from that day to this.
The names of the first board Of
trustees were:
Alexander Harvey, James White
law, Josias Lyndon Arnold. David
Goodwill, Daniel Cahoon, Horace
Beardsley, William Chamberlain,
Benjamin Sias and Jacob Davis.
These were true and trial men, a
tower of strength in any generation.
The pecuniary sacrifices of those
wEo founded this institution must
have been something surprising. The
state gave the land, the income from
which, at a low rental, was to be
applied to the running expenses of
the school, while the building was to
be erected and other expenses borne
almost entirely by the town. Peach
am also pledged the salary of the
principal for the first three years,
$333.33. At that time this was no
insignificant sum. The tuition was
then free to all pupils in the county
and only twenty-five cents per quar-
ter to all outside the county.
As the church seemed almost di-
vinely inspired in securing Leonard
Worcester, their eightieth candidate,
as their pastor, so the school was
equally fortunate in securing Ezra
Carter as its first %preceptor. Able,
enthusiastic, devoted to his work,

lated some "reminiscences Of Father
Worcester. Continuing he said,
when we go to that cemetery,
where are the graves OF the three
first pastors, who SO moulded this
community, and the monument of
the brave men, AZ in number, that
gave their lives for our country, we
see the kind of work that has been
done in this town. Long may God
keep alive the hill towns of New Eng

hood and noble womanhood are
trained to do their work in the great
cities. May God long preserve the
same institutions and the same in
huences that have moulded this com
munity in the century that has
past"
Prfn. Bunker's Address.
The speaker maintained at the out
set. that "blood always tells" and
that the facts we today call to mind
60 to prove the truth Of the old saw,
"Well begun is half done" After re-
ferring to the noble and unselfsh
work of our forefathers in founding
the government, and establishing
the church and the school, Prof.
Bunker said:
"The Peacham Congregational
church had been established but one
year when a charter was granted by
the legislature OF Vermont, founding
the Caledonia County Grammar
School, and in 1897, three
years after the church was organic
ed, the school started and has been,
since that time, in continual opera
ton.
To regulate the heart and disci-
pline the mind were the cardinal
ideas of the trainers of Peacham So
ciety, and that is the reason the pres
ent generation al So truthfully sing
the praises of the past one hundred
years.
The c. c. 6. S., or Peacham Acad-
envy as it is generally called, was es-
tablished to meet the wants of a
formative period of society, and was
one OF the first, if not the first, of the
county schools endowed by the state
with grants of land for school pur-
poses. 1t, probably, is the last that
remains distinct as originally design
ed by the state legislature. 1t is not
surprising that it was so eminently
successful at first, as for many years
there were few similar institutions
in the state. Still we see, in this
period, what the right kind of blood
can accomplish. The incorporators
and first board of trustees were men
who were willing to make great
sacrifices in their day that coming
generations might reap the fruits of
their labors.
When the church assembled in the
Academy building to worship God,
it did until the erection of the first
church edifce in 1906, it seemed to
set Gods seal upon this school and,
call it daughter or sister as you will,
the relationship of the two has been
exceedingly close. The life-throbs of

A HASTY CRITIC.

We have little reason to expect fair
criticism of the American people or
American affairs from the London
Times. That journal has ever been per-
sistent and impla cable in its enmity to
everything that is American. During
our Civil War it was in open sympathy
with the cause of the Confederacy, and
to its malign influence was largely due
the eguiv0cal attitude of the British
government during that struggle. Since
that time its men dacity has been fire.

the watch for opportunities to criticise

stretch the opportunity SO as to give it

LA Belle Marie" Opening at the

y villain introduced, girl wronged
and father murdered were the princi-
pal events that were brought into the
first act of La Belle Marie" at the
Grand last evening. The following
Jour acts told the story of how the
wronged gill. Jean Ingleside, became
rich by the sudden success of one of
her fathers inventions, went to the city
and by system, peculiar to women adj
venturesses ION the STAGE, manipulated
the stock market so as to ruin the man
who had betrayed her. By the aid of
several characters that have been quite
cleverly woven into the plot. the bad
man receives just retribution for all his
sins. the brother who has been driven
away from home (oeing accused of theft
by his father is restored to his family,
aud everything ends well.
Miss Agnes Herndon. who is seen in
the title role. was suffering severely
from cold, and in the first two acts
was not at her best. But in the fourth
and fifth acts her impersonation of
Marie Dubois. the scheming French ad-
ventures, was magnificent.
In this act she shows how it is pos
sibie for a woman to weave network
around man so secure that she can
play with him like child. securing his
money and curses with but change of
expression. And very adroitlv did Miss
HerndOn act this part. g

OF George Leighton, the bad man of the
play, did as well as it is possible for a

And purple robes and riches;
But must tuue the trembling strings
To a lay of birch-bark breeches.

You know the man | speak of;
For all the people there will chin
His humor and his cheek of.
The cranks and quips slip off his lips
Like sparks from off the Smithy;
His tongue with true Joe Miller drips,
And phrases pert and pithy.
His beauteous legs with pts with pegsl
OF birch bark are surrounded;
Their pleading, gracile sweetness begs
You Will not be astounded.
If from his pts you'll kindly glance,
Not far, up to his mazzard,
You'll see he is not great by chance,
Or fortunate by hazard.
That head is small, but think Of all
The stuff that there is in it;
The man is short, the brain is tail,
And naught can stand agin il.
For Jadam Bede was born to lead,
And that is why he's leading:

That never knows receding.
So fly and perk in all his work.
And fresher than blizzard.

With no false start or bitches;

Our esteemed neighbor, the Tribune.
Is mistaken in saying that the extension

concerned, strange as it may seem, in
securing all increase of the tax 20 cepts

age. but is sold as soon after making as
possible. 1t is the whisky distilIers
whose product increases in value with
age who want the extension. The ex-
tension will make no material difference
in the revenue, and will only have the
effect to save the distllers from doing
as they now do. take their whisky out
of bond before the tax becomes due and
ship it abroad, bringing it back here
when needed for consumption, and paw
ing the tax then. THIS, of course.
