will best and most effectively accomplish
these purposes. The people of Vermont
have, thus far, wisely conducted these
matters. They have succeeded in select
ing such officers as have given the State
an exceptionally high standing. | shall
trust them to deal with my candidacy.
While the people are quite well informed
in regard to my services as Senator, they
may not know the difficulties under which
they were rendered My appointment was
made near the close of the 5jth Congress
when its business was in forward state of
preparation. The Senators were nearly all
strangers to me. The rules and methods
of procedure are unlike those of any other
legislative body. A Senator must familiar
Senate also the names and States of the
different senators and their places on COM
mttees. The treaty with Spain, with all
its important and far-reaching conse-
quences, was under consideration and was
given careful study.
The session Of the 56th Congress just
closed has been filed with the considera-
ton of important measures. The financial
bill, the territorial acts for the government
of Hawaii, of Porto Rico, and of Alaska
have become crystalized into law, and the
question of seating Mr.. Quay determined.
The questions in regard to seating Mr..
Clark, bills for building the Nicaragua
canal, for ship subsidy, for the amend
ment Of the antitrust law, for the govern
ment of the Philippine Islands, for regula-
ting the manufacture and sale of oleomar-
garine, and upon other less important
measures, have been prepared and more or
less considered. They await final action at
the coming session. What important

An Interesting study Of Birds Nests
The Brattleboro Bird club held an inter-
esting meeting last Monday evening with
Mrs. Crowell, devoting the time to a study
of nests and young A description of a
cedar birds nest was read and nest of
the same kind shown. Readings were
also given from Bradford Torrey. The
club members reported nests in various
parts OF the village and on the mountain
which they had watched during the sea
son. In number of instances the dates
OF the different visits were mentioned and
the condition of the nest and young on
each visit reported. Some of these re-
ports also showed how comparatively fear
less the birds are when engaged in house
hold duties, suffering the visitors TO come
near and even allowing themselves to be
stroked with little stick as in the case
OF SOLITARY" vireo found on her nest on
the mountain. A case was reported in
which there has been phmbe's nest in
the same spot and occupied each year for
20 years in succession, this being the goth
year.
A noticeable record is that of pine
slskins feeding their young on April II in
W. Z. Horizons yard on Brook street.
rms meant that the eggs must have been
laid some time in March Hardy little
creatures these birds must be when their
eggs and babies can endure March wealth
er without harm. This is an unusually
early date for even pine siskins.
On the Retreat meadow a bobolink' 8
nest was found June II with four young.
On the 18th the nest was empty, but the
old birds were near and presently one and
then another of the young birds took
wing to 60 to a safer place. In each case
an old bird followed close beside each
young one all the way across the meadow,
and then the old birds returned to escort
the remaining babies also. Over 20
bank swallows nests have been counted
this year in the bank at the corner of
Canal and Washington streets. Scarlet
tanagers built on Chase street. The nest
was blown down in the heavy wind June
30 and two little tanagers were killed. The
third baby was placed in cage by the
family and the cage hung in the tree
where the parent birds fed and cared for
their baby.
Purple finches, rose-breasted grosbeaks.
downy woodpeckers, chickadees and nut
matches are all bringing their young to the
windows in different parts of the village to
feed.
The club adopted badge which will be
furnished free to juvenile members who
have paid their admission fee. Adult
members wishing badges can purchase
them of the secretary.
A collection of nests was shown by
Miss Grout, taken at the close of the sea
son when they had been abandoned by
their owners. This collection included
nest of bluejay, cedar bird, king bird
redstart, wood thrush, Wilson's thrush,
gold finch, scarlet tanager and others.
The next meeting of the club will be
held the first Monday in August.

DANIEL WHIPPLE.

The Phoenix was in error recently in
suppOsng that Daniel Whpple, the high
sheriff of Cumberland county, and the
Daniel Whipple referred to in the anniver-
sary exercises Of the Baptist church, were
the same person. The latter did not come
here to reside till after March, I'LL. The
census taken by the former at that time
shows but one Daniel Whipple, and that
was himself The latter was here in ISL,
for his share of the land tax of 10 shllings
per 100 acres laid by the new state Of Yer
mont was set to him here. He probably
adhered to New York, for with other such
adherents he refused to pay it, and 81
acres of the northwest corner Of his farm
was sold by Richard Prouty, constable, to
satisfy it. He was classed as a head of a
family for school purposes in 1882. He
died here and was buried in the old Gene
terry over West river. This is the inscrip-
ton upon his gravestone.
In memory
Of Elder
Daniel Whppile
who died April 10th
1889 in the 9th
Year OF his Age.
Blessed are the dead which die In the Lord
from henceforth, that they may rest from
their labours; and their works do follow them.
Rev. 10, II.
The sheriff was probably a relative of
the Elder, not his son, but perhaps a
nephew,

but since he graduated from Cambridge

much time to rowing, and it was known
before he started in the race Friday that he
was in poor condition. The time was
much slower than the record, which is held
by Howell. Howell tainted at the finish of
