The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-07-31


| lature A committee was appointed to sub
NIT constitution and bylaws at an adj
journed meeting, on Saturday, August "a.
There will be an excursion to Fort Ticon-
deroga, N. Y, Tuesday next, under the
auspices OF the Odd Fellows Lodge of
Barre. Our band has been engaged for this
excursion, and the train will start from and
return to this place. Fare from here, we
believe, is but $3.50. With pleasant weather,
it ought to be pleasant and well-patronized
trip
James Canaly, for years the popular con.
drctor on the railroad between here and
Barre, has just been promoted to con-
ductorship on night passenger trains be.
tween Montpelier and Barre. While the
public will regret his departure, 1t will re-
| joice with him in his well-earned and mer-
tied promotion, and wish him further adj
vancements, later on.
The one hundredth anniversary Of the or
| ganization OF the Congregational church in
this place will be duly observed on August
-. Steps to this end we're taken last
| Thursday evening. Rev. j. n. Perrin was
made chairman Of the committee of ar.
rangements. or former members of this
church, Revs. Tenney, Barnard and De-
merritt Of Vermont, Miller and May of Mas
sachusetts, Schofield Of New Hampshire,
and Jones of Wisconsin, are living some or
all of whom it is hoped may be present. In
vitations will doubtless be sent to former
members OF the church, so far as their res.
| licences are obtainable, and to others, to
take part in the exercises, for which it is
thought day and evening will be needed.
These exercises may wind up with a grand
address by some good speaker from abroad,
II such can be had. The event ought to be
one OF great interest and profit, and these
not limited wholly to the church in question.
Quite many years ago the principle of
pon-resistance got hold here, number of
our citizens having come under its spell.
An incident of those days has Just been re-
vived in our hearing, the repetition Of which
now, II 1t has point, certainly has no
sting 1t happened on a time that that jol-
lest OF wags, the late James f. Jilson,
then in early young manhood, was at work
for one OF these non-resistants, when one or
more OF the hornet, wasp, or bee tribe, "got
after the latter with vengeance. 1t was
soon obvious to Jillson that the primal in.
stinct of self-preservation in his employer
was not dead, however it may for time
have been dormant and he, of all men,
could not " resist" the impulse to send a
shaft in bee line at the joint in the har-
the pursued man, that che had laid aside his
principles for the time being" And now
let the man who has never stepped down
! from his high ideals throw the first stone at
that non-resistant's memory.
