Description OF the Memorial window
Placed In the New Union Church at
Vernon.
According to Jewish tradition and Rab-
binical teaching, the age of II formed the
decisive epoch in a boys education, and
from which, henceforth he began TO &C.
quire an understanding of the law and
sense of the spiritual life. One of the
most interesting periods in the life of
Christ is that in which at this age, he is
found at Jerus len, in the temple and in the
midst of the doctors aud wise men, hear
ing them, expounding to them questions
which they had not the skill to encounter
or answer, so profound was the wisdom
that impelled the disputant. And it is
more interesting in that there are here
found the first recorded words of the
Lord, in his answer to his mother, chow
is 1t that ye sought me? Wist ye not that
l must be about my Fathers business"
This incident has been made the subject
of window which has been placed in the
chancel of the Union church at Vernon.
The design is adapted from the famous
painting by Hoffman, and faithfully retains
the spirit of that mastery Interpretation.
The window, which was made at the Tiff
fany studios in New York, shows the re-
maIkable skill Of their direction in the
translation to glass of the depth and feel
ing of the coloring of the canvas, and it is a
creditable evidence Of the high degree of
excellence which their work has attained.
The window has been given to the
church as memorial, and in the band
of glass around it which frames the pic
ture, is the dedicatory inscription:
M 81
the windows in this church have been dedicated
by his wife, 1900"

The body of Orwin Bessey, 81, was..fOund
in the Winooski river near North Duxbury
and short distance from his home. The
body was in very decomposed condition,
which would indicate it had been in the
water for several days. Mr.. Bessey's cane
and hat was found nearby. 1t had been
over a week since Mr.. Bessey left home and
no trace of him could be found. He had
been respondent some time. He had been
unable to work for some time and had been
dependent on the town of Duxbury for sup
port. He is survived by a wife. one son
and three daughters living in Connecticut.

THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
The Depot Burglarized.

Mileage Books, Candy and whiskey
Carried Away---statIOn az WestmIn-
st,r also Visited and Valuable Relics
stolen.
The railroad station was again burglar
lied Monday night, but comparatively little
of value was secured as it is the custom of
the station agent not to leave money in
the depot over night. The burglars enter
ed the depot through a window on the west
side and went into the ticket office and
forced open the ticket desk, but there was
nothing there which they could utilize.
The drawers in the agents desk were pull
ed out and ransacked and two mileage
books, nearly new, which had been left
there by their owner, we're taken. A box
containing about 40 Boston & Maine mile
age books was not disturbed. A satchel
in the room adjoining the ticket office was
broken open and the contents strewn about
the room. The burglars visited the main
freight room and opened pail of candy
addressed to A. NJ. Corser and filled their
pockets with the contents. They also car
ried away three or four boxes of candy
owned by A. j. Aver. This freight did
not arrive at the depot until IL o'clock
that night, and the agent was there still
later, so that the burglary must have been
committed during the early hours of Tues
day. The thieves found a package con-
tanning whiskey, and they emptied one
bottle and carried away another.
During the same night the station at
Westminster was broken into and trunk
containing valuable relics was opened and
some of the articles carried away. Both
burglaries were probably committed by the
same persons. Small rolls of paper, partly
burned, indicate the source of the light
which guided the burglars in their depre.
.dations.
