ARBoR DAY IMPROVEMENTS.

ARBOR DAY IMPROVEMENTS.
After the great ice-storm of last year,
the premiaes of the Congregational
church was only partially reduced to Or
der, and the people were invited to OBJ
serve an independent Arbor day on May
10, that they might effect some improve
ments. While good number of public
spirited men devoted lively attention to
the spacious grounds of the church, q
good number of public-spirited women
renovated the interior Of the edifice. A
great deal of woody rubbish, especially
of the locust sort, has disappeared, and
great is the satisfaction thereat. The
graceful elms can now display their at
fractions.
The same day mentioned above, there
was meeting of the ecclesiastical socie-
tv, and others interested in the naintf-
nance of religious ordinances. Rev Mr.
Murson, who began year OF service,
last July, was invited by the unanimous
vote of all present to continue Ihis mini :

think there never was a time when
there was so much thought and interest
in public affairs as now. Every citizen
is deeply concerned In the welfare of his
country. He is fairly well satisfied with
conditions at home. His thought Is not
so much at home as IL is in the new
possessions which have been added TO
American territory through the Valor
OF the American soldiers and by the
treaty of peace.
THE thoughts of the country are now
in the Philippines. They follow the
brave men, the soldiers ana sailors OF
the United States, who are upholding
the flag of our country In those distant
islands OF the sea. We all want peace
moi only peace here, but peace there. We
want the sovereignty and authority OF
the United States recognized IN that
territory as fully as IL Is recognized IN
every other territory belonging TO the
American government. The American
people regret sincerely that the very
people whom they emancipated, the
very people whom they relieved from
oppresslon. should have turned upon the
soldiers of the United states, ioully as
ereigntv of the United States. But hav-
INC done II there is nothing left for the
gnyernment but 70 establish at what
go. COST may be required its undis-
nuted authority IN those ceded islands.
