ing, March 10, the soul Of Mrs. Bridget

which was then wilderness. In 1886
they removed from the farm to this city
and remained here till their death.
Mrs. Kelly possessed the best attributes
OF the Irish Catholic woman. She was
devoted to her church and brought up
her children lin the way they should go"

vermont NATIONAL Guard.

The seven judges Of the supre me
court have united in rendering an
opinion that the Vermont National
Guard is still in existence unaffected
by the war with Spain.
Governor Smith asked the supreme
court for an opinion some months ago
and the reply was placed in his hands
last week. The status is the same as
though the guard had had leave of
absence during the war and on its re-
turn it again becomes the National
Guard OF Vermont.
The regiment is now empowered to
proceed And elect a colonel and do
business as of old, the decision saying
in closing:
II follows therefore, that when the
regiment returned from the United
States service, exclusive of the MEM
bers who were not National Guards
men when they entered that service, 1t
constituted and was re-installed as the
First Regiment National Guard of
Vermont, and that question of reor-
ganization does not arise.
