mastering Out.

The mastering. cut officers of the U. S.
army were here Saturday and spent
nearly all day in examining and muster
ing-out the members Of company d.
The medical examiner was here about
two weeks ago and examined most OF
the members, but there were 10 sick at
that time and they received their exami-
nation Saturday. Capt. Snyder was re-
markably just in his examinations, max
ing note of everything that could by
any possible means entitle the boys to a
future pension.
Capt. Ellis was mustered out, but will
not be discharged until his papers arrive
in Washington and are approved.
Maj. Bonette will 60 to Burlington
Monday, where the field officers of the
regiment will be mustered out, they be-
ing the last ones to leave the service OF
the Government. Three members of the
company, F. M. Dana, C. G. Norris and
H. K. Stoddard entered the hospital
corps and will be obliged to serve the
full time of their enlistment as they are
in he regular army.
There were seven members of the party
who came to muster out the boys, Maj.
Jocelyn, mastering out officer; Capt.
Hovey, assistant; Maj. Townsend, pay
MASTER Capt. Snyder, surgeon Col.
Clark OF the First Vermont Volunteers
and two aids.
The men OF company D are very
healthy and Capt. Snyder says that in
no company in the regiment has there
been less than three men unable to re.
port for examination and that in one
company he found eight who were un.
able to be on hand on account OF illness.
There are now 60 men from the whole
regiment who are more or less seriously
i'll. During the time (nearly three weeks
thatthe examinations have been in pro.
gress Capt. Snyder has noticed a mark,
ed improvement in the general health o
the men. The men in the FIRST compan
les that he examined were hardly able
to drag themselves about. Nearly al
were affected with iaundice. Now the
men who come before him seem to have
nearly il not fnlly recovered. Those men
who on account OF illness, are unable tc
be mustered out with their companies
will probably be ordered to report a:
soon as they are able to the nearest mill
tary post where they will be given 6
physical examination and will be dis
charged. Ofthe 80 members of the hos
pital corps Il have had typhoid fever
| Several members OF other companies
came here to be examined, as. it wa
nearer than the place where their com
pany would be mustered out.

An Interesting History.

Leonard G. Wheaton, who died Oct.
II, was born April 20, 1923, on the farm
where he died, which was settled by his
grand parents, Caleb and Patience
Wheaton, who came to St. Johnsbury
from Providence, R. l., and settled on
this farm. They built a log house in
which they lived few years. They had
family Of two children, Lydia c., born
1898; Zalmon, born 1898, who lived on
the farm with his father and was married
Feb. 20, 1922 to Lucy S. Goss Of Water
ford. They had family of four children,
Leni, Leonard, Tirza and Lucy. In 1856
Leonard was married to Merida T.
Parker of Kirby, who died about %
years ago, since which time he has made
his home on the Wheaton farm. When
he left home he commenced teaming,
dra wing lumber, which he followed a
number of years, after which he settled
at Fairbanks Village and commenced
work in the scale shop as watchman for
few years, afterwards as fireman and
engineer, which position he held and as
sisted till his health failed him when he
was brought home to the old farm to go
out no more. He was quiet and pleas
ant in his ways, assisting and helping
others in times OF want and trouble and
many such besides his relatives and
friends will mourn his loss.

his assistants FIR. Shannon of Under
hill, Fr. Aubin of Swanton and FIR. Mar.
ceau of 81. Johnsbury. FIR. Pauquet of
Lyndonvlle was the master of ceremon-
les.
The choir sang Battiman's mass in
two parts which was rendered in an ar
tistic manner. The dedication hymn
was also presented with much credit.
Following the solemn dedication rites
was Bishop Michaud's address.
The bishop explained briefly that Rev.
FIR. Carmody. who was expected to
preach the sermon was unable to be pre-
sent owing to official reasons. and that
he had volunteered to make few re.
marks in his place.
The subject of his remarks was This
is the house Of God, the gateway to
Heaven" He referred briefly to the
number of years he had known the par
ish and been familiar with its organiza-
tiOns; to the time when division was
called for. He said that the division
was not occasioned by any fault in the
administration Of FIR. Boissonnault, but
on the contrary, his Efforts in both the
spiritual and material interests of the
parish, deserved only the highest praise.
The real cause of the division was, that
the time had come when the English
speaking Catholics of St. Johnsbury
should have church of their own where
they could be united as single family
and hear the word Of God preached in
their own language.
He quoted the motto Of Bishop De-
Goesbriand Deus providebit" God will

French Canadian College.

