secure the charter and it was or.

THE E XTENSION MEETING.

The meeting called for Monday even
ing in the Athenaeum to make plans for
organizing a University Extension centre
in St. Johnsbury was attended by about
fifty ladies and gentlemen anxious to
learn how it was to be done. The meet
ing was called to order by Arthur F..
Stone, and asked to elect a chairman.
Rev. DIR. Heath was chosen, and then W.
P Kelley was appointed secretary, and
the meeting was prepared for business.
DR.. Heath made an address telling what
he thought OF the movement, saying that
it had long been a cherished dream of his
to see a summer school here and he
thought that this project would be likely
to realize what he wished for.
S. o. Todd read paper giving inform
alton as to the manner in which the
centres are managed elsewhere, and told
what might be done here ii the people
are so minded. Rev. Mr.. lyric proposed
that a committee be appointed to
take all necessary steps towards get
ting information, ETC., and this commit
tee of 13 was arranged by first selecting
a provisional committee OF three, who
retired and subsequently named the fol-
lowing ladies and gentlemen, who were
unanimously elected a committee to take
charge of the entire work DR.. Heath,
chairman; S. o. Todd, clerk; Rev. Frank
Appleton, Rev. H. H. Hoyt, W. p. Kelley,
W. S. Boynton, Mrs. Henry Fairbanks,
Mrs H. N Turner, Mrs. w. p. Smith,
Mrs. Elisha May, Miss Frances Bissell,
Miss Louise l.. Bartlett Miss Mary
Emerson.
During the absence of the provisional
committee an informal discussion took
place. Mr.. Kelley, Rev. Frank Appleton,
and Rev. DR.. Fairbanks all spoke very
much to the point, and the general feel
ing was strongly intimated that if this
movement is to take root here it should
be on some line which will bring the
people into closer touch with the
Museum OF Natural history, the Athene-
um and the art gallery. 1t is expected
that nothing much can be done until the
autumn. The proposed lecture courses
comprise six lectures, and may be on
almost any subject selected by the
centre.

RAILROAD NOTES.

Mr.. T. H. Hanley, New England pas
senger agent of the Central Vermont
railroad, when in st. Albans-the head
quarters of the system-recently, ex-
pressed himself most enthusiastically
over the prospect for summer travel to
Vermont this season. 1t promises to be
unusually brisk over the railroads and
in the many beautiful resorts along Lake
Champlain and among the lovely hills
and valleys and rivers of our state.
Preliminary work has begun on the
Bennington and Woodtord railroad.
Surveys have been made along the old
Glastonbury road, the bed of which is to
be used. William Green, for 26 years
section foreman of the Bennington and
Rutland railroad, is supervising the
work The road is expected to be ready
at the time of the opening of Camp Com
fort.
Among other things destroyed in the
St. Adams fire were thousands of copies
of the Central Vermont's beautiful guide
book, Summer Homes Among the Green
Hills of Vermont" which were in the
Messenger establishment.
