few days since a bear and two cubs
were seen near the residence of A. j. Faulk

went in search of bruin. They called and
called but the bear did not come to give
herself up. We are very sorry. The
splendid success of our arms in war has
proved that we have the correct science of
war. If the bear had come out and been
captured as the men called it would have
proved that we had the correct science in
bear hunting, but as things are left it fails
to demonstrate that the way to catch bears
Is to 60 out and call them to surrender

The sunday Afternoon service on old
Newfane I'M.

NcNfane I'LL.
As might have been expected the New
fame Hill service Sunday afternoon on
Bencassou grounds was striking occa-
sion, with its own unique interest. 1t was
attended by about 400 people, and over
100 teams dotted the hilltop and vicinity.
Mrs. Caswell introduced the speakers in
the shade of large white umbrella fas-
tened TO the summit rock. First was Rev.
B. II. Jones, a growing young minister
from Nebraska, with the typical straight
forward and unfearing earnestness min
gled with gentleness, that wins frontiers
men and leaves its impression everywhere.
After his description of some frontier Gus
toms it was evident that Christian work is
making its mark in life among the sand
hills, in the midst of which Mr.. Jones is
located
Songs by the johnson brothers of Lon
donderry rang out as perhaps male voices
alone never so effectively sounded from
that height of land, 1864 feet above the
sea. Looking over the deserted hill it
was difficult to imagine an undeserted
height, not many miles away, 400 feet
nearer the sky, where the village of Marl-
boro lies. Te the north Inward, about equal
ly high, could be SEEN but for the haze.
fame Hill sunset glints often kindle win
dow-panes into brilliant flashes of light in
old Chesterfield on eastward heights
1t was a happy thought that led to invit-
ing Judge II. II. Wheeler of Brattleboro
to give a talk on old.time life in town.
Judge Wheeler has had lifetime faculty
of ferreting out accurate information.
Though he brushed away some fascinating
cobwebs, woven by tradition, he closely
held attention from his audience, and re-
gret was expressed that the afternoon
wasn't long enough for more reminiscence.
The Judge believed that the hill could be
cultivated to advantage now, and was glad
to see such an assemblage present on that
spot, and he rejoiced in the buildings there
that enabled people to spend time in enjoy
ment of the views and refreshing air.
1t was a picturesque sight to see the
motley assemblage so interested in that
hill top service, witch may well become an
annual affair. Old Glory 1oated proudly
with never a thought of being anywhere
but straight out in the breeze, though its
mates must have been limp in the heat of
wales. Far-off mountains might be oh.
scured in blue haze, but little imagina-
ton on the part of lovers of the whole
grand circle could bring out Ascutney IS
miles TO the north, noble Wachusett in
Massachusetts,, Monadnock in New Hamp-
shire, king Of them all, Manicknung in
Stratton, its $3.50 feet glorifed by sunsets,
Eolus mountain in Dorset, Bennington
county, Mt. Tobey in Peru, and the layers
upon layers of intervening hills, in a score
Of towns, making rare picture. and thus
helping TO make a worshipful Sunday af-
ternoon long to be remembered.

the Treaty becomes Animated
SpanInrds Detected.

Paris, Dec. 6.-The joint commission
was in session for over four hours.
Much of the discussion concerned de-
tails as TO the guaranteeing of the
rights OF Spanish citizens in the ceded
colonies. The debate was very energet-
ic, and the Spaniards, on emerging, ap
peared 10 be detected. Secretary Ojeda
of the Spanish commission, when ques-
toned after the meeting as TO the prog
ress made, answered, eNcitedly: II
am almost mad cannot talk. We are
making progress" The American com
missiouers declined 10 say anything
further than that the progress made
was satisfactory.
The Spanish commissioners have re-
ceived authority TO bind their govern
ment on certain matters, but there are
yet important questions on which their
instructions are unsatisfactory, and il
is likely that many of the details in
volyed in the change of sovereignty in
the Spanish colonies will be left for
settlement in the regular diplomatic
process when relations between the two
governments are resumed.