President Lee Of the French Canadian
college at Springfield, Mass, spoke at
the North church Sunday morning and
at the South church in the evening upon
the work Of that institution. He began
by referring to the glorious history of
the French on this continent and how
though for over a century the French
Canadians had been subject to the Eng.
lish government, they kept their own
language and their own institutions.
The college has II pupils, nearly all of
which are French Canadians, yet at
times there have been IL different ma
tionalties in the institution. He said
the hardest task was to persuade the
parents that their children should be ed
ucated instead Of being placed in the
factories at such an early age to remain
there the rest Of their lives.

Reception at Amherst.

One of the pleasantest social events
that has occurred in Amherst for some
time was the reception recently rendered
the new superintendent of schools, A. l..
Hardy, and his wife, formerly of St Johns
bury, by the people of the town and COL
leges. The reception was held in the
town hall which was tastefully decorated
with palms and potted plants from the
conservatories at the Massachusetts, Ag-
ricultural College. Warmers orchestra
Of Florence furnished music for the occa-
sion. Refreshments were served and dur
ing the evening some four or FIVE hundred
OF the townspeople, including members
OF the faculty of both colleges, paid their
respects to Mr.. and Mrs. Hardy.
Mr.. Hardy has been most cordially re-
ceived in Amherst not only by the towns
people in general but by the members
of the faculties OF Amherst and the
state colleges The work of the year has
opened most auspiciously and the year
promises to be one of the most harmoni-
Gus and successful the schools of Amherst
have ever enjoyed.
It will be Of interest to Mr.. Hardys
st. Johnsbury friends to know that at
meeting of the Hampshire County Teach
ers' Association held in Northampton
last week Mr.. Hardy was elected presi-
dent of the association for the ensuing
year.

To-day we ask God for his blessing.
Is it not fitting for us to come together
to raise our voices to God aud praise
Him and ask Him to bless the building.
Is 1t not right that the walls, the pews

Gated to God, should be sanct6ed?
"Since our first parents transgressed
the commands of their Creator, the
whole human family, has shared their
punishment and been subject to sin and

of sin that the sacraments were estab-

of your spiritual life in this world. 1t is
here you will bring your little babes,
give them into the hands of the priest in
order that they may receive the sacra.

There is but one infallible authority in
this world that is the church, and the
pope when acting in his official capacity,
which is the same.
In years past there was religion in the

A Small Fire.

At about 8 80 Saturday evening the
fire alarm was rung from Railroad street,
the cause being fire in the railroad yard.
The flames shot into the sky so that
many thought the round house was
again being consumed, but it was only a
sand house situated near, which was of
no great value. The department re-
sponded quickly and prevented a more
serious fire.

English Electioneering.

In an article on "English and American
Ele%ctioneering," Sydney Brooks, in The
Ch%autauquan, says: ebay after day you
will see ladies of refinement and social po-
sition sitting from 10 to 4 in the midst of
the bustling disorder, addressing wrap
pers, mailing circulars, doing the clerical
work of the campaign. Sometimes they
sally forth with canvassing cards to beard
the intelligent electorate in its den. Each
registered voter whose name appears upon
their card is called upon, is crossed exam-
ined, is argued with, is often persuaded,
this, too, in districts whose inhabitants do
not always conduct arguments by word of
mouth alone. To a Conservative this fair
canvasser will dilate on the virtues OF
Lord Rosebery and leave him with a batch
of Radical leaflets, promising to call
again. A confirmed Liberal she will greet
with holy Joy, ask after his wife and chill
dren and decorate his parlor window with
q portrait of their beloved candidate.
1.-THE wretched being who has not made
up his mind how to vote can have no peace
till he has given her a decisive answer.
She will visit him, plead with him, ha-
rangue him, appeal to him, till the poor
fellow has to yield to get rid Of her and
back to his work. In the evenings she
will sit on the platform by her candidates
side, perhaps make a little speech, and on
election day she will send her horses and
carriages to drive honest Bill from his fac.
tory or workshop to the polling place and
