet was served in the
upper hall, at 1870 O'Clock. The tables com
pietely covered the floor and the guests COM
pletey surrounded the tables. the latter

W. Watkins right was seated Mayor Henry

expected that Gov. Levi X. Fuller of Yer
mont would be present but en- engagement
to attend the reunion of the Brooklyn So
| ciety prevented his presence here.

read. President Watkins spoke in part as
| follows;
''Sons aud daughters of Vermont, and
invited guests: | welcome you with all the
privilege and hospitality that ever cnarac-
terlzed true Nermonter. 1t has been said
that man could travel from Canada line

cent in his pocket, and sleep in a feather
bed every night, and eat hot buckwheat
cakes for his breakfast. The hospitality OF
Vermont is subject of common remark

con this, our Goth anniversary, we wish
! to renew and cement closer to-
gether, our friendship and acquaintance
with each other. In the city and State OF
our adoption, it is meet that once year we
forget our other ana secular duties, and

Secretary Of State B-ownel and State
Treasurer Field, in their capacity as State
insurance commissioners made an examipa-
ton OF the Vermont Life Insurance COM
pnuy of this city and the National Life In
surance company of Montpelier last week
and they found both companies in an excel
lent condition. Each has q good surplus SO
far as policy holders are concerned and tho
indications are that they have closed the
most successful year in business since their
organization. Vermont has reason to be
proud of these two State institutions, which
have been managed with such ability and
skill.
Nermont's FIRE insurance companies are
also in a flourishng condition. The late
move of the New England Fire Insurance
association, requiring parties to insure their
property up to so per cent of its value, Is
creating much dissatisfaction, and some of
the prominent men Of the State are talking
that it may lead to tho adoption OF a valued
policy law, if not to the formation of a me-
mutual company in this State. The YER
mont companies, together with number OF
mutual companies from other States are
noI reached ny luis new OTuer OF tnlnRS
and SO are reaping harvest, being called
on to carry all the insurance that they can
possibly take care Of
Generally speaking the past year has been
very favorable one for fire insurance COM
pauies in Vermont es compared with last
year. which was an unusually severe one
for the companies. The list Of large frss in
the State included the st. Adams
and Middlebury contlagrations, be-
side a number OF destructive single
fires, but the principal loss for the
companies In the State during the year just
closed resulted from the recent fire in ST..
Johnsbury. Vermont's insurance interests
seem to be in a very satisfactory condition,
in spite Of the fact that a comparatively
few companies of other States find it UNI
profitable to do business within its borders,
and it is gratifying fact that the outlook
for the coming year is regarded as exceed
ingly favorable.

Death of ex.President HAYES.

The intelligence of tho death of ex-Presi-
den Rutherford h. Hayes came upon the
country like an electric shock, SO unprepered
WAS the public therefor. His Illness had
barely boeu announced when the telegraph
flashed the news Of his death over the coun-
try, thus calling upon Americans once NOR 9
to n ourn tire loss Of one of their prominent
men. While Mr.. Hayes was not distinct
lively a great man, he possessed one OF the
essential elements Of greatness in an exocu-
tive. His administration may not have
bsen great, but he succeeded in calling
about him one Of the strongest cabinets es-
sembled by an American president, and his
government wes clean and efficient. His
administr alton was creditable and disni6ed
and it commanded the highest respect Of
friendly foreign powers.
1t wa. unfortunate for President Hayes
that his inauguration was preceded by one
of the most bitter political controversies in
tho history of the nation, and his entire ad-
minist-aticn was handicapped and his repu-
tatioD as president seriously detracted from
by its results. About this time, also, the
division OF the republican party into stall
warts and sntistslwsrts occurred, and this
breach materially interiered with the success
OF his administration, so far as popular plaud-
its are concerned. What no would have been
able to accomplish under different circum-
stances eau, Of course, only be surmised,
but he served his country conscientiously
and we'll. Since his retirement he has dis.
tinctly gained in public estimation as q
man and his death is sincerely mourned by
large share of the American people.
