FURNISHING THE WEATHER.

Postmaster Randall inaugurates
this week most useful scheme for
supplying this entire community
with daily reports and predictions
from the government weather bureau
at Boston. He will receive each day
about II O'Clock dispatch from
Boston predicting the weather for
the next day. This dispatch will be
sent to from rs to 100 villages in
this vicinity on the afternoon
mails and bulletined by the country
postmaster upon the arrival of the
mails. All the post offices in Gale
donia county and most OF those in
Essex and Orleans counties will be
supplied with these reports. This
plan has been very successful in
Maine and there is no doubt of its
success in this community. st. Johns
bury is the first office in the state to
have these reports. 1t will be oil
great benefit to the farmers to get
daily weather predictions.

CAN RAISE WHEAT.

Jonathan Huntley Of st. Johnsbury
Center, who returned from the West
last year. claims that the farmers of
the East car raise wheat if they will
90 at it in the right way, and he
backs up his claim by sending to
this office a fine sample of what st.
Iohnsbury Center soil can do in the
wheat line. The specimen bunch re-
ferred to is fully headed out, has
weight and firmness and is exceed
ingly promising in every respect.
Mr.. Huntley did not get here in sea-
sen last year to attend to wheat
crop, but seems to have had splendid
luck this season. His success this
year will doubtless encourage Others
in that section to try their luck with
wheat-a crop with which this state
as a whole has little to do.

There was a railroad accident at
the lower end of the yard at St.
Johnsbury Tuesday noon, whereby
the caboose Of one freight was
smashed and engine 400, the old
Captain" Of the Lake road, badly
demoralized. The freight train from
Hyde Park was coming into the
yard and the proper signals had been
hoisted for a clear track. lust as
the train was coming up the track a
Passumpsic freight backed down up
on the incoming train. The Lake
road engineer reversed his engine
and had almost stopped his train
before the crash came. The Pas
sumpsic freight was to blame for
not protecting the rear of its train.

A New Game Fowl.

Chas. S. Hayden, the game fowl breed
er of Raymond, has just added to his
stock atrio of pure bred Areels. This
is the native race of pit fowls which from
prehistoric times have been bred and
fought by the raiahs and mobiles OF
Northern India.
Areels breed nearly all colors, from
pure white to solid black, although the
grays, dark reds and blacks are consid-
cred the best pit birds in their native
home. Cocks weigh from five to seven
pounds each. So great is their value in
their native home that e25, or $125, has
been refused for a single egg from cele-
brated hen.
Had it not been that few have been
presented from time to time to English
officers, the breed would have been i'm
possible to obtain, as they are never sold
by their wealthy owners.

Dutch Charlie Finally Free,

There is no prospect that Kirchner,
otherwise known as ssDutch Charlie, y
will be brought here from Lynn to
answer to the charge of having assisted
Irving in the Gorham burglary. He was
finally released by the authorities of
Lynn yesterday morning. There is some
reason for believing that Kirchner was
actually concerned in the break at Cor
ham. Irving said he was, and it was
Irving's statement which set the Port
land police after him. Mr.. Isaac Han
son of Gorham, went up to Lynn and
was quite sure Kirchner was the Cor
ham man. Mrs. Robb, of the Chase
house, also went up, but did not identify
him satisfactorily. The Portland police
felt that under the circumstances that
they would not ask for extradition. The
matter was then turned over to the
United States marshal, but he also did
not find ground for acting.

call of the Congregational church at
Woodfords was held Tuesday evening.
The total membership is 2S4; of this
number 212 reported at the annual meet
ing either in person or special message,
174 being present. Reports from all de-
partments of church work were given at
the close of a bountiful supper at which
all were seated. Home expenses were
reported as $500, and benevolences over
1920. About S25OO additional has been
paid on the debt incurred in rebuilding,
and this has been done by small gifts
and no special effort. This church now
elects the officers of the Sunday school
and Mr.. H. H. Nevens was reelected to
this Office.

Single Speech Men.

Once in awhile some hitherto unknown
bard touches the harp with the fingers of
a master and thereafter is secure of fame
if not Of fortune. English history tells
of the oratory of Fox, Of Chatham, OF
Pitt, of Gladstone and of Disraeli, but
they were SO diffuse that shining out be-
yond their efforts remains the memory
historic, of course-of the magnificent
appeal made in the house of commons by
a man who is called to this day Single
Speech Hamilton" The hour had come;
he knew what to say; he said it, and
thereafter he was silent. Proctor Knott
talked much while in congress, but he
only made one speech that was about
Duluth, the Zenith City of the Unsalted
Seas" The address is still famous and
q classic in American oratory.

Talnage.

The Union Era says: Mr.. Talmage has
proved that he eau gather a regular Sab
bath congregation of 5000 hearers, and
that he can make himself effectively
heard by that number of people. He is
one oflthose preachers who really belong
to mankind at large. Most people who
try to describe DR.. Talmage begin by say
ing that he is like somebody or unlike
somebody else. Now, the fact is that he
is not like any other person at all. He
is Just "Talmage" all over, with as much
marked individuality as evsr was con-
centrated in any one man.
Mr.. Talmage will be heard in the sixth
Stockbridge, next Thursday, at City
Hall.
