Special Town rleeting.-A specit

Special Town rleeting.-A special
town meeting was held in the Town
Hall, Monday afternoon, attended by
about 60 of the voters. The warning
asked for action on petition to abate
B. G. Howe's taxes on the Avenue
House property on the grand list OF
1895 and also those to be assessed on
the hotel site on the grand list of 1896.
The amount asked to be abated in the
first case was 1864 and for 1896 about
500. Elisha May moved that the taxes
on the 1895 list be abated, making a
short speech in favor of the motion on
the ground that Mr.. Howe was next to
the largest tax payer in town and had
met with a severe loss. Gen. II. X. Ide
also favored the motion. E. u. Blodgett
said that Mr.. Howe had received the use
of the Avenue House for 10 months of
the year that he asked to have his taxes
abated. E. P. Allen said he did not be-
iieve in the principle and that he had no
personal reason for opposing it. Mr..
Mays motion was defeated
The second article in the warning
called for abating the taxes on the list of
1896. A. F. Lawrence moved that this
article be dismissed. Several speakers
spoke on, the motion, both for and
against it. The motion to dismiss the
article was carried and the meeting adj
iourned.

County c. e. Convention.

The ninth scmi-annual convention o
the Caledonia County c. E. Union wal
held at Hardwick the 25th and 26th o
June 1896. On the evening of the 25tf
few delegates had arrived, but early thu
next morning they came thronging intc
the church and Frightening by their pres
ence the prospects Of the convention.
The opening meeting commenced will
the usual song service, which was fol
lowed by a most interesting and instruc
tive address upon 1.-THE Ministry of Nat
ural Beauty" wherein he laid especial
stress upon the blessed peace and rest
which comes to one by beholding God
through the medium of beautiful Nature
The sunrise prayer meeting conducted
at six O'Clock the following morning by
Mr.. orion of Hardwick was very inter
esting and proved to be a valuable pre-
paration for the services Of the day.
At $50 O'Clock the business of the con-
vention was transacted, including the
quarterly reports from the different So
cieties of the Union. Immediately fol-
lowing this came the discussion of the
morning upon "Christian Citizenship"
consisting chiefly Of two papers, one
upon the Duties and Responsibilities of
an American Citizen" and the other, writ
ten by Miss Lilias M. Nelson of St.
Johnsbury, gave the convention very in
teresting and profitable account of
"What Women can do for the Cause of
Good Citizenship" The question was
then thrown open to the house and
treated in helpful manner until HOO
a. m, which was the hour appointed for
an address by Miss Kyle the secretary Of
the w. B. F. M. After prefacing her re-
marks with an urgent appeal for all to
attend the Washington convention, she
began her subject and for three-quarters
Of an hour held her audience in complete
control, with her fluent account of her
varied experiences in the mission fields
and as she finished, the convention / am
sure felt like saying zen masse," THANK
God for Miss Kyle"
The first part of the afternoon was
given up to the Juniors, who can well be
congratulated upon the helpful sugges-
tions and words Of advice they received
from Miss Marvin of Brattleboro. The
remainder of the programme was taken
up almost entirely by papers written
upon the "Value and Work of the Various
Committees" Much information was re-
ceived from them and the two hours
given that work were full of profit to all.
During the short business session follow
ing, the committee reports were read and
accepted, thereby electing President Lewis
as the county delegate to Washington
and appointing Lyndon Centre as the
next place for the County Union conven-
ton.
The Junior banner was taken by the
North church society, while to the East
Hardwick society the Senior banner was
awarded. After these few announce
ments the closing consecrating meeting
was conducted by President Lewis of
Hard wick.

be an ungrateful brother. Arrested last
winter and bound over to County Court
on the charge of bigamy. bail was fur
nished by his brother, c. L. Sanford, in
$500 bonds. The grand jury indicted
him and the bonds were raised to $500,
his brother becoming surety. A few DAYS
ago he stole gold watch and other ar
ticles and skipped. No trace has yet
been found of him. George Sanford is
80 years old, medium height, weighs
1876 pounds, dark complexion, black hair
and black eyes. A reward has been
offered for his arrest.

A Comment on County Politics..

NOHinSnt Oh NOunty POHtICS.-
The Montpelier Waterman scores our
county republicans for not re-electing
their senator's in the following language:
Hon. L. d. Hazen of St. Johnsbury,
who had served one term as senator
from Caledonia county, declined a renom.
ination several weeks before the meeting
of the nominating convention. Republi-
cans were sorry tor the withdrawal of a
wise and useful public man from the
legislative service of the state. Caledonia
was the sole remaining county which
was adhering to the wholesome custom
of electing its senator's for second term.
AT the convention last week the county
departed wholly from this custom, nomi-
mating two new men to the upper branch
of the legislature. The "vicious one term
rule" is now triumphant in both house
and senate. The rule has neither sound
reason, good sense nor good politics to
sustain it.
