DECIDES TO RElIAIN.

Rev. j. Edward Wright, DID,, is
to remain as pastor Of the Church of
the Messiah The announcement was
made by Doctor Wright at the regular
morning service Sunday, that he had
sent to the parish committee on the
day previous a withdrawal of his res
ignation and an acceptance of the
latest proposition from the commit
tee He stated that he had decided on
this course only after being urged by
the main committee and second COM
mitee, supported by the results of a
canvass of the parish on the question.
The new agreement is such that the
pastor is to have an assistant with
such financial arrangements as will
make the extra expense not over bur-
densome for the parish. 1t is under
stood that the assistant will be a
young man and that the labors of the
parish will be so divided that Doctor
Wright can have more time for home
missionary work, both inside and out
side of the parish proper.
This action of Doctor Wright in de-
Gliding to remain is one in which the
whole city of Montpelier has cause to
rejoice. In his thirty. four years
service in his present pastorate he has
become power for good in the whole
community and even outside, which
Montpelier could i'll afford to lose.
With an assistant in his regular work
the pastor will be able to do more of
the broader work which he has been
so anxious to do before.

STORY is NOT TRUE.

Tie story of how Senator Proctor
was arrested and fined for shooting a
coon on Sunday at Newport, N. H.,
which appeared in recent issue of a
New Hampshire paper and was extern
sively copied by Vermont papers, is
now denied. The Burlington Free
Press of on Saturday is authority for
the denial, and says;
Those who know Senator Redfeld
Proctor do not need to be told that
he never hunts Oh Sunday, or that the
report sent out from Newport, N. H.,
in relation to paying fine for killing
a raccoon on the Sabbath did him a
great injustice. AS matter of fact
Senator Proctor, while out hunting
III company with his grandson on Sat
urday afternoon, shot raccoon, not
dreaming that there was law pro-
tecting that animal, and in view of
the manner in which the animal is
viewed in most States this supposi-
zion can hardly be regarded as strange
Indeed consultation of the game laws
of all the States in the Union shows
that the Granite State is the only
one in which there is closed season
for racooons After the raccoon had
been bagged he learned of the law,
and at the first opportunity he in
formed on himself to the commission
er and paid the penalty without wait
ing for apprehension by any repre-
sentative of the law

Goddard Seminary succeeded in
Strengthening Brigham Academy in the
first football game of the season on
Friday afternoon, on the formers
grounds. Two fifteen minute halves
were played and before the first half
was finished the score had piled up,
81 to 0.
Bakersfield took the kick off and
Goddard pushed the pig skin across
the line after about five rushes, a
thirty yard run by Durham, and fif-
teen yard sprint by Milne, closing a
greater share of the distance.
Throughout the the game it was the
same story, the backs wading through
the line and ciroling the ends to their
hearts content until at the end Of
the second half the score was SO to 0.
Berry, Goddard's quarter back, ran
the team in good shape and seems to
make a good general The back field
has been strengthened by the aoqui-
sition of Alex Milne, the former cap
tain Of the Barre Defenders, who is
taking studies at Goddard's new even
ing school. Dunham, the other half
back, and captain of the team, is a
good player and Cornell at full shows

backs look pretty strong from the side
