Vermont Peaks.

The Burlington Free Press recently
had an interesting editorial on
"Heights of the Vermont Peaks"
In it is shown the different measure
ments made Of the principal SUBMITS
of the mountains in our state from
the first measurements in 1858 down
to the present. The early figures
reported the Chin of Mt. Mansfield
to be 1879 feet, Cameps Hump 41O3,
the Nose 1888, Kllington Peake
1924. A survey by the United
States Coast ard Geodetic sur
vey several years ago gave Mt.
Mansfield 4O71 feet and Killing
ton 1921; but it is said the measure
ments on Mt. Mansfield were then
made from the N)se-not the Chin.
A survey has been made this summer
by the United States Coast and
Geodetic survey, but the exact
figures are not given out, as com
putation of verticle angles is not
vet completed, but the Free Press is
informed by Mr. Mossman, the as
sistant Of the Geodetic survey that
1.-THE heighl of the Chin of Mans
field is about 400 feet; and OF the
Nose 4071 feet-the Chin being abou

that the height of Kilington is
greater than that of the Nose and
less than that of the Chin. The ex-
act figures will be given as soon as
computations are completed, and
ought to settle, for all intelligent
persons, the fact that Mt. M ans
field remains the highest OF the Green
Mountains, with Killington good
| second.

asked. Why, young Beecher.' But
father did not quite like the mark
he made few months later. Moth
ing but boy he said"
Mr.. Brecher's marks" were low;
he did not shine as student, and few
at that period of his life would
have anticipated notable career tor
him. The next fall Miss Billiard
taught school al Clappvile in South
Leicester, and Mr.. Beecher stopped
in Clappville on the way to Boston,
called on her in her school room and
spent the evening with her at the
house where she was staying. Mrs.
Beechcr wrote further
Mr.. Beecher incidentally, o.
course, remarked that he understood

Whitinsvile. replied that after
my school closed that | was thinking
of having play spell before taking
another, and it might be through
December. After my school closed
and after spending some time at
home before my visit to my aunt, he
called at fathers and incidentally
again remarked that he had been re-
quested to teach the town school at
Northbridge, and was to board at
Fetcher's. Whitinsvllle was only a
part OF Northbridge, and he knew 1t
all the time. Why said my father,
that's where Eunice will be. Now,
child, you've been teasing to go to
some academy this winter and go on
with Your Latin but turning to the
demure, quiet looking young man,
who had not seemed to pay any at
tention to what was going on, he
said, She has overwOrked the last
few months. | won't let her go to
school. Perhaps as you are to
board at her aunt's and she will be
there short time, you might give
her some help il she is in trouble

seem, he did not appear to feel it to
be an intrusion, but protested him
self as very ready to render me any
service. Even my clear-sighted
mother saw nothing out of the way

boy as she said atterward, and
neither did |, as l might have done
had he been older"
1t was while Miss Billiard visited
her aunt at Whitinsvllle that the
secret was out. Mr.. Beecher found
her aunt's house just the place for
him to stop, and there he asked her
how she would like to go with
him to the West, where he intended
to work as missionary. So they
were engaged in January, 1872.

The reader may never have been in Bur-

this painter does, whether printing sash or
putting the finishing coat on the most med

interviewed him he was completing an artistic
sign, and as he moved the varnish brush
from side to side he frequently stopped and
pressed his disengaged hand in the small of

awkward or un remeditated move brought
him excruciating twinges. Our represent

Early Vermont.

1t is favOrite occupation of a GER
tain class of people to endeavor to
miuify the virtues of the early wor-
thies OF our land There is hardly a
sin in the calendar of which the
Purtans and Pilgrims have not been
accused, grand, God-fearing men and
women that they were. The animus
OF this kind of work often is resent
ment at the stern and quietly accus-
ing virtuous characters Of these men
OF old, which look down upon us in
silent condemnation of the sins and
follies of our own time. 1t has been
recently sought to make it appear
that slavery existed in early Vermont,
and that there was union of church
and state in this state, as in other
parts of New England in early times.
1t is not questioned that the first
constitution OF the state was in ad-
vance OF its time in these matters,
but it is alleged that before the adop-
ton of the constitution slaves were
bought and sold in the state, and
that towns were taxed tor building
churches. The evidence adduced TO
support the charge as to slavery is
the records OF courts and legislatures
in the direction OF prohibiting hold
ing slaves. THE act about churches"
says the Brattleboro Rctormer, pro
vded that when not less than %
legal voters of a town thought the
town able to build m citing house
or settle minister they might vote
a tax to detray the expenses. But it
also provided that ANYBODY who
contributed To the support OF any
her church or minister should be
exempt from the tax. But even this
was so diStasteiul that when the old
democrats came INTO power under the
leadership OF Israel Smith in 1907
the whole law was repealed. The
utmost sin that lies against Vermont
IN this respect is in the clause OF hei
first constitution that restricted re
llglous liberty to those who pro
tossed the Protestant religion anC

tuuity IN 1886

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a COM
munity OF simple, honest, God-'earing
men and women have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon,

make the Shakers the healthy, long lived
people that they are. The Shakers never
have indigestion. This is partly owing
to their simple mode of life, partly to the
wonderful properties OF Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the
stomach glands not supplying enough
digestive juice Shaker Digestive Cordial
supplies what's wanting. Shaker Diges-

all its glands so that after awhile they
don't need help. AS evidence OF the hon
