Vermonts New Organization Asks for Co
Operation from the People.

BURLINGTON, VT, Dec. 6.
Mr.. Joseph Battell, Editor of the Regis
ter Dear Sir-We desire to call your
attention to the formation of the YER
mont Antiquarian society and ask your
cooperation in promoting Its growth and
usefulness. We enclose a copy of the
articles of the association, which show
that its object is to collect and preserve,
for the benefit of the public, objects Of
historic and local interest, and also to
gather library of books, pamphlets,
ETC., relating to the history of the state
and nation, including those relating to
individuals, families, towns and cities.
We desire to have every portion of the
state represented in our collection.
This may be done by articles that are Of
value because of their historic interest,
or because of their age and the con-
nection which they may have had with
old time customs and ways of carrying
on domestic or business affairs, also by
books, pamphlets, etc.
We believe that you will be glad to
assist us in this laudable enterprise, and
we therefore ask that you call attention
to the work of our society in your paper
and that you suggest that contributions
from your section will be gladly re.
ceiyed. Any assistance that you can
give us in this way will be very greatly
appreciated. All articles will be ap-
propriately marked with the donors
name and with descriptive labels and
kept in proper rooms, with due regard
to safety, and protected from injury.
We also desire to receive as members
from every town those who will be in
terested in the aims of the society, and
willing to assist in carrying out its
objects. G. II. PERKINS,
Corresponding Secretary.

still keep on my course of apparent in

Since that interview six months had

heard, nor of the noise like the slam
ming of a door. There was no use in
adding to the inexplicable feeling of
alarm which my old nurse felt.
As for the man Mrs Snyder had seen
after the shot fleeing down the road
that was easily explained.
IF my house had the reputation of be-
ing haunted, it was most likely passer-
by would have wings to his heels on
hearing the report of pistol about the
place.
After breakfast we went through the
house.
| noticed that all the windows were
closed Therefore it was no sudden gust
of air that caused the slamming of a
door. But nothing was discovered
which would give one reason to suppose
there was any thing unusual about the
place.
We finally came to the attic, and |
looked out of one of the small win
dows, first brushing away the curtain
of cobwebs.
From this height could see over the
orchards On the brow of Sunset Hill,
about half mile distant, was large
