An Outspoken Minister.

The heresy hunters have a shining
mark in the Rev. Newton Dwight Hills,
the eloquent pastor of the Plymouth Con-
gregational church in Brooklyn, n. Y,
where Henry Ward Beecher preached so
many years. DIR. Hills arraigned the "hell
fire and damnation' doctrines in recent
sermon, saying among other things:
1.-THE confession of faith says that GER
tain men and angels are foreordained to
everlasting death, being particularly and
unchangeably designed, and their number
is so certain and definite that it cannot be
either increased or diminished, and every
young man who enters the Presbyterian
church has to solemnly swear TO believe
and teach this frightful view. And every
attempt to revise and expel that statement
from the creed has been successfully COM
bated by majority that wishes TO retain
the doctrine. 1t would seem as il a man
would prefer TO be burned at the stake
rather than hold or assert or charge such
infinite cruelty upon the all merciful, and
ALLOWING God. The day the scholastics
wrote that chapter in the confession of
faith they got the devil confused with God.
l would rather shake my fist in the face of
the Eternal and fling every vile epithet
toward his stainless throne, where eternal
mercy sits with the worlds atoning Saviour,
than lift my hand, with that creed, toward
Gods throne and affirm that I taught or
believed It,"

TWO IMPORTANT BULLETINS.

Vermont Experiment Station Tells How
to Combat the Forest Tent Caterpillar
---AnaIyses of Fertilizers Used In the
State.
The Vermont Experiment station has in
press bulletin rs, a 32-page illustrated
bulletin on the forest tent caterpillar. 1t
will be issued in a few days. 1t gives a
description of the insect, and the measures
which may be taken to cope in some
measure with it, 1t gives no easy method,
no means of complete eradication when
once thoroughly established, but points out
how individuals or communities may check
the ravages to a considerable degree, and
materially better the situation.
Bulletin II on analyses of commercial
fertilizers is likewise in press. 1t contains
analyses of 40 fertilizers, those of over 100
brands for five years past, a discussion of
values, selection, etc. 1t ought to prove
helpful to the buyer of this class of goods
Either or both of these bulletins will be
sent without charge to any Vermont ad-
dress on application. If the applicant de-
sires to receive all future issues of station
bulletins and reports without charge and
without further notice, he should ask in
addition that his name be placed on the
station mailing list. A postal card stating
desires, addressed Experiment Station,
Burlington, VT, is sufficient.

Lost $50 Men and Z Guns.

British Force Ambushed by the Beers
who Capture the BIOemronteIn
Water Works.
The comparative quiet which has pre-
vailed in the several theatres of war in
South Africa was broken Monday by de-
spatch given out by the British war office,
in which Gen. Roberts announced that
Col. Broadwood's command, at Thabanchu
40 miles east of Bloemfontein, was threat
ened by two Boer columns, and that he
would probably withdraw to the Bloemfon-
tein water works, II miles distant from
Bloemfonten. A detachment of British
mounted infantry was guarding the works
and reinforcements were at once despatch
ed to support Broadwood. Broadwood
reached the works early Monday morning
and was attacked by the enemy on three
sides. While the artillery and wagons
were crossing a small stream the concealed
Beers opened deadly fire. The remainder
of Broadwood's force crossed in safety and
reformed. The reported loss was $50 men
and seven guns. Heavy reinforcements
finally came TO Broadwood's support.
The main Britt h army is still resting at
Bloemfontein, accommodating supplies and
cautiously and carefully preparing for the
movement toward Pretoria. Inaccurate
published estimates of the size of Gen.
Roberts's command at Bloemfonten two
weeks ago fixed il at from 45, 900 TO So
600. When the general British advance
toward Pretoria begins along the several
lines of attack it is surmsed that from
10000 to 1870, 900 British troops will par
tcipate. This movement will not take
place until the long British lines of COM
munication are reasonably safe from inter-
ruption by the mobile Beers. The latter
are taking advantage of the pause in Gen.
Roberts's plan of campaign by strengthen
ing their fords and mountain passes.
The main Boer force at Kroonstad has
advanced TO Smaldeel, 90 miles south, a
force has occupied Paardeberg, between
Bloemfontein and Kimberley, 5000 are as
sembled between Fourteen Streams and
Chirstana, despatch from Ladysmith says
that strong column of burghers is oper-
ating within IL miles of Buffers head
quarters, while from Boer sources comes
the report that Col. Plumer's Mafeking re-
lief column has again been repulsed by the
Transvaal forces.
A cable received in London Wednesday
from Bloemfontein says the Beers were ad-
vancing on Tuesday from the north and
east, and that the British force was retir-
ing under orders. 1t was also reported
that the Beers had declared their intention
of "fghting the decisive battle of the
war" in the Orange Free State.

