all gone to "that bourne whence

them, in fact, of all the gentle
men mentioned in the letter we
think that grizzled old warrior,
Capt. l.. D. Prescott is the sole
survivor. Speaking of Capt. Pres
colt reminds us that it has been
claimed-and we have never
heard the claim seriously dispu-
ted-that his command, the rem
nant Of a cavalry regiment, which
included Mr.. Anderson, was the
last armed Confederate force to
surrender, he having lowered his
flag some time in June, 1868. Be
that as it may, we are glad that
we have with us still the sturdy
old veteran who was among the
last to sheathe the sword he had
drawn in defense of his country,
and during all the intervening
years, having again donned the
garb of the citizen, has charmed
and delighted his friends and as
sociates by the gentle grace and
dignity and the stately but kindly
courtesy of the cultured and pol
isheg gentleman. Long may he
live and prosper.

USE HEAVY RAILS.
DR.. Booth Tells the Duties
Street Railways.

Millbury Oct. 26-Dr. Robert Booth,
chairman of the selectmen, is by no
means satisfied with the new street
railway excise law, one feature of
which is the payment to the town Of a
franchise tax. He says certain pro-
visions are so obscure and apparently
conflicting that the lawyers do not
agree as to their meaning. He thinks
that more authority should be given
the seleetmen and city officials in the
manner of compelling the company to
keep their rails in repair. AS a guard
against accidents like the MCGOWAN
bridge accident, where a car left the
rails last March and went into the riv-
err, he would have law passed to pro-
hibit the use of rails less than 90
pounds to the yard on country roads.
He would also in the same line have all
cars on country roads equipped with
eight wheels instead of four.

Rev. ]. H. Parshley of Lawrence spoke
on the question, Can the Bible be de-
pended upon?" He said in part:
THE Sunday school is pre- minently
the Bible school. 1t is the church en-
gagged in teaching and learning the
scriptures of the Old and the New Tes-
lament. In it Christs disciples seek to
accomplish the work of Christ, through
the use of the Bible. In view of the
present state of Biblical criticism, it
is both pertinent and fundamental to
inquire whether we have any Bible that
we can teach with confidence. The ex-
treme conclusions of certain specialists
in Biblical study are of so revolu
tionary a character, and seem to many
to be so destructive of the Bible as
trustworthy historical record, that we
are forced to inquire into the validity
of those conclusions.
I'VE find that this book processes to
be a reliable record of Gods miraculous
dealings with mankind; the central
eaure in this book is Christ. The Old
