Tie Fire and the Fire Department.

Our fire ladies put up good
Gght last Sunday; they deserve
praise for their zeal and courage and
success in keeping the fire within
the four walls of the Catholic church.
One cannot think without shudder,
however, of what would have hap
peued if there had been strong
wind instead of. a Sabbath calm.
Tie ncighboring houses wonld have
gone like chaff; and one can guess
the rest. The town narrowly es-
capped great calamity; and hence
The townspeople are asking them
seLyes now whether their fire depart
ment showed the efficiency expected
and desired. The plain facts are
that it was twenty-five minutes from
the time the alarm-bell rang till the
water was playing in force over the
rool. There was twenty minutes OF
pandenonium; the coupler was not
on hand, some screamed to carry
the water inside, some insisted
or soaking the roof. Meanwhile
a little water in the right place
fifteen or even twenty minutes after
the alarm would probably have
checked the fire.
There has been some mysterious
shaking of heads and limitations
that the water pressure was made
quate; but this, as we are informed,
is positively not true. There was
pressure enough and water enough
from the beginning. It was not the
water that lacked head. Our FIRE

HENRY Il. ToTMAN,
SOUTH PoMFRET, VERMONT
Deer Broke Ito Neck.

A doe, three or four years old,
ran across the railroad track and up
the steep gravel bank at "The Hour
Glass;" north of Windsor village,
recently, just before the arrival of
the accommodation train moving
south. When near the top Of. the
bank the animal slipped, and falling
backward, broke its neck. George
T. Winn, game warden, was noti-
fled and had the deer taken to- Jarvis
market to await instructions from
the state fish and game commissioner
as to its final disposal. II e,

I he Vermont School for Health
instruction,

We have received the first bulletin
Of volume four, issued by the Yer
mont state board of health. 1t con-
tains the addresses and papers pre-
s-nted before the annual school of
instruction for health officers held
in Burlington last June. The open
ing remarks by the president of the
board, Dr.. Caverly, give an excel
lent exposition of the present condi.
ton of the health organization of
Vermont. He adds some words of
admonition. to local health officers
who are not yet all that could be
wished, either in knowledge or zeal.
The addresses which follow of his
honor the mayor and his exccllency
the governor are examples OF ex.
tamporized infelicity covering five
p ges. They show good will, but lit
erature and sanitary science could
bear their loss. There are three for
nal papers by Hon. Joel c. Baker,
Mr.. H. BIodgett and DIR. c. L.
Wilbur. They are creditable and in
structive documents, and ought to
be helpful to local health officers.
The "Bulletin" contains, also, some
news and good many items of
sanitary interest. In future issues
the remaining papers and documents
Of the July meeting will be pub
lished.
We learn from DR.. Caverlv that
about two.thirds OF the local health
health officers of the state were pres.
ent.
The present "Bulletin" is a good
state document. 1t ought, how :,
ever, to publish list Of the off,
GERS who attended the school, and
perhaps list of those vile did not.
Let the towns know who have Off
GERS that appreciate their advantages.
We know that Woodstock does not
fail in its duty.
There should also be in the "Bul-
letin' some objective account Of the
proceedings of the school-where its
sessions were held and when and
for how long. The type used in
immortalizing the addresses of well
come could have been put to good
use in giving the public some human
details that would make the school
seem like real pedagoglc institution
and not simply pulpit in hall
used for some set addresses.

wood should be held in grateful
remembrance for her good literary
work and for the patriotic service
she did in starting a movement to
restore Mt. Vernon. AT the time of
our Civil war it was in a ruinous
condition. Mrs. Sherwood gave
her first parlor lectures to earn mon.
'ey for this cause, and did not cease
to work tor it until she aroused the
interest of women in many states
Because of her efforts the home of
George Washington was made a
model country seat. When Mrs.
Sherwood visited Woodstock few
years ago she gave her delightful
lecture on "The Queens Jubilee"
for the benefit Of St. James church
and was introduced by Mr.. O. p
Chandler, who forty years before
had presented her father, Hon
James Wilson, to Vermont audi
ence in a political campaign.

Ephraim was a man of Importance
being an elder in the Baptist Church
and much given to exhortation, prayer
and song, says writer in Lippincotts.
His cabin was the scene of many a
revival" and the powerful prayers
offered by Ephraim on these occasions
were the wonder and admiration of
the colored population.
With all his religious ardor, how
ever, there were times when the pleas
ures of the world appealed strongly
to him. Seeing him approach one
morning with downcast eyes and an
air of general detection, Col. Snead
accosted him thus:
Hello, Eph.! you look as if you
were going to your own funeral. What's
the matter? ?"

but they ought to know that an elder

in anything so worldly as dancing"
replied the colonel with a twinkle in
his eye, we'll knowing that Eph.'s be-
setting sin was not tripping the light
fantastic.
Il hopes so, kunnel, 1 hopes So" re-
joined Eph. in tone of utter despair
as he trudged on towards the town.
Late the same afternoon Col Snead
heard a voice singing Justify us gwine

Eph., he asked.
How did the trial go, Eph. ?'
