In Honor of Mr.. A. II. BpedIe.

Friday evening, the Cong'l choir re.
hearsal resolved itself, unexpectedly al
least to the chorister, Mr.. A. H. Beedle
into surprise party. Friends to the nun
Der OF 150 or more trooped into his resi-
dence on Randolph avenue, and, meeting
with no opposition from their dumb.
founded host, proceeded to unfold to his
astonished eyes their order OF exercises
for the evening
Solos were sung by different members
OF the choir, and prayer was offered by
Rev. V. M. Hardy, after which ali those
unsteady inclined lifted up their voices
and, to the tune Of "Auld Lang Syne.
sang the following stanzas, ritten by
Mr.. Hardy for the occasion
We come, we come, from near and far.
And gathe here with praise,
That we may bring our common friend
A tribute OF past days.
When hearts were sad and heads were
bowed,
His songs have brought us cheer
Both in Gods house. as in our homes.
through many, many year.
This Offering from our hands accept
AS token Of our love;
dod grant US many meeting here,
AND one for aye, above.
During the singing of the last stanza.
which took the place OF presentation
speech, Mr.. Hardy handed Mr.. Beedle an
envelope containing over $4O--a gift in
tended by the latter's many admirers as
slight token OF appreciation OF his twenty
years service in the Cong'l choir. and of
his uniform kindness in responding to the
numerous calls made upon him on sad as
well as joyful occasions.
refreshments Of cake and coffee were
produced by the invaders, and after q
short period OF mingled chat and laup liter
the guests departed, leaving Mr.. Beedle

A Second Herd Tested.

The herd OF nineteen cows, owned by
Mr.. e. l.. hass, was tested last week
Wednesday by Hon. V. /. Spear and Hon.
ture, assisted by the veterinary surgeon,
F. A. Rich OF Burlington.
Turee Of the cows, appraised at $50 each,
proved to be affected, and on being slaugh-
Tered, were found to be badly diseased.
Mr.. Bass did not expect that more than
one or two OF the nerd were at all affected,
hut expressed himself as well pleased al
the way in which the test had been con-
Quoted, and as more than satisfied in
knowing that his cows are at present free
from any suspicion of tuberculosis.
From here, the examiners went to Beth
ell, where in one herd they found five out
OF fourteen animals to De affected. Some
time next month, Mr.. Allen Priest will
have his cows tested, and it is hoped by
those who buy milk and butter that many
others will follow his example.

Free Tuition.

Free IultlOn.
A gentleman OF Granville writes his OBJ
lection to an Interpretation of the new
school law which appeared In last weeks
issue Of the HERALD. Doubtless he is
correct in his Interpretation; but one
tbing-yea, two things--are certain. The
law says that the school directors "shall
provide for the instruction Of advanced
pupils of school age in the higher branch
es OF English in the graded Soho Dis OF the
town district. When no such schools ex-
ist in the town, then such pups shall be
provided for in the high schools, acade-
mics or seminaries of the town, and II no
such schools exist in said town, said board
may provide such instruction for such
pupils in those of some other town."
First, they shall provide higher instruc-
ton II it is to be had in their town, and
second, il it is not to be had there, they
may provide it in some other town. Per-
haps "may" does not mean "shall," but it
is evidently the intention OF the law that
advanced pupils should be given by the
school directors an opportunity to con-
tinue their education.

H. W. Smith Dead.

The sudden death OF Mr.. Hethbert w
Smith on Monday about midnight was a
great shock to his many friends in this
village. He was taken Sunday night with
congestion OF the brain and so soon passed
away at the age Of tifty-one. Mr.Smith was
genial, pleasant man who carried sun
shine about with him; generous and kind
hearted, fond OF little children and the
enemy of no one. He will be missed by
many who valued his friendship, and his
loss will be felt, outside of his own strick
en- home, ny multitude OF friends and
acquaintances.
Apparently in his usual health, he went
by train to Windsor last Thursday morn
ing and drove team back from there, ar
irving home the next day. And now he
is gone on Journey to which there Is no
return. "Hessn Smith will be remem-
bered and lamented by those who appre-
ciate good hearted man. The funeral
will be held to. morrow friday after
noon at 2 o'clock in the Cong'l church,
the Rev. s. A. Parker OF Bethel, assisted
by Rev. V. M. Hardy, officiating. Phoe-
nix Lodge, No. IS, f. & A. NJ, will have
the Masonic service at the close Of the ex-
ercises in the church, and it is expected
that Mount Zion Commandery OF Mont.
pelier will act as escort.

