sion.
The school at the village closed last Fri
day with a fag-raising, Rotations, songs
and refreshments. The flag had been
picked out and subscriptions enough So
licited to pay for it, which were, of course,
easily obtained. Last Friday, many having
an interest in the school, or having chill
dren or relatives children there, proceeded
to the grounds to enjoy the entertainment,
which they supposed was public, as 1t
should have been, but were somewhat sur
prised when they found that this was not
the case. Gladly would all our people, had
they been asked, have contributed either to
the flag or the refreshment table, 80 that
| these otherwise very pleasant and appro-
nriota avarpiaaa might hpua haan nrnparly
attended by others than those who had
written invitations.

The many friends of Mrs. Sessions, WHIT
recently died at Minneapolis, Mimi, will
be glad to learn that her remains have beef
brought back to Waitsfeld and inferred
beside those of her two lovely boys and he
former husband, DR.. ID. O.. Joslyn. While
we all lament the untimely death OF Jane
yet we are glad to welcome her back t.
sleep with her kindred in the home of he
early years. Mrs. Joslyn, or Jane, as sh'
was affectionately called, was the great
granddaughter of General Wait, the frs
settler of Waitsfeld, who by common cor
sent is regarded as the father of the tow
where his ashes repose. 1t is enough 10
Waitsfeld that its soil contains the ashe
of that grand old Puritan hero, who did s
much to give the Green Mountain boy
worldwide renown The members OF tn
old church that used to worship on the Hi
nave very recently been celebrating tn
one hundredth anniversary OF its existence
OF this church General Wait was one OF tn
beloved founders. 1t is fitting that NJ
only that old church but the whole con
munity should pause much oftener tina
the lapse of centuries to do honor to IL
memoir Of the Christian fathers and mot
ers OF Waitsfield. General Wait settle
in Windsor before coming to Waitsfiel'
He was followed to his new home
more than fifty, who became heads
! families and lived and died in Waitsfel
! and to-day sleep beneath her hills. Yo'
correspondent has wandered away from Il
subject of this sketch, thinking that son
: pen ADLER and more suitable than his wi
8 do Justice to her memory. No doubt h
t resting place will be hallowed by the tea
of affection by the boon companions of h
early years long after the green grass shs
have grown over her grave. We all low
, like Jane, our mountain home. Who of
! would not adopt the language OF that go'
I old song to-day:
. Theytell us of their western cline, they. say tits pa
U ing fair,
s That sunny are Its laughing skies and soft its balr
a But we'll linger around our childhood's home till a
our warm blood chills,
TIL we die in old Vermont and sleep beneath h
hills.
