The list of sixty questions on Yer
mont prepared by the superintendent

among the pupils of the village school.
The design of this list of questions is
to create an appetite for Vermont his
tory, the set of histories offered as a
prize to the contestants helps matters
along. We will give the list of ques-

ceipt of correct answers to the same.

Some women asked your correspOn-
dent about an item in the Newbury
column last week, referring to the
Lord sending a man into this village
to do aims, asking whether the item
intended to slur the poor families, or
the Lord sent benefactor. How in the
name of reason any one could be sim
pie enough to cOnstrue that item into
nv Of q G Inn
comprehend. Not much. We intend
ed to convey doubt if the Lord sent,
or would send anyone to do aims to
certain needy ones and not give his
messenger christian heroism enough
to go direct to the needy ones and un-
load himself or herself of whatever
commodity he or she had to disburse
whether sunshine, kind words, or solid
grub. A great many things in this
world are credited to the Lord that
belong in the other catalogue. Any
one who claims he is the Masters mes
senger whose acts are inconsistent with
the Masters way of doing business is
an imposter, and Its no slur TO say SO.
