WHERE GENARAL JOHNSTON
FELL.
From the New York Sun.

CoRINTH, Miss. Feb. 1O.--I re-
Gently made a visit to the battle
field upon which the Confederate
commander, General Albert Sgd
ney Johnston received his death
wound 80 years. ago. A veteran
who had served as captain in the
Ninth Illinois regiment during the
war had been at the place for the
purpose of raising a memorial, as
he said, cover the men who had
stayed there" He says that Gen
eral Johnston was shot about
twenty PAGES in front of the regi-
mental colors of the Ninth illinois.
and died there among the killed
and wounded who fell before COM
pany X which was at the extreme
left. $780," said the veteran cap
tain, 81 have become convinced,
after all these years, that it was
the fire of my own color company
of the regiment, then commanded
by Lieutenant Colonel Alexander
q. Halves, that ended the career
of the Confederate commander,
who was then regarded as the best
strategist and boldcst general in
the service of the Confederacy."
A number Of Confederate vete-
rams who were examining the bat
field when the former captain of
the Ninth Illinois regiment was
there, were agreed as to the iden-
t~ification Of the spot.
1t will be remembered that at
the time of the battle, the circum-
stances of the death of General
Johnston was concealed and his
body was borne from the battle
field without the knowledge Of the
troops by whom he had been slain.

Death Of Elroy A. Clayton.

The many friends of Elroy A. Clayton,
recently assistant in the St. Johnsbury Re-
publican office, were shocked to hear of his
death, which occurred Monday on train
on the Southern Pacific railroad at ..The
Needless" a station near tn. California and
Arizona lines Mr.. Clayton had been in
poor health for year past and was on his
way to California where he hoped to re-
cuperate. 1t is understood that he took a
severe cold at Albuquerque and it is
thought sudden hemorrhsge proved fatal.
A dispatch was received by Editor Sault OF
the Republican, who communicated the
sad news to the grief stricken wife. Gale

The Times and New Hampshire News.

The Times from newspaper point OF
view is unfortunately situated in one
respect it is on the border line of two
states it is Vermont paper, yet gives
much space and attention to New Hamp-
shire local news. 1t has active cores
pondents in Charlestown, Claremont,
Langdon, Drewsville, Alstead. Westmore-
land, Walpole and other towns in Sullivan
and Cheshire counties; this makes it
valuable as local paper, but compre-
hensive handling of New Hampshire state
news is impossible. In the local field /,
however, we assert without fear of success
full contradiction, the TINES is without a
peer.
Take the Walpole news service for ex-
ample, where Miss Marion S. Jennison is
the efficient correspondent; the local news
is published twice week fuller and more
accurately than any other paper published
Much OF what appears in other papers is
reproduced from the Saturday issue of the

need be made only of the list of Walpole

New Steamboat on Lake Sunapee,

The Newport, N. H., Champion con-
tains the following which is Of local interest :
The officers of the Woodsum Steamboat
company. having headquarters in Concord
for the winter, have let the contract for a
new boat, which is to be placed on
the waters Of Sunapee lake next season.
Thi. company now owns the Lady Wood
sum and Armenia White, and the new boat
is designed to eventually succeed the for
mer, although the Lady Woodsum is sound
and will continue in service, except where
there is need for carrying larger number
than she can accommodate.
The new boat is to be the swiftest on the
lake and will only draw about five eet of
water, so that it can make all points with
ease and safety. Its capacity will be about
200.
The new craft is to be IS feet in length.
eighteen feet wide. and six and one-balf
feet deep. II will contain an upper and
lower deck, double engines and a twin
screw propelling apparatus. An upright
boil is being made which will contain 100
tubes. The boat is being built in Della
ware, where the designer lives. Ii will be
completed and placed in commission early
next Jure and will cost about Sl2 OOO Ii
will probably be named the John TYLER. in
me mory of the late prominent citizen of
Claremont by that name, who has since the
earliest development of Lake Sunapee been
a potent factor in the advancement which
has been recorded.

