OBITUARY.
MRS. JEHIEL wRIGHr.

After - years the gates of Heaven stood
aiar to receive from earthly vision Mrs Flee
Ia Wright On october p, 1896, those faithful
hands ceased their wonted labOrs to begin IL
higher and more perfect usefulness. Hers
has been lite of selt-torgetiulness in the ser
vice OF others, although sufferer from child
hood she survived her husband several
years'andGis survived by tour children, two
sons AMI two daughters, one OF whom, Miss
Jennie, has tenderly guarded the years OF her
intrmity as only devoted daughter could
do. Mrs. Wright early became IA follower of
Christ and with childlike simplicity rested on
His promises. She and Mr.. Wright were tor
wears members of the Addison BAPTIST
church, from which she Withdrew to become
Il charter member OF the Middlebury church.
Here she was faithful unto the end. AL
though tor years unable to attend its service,
she was always ready to respond to every
call ana the last words of her consciousness
was Il blessing upon the church and her in
terests. The last Illness was one OF intense
suffering Tor weeks, and without a murmur
she seemed TO feel it to be His will and tor
the best. She leaves large circle OF friends
to mourn her departure, with whom to see
her was To love her, and those who knew her
best loved her most. Her face was an inspir
alton in life and DenedicIiOn in death, and
the many relatives and friends could but look
upon its quietness and say, "She was good
woman she hath done what she could" Her
death was full OF victory and we expect to
meet her in "that tlir morn of mOrns", when
we, like herself, shall be robed in the gloues
OF Immortality.
Gone to rest, life's weary labor done;
GaSt all the STRIFE, the tOll, the care,
Into the silent land beyond the tomb
That promised home so wondrous fair.
Those eyes no fond love now can brighten;
That voice can answer no more to our own ;
The tired head is pill0wed low in slumber;
The gentle spirit has forever flown.
Those aged hands, so worn and wrinkled,
Now crossed upon the pulseless breast;
They labored here in love ana blindness.
Dear, patient heart, we bid thee rest
Sleep till the morning. the beautiful morning,
When the clouds and the darkness shall all
roll away;
Then NAV we meet i'm the glorious dawning
Where night never comes and tits endless
day.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

MCKINLEY AND HOBART THE WINNERS.
The returns from the presidential
election on tuesday, are slow in COM
ing in from several of the States, but there
is no doubt of the election of the repub-
lican candidates. Just how many cleo
toral votes each of the two leading par
ties will finally be found to have is not
likely to be known for number of days
yet. The best statement of the situation
at hand as we go to press in the follow
ing Associated press despatch:
New York, Nov. Returns received
today and tonight by the United AssOci-
ated presses reduce the doubtful States
to two-California and North Dakota.
Washington, Wyoming, Kansas and Ne
braska of the States which were IN doubt
last night are transferred to the hyan
column, and Delaware, Oregon, South
Dakota, Indiana and Kentucky are plac
ed in the Mckinley column. The vote
in Kentucky Is close, but advices indicate
that the State is republican by a small
plurality. Delaware and Oregon are al
so close States, but are apparently car
ried by Mckinley.
The later news from California anC
North Dakota is that in the precints sc
far counted Mckinley leads, but the mar
gin of votes is so small that both State;
should be still classed as doubtful. The
latest returns indicate that the electOra
vote of the States will be cast as fol
lows

LIE OLD CANOE.
By Emily h. Page OF Bradtord.1

By Emily X. Page of Bradtord.1
Where the rocks are gray and the shore is
steep,
And the waters below look dark and deep;
Where the ragged pine, in Its lonely PRIDE,
Leans goomily over the murky tide;
Where the reeds and rushes are tall and rank,
And the weeds grow thick on the winding
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
through,
Lays at ITS moorngs the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped
Like sea-bird's wings that the storm hath
Topped,
And crossed on the railing, one DER one,
Like folded hands when the work is done;
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl, with his dun "toohoo,"
Settles down on the side OF the old canoe
The stern, halt sunk in the Shiny wave,
kots slowly away in its living grave;
And the green moss creeps DER its duh decay,
Hiding the mouderng dust away;
Like the hand that plants DER the tomb n
flower,
Or the ivy that mantles the fallen tower;
While many blossom of lovelest hue
springs up DER the stern OF the old canoe.
The currentless waters are dead and still,
But the light wlnls play with the boat at will 4:
And laZily III and out again
1t floats the length of its rusty chain,
Like Like me weary march OF the hands OF time,
And the shore Is kissed mt each turn anew
BY the dripping bow OF the old canoe.
! O, many time, with careless hand,
! have pushed it away from the pebbly strand,
And pad led it down where the stream runs
quick
Where the whirls are wild and the eddies are
thick;
And laughed ms leaned DER the rocking side,
| And looked below in the broken tide,
| To see that the faces ana boats were tIcO
That were mirrored back from the old canoe
But now, as lean DER the crunbling side,
And look below in the sluggish tide.
! Ihe face that see there is graver grown,
And the laugh that hear has Il sOberer tone,
4 And the hands that lent to the light skin wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things;
But love to think of the hours that flew,
AS rock ed where the VIII rls their white spray
threw,
Ere the blossoms waved, or the green moss
grew,
Der the moulderng stern of the old canoe.

MACK WINS.

Mack won the 2l7 unfinished race for
trotters at Combination park last Friday
by a close margin over 6. II. F. The
first heat was won by b. l.. c., which
made the bay gelding and Mack two
heats each. In the final heat B. l.. C..
broke badly, leaving the contest to the
Rutland horse al d G.. II. F. 1t was a
pretty mile, first one horse leading, then
the other, and the issue was in doubt
until the last 30 feet, when 1t became ap.
parent that Mack was the winner and he
came under the wire leading by II neck.

Representative Dyer of Salisbury has
introduced bill at Montpelier to repeal
the law providing for the examination of
cattle for tuberculosis and for the killing
of animals found diseased. He thinks
there is a good deal of humbug connect
ed with the tuberculosis agitation and
that the introduction of the bill will lead
to thorough ventilation of the subject,
if it does nothing more.

The st. James Gazette of London,
commenting on our recent election, says
Behind the silver movement there was
an undoubted feeling of popular discon-
tent with the established order of things,
which is likely to become more desper-
ate through defeat. Indeed. it looks
more like the beginning of great social
and economic struggle than the end.
