This day is sacred to our heroes dead. Upon
their tombs wa have lovingly laid the wealth
Of spring. This is q day for memory and tears.
A mighty nation bends above its honored
graves and pays noble dust the tribute of its
love. Gratitude is the fairest flower that sheds
it's perfume in the heart Today we tell the his
tory Of our country's life, recount the lofty
deeds of vanished years, the toll and suffering,
the defeats and victories Of heroic men, Of men
who made our nation great and free Today
we remember the defeats, the victories, the
disasters, the weary marches, the poverty, the
hunger, the sufferings, the agonies and above
all the glories of revolution. We remember all
from Lexington to Valley Forge and from
that midnight despair to Yorktown's cloudless
day. Robert G. Ingersoll

They sleep SO calm and stately,
Each in his graveyard bed,
1t scarcely seems that lately
They trod the fields blood red
With fearless tread
They marched and never halted.
They scaled the parapet.
The triple lines assaulted
And paid without regret
The final debt.
The debt Of slow accruing
A guilty nation made;
The debt of evil doing,
OF justice long delayed
Twas this they paid.
Theodore p. Cook.

Soldiers, who freely for our country's glory
Upheld our flag on southern hill and plain,
Long may your deeds be told in grateful story.
We have not lived in vain.
Brothers, who fought for more than empty
honor
That all our land united might be free,
May shine forevermore upon our banner
Each star for liberty.
Heroes, who toiled through all the dusty
marches
And life surrendered on those shot plowed
fields,
To ye who fed where the blue sky o'erarches
Tribute q nation yields

Oh, brothers, the days grow longer, and the
nights like q glory shine,
And the love Of our souls is stronger than the
heat and the fire Of wine.
We were foes when the guns were frowning
from the walls that were grim and steep.
Now the grass and the blossoms are GROWING
the graves where our heroes sleep,
And the years with purpose are pregnant,
though our swords are red with rust,
And right in the world is regnant, and wrong
lies prone n the dust.

ELECTRIC POWER.

The st. Johnsbury Electric Company
have placed an order with the General
Electric Company for a 100 Kilowatt
5000 Light alternating magnetic gen
orator. This machine will furnish both
light and power and will replace the two
dynamos now at the plant. This will
enable the company to give a day service
to those wishing lights, and in bank
vaults and other places the day circuit
will be much appreciated. Power for
mechanical purposes will be furnished by
the company from a fraction of horse
power upwards, and already many firms
have signifed their intention of using
electric power. The generator is of the
very latest pattern and the motors to be
used with them practically require no
care and are indestructible. The gene
rator will be in place this fall and orders
for motors should be placed with Mr..
Frost at an early date.

MEMORIAL DAY EXEkCISES.

At one O'Clock, Wednesday, May 90,
Rev. 7. A. Boissonnaut, L. Marceau, and
w. Plamondon repaired to the parochlal
school, where the boys, in compliance
with the law passed in Montpelier at the
last session. held suitable Memorial ex-
ercises. Judging from the bright answers
given by the little fellows, patriotism
holds first placein the curriculum ofthe
school. The chief feature of theentertain-
ment was the able discourse of the prin-
cipal, Rev. Brother Silvere, who treated
i'll a mastery manner the history of
Memorial Day. He dwelt long on the
benefits derived from the abolition OF
slavery, the happiness each one enjoys
under the American flag, and finished by
defining the meaning of true patriot,
and how each one in his sphere of life
contributes to the general prosperity of
the country. The hearty cheers of the
boys at the conclusion of the discourse
were proof that the words of the Rev.
Principal found an echo in each young
heart.
At two o'clock the pupils of the convent
formed into rank in front of their build
ing, each one bearing aloft the STARS
and Stripes, " the whole presenting very
pleasing effect On the arrival of the
Rev. gentlemen already mentioned, and
Mr.. J. Mcdonald of Chamberlain Post,
the Memorial exercises began in the pres
ence Of large number of friends. The
entertainment consisted Of singing, dia-
logues and essays, in which the young
ladies proved clearly that patriotism had
nothing to do either with sex or sects.
Mr.. ]. Mcdonald addressed the pupils
quite at length. He spoke of the heroes
of the war, way back in the "sixties," Of
his own experience, of the beautiful Gus
tom of decorating the soldiers graves,
concluding with an anecdote which al.
most made the girls wish there was
another war, so that they too might give
expression to their patriotism.
The Rev. ]. A. Boissonnault then gave
the pupils holiday, and encouraged them
to enter into the spirit of the day. He
also expressed the desire that they would
not forget thegraves of the st. Johnsbury

