VERMONT ACADEMY
Company Il Wins the Banner in the
Competitive Drill Tuesday Evening.

The regular competitive drill took place
in the Vermont Academy armory Tuesday
evening For the first time Company i
secured the banner. Since the fall drill
the two company battalions have been re-
organized and the drill on Tuesday was
between picked men from the two com
panes. The work was very satisfactory.
The drill consisted of the movements of
the company in fOurs in twos, in files, and
in line; with the manual of arms and the
bayonet exercise. b Company made its
greatest gains in the manual. In some
particulars A surpassed &. 1t is but fair
to Company A TO say that it was handi-
capped on account of the loss of all of its
officers recently, a newly appointed I'd
lieutenant being in command Capt
Hindes had drilled his men for some weeks,
while I'd Lieutenant Archibald had had
charge of his company but short time be
fore the competition.
Before the Judge gave his decision the
"Crack CO.. the best drilled men i'll the
schooD, looking very natty in their dis
tinctive uniforms gave an excellent eXhibi-
ton drill covering nearly all of the ''school
of the company and the bayOnet exercise.
They drilled with life and snap and their
soldier-like appearance gave to the specta-
| done in so many schools. The digniiied
and manly bearing, the self control the
promptness to obey were noticed 10y all.
At the end of the "Crack Co. s. drill
the competing companies were drawn up
in line and 1st Lieut. Stephen NJ. FoOte,
/ 4th United States Artillery, who went to
| West Point from Vermont, in few com
/ plimentary remarks congratulated the ca
| diets on the work OF the evening" and Com
/ pany b on its success Miss Converse, with
few well-chosen words, then presented
| the banner to Capt Hindes Ex-Gov.
| Fuller, president OF the board of trustees,
| was present and was called upon to say a
| few words. He expressed himself as much
/ pleased with the drill and said that if the
/ young men did as well before the inspector,
no company in the land would get a better
report. He told what a good record the
| boys had already with the war department
| The governor evidently felt proud of the
/ young men. in whom he has SO great an
! interest.

Lyman Abbott in Henry Ward Beecher',
Pulpit.

one of the most observant and enter
tanning of the New Y orb city correspon-
dents writes: In former days, when strang-
ers in the city inquired the way ITO Beech
er's church. ~ they were told Ito cross the
ferry and follow the crowd." Now that
Beecher is no more, the same directions
would scarcely be safe TO follow in getting
TO Plymouth church, and yet it is true that
under Rev Dr. Lyman Abbott the cele-
brated church continues 10 hold bic con
greCations every Sunday. The place has
changed little since Beecher died The
building is as plain as ever. The only
change is the bronze memorial tablet TO
Beecher in the vestibule The pulpit and
the pews, the large choir and the vigorous
congregational singing are the same.
Sweet old Mrs Beecher sits in her seat
under the pulpit and listens 10 Dr. Abbott
with a much attention as Sc used TO
listen TO her husband A. TO the preacher.
of course, Or. Abbott isn't Beecher: he
hash his voice, his presence, his magnet
ism, and his moments of tumultuous elo-
quence But he is certainly 1v.harkable
man, and his achievement in holding
Beecher' congregation for seven years is a
surprising one. He makes the church,
what it was in Beecher's time. the most
noted religious assembly in Brooklyn.
Dr. Abbott is even broader in his theologi-
cal views than Beecher was. He keeps in
the van of the procession of the new the
ology. Last Sunday, for instance, he an
nounced with the utmost earnestness that
God inspired men now fully as much as he
did in the Bible times. Whittier, he said,
was as much inspired as David. God
speaks through Beecher and Brooks as
much as through the ancient prophets In
spiration is confined TO no time or people.
God inspired Abraham Lincoln 20 lead the
American people through the Civil war as
he did Moses to lead the chosen people out
of Egypt.

Funeral OF Mrs. Annie Rcckhnrt,

Sunday was sad day in Ell1o.
Every face bore traces of sorrow for
the noble woman who lay in the cold
embrace of death and whose funeral
was to take place at 2 o'clock III the
afternoon.
Sympathizing friends gathered at
the late residence of Mrs. Annie Reck-
hart and comforted the stricken fam
lily with tender words of sympathy.
At the appointed hour, the remains
were escorted to the Presbyterian
church by the members of the Ladies'
Aid Society, all ofwhom were dressed
in black.
At the church the members of the
Aid Society were seated in body,
just in the rear of the mourning fam
lily. Rev. NJ. S. Riddle conducted the
services which consisted of hymns
by the choir and feeling sermon on
the life and character of the deceased.
Tears came to many eyes unused to
weeping during Mr.. Riddles sermon
and lie at times was hardly able to
control his feelings.
At the conclusion of the services in
the church, an opportunity was given
to the people to take last look at the
features of the dead as she lay asleep
i'll her narrow house. The remains
were then borne to the hcarse and
escorted to the Odd Fellows cemetery
by the Aid Society where the burial
service of the Presbyterian church
was performed by Rev. NJ. S. Riddle.
At the conclusion of the burial SER
vice, the people silently took their
| departure from the cemetery, with
hearts filed with sadness for her
whose remains were laid-.awa to
await the Archangel's trump on the
resurrection morn.
May her good deeds ever remain q
pleasant memory to the living and
may her long sleep be as peaceful as
an infants slumber on it's mothers
breast.
