HON. JOSIAH CIRCUIT.


The Gentleman Who Has Been Elected
Governor Of Vermont.
Josiah Grout, the newly-elected gov.
ernor of the Green Mountain state, was
born on Vermont farm May 2S, 1912,
and spent his early years in the labori-
Gus pursuits incident to the life of a
farmers son. He attended district
school in the winter and later went to
an academy, where he was pursuing his
studies when the war of the rebellion
broke out. He went to the front at
once, enlisting as private in Company
/ Of the First volunteer cavalry. He
was elected second lieutenant when the
company was permanently organized.
April l, 1868, he was made a captain
and the same date was seriously wound
ed in action. He still carries the bullet
he received in that battle. In 1864 he
raised company for the frontier cav

Our earth may have great num-
Der of such small satellites revolving
round its orbit, yet unknown, and they
might never be discovered for this rea-
son:. In the daytime they are not Wis
ible because of too much light from the
sun. At night, after the sun has set,
they are in the shadow of our earth
again, and not having light of their
own they would be in eclipse. If their
mean distance from our earth was 500
miles to be visible by telescope of 1s0
magnifying power, such as l used, their
diameter must be at least 35 feet. If
smaller they would not be visible. Com
pairing their diameter by the transit
of Mercury it would hardly be one
tenth. I hope other observations may
have been made by other astronomers,
SO that we may be able to determine
it's distance"

ABOUT THE ACTORS.


People etaways like to.read about
the theatre, and about the actors
The Boston journal, with it's usual
enterprise in meeting the desires of
readers in every particular, has just
completed a dramatic and musical de-
partmcnt which is probable unexcelled
by any other paper in the country.
Mr.. Philip Hale, who is recognized
by all the greatest musicians as an
authority on matters musical, contin-
ues at the head of the musical de-
partment. Mr.. Hale is Yale grad
uate, and for five years studied a.
broad before returning to America to
take up the field of music and litera-
ture, in which he has continued till
this date. The Journal has, in ad-
dition, placed at the head of the dra-
matte department Mr.. Frank E.
Chase, one of the brightest and best
informed dramatic editors of the
country. Mr.. Chase graduated at
Harvard twenty years ago, and soon
afterward became member of the
staff of "Puck." The wit and clev-
erness displayed in his article on that
periodical are carried into his Journal
work. Of later years he has been
writing under the nom de plume of
"The Man Who Laughs" devoting
most of his literature to dramatic sub.
jects. Every day except Monday the
Boston Journal publishes signed ar
ticles by one Of these two writer's, in
addition to the regular dramatic notes
and their breezy, picturesque, origi-
nal descriptions of things dramatic
and musical are attracting wide at
tention.
A. l.. Wetherell, who is travelling
in the interest Of the Vermont Spring
company, has just returned from two

Rev. Charles Coon will preach at

PRICE THREE CENTS.
IN MEMORIUNI.

De'lcated to the memory of my late esteemed
Hend, Nettie A. Thompson, now at rest.
Like bud or fairest blossom
Plucked and bruised by changing Time
So thy days were sadly numbered
Ere they passed their youthful prime.
ln life thy hours seemed full of pleasure
With kindly deeds and smiles replete
Thy heart was warm and strangely
Untainted yet by vain deceit.
We can but wish thee back sincerely
Tho never more to earthly strife;
We wait the dawn of Heavens morning
When Christ shall call the forth to life
q joy complete o life resplendent!
In blissful rest on yonder shore,
When we shall meet without a parting
Forever, yes, forever more.

MAY HAVE SATELLITES.
Chicago Astronomer Thinks tho Earth

Chicago Astronomer Thinks tho Earth
Has at Least One of Them.
Louis Gathmain, one of Chicago's en-
thusiastic amateur astronomers, thinks
he has discovered satellite Of the
earth. It has generally been taken for
granted that it has none, but Mr.. Gath
mann now believes this view to be er-
roneous.
HAS our earth a number Of satellites
revolving around its orbit similar to
those of Saturn or Jupiter?" he asked,
and then he proceeded to answer his
own question thus: Even Mars has
two known satellites, while our earth,
so far as IL known in fact, has none,
Luna, our moon, Is by no means satel-
lite, but . planet. Luna does not re
volve round our earth, as all other
known satellites revolve around their
respective planets in our solar system
Saturn has a great number of planets

vertises "no help no pay SO it will
cost nothing to have him lay hands

that case, we suppose, one ought to
be willing to pay.

From Cheese to Butter.

The Glebe Cheese factory has been
sold to f. C. Miles, the owner of
Mount Lake farm, possession to be
given Oct. lst. Mr.. Miles will put
in separator at once so that there
will be no break in receiving milk.
The cream product will be taken to
Mount Lake and made into butter.
We are pleased to learn that Mr..
Holcomb, TIE cheese maker, will be
retained b. Mr.. Miles TO run this end
of the business. This will practically
convert the cheese factory into a
creamery and will more than likely
prove an advantage TO all concerned.
At all events it is safe to say that
our people will welcome Mr.. Miles
to an interest in our village.
LATER-We learn it is not the in
tention, at present, to abandon the
cheese making but to combine with
the separator for those who may de-
sire it.
