REPUBLICAN, CELEBRATION

The celebration OF Abraham Lincoln s
birthday by the Young Mems Republican
Club of Vermont in Burlington Tuesday
was magnificent success, both as to at
tendance and enthusiasm. The event
was made particularly memorable by the
presence of Hon. Chauncey M. Depew of
New York, one of the greatest of Amer
ican orators. Long before 2.30 O'Clock,
the hour appointed for the exercises to
begin, every seat in the opera house was
taken. The four boxes, the sides of the
stage and the front seats were occupied
by ladies. D. J. Foster, president OF the
club, presided, and made fine opening
address. After selection by the u. V.
M. quartette Gov. Woodbury. made a
brief and mplimentary speech to the
young republicans. President Foster
then introduced the Hon. Chaunceg NJ.
Depew of New York, who was given
most enthusiastic welcome. His subject,
abraham Lincoln" was handled in his
usually masterful and brilliant manner.
Gen. ]. G. Mccullough Of Bennington
was the last speaker He made a few
pleasant remarks concerning Mr.. Depew.
and then referred to him as the president
of the New York Central railroad. and
possibly the next president of the United
States. This announcement was re-
ceiyed with great applause. and it was
several minutes before order was re-
stored. After the meeting an informal
reception was given Mr.. Depew, several
hundred shaking hands with him.
Following the speeches was the ban
quet at Co. Ms armory. An hour was
spent over the bill of fare by about 625
people, probably the largest number that
ever sat down to banquet in the state.
The postprandial exercises were pre-
sided over by Hon. c. A. Proutv OF New
port, and the following were the speak
ers Messrs. Depew and Hart Lyman OF
New York. Col. George T. Childs of st.

THE INCOME TAX.

Corporations and individuals liable
to the provisions OF the income tax
law will bear IN mind that the fail.
ure to receive blanks from the collect
or of internal revenues does not alb
solve them from the necessity of max
ing returns on or before the first of
March. 1t is understood that blanks
for returns will be sent as far as the
United States officials ascertain the
corporations aud individuals liable
to the tax. But this in no way alb
solves them from the penalty for
failure to make returns.
Taxpayers should apply immedi-
ately to Arthur l.. Weeks, deputy
collector of internal revenue, St. AL
bans, VT, for blanks.

A DOGS JOURNEY.

The following clipping from the
Biddeford Journal tells you about it.
One morning last week small box ar
rived at Hotel Thacher and inside was
one of those peculiarly cute little quad
rupeds, pug. He bore that invariable
expression of combined meekness and
hauteur, which pugs are born with and
never relinquish, and he had evidently
borne the discomforts of his journey ad-
mlrably. The package came by A.neri-
can express from St. Johnsbury, VT, the
former home of DR.. and Mrs. ]. F. Trull
of this city. The dog was the center
of attraction for while at the office and
was soon in the personal possession
of its owner and he literally owns the
place to-day.
The oldest circumstance Of all is the
card that accompanied him, nailed to the
box. BY this precaution he couldn't be
lost, and that's good thing when a
dumb beast is sent on railroad journey
all alone. In typewriter letters the fol-
lowing explanations were found: "My
name is Neptune, want to 60 to Mrs. ].
