Planning for July 4.

About so people met in Festival hall
Tuesday evening in response to a call
for a public meeting to determine
what could be done in the way of a
celebration on the Fourth of July.
James F. Hooker was elected chair
man and NJ. j. Moran clerk. The
chairman then called on e. G. Frost
for a statement of his idea of what
ought to be done and Mr.. Frost moved
that a committee of five ne appointed
to raise funds and to arrange for such
a celebration as the funds raised
would warrant. He stated that about
$1,000 was raised for the celebration in
Bellows Falls last year, and explained
that Bellows Falls would probably
help Brattleboro in a celebration this
year as Brattleboro assisted Bellows
Falls last year with that understand
ing. A good way to celebrate he said
was to have an exhibition by the fire
department in the forenoon, to be fol
lowed in the afternoon with races on
the Valley Fair track and in the even
ing with fireworks. A committee was
elected consisting of w. H. Bracket,
M. j. Moran, r. G. Bacon, H. M. Wood
and G. H. Thompson.

Changes on the Star Routes.

F. w. Vale of the contract branch
of the post office department has been
in Brattleboro arranging matters relat-
ing to the letting of contracts for the
star routes of stage lines running from
here. Some important changes will
go into effect during July. The con-
tracts will be let only to persons liv-
ing on or near to the lines. This will
do away with speculation which has
brought a large number of routes at
extremely low rates into the hands
of a few professional bidders. The
other change. which is practically an
extension of the free delivery system,
provides that any person living on or
near the route and not within the cor
porate limits of any town or within
so rods of any post Office, may have
his mail deposited in a box on the
line of the route by the carrier. 1t
will be necessary for the person Sc
curing this service to make applica-
ton for it to his present postmaster.
The box should be located by the road
side so that the carrier can deposit
mail therein without leaving his We

FIRE IN WEST CHESTERFIELD.
o. r. Farr's Mill Burned, Causing Loss
Of $4ooo-HeIp Summoned from
Brattleboro

o. r. Farr's Mill Burned, Causing Loss
of $4oOo-Help Summoned from
Brattleboro.
Olin r. Fairs saw mill. finishing
shop and a large quantity of lumber
in West Chesterfield, n. H., were burn
ed yesterday afternoon, causing a loss
of about $4,000. The property was in
sured for $4,000 through the agency
of c. f. r. Jenne of Brattleboro.
A call for assistance was sent to
Brattleboro and steamer No. re-
sponded with 500 feet of hose and rem
dered valuable service in saving ad-
jacent buildings. The fire started in
the boiler room and was discovered by
Mr.. Farr about 2.30 o'clock. The fire
man had gone out for a few minutes
and it is supposed that during his alb
sence the fire under the boiler blew
open the fire box doors and scattered
firebrands in the midst of shavings
and dust. As soon as the fire was dis
covered an attempt was made to start
the steam pump, but the main drive
belt had been burned off so that it
was impossible to do so. Assistance
was then summoned from Brattleboro.
When the steamer arrived the mill
was in ashes and large lumber piles
were burning. Citizens hall, which
stood directly across the road from the
fire, was in great danger, as was also
the church, which stood next the hall
The church shed caught fire twice, but
the flames were promptly extinguish-
ed. There was about 100000 feet of
lumber in the yard, some of which
was finished, and it is estimated that
about one third of it was burned.
The steamer played on the ruins until
about $50 o'clock. Mr.. Farr employed
about 10 hands. He expects to re-
build. Mr.. Farr was burned about the
face and hands, but his injuries are
not serious.

In Memory of Miss Annie L. erout

Last Saturday afternoon the Bird
club went to West Brattleboro to visit
the grave of Miss Annie L. Grout, their
former secretary, who died last March.
On their way they called upon Rev.
Lewis Grout, the aged father of Miss
Annie, who served refreshments of
coffee and waters and invited them
into Miss Annie's flower grader and
explained the foreign and native
plants, and gave each some beautiful
branches of foreign holly. At the
cemetery the members laid the holly
and other floral tributes upon the
grave of their friend and while they
were doing so a "Vesper" sang his
evening song from the swamp close
by and only those familiar with his
song can know how sweet a Vesper
sparrow can sing, and just at that time
it semed as if he never sang so sweetly
before.
At dusk they returned to West Brat
tleboro and by request stopped again
at Mr.. CIRCUITS, where he had large
and handsome bouquets from his
daughters garden arranged for each
one present.
In parting Mr.. Grout said some very
beautiful and everto-be-forgotten
words to the club and all left with
the aged missionary's blessing and un-
uttered benediction, feeling that each
had been uplifted by coming in touch
with such a grand life, representing
as he does in his deep affliction, a
spirit of perfect resignation to Gods
will.

this address being a most interesting
and helpful one, the subject being
Your Kingdom and a Timely Call
to Reign
Tuesday evening the regular gradu-
ating exercises were held in the Con-
gregational church. The church was
beautifully decorated with laurel,
snowballs and red peonies, thus taste
fully combining the class colors, red
and white
There was a very large attendance,
and almost every seat in the house
was filed, and the audience was de-
lightfully entertained before and after
the address by Leitsinger's orchestra
The address, this year a new de-
parture for the academy was given
by the Rev. j. Walter Sylvester of the
First Congregational church of Albany,
y. Y. The subject was The Leader
ship for Tomorrow" Seldom has such
an address been listened TO here Mr..
Sylvester is a speaker of rare elo-
quence and showed a mastery of his
subject which was fully appreciated.
Following the address came the pre-
sentatiOn of diplomas by Principal

the graduates: Mary Ellen Clark. Lola

Ten of the II town schools helped to
fiji out an enjoyable program at
Academy hall on the afternoon of
June 7. The pupils from the other
schools were prevented from coming
by illness. When all is so good it
is difficult to choose any thing that is
best, but the motion song by II young
girls in costume from Miss HIS
school was exceptionally fine. The
children showed careful drilling in
speaking and the exhibition of draw
ing and written work done in the diff
ferent schools was very creditable to
all. Both teachers and pupils showed
enthusiasm and helpfulness. and
agreed that these occasional town raj
lies promoted interest and more sue
cessful work in the schools.
