indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.

with swindling. The minimum
penalty for this is two years. 1t il
thought that the crime which the
two crooks committed is de,
fined better by the statute %
swindling than by that Oh
larceny, and this fact may have had
something TO do with the compromise
which was effected. Had the pris
oners not been convicted for lsrcen!
they would have had to have beer
held until the February term, and il
would have been a great inconven-
fence to Mr.. Eddy to have remained
o q the other hand. the prisoners would,
on conviction of swindling, have prob
ably have been sentenced for several
years. For these reasons, both sides
were willing to agree on com
promise.
Wright and Howard claim that Ed
dy bet his own money on card in a
three card monte game. They led
him at first to think that he had won
800 by picking up the right card,
Then Wright started to- count out
500 in bills to pay Eddy the bet, but
after counting out $50 took it back,
saying he was foolish to pay the money
over, as he did not know that Eddy
had 500 to bet. Eddy was anxious TO
get Wright's money and showed his
gold to prove that he had that much
money. A new bet was then arrang
ed, each placed his money on the de-
pot window sill, Eddy picked up the
wrong card and Wright pocketed the
money and went off. Wright walked
to KasOta that night and caught a
train.

NON=ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.
Rev. L. w. Beattie Reads sn Interesting
Paper on This Subject

The Social Science Club held an in
teresting meeting last evening and
discussed the matter of the mon en-
forcement of the Law" Rey. Lee w.
Beattie read carefully prepared and
interesting paper upon the subject,
covering the reasons leading up to the
non enforcement of the law. He held
that if law was placed upon the
statute book it should be enforced, no
matter what it's character is. The
quickest way to get rid of a bad law
is in it's rigid enforcement. The peo-
pie will then see that it is annulled.

South African Singers.

J. H. Balmer and Miss Elsie Clark,
withs FIVE South African boys, from S
to Is years of age, were listened TO by a
large and appreciative audience at the
Methodist church last Sunday evening.
Mr.. Balmer made some very interesting
remarks, telling of the customs of the
South Africans and experiences OF mis-
sionaries among them, and the boys
sang several songs, some in English and
some in their native tongue.
Monday evening very small audience
listened to concert given in the church
by them. It is very remarkable what
progress these children have made, some
of them only having been in civilized
countries about two years, but they can
sing and talk and understand our
language together with their own, and
the Oldest one who has been with Mr..
Balmer five years has command of tt rec
languages. Mr.. Balmer and Miss Clark
are endeavoring to raise $4,000 to build
a new school and carry on their work
under more favorable circumstances, and
already have raised $4,000.
1t is to be regretted that so few at
tended the concert Monday evening, as
it was treat that should not have been
missed.

CROP BULLETIN.
Prospects of the District Fully Up to tn.
Average.

Prospects of the District Fully Up To tb.
Average.
Boston, June 28.-Last week is consid
cred the best of the season In many Sea-
tions of Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Connecticut; the sunshine caused
rapid growth of crops and the fair
weather favored farm pursuits. Re-
ports from the agents of the weather
bureau show that haying is in adj
vance from week to 10 days. Hoeing
is week to fortnight late. The result
of hay making and hoeing coming at the
same time Is foulness from weeds and
overworked farmers. A want of rain 10
reported from all sections Of Rhoda
Island The same applies to Connecti-
cut, except that an excess of moisture in
the soil is reported in some sections of
New London county. In the larger Dor
ton of that state the drought Is becom-
ing injurious; pastures are browning
and Strawberries are showing the effects
of dry weather. The prospects of the
district as whole are fully uu to tha
average.
Corn is improving in about all sections
but is still backward. The sunshine and
showers have improved the color, though
THE cool weather in northern sections
has been unfavorable to rapid growth
Rye and oats are showing rust in western
Massachusetts, and rust is also affecting
the oats in sections of Fairfield county
Conn. AS whole the grain crop is
promising.
The caterpillars have about ceased
their ravages, but the apple crop in manv
sections has been destroyed. Most
damage was done In parts Of Chittenden
county, VT. In Shelburn. which is To-
Gated in an apple producing district. the
crop will be but small percentage Of
that which was promised. The forest
worm has wrought great damage to the
sugar naples in sections Of Windsor
county, VT. 1t Is believed that the trees
in many instances are permanently in
1ured. The apple crop Of the district
will probably be an average one The
indications are favorable to a good SUM-
ply of pears, plums and cherries The
peach trees in Connecticut show plenty
of fruit.
Field and garden vegetables have, as a.
rule, made good progress. The potato
crop in all sections is very promising
and seems unusually free from Injurious
insects. The early crop is blooming in
northern sections, and in southern por-
lions the new potatoes are nearly ready
for market. Asparagus is still being cut
In Massachusetts. Garden truck gen.
orally Is in excellent condition and very
plentiful.
The strawberry crop is especially
abundant In some sections the market
is reported overstocked The fruit ia
very fine in quality. Blackberries rasp-
berries and wild berries promise large
yield.
Some setting of tobacco has been done
during the week In western Massachu-
sets. The plants are reported back
ward and small in some sections, as the
weather has been too cool for rapid
growth.