The Office Seeker Abroad.

The festive office seeker is on deck in
every corner of the state and there is more
of him than ever before. A prominent
Vermont politician in conversation recently
said that never in his memory had there
been such a scramble for the federal ap-
pointive offices; he aptly described the
situation when he said there are seventeen
pegs for every hole" Many Of these can
didates are travelling from town to town
and soliciting enormous lists Of names TO
infict on the Vermont congressional dele
cation, or perchance on poor Bill McKin-
ley HIMSELF others are carrying on vol
luminous correspondence, metaphorically
sIapping men on the back whom they never
saw, never spoke with and don't care ever
to speak with provided they get the office.
Yet this tremendous hustle for office is
not without its advantages it argues either
that times are hard or Vermonters are be-
coming ambitious. If the times are really
getting harder, it is important that the
business interests of the state should be
informed, and no one will assert that a
laudable ambition is not commendable.
Then too these petitions are of great
value in determining mans status in the
community. The petitioner always requests
that your occupation past, present and
future be appended to your name, presum-
ably to carry weight. A petition recently
sent to this office for signature has the fol.
lowing: Charles H. Robb, states attorney
Windham county Henry c. Lane, presi
dent Bellows Falls savings bank; A. N
Swain, banker, ex-senator, ex-editor O

major 9th Vt, Elk and prospective post
master of Bellows Falls. The petitioner
modestly enquiries if this is list il
which the editorial 1--WE" would t'fee
ashamed to see his own name now or a
any future time"
The 1--WE" in question lost no time il

wludhsm County Sunday School Association

WtHunaU lountN SuWuHy 'tHoVi NNsosihheus
It IS a we'll known fact that no form OF
Christian work has rallied such unity and
as has the study of the Bible in
the Sunday school. 1t has been felt that
here surely was common ground. The re-
searches OF the present generation have
added so much to the knowledge Of Bible
lands and peoples that beside the ever-liv-
ing interest in the Bible there is the con-
slant Indictment of discovery. Sunday
school methods also have been made an
object of earnest study by men OF both
ability and piety, who have realized the
necessity and opportunity in training the
young as well as the profit and pleasure OF
the older Christian. The time has passed
when people get too old for the Sunday
school and when people go to Sunday
school SIMPLY because they ought to- sup
port the institution. Such enthusiastic and
studious laymen as c. w. Osgood OF Bel
lows Falls, L w. Hawley Of Brattleboro
and others Of our own county, have made
it evident that Bible learning and Bible
teaching are not confined to the clergy.
The Windham County Sunday school
association at its fall meeting directed its
officers to undertake practical methods for
increasing the interest in Bible study in
our county. A canvass is proposed and a
series of district rallies is already being ar
ranged.
1t is desired that the Sunday school
workers shall understand exactly the plans
of their committee in order that the best re-
suits be obtained. In the first place a
house to house canvass has been placed in
the hands of special committee; these
meetings will give them an opportunity tc
explain their work. 1. B. Miller, field agen
of the state association, is to attend all O
the meetings. He will have with him many
of the best devices for explaining helpful
methods of instruction which ought to b.
especially suggestive to teachers ofyounge
scholars. He will also suggest course o
so-called supplementary lessons, the ide
of which is to provide course of study il
addition to the international lessons. Their
is pretty general feeling amongst Sunda
Sunday school workers that the interna
tional lessons should not be the only sub
jects of study in the Sunday school, bu
that it is well to devote few minutes eac
week to some other line. A part of tn
time in each meeting will be given to a
open discussion of this question and bot
sides may be heard.
An explanation will be given Of wa
by which every school no matter how sma
may obtain set of large wall maps, witt
out binding themselves to pay any set pric
but only the amount Of a voluntary colle'
, ton. Rev. j. w. NARAMoRE.
