| village took on the restful calm of a re-
/ treat for nervous invalids. In the eve
ming the street lights were shut off so
! that the few lonesome rockets wandering
ssyward might be distinctly visible but
the glare OF the entire illumination was
hardly up TO candle-power and could be
safely recommended for sore ewes. On
the whole the excitement was not intense
and, as one citizen aptly put il. II il were
as comparatively quiet Sundays the death
ly stiffness would be uncomfortable.
press despatch from Manchester
under date of July says: zone OF the
largest real estate deals ever made in town
was closed today. A. NJ. Gilbert of Chi
cago has purchased the farms of Fred
Fish, Edgar Wilcox and the two large
farms Of the Walker brothers and Will
erect fine cottage on the bluff east of the
cascades. His object in purchasing the
large quantity Of land is for the purpose OF
damming the Battenkill river so as to
overflow several hundred acres of meadow
land, making quite a lake. Mr.. Gilbert
expects to expend many thousands of dol
lars and Manchester people are greatly
pleased, for il will add much to the beauty
OF the place. Mr.. Gilbert is a son of the
late Mrs. A. A. Atwood and a brother-in-
law Of Hon. VIM. II. Dubois. He is well
known in Randolph, where he has been
frequent visitor, and his son, HAIRY n.
Gilbert some years ago attended school
here.
The nigh horse in the span OF bays that
draw the ice cart has made itself generally
well known throughout the village by a
course of conduct that would seem to in
dieate the possession of temper far from
lovely Resignation is evidently not in
that animals vocabulary, and i has in
fact become a chronic kicker. 1t rebels
against fate, in the shape OF the ice cart,
and every now and then the bitterness of
thought, engendered by hatred Of its lot
and disgust OF life, forces from the horse
vicious squeal and flourish OF its hind
hoofs in the air. The ebullition over, it
sinks again to the level OF passive endur-
ance and drags its heavy burden until the
next rising tide Of anger calls for another
burst OF equine profanity and spasmodic
demonstration with the heels. That the
animal is in some such state OF mind is
reasonable superstition. There are many
bipeds who feel occasionally just the way
that quadruped acts, but fortunately lind
Ii polite to dissemble their emotions or
the air would be so full OF heels as TO be
practically useless for breathing purposes.

Chapter of Missionary Adventures.

Under the above head, the Rev. DR.
james l.. Barton, corresponding secretary
/ of the American Board of Foreign Mis-
sions writes to the Woman's Home
Companion for June and gives the follow
! ing account OF the Rev. Cyrus Hamlin,
| father of Mrs. G. +. Laid of Randolph,
and at one time president OF Middlebury
college:
ITO trace a little more clearly the story
of one missionary we will take the case
of Cyrus Hamlin. who was born in a
country town of Maine. He was handi-
capped by being small of stature, slight
and frail, but by the time he had secured
an education at Bowdoin college and
Andoyer Theological seminary ii began
to be evident that the slender boy had
an unusual amount of energy and pluck.
"ln the course of events he was sent to
Constantinople in 1899 as a missionary,
arriving al the time of a great politicaI
upheaval in the empire. Christians were
turned out of employment and every
effort made to drive them to recantation.
Hamlin, with his inventive Yankee genius,
introduced industries among them SO
that they prospered more than ever.
1.-THE Crimean war broke out, and the
sick and wounded British soldiers were
lying in inadequately furnished hospitals,
unprovided for and dying by hundreds.
The missionary saw they were fed with
bread unfit for English men seriously i'll.
He made a contract to provide wholesome
bread for the hospitals and went to work
at once to construct bakeries ON large
scale By this process $4,000 profit
accrued to the contractor and was used
TO erect churches in Turkey.
s'In the meantime Mr.. Hamlin had been
conducting a school for boys which pros
pered in spite of the most strenuous
opposition. In 1859 a site for proposed
g,tl1 hon n
conflict between the Turkish government
and its sympathiZers on one side and the
still slight, but mature, farmer boy from
Maine on the other. So irritated was
the Sultan by the Yankee persistence of
the education that he demanded one day
''When will that man Hamlin die ~
But though this amounted TO an order
for his assassination. Mr.. Hamlin would
neither flee nor give up his college.
"In 1850 a second site was purchased,
and after countless conflicts a building
costing 100000 was erected: college work
beginning MAY, 1871. Contrary to every
expectation the Sultan granted an impe-
rial trade which makes it an American
instituted although within the bounds
OF the Turkish empire, the first Of its
kind in all the world.
This college, called Robert college,
educated men who set Bulgaria free and
numbers among its graduates leading
men in the Bulgarian, Greek and Armen-
ian nations. In spite OF threats OF
assassination, positions Of actual peril ana
a life Of activity, its founder, Rev. Cyrus
Hamln, ID. D., LII. D., died some Is
months ago in Lexington, Mass, in his
Goth year.
Mr.. Hamlins son-in-law, Rev. DR..
Washburne, who is now in this country
on leave OF absence and with Mrs
Washburne visited here recently, is the
present president of Robert college.

at the opening. but the offerings on a much
lighter scale than the preceding day. In the late

prevailing in the inside market. Northern Securi-