ron against Spain was the outcome Of
direct official advices reaching the state
and navy departments as to the progress
of Admiral Camara's squadron. These
advices gave list of the Spanish ships

Dartmouth Songs.

A book entitled Dartmouth Songs"
has been published by E. O. Grover, st.
Johnsbury Academy, 80 and c. P.
Graham, '95. With single exception
the songs are all new and were either
written or set to music expressly for this
collection. 1t is probable that no single
college song book ever presented more
notable list OF prominent English and
American composers. The book, which
is large quarto (sx12), is printed on
excellent paper, with an olive.green
cover of Strathmore paper. The cover
design, embodying the armorial bearings
of the Earl Of Dartmouth, is by Louis
Rhead of New York City. The mechan-
ical execution of the book has had
careful attention, and it makes fitting
and acceptable gift. This book is on
sale at F. o. Clark's book store at $3.50
and deserves large sale.

Among the Colleges.

The welcome news was announced at
the commencement of Mt. Holyoke Col
lege last week that friends and alumna
of the college had completed the sum of
$150,0OO for endowment necessary to
secure DR.. D. K. Parsons provisional
gift Of $4,000. A. L. Williston OF North.
ampton, G. Henry Whitcomb Of Worces-
ter and Boston man, whose name is
not given, each gave $4,000, and the
class of '93 gave 5000. The trustees
awarded DR.. Pearsons the degree of M.
A. on the following recommendation Of
the alumna:
The resignation OF President Gates Of
Amherst College has started much news
paper talk to the effect that Rev. DR.. c.
M. Lamson of Hartford is candidate
for the position. While this is strongly
denied by DR.. Lamson, his many friends
among the alumni feel that he is the best
equipped man for the position that has
yet been mentioned and would make an
real president. Concerning this matter
the following from the Hartford Post
will be read with interest:
"For years Mark Hopkins = Mark,
the perfect man. his boys used to call
bim-was the president of Williams COL
lege and at the same time the president
of the American Board. The present
president OF the board, one of Hartfords
most honored citizens, is intimately as
ISOLATED with another New England
college, now without an official head.
Under the colleges care he laid the found
alton of his own scholarship and he has
intrusted his sons to its training. AS
member of its corporation, he has ex-
erted powerful and benefcent influence
in it's affairs. The Amherst trustees will
presently have to choose new Amherst
president. If their choice falls upon their
distinguished and beloved colleague, Rev.
Charles M. Lamson, D. D., of the First
church of Hartford, there will be wide
approval and rejoicing among The col
lege's graduates and friends. We could
wish Amherst no better fortune. But
Hartford would not rejoice; very much
the contrary. Hartford may have citi-
zens whom she would export to the
Massachusetts or any other market, but
DR.. Lamson is not one of them. She
wants him for home consumption.

Hagar and lshmael.

Howe Opera House has not been so
well filled for some time as it was last
Thursday evening to witness the first
presentation of the biblical drama,
"Hagar and Ishmael."
The scenery was very fine, and every
one rendered his part in way that re-
fiected much credit on those having the
rehearsals in charge. Every one will be
pleased to learn that this was a financial
success and the Alumni Association will
have over SIS to give to the Academy
treasury. The people of St. Johnsbury
have now been entertained twice by the
efforts Of Miss Allen, and she will be
assured of cordial welcome here in the
future. Much credit is due to the young
ladies who worked so hard to sell ad.
vance tickets and to the 100 or more
ladies and gentlemen who participated
in the play.
