New England's Mountain Child.

. III
Where foams the fall-a tameless storm
Through Natures wild and rich arcade,
Which forest trees, en%twinfng, form,
There trips the mountain maid.
She binds not her luxuriant hair
With dazzling gem or costly plume.
But gayly wreathes a rosebud there,
To match her maiden bloom,
She clasps no golden zone of pride
Her fair and simple robe around;
By flowing riband. lightly tied,
Its graceful folds are bound.
And thus attired-a sportive thing,
Pure, loving, guileless, bright and wild
Proud Fashion! match me in your ring,
New England's mountain child!
She scorns to sell her rich, warm heart
For paltry gold or naughty rank,
But gives her love, untaught by art,
Confiding, free and frank.
And, once bestowed, no fortune change
That high and generous faith can alter
Through grief and pain, too pure to
range,
She will not fly or falter.
Her foot will bound as light and free
In lowly hut as palace hall;
Her sunny smile as warm will be,
For love to her is all.
Hast seen where in our woodland gloom
The rich magnolia proudly smiled
So brightly doth she bud and bloom,
New England's mountain child!

No Call For Volunteers.


Though determined to increase Cen
eral Otis command, so as to provide
him with $4,000 men, it is authorita-
lively stated that no call for volun-
teers will be issued, and renewed con-
fdence is expressed in the ability of
this force to quell the instruction.
The strengthening of the administra-
tons confidence is the result of a
cablegram received from General Otis
indicating that he has at last found
the point through which the insurgents
ship their supplies, and that proper
steps have been taken in cooperating
with the navy to cut off the filibuster-
ing expeditions SEM to the Island of
Luzon by friends of the Filipinos in
Hongkong.
Under the order issued, increasing
the companies of infantry to 1913 men
each, General Otis will be provided
with a force Of 1854 men. In order
to increase his strength to 10000 men
it has been determined to increase the
strength of each company, troop and
battery in the Philippines to $50 men.
Colonel Thomas Ward, assistant adju-
tant general, in charge of recruiting,
expects that the 5000 recruits called
for will be enlisted and on their way
to San Francisco within ten days.
While the administration expresses
the utmost confidence in the ability of
General Otis, with the regulars, to
cope with the situation, it is evident
that the sentiment is growing that the
president should call for volunteers in
order to provide that officer with at
least $4,000 men to begin the campaign
at the commencement of the rainy
season.

ANNUAL PARISH rlEETINd.

The annual parish meeting of Christ
Church was held last Monday. The year
lust closed has been most successful, and
the Church commences the new finan-
cial year with clean books. Previous to
the election of the Wardens and Festry-
men Rev. Z. p. Lee gave brief but very
interesting address, reviewing the work
of the Church the past % years (the
twenty-ffth anniversary of the opening
of the Church for service occurs next
August and will ID. V. be fittingly cele-
brated). He referred to his own pecu-
liar experience, working as a layman
with the Church in its early days when
the outlook was anything but encourag-
ing, and then after the lapse of over
twenty years coming back as its rector
to find it prosperous, difficulties sur
mounted and an encouraging prospect
ahead, all most gratifying. He gave
some little account of what had been ac-
complished since the opening of the
Church, including these statistics: 400
baptized, 1876 confirmed, 100 married, SO
buried, and present list of over JOG
communicates. These vestrymen were
elected-John Reeve, John W. Thurs.
ton, w. II. Bishop, Thos. 5. Hall, b. n
Robinson, w. S. Hunter, j. I. Thurston
After the parish meeting adjourned the
newly elected vestry convened and was
organized by the appointment by tn,
rector of John w. Thurston Senior War
den, and the election by the vestry o.
Junior Warden, w. ii. Bishop; secre
tary treasurer, w. S. Hunter. The dele
gates elected to the diocesan convention
to be held at Rutland next month ar,
John Reeve, w. Ii. Bishop, John W
Thurston; alternates, T. S. Hall, w.
Hunter, B. n. Robinson. In the evenin,
number of the members of the paris
met in Grace Church vestry kindly Loaned
for the occasion, and enjoyed a bounti
full supper furnished by the Woman
Auxiliary. Several speeches were made
} that of A. II. Hall being exceedingly il
, teresting and Astounding in wit. 1t wa
J a very happy and pleasant occasion t
all interested.

RIshNp HALLS VISITATION.

The Right Rev. Arthur c. A. Hall, d
d., Bishop of Vermont, visited Christ
Church on Wednesday April 26, and
confirmed class of 16 candidates in
the presence of large congregation at 4
o'clock in the afternoon. This we be-
lieve is the largest class ever confirmed
here. After the Confirmation the Bish-
op preached an excellent sermon on
"Grace." The style of the discourse
was so plain and simple and yet so elo-
quent that many must have obtained a
much clearer idea of term SO commonly
used in religion than they ever had be-
fore. On an informal invitation from
the Rector's wife the Wardens of the
Church, Messrs. Thurston and Bishop
with their wives, dined with the Bishop
in the evening, and later quite a number
of the parishioners paid their respects tc
the Bishop at the rectory. AT Z O'Clock
the following morning there was cele
bration of the Holy Communion, the
Bishop being the celebrant. Among
the large number who received were
twelve of the newly confirmed who theI
made their first communion. The Bishol
left at p. IN. for Norton, going theme,
to the Averill and Canaan Missions. Iii
visit was very helpful.

Considerable interest has been aroused
during the past few days in the report
that the big dam belonging to the Dalton
Power Co. at Fitzdale was giving way.
This rumor was founded on the fact that
the high water and large quantity of logs
in the river undermining the lower end
of one of the piers caused the breaking
of the racks above the mill, resulting in
the loss of the boiler and wheel and great
damage to the building. The bank on
the Vermont side with some 800 feet of
the railroad was washed out, and in all
damage to the extent of some six or seven
thousand dollars was caused. While this
loss is to be regretted, it must be graft
fying to the owners of the property to
know that the dam has doubtless been
subjected to test, the recurrence of
which can hardly be possible, and has
withstood it without the slightest indi-
cation of weakness. Those of our people
who have visited the locality say that the
waterfall and its surroundings are grand
beyond description.

10. OF. ANNIVERSARY,

Essex Lodge, /. O. o. f., celebrated
the S0th anniversary of the institution
of Odd Fellowship in this country by in
viting the public to an illuminated plat
form entertainment at the opera house
last week Wednesday, April 20. The
lecturer was Rev. j. Edward Farrow.
Grand Chaplain of the Grand Lodge Of
Vermont, and his subject was "Frater-
nifty" In the course of his lecture he
explained very clearly the aims of the
order and the duties devolving upon
each member, his subject throughout be-
ing illustrated by songs and dissolving
views, and he also gave several quota
tons from Houghs celebrated poems on
Odd Fellowship, all of which gave great
pleasure to very large audience. Or
local celebrity, Eugene o. Baldwin PIE
sented the views in fine style. Esscx
Lodge has the thanks of our people in
affording them such delightful and
instructive evenings entertainment.

Dear Sir: There are two sorts of fur

'em both. One sort looks better than it
is, and the other is better than it looks.
There isn't any other sort.
The same two sorts of paint, no more ;
and We make em both---we make tons
of stuff that isn't worth it's freight. Be-
longs to the business-have to. Belongs
to your business-you have to.
But this is aside. We put into cans,
with our name ON, the very best paint
there is in the world: Devoe lead and