and third in two-mie bicycle race. Alb
bolt was third in the one-mie bicycle
race and Wood third in the half-nlle run.
In all these races there were over fllteen
men started and each had hot finish.
In the second lap of the two-mile bicycle
trial heat, three men, including Abbott
and Jones Of St. Johnsbury, had the mis-
fortune to collide. Jones was disabled
but Abbott after strengthening out his
handle-bars continued the race an eighth
OF a mile behind and in six laps caught
up, winning third in a closed finish. He
certainly did not lack the inspiration OF

vice with the corporation and by little
figuring it aggregated 701 years. The
oldest in service was Col, Frank Walker,
who completes this year his fftieth year
of service for the company. After the

FERTILIZER BULLETIN.

The Experiment Station at Burling-
ton has just issued Bulletin At on
Commercial Fertilizers" giving the
guarantees and analyses of ninety
two distinct brands sold in the state
this year, with their money valua-
tons. This bulletin also includes
twenty-four pages OF matter explain
atory OF fertilizers and fertilization.
1t is thought that this bulletin will
prove helpful to farmers who use
commercial fertilizers, inasmuch as it
not only gives analyses of all the
brands in the state, but explains the
same and indicates the best methods
OF selection, purchase and use. The
bulletin will be sent free of charge to
any address upon application. A
postal card addressed to the Expert
ment Station, Burlington, Vermont,
is sufficient.

The Academy base ball team faced the
Dartmouth Freshman on the campus
last Saturday afternoon. The game was
not what would be called close, but in
the last three innings the Academy boys
made 8 scores, which very nearly evened
the score. The Dartmouth boys, how.
ever, shut them out, and the game closed
with the score IA to 10 in their favor
The features of the game were the left
hand catch made by Stickney of the
Academy and the long fly over the fence
by Nichols of Dartmouth. Patev, '94,
pitched the latter part of the game, but
was poorly supported.
The Academy has reason to be proud
of the manner in which her athletes &C.
quilted themselves in the Dartmouth In

of her best material, the five men who
were entered succeeded in bringing home

He said he signed the notes purely
out OF friendship for Mr.. Walter;
that he never got anything for doing
it and that if the case was decided
against him he should have to pay
the money out Of his own pocket.
He said the last note at the plaintiffs
bank that he endorsed fell due June
23 1891, and when Walter showed
him that note marked paid" he
supposed his Indebtedness had been
reduced $4,000, and on this account
signed other notes amounting to
$4,000 little while afterwards. All
renewals OF the note due in June, 81
were forgeries and witness never sus-
pccted there was any crookedness
until August, 1893, when the Lyn-
donvlle National Bank notified him
Of note endorsed by him for $4,000
that must be paid
Mr.. Fletcher explained IN detail
how he had endorsed Walters notes
to the amount of 500 500, taking as
security d mortgage on the Republi-
can block and two life insurance pol
icles. He said he never would have
increased his Indebtedness $4,000 had
he not supposed the note at the Lyn-
donvile National Bank was paid.
The jury were then excused to
Thursday morning and the law
points argued with the court. The
plaintiffs attorney moved that
verdict be given the plaintiff, even if
all the defendants allegations were
true. This motion was ably argued
by the attorneys on both sides,
numerous cases being cited. The
court took the motion under consid-
Grafton and an adjournment was
taken until Thursday morning.
When court opened yesterday
morning Judge Start instructed the
jury to bring in verdict for the
plaintiff, charging the defendant with
interest on the note from the time
interest was due. In giving this
charge to the jury the court said
that if the note was genuine the
plaintiff should recover; il the note
was forged, then the original had
never been paid. The bank is not
liable unless by its conduct it has
discharged the defendant from any
liability. The court cannot regard
as law the claim that the bank was
negligent in not discovering that the
renewals were forgeries. The fraud
of Mr.. Walter is the approximate
cause of Mr.. Fletcher increasing
his liability $4,000 more. The orig
inal note was procured by fraud and
Mr.. Walter perpetrated fraud upon
Mr.. Fletcher when he showed him
the same note stamped Paid upon
its face. The defendants loss is
traceable directly to Mr.. Walters
fraudulent acts. The Vermont law
is plain that the payment of note
by counterfeit money or forged paper
does not pay the note.
The jury rendered their verdict for
the plaintiff and were excused.
The case will be taken to the su-
preme court on exceptions by the de-
fendant.
The case OF T. X. Stiles VS.. Warren
Estabrooks was settled. The case
of M. 7, Caldbeck VS.. Joseph Drouin
was also settled.
