AT THE CHURCHES.

Last Sabbath was Memorial sun
dav and Union services were held al
the Baptist church and was attended
by the members Of Huohe Post and
Women's Relief Corps, III 4 body,
and by a large number OF oui citizens
The interior of the church was tastllN
decorated with flags and the chancel
laden with the choicest flowers. The
pastor, Rev. N. A. Wood, took for
his text the third verse of the second
chapter of the second Epistle of Paul
to Timothy. An epitome OF the dis
course here follows
1t has been said that out of the adverse
circumstances of life and the natural en-
vironments, unpromising though they may
have been, have come forth the most il
lustrious statesmen and philosophers of
the 10Th century. The surroundings of
birth and early life, the hard struggle for
the ulcdnS VI SuSlcustHNt' anu tnC iCsi
hardship encountered in the effort to rise
above these circumstances by ones own
indomitabie pluck and energy has only
caused the diamond, as it were, to shine
forth with more resplendent lustre. As
when the pebble, cast up by the incom-
ing tide, and constantly bufeted by every
wave, becomes at last by its action mooih
and glistening aud fdif 10 zoos ugon, so
out of the many and varied expeI cnces,
in which have come, perchance, many
hard and grieyous yet profitable lessons,
comes forth the life fitted TO give help
and encouragement to others. out of an
experience varied indeed and peculiar in
many ways the Apostle Paul writes to
Timothy, then a young man, with The ex-
hortation that he endure hardships as a
good soldier of Jesus Christ. The figure
of a soldier is often usei by the Apostle
in writing to signify courage, or forti-
tude, or bravery, characteristic of the
soldier on the field of battle. Now if
were to ask what hardship meant, no
doubt these veterans whom see here be-
fore me and who, in defense of their

Its coming. Mr.. Alexander tells us
that he has bought dynamo, to be
shipped next week. Wires and lamps
will follow. 1t is expected that the
plant will be in operation by the
fourth of July. If this can be done
a big dancing pavilion will be erected
opposite the Peabody House, and
we'll have the biggest moonlight dance
by electricity ever seen in Vermont.
That's the way to do it. Why, you

There is no use in sitting in the dark
when the earth, the air and the
heavens are full of light. Hurrah for
Alexander and the electric light!

The want of Il foot bridge across
the.river about midway of the village
was keenly felt on Tuesday. Many
who were within few rods OF the
railroad accident and felt great anx-
iety to know the full results were
obliged to walk half mile To reach
the scene Of the disaster BY the way
can We not have a foot bridge? The
cost would not be great. If some one

OFF THE TRACK.
The Mixed Train Leaves the Track Before
Leaving the Village-TwO Cars go
down the bank-MiraculOus Es-
cape of Passengers and Train

Men.
The mixed train which left the
South Londonderry depot Tuesday at
:15, in charge of conductor Hayes,
Robert Ross, engineer, consisting of
engine and tender, one box car load
ed with lumber and chair backs and
a combination car for passengers and
baggage, left the track when opposite
the residence of Harry Bostwick- the
Julia Hunting place-an6 before the
train could be stopped the passenger
and freight car toppled over and went
down four feet embankment, both
cars striking upon their sides. The
heavy freight car pulled off, also, the
tender but the coupling connecting it
with the engine held and it did not
60 over, though left standing at an
angle of forty-ive degrees which
pretty well cleared it of wood and
water. In the combination Car were
six persons, three passengers, FL. S.
Kingsbury of this place and two
strangers whose names we are unable
to obtain, roadmaster Beeman, con-
ductor Hayes; and bfakemaE Bert
Ross, while brakeman Lyle Carpenter
was on the forward platform. Ross
and Carpenter jumped as the car went
over, the former, through necessity,
on the lower side, and barely escaped
the on-coming car. Carpenter leaped
from the upper side but wrenched one
leg somewhat. The three passengers
and the conductor and roadmastel
went over with the car without injury
worth speaking of. Their escape
seems almost miraculous.
The cause of the accident is un.
known. There was no dlscoverable
defect in the tract. The freight car
which was heavily loaded and some.
what top heavy, first left the track
and this did all the mischief. Work
was commenced at once to restore or.
der, and in short time the tender
was righted and the track restored Sc
that the engine could be backed up
About four o'clock wrecling trair
arrived from Brattleboro and th'
work was taken up with such cnerg,
that little after seven the passen
ger car was run into the depot to bt
followed about ten by the freigh
car.
The pecuniary damage to the com
pany was comparatively light, the in
jury to the cars being much less thai
would ordinarily occur in such q case

names of - voters being entered on the
books. OF these so were white and IL
colored. The colored registration is ex-
pected to fall about 800 short of what it
was two years ago, while the white regis
tratiOn will be two or three hundred
heavier. The total registration this
year will hardly go over 900, which will
he about 800 short Of what it was two
years ago.

SERGEANT PosTELL THE WIN.
NER.
He Carries Of the Hussars' Troop
Medal in the Prize Shoot,

Medal in the Prize Shoot.
The wind up of the Hussars annual
prize shoot took place at Wheelmen's
park yesterday afternoon when Lieut..
Minis and Private Richmond made strong
efforts to take the troop medal away from
Sergeant D. G. Postell.
Sergt. Postell's score made the dav be-
fore was n on the four ranges at 200, 800
800 and 800 yards, shooting five shots at
each target Private c. S. Richmond
came second with a score of rs, he having
made Is points on the 600-yard range
Lieut.. A. Minis made as on the four
ranges, but his score was only IA on the
60O-yard range, which gives him third
place in the troop. The result of this
contest is that Sergt Postell will wear
the troop medal for the third successive
year, he having won it over all cOmpeti-
tors for the three years.
The shooting this year was above all
averages ever made by the troop. Out Of
thirty-one enlisted men who fired twenty
three qualified, that is made high enough
scores on the 200 and 800 yard ranges to
allow them to go on to the long ranges.
OF those firing 76 per cent. qualified,
making an average score of 3415 per man
The men used the regulation Springfield
cavalry carbine without the handicap,
which is II points in 80 shots. The scores
made speak well for the troop which CON
tains some of the best shots in the south.
