For a week or 80 back the bears on the

that the Government crop report for

had digested the Government report,

RECENT DEATHS.

Mrs. Gertrude Collins Duntley died
at her home in Rochester, n. H.,
May 80, OF chronic bronchial
trouble. Concerning her life the
Rochester Courier said:
She was born in St. Johnsbury twenty
two years ago and came here with her
father, the late l. A. Collins, from Lynn,
nine years since. She attended school
here and graduated from the high school
in 1891. She then studied elocution
with Howard Malcolm Ticknor of Bos-
ton and as reader soon gained remark
able success, being widely known in this
section. She was married to Wilbur L.
Duntley Jan. +, 1898. Mrs. Duntley
was one of the brightest and most low
able young ladies that Rochester ever
knew and nobody in the city had more
friends. Her death was peculiarly sad
one. Up to two years ago she was ap-
parently in perfect health and her life
seemed full Of bright prospects. At that
time she was taken i'll with lung fever
which left her with the disease that
brought her life to so untirnely an end
The funeral services were held at
her residence on Friday afternoon.

INSTALLATION OF DIR. HEA tn.

The committee in charge of the in
the North church have arranged to
have the examination on the after
noon of Tuesday, July 10, with the
installation in the evening. Rev. Ed
ward T. Fairbanks has been invited
to give the right hand of fellowship,
Rev. DR.. Smith Baker of Boston the
charge to the pastor, and Rev. DR..
Capen of Boston the charge to the
people.
Dr.. Heath and family left St. Paul
last week and spent last Thursday
night in St. Johnsbury. They lett
Friday for Massachusetts and will
return here next week.
At the council of dismissal from
the Plymouth church in St. Paul
these resolutions Oh the part of the
church were read:
Resolved, That nothing but our be
lief that the same Divine Christ, great
head of the church, who, by his provi-
denCe and in answer to our united pray
ers. did five years ago give us DR.. Heath
to be our pastor, does now 1nysteriously
but clearly indicate his will that we sur
render him to the call of a sister church
for his own good and the good of the
cause; nothing but this view of the case
reconciles us to the separation, for these
five years have but increased our love for
him as our pastor and our admiration of
his ability fidelity and godliness as
man and as a minister. Therefore
Resolved, That as an act of obedience
to the Divine will we consent to his dis
missal and unite with him IN calling a
council to review our proceedings and
advise us in the premises, believing fully
that we shall have good reason to expect
the needed Divine aid and guidance to
keep us all loyal to the interests of Ply
mouth church and to unite us III due time
in the choice OF some suitable man as DR..
Heath successor.
1t was then voted that the action
taken by church and pastor regard
ing the dissolution be accepted and a
committee be appointed to adopt
resolutions on the matter.
During the committees absence
the meeting was entirely informal,
and MANY testimonials were given
regarding the good works accom-
plished by DR.. Heath during his resi-
dence in St. Paul, and the sorrow all
felt at his contemplated departure.
Resolutions of regret were then
read by DR.. Merrill, after which DR..
Heath spoke at some length, re-
viewing his pastorate at Plymouth
church, his pleasurable reception by
its members and his brethren in the
ministry, and the effort it cost him
to sunder the many ties which bound
him to church and people.

The offer made by Paine's furniture
Co., 43 Canal ST., Boston, which is the
largest retail furniture house in the
United States, to deliver furniture,
freight prepaid, to any town in New
England during the next three months,
is a great opportunity for our readers to
save money and secure the finest furni-
ture that is made. Remember that any
we'll made furniture ought properly to
last lifetime, and as you will have to
live with it constantly, it is very i'm
portant matter that it should be wisely
selected, both as to its comfort, size,
shape, convenience aud beauty. Paine's
is strictly one price, and one can save
more than the car fare to Boston by the
low prices charged by this house.

STOLE 4 TEAM.

Albert Woodward of Danville
came to St. Johnsbury Tuesday
morning to recover a horse which
was stolen from him last Friday.
The two Badger boys Of Hard wick
hired a team of him and drove it
around the county and finally
brought it to St. Johnsbury Monday.
They left it at the Cottage Hotel
with the instructions not to feed the
horse, but never came after it.
The two men took the train for
Portland Monday afternoon. Be-
fore leaving St. Johnsbury they rails
ed $3.50 here on the bank book of a
relative, Isaac Sawtell of Hardwick.
1t is supposed they forged the name
OF Mr. Sawtell on the order, as MIR.
Sawtell telegraphed Woodward
Monday that the Badgers had stolen
his bank book and advised Wood
ward to look out for his horse
To tell the sequel briefly, Sheriff
Sulloway did a clever bit of work
last night, capturing the two Bad
gers at West Concord, securing a
confession of the forgery and theft,
and getting back about $50 Of the
money.

A HOTEL CHANGE.

Negotiations are now in progress
looking to the sale of the St. Johns
bury House to a stock company.
Mr.. Howe has named his price, it
has been accepted by the other party
to the negotiation, and it seems
probable now that the matter will
be successfully arranged by Saturday
of this week.
An effort is being made to secure
takers of stock for the purchase Of
the hotel property, and the idea is
to have the merchants and other
business men on the Plain subscribe
to reasonable extent and thus deep
en- their interest in the maintenance
of a good hotel in this part OF the
village. II the business men respond
to this opportunity the success of
the scheme will be assured. There is
no question about the desirability of
hotel facilities on the Plain, and
there should be no failure in the COM
pletion of the trade thus spiciously
begun.