A Runaway.

A Runaway.
A handsome sorrel horse with his tai
in Physche knot, la mode, ran up Ma
ME street about Ave O'Clock one afternoon
without any driver. -
As he neared the Main street corner, ne
was stopped by two men who were en-
gagged 10 working up wood for Mr.. =. d.
Brooks, and one OF them jumping in drove
back to look for the owner.
The horse had been driven by two ladies',
who. in trying to turn around IN front O.
Mr.. Charles Briggs on Prospect avenue,
tipped over, spllling themselves out ana
giving their quadruped his freedom.
No damage was done, and after Inc cap
ture, the ladies drove nome as tnough
nothing had happened.

Educational Meeting.

State Superintendent M. s. Stone, like {
newly arisen Coxey, is marching through
the state with an army of book agents in
his wake. Monday, they reached Yves,
Randolph and, as no grass was visible
encamped in the G. A. r. hall, where they
were met by the school directors of this
and surrounding towns.
The directors numbered twelve, and the
| book agents Twenty-Five; but despite the
| disparity in numbers, the courageous doz
en- massed themselves In one corner OF the
hall and faced the "chin music" valiantly,
There were present j. B. Adams, Il. H.
Bass and VIM. Hebard of the Randolnh
board, A. H. Beedle OF the graded school
board, j. D. Laport OF Braintree, Jonn
Untiedt and Mr.. Bigelow of brookfield,
Alonzo Emery OF Bethel, l. r. Hubbard
W. M. Pember and Calvin Morse OF Roch-
ester.
The morning was spent in listening to
the representatives Of the various publish
ing houses, who we're allowed to enter one
at time and descant upon the excellences
OF the line OF text books which they carry.
They each announced their intention Of
calling upon the directors at their homes,
and 1t is to be feared that when these yisi-
tations are finally ended there will bs
many vacancies, caused by death and
resignation, to be filled on the town
school boards.
1t was brought before the notice OF the
meeting by Superintendent Stone that ac-
c0rding to the new law, which goes into
effect the first OF next August, school di !.
rectors will be Obliged to give bonds to
he selectmen; since they have the privi.
iege OF drawing upon the funds in the
town treasury.
The agents were excluded from the az
fRrnnnn hi ok,
at half past one, and the state superintend
ent gave an instructive talk before the di.
rectors on the new school law and its an
plication.
He pointed out where the new law dif.
fers from the old, so that the directors
might know how to 60 to work intelli-
gently to make the necessary changes
He also called attention to the summer
schools and explained the work being
done in them.
He brought to notice the fact that
scnool statistics, as at present compiled,
are OF little or no value on account OF their
inaccuracy, and he urged the directors to
insist upon greater carefulness in this
matter on the pal of teachers and clerks
OF school boards.
He explained somewhat the new course
OF study prepared for the ungraded
schools, and this course, it is generally
conceded, is one OF the best features ~
the new law.
He then gave his hearers an opportuni.
" to ask any questions they might wish
to In regard to the application OF the law.
ano after answering them clearly and
satisfactorily, passed on to discussion Of
free textbooks. He did not touch an
the merits Of the different publications.
but gave the directors few points 10
help them to wise selection and then
left them to the tender mercies OF his fol-
lowers.

IN THE SPRING.

IN THE SPRING.
When the lengthening days portend
Winters reign is near It's end,
In the spring;
How we gaze with keen delight
At the first bare spot in sight,
Like ring.
And we don our rubber boots,
Cast aside our winter suits,
Plant our peas;
And the first thing that we know
Comes heavy fall OF snow
And a freeze.
Then our Joy is quickly fed;
We've a hard cold in the head,
And we know,
Though it's almost past belief,
We've been fooled by just thief
OF a crow.