The Scientific American OF March II
/ contained an interesting article on the new
Davenport, Rock Island and Northwestern
railroad, connecting Clinton and Daveu-
port, Iowa, with Rock Island and Moline,
Ill. Illustrations were given of the Daven-
port bridge, the latest great crossing of the
Mississippi, structure in the same class
with the Bismarck bridge of the Union
Pacific railroad, and the Eads and Mer-
chant bridges at ST. Louis. The chief en-
| gineer of this railroad is Charles f. Dear
born, son of Mrs. Harriet Dearborn of
Brattleboro. One of the daily papers of
Davenport contained March % the follow
ing announcement of an important change
by Mr.. Dearborn:
1t has been announced that Chief Engi-
neer c. E. Dearborn of the Davenport,
Rock Island and Northwestern Railway
company has resigned, his resignation to
become effective April l. The news is
somewhat of a surprise to his many friends
in this city and is regretted by the officials
of the road.
Mr. Dearborn will go East to accept a
position with the Pittsburg and Ohio Val
ley Railway company, as chief engineer.
The resignation came rather as a surprise,
for while it was known along about the
first of the year that he contemplated such
a move it was thought that with the work
on hand in connection with the construc-
ton of the line from this city to Peoria, it
would be indefinitely postponed.
In accepting the new position Mr.. Dear
| born does not sever his connection with
the people who are interested in the d. r.
l. & n. W., as the road with which he is
going is also under their control, being
more directly connected with the AMER
can Steel and Wire company.
Mr.. Dearborn will be able between this
time and the first of the month to put mat
tiers in such shape that his successor can
take hold where he left off without any Sc
rious drawback, and can carry on the work
The change, we are assured by the officials
of the company will have no effect what
ever in relation to the proposed line to Pc
ori9.
Just who Mr.. Dearborn's successor as
chief engineer will be cannot be said au-
thoritatively at this time, but it is more than
likely that Mr.. Finley, the present division
engineer in charge of the line between this
city and Clinton, will succeed him. Mr..
| Finley is an experienced engineer and has
done much railway construction work.
c. f. Dearborn's headquarters will be in
Pittsburg after April l. 1t is not improb-
able at all that we may have him back here
again in the course of another year if the
contemplated plans of the company are
carried out with regard to future construc-
| ton work.

DENsMoRE FOUND.

Ex-PrOprietOr of the Riverside House
at Ludlow is Traced to Fishers
Island.
The Ludlow Tribune of last week had
the following concerning former resident
of Jamaica, who was fined heavily in
Windsor county for selling liquor at the
Riverside House at Ludlow, of which he
was proprietor:
"When Scion Densmore got G. w.
Goddard to furnish bonds for him on his
liquor charge and then skipped out, he
monkeyed with the wrong man. Mr.. God
dard found out through some means or
other, that Densmore was at Fisher s
Island, little island in Long Island
sound, where it costs dollar to telegraph
from the main land and where the boats
only run every other day more or less.
Sheriff L. B. Moore was sent down to see
Mr.. Densmore and remonstrase with him,
which he did, but when it came to a mat
ter of persuading the gentleman to come
back and take his medicine, he couldn't do
it. 1t seems that Fishers Island is the
property of two men, for one of whom a
brother or brother-in-law of Densmore
works, and when Sheriff Moore was dis
covered approaching them from the north,
the brother went to the local justice OF
peace and complained on Densmore for
some imaginery offence and caused his ar
rest, and of course, being under arrest he
could not be taken to Vermont by the Off.
Ger. At this point Goddard himself put in
an appearance and while he was unable to
bring back the wanderer, he settled up
with him satisfactorily for the present. II
Mr.. Densmore lives up to his agreement
all is we'll. If he doesn't there will be
more to this little game of tag. Mr.. God.
dard is man who will not spare time mol
money to get man who intends to beat
him. Sheriff Moore and Mr.. Goddard re
turned here Saturday night"
