PRISON DIRECTORS PROTEST.
They Charge Unfairness In Open
Letter to Goxernor.

John N. Woodfin of Rutland and A.
e. Cudworth of South Londonderry,
members of the present board of
prison directors, answer very en-
phaticaly, in an open letter to Gov
ernor Bell this morning, the charges
and insinuations in the recent report
of the joint legislative investigating
committee directly affecting them
They claim gross unfairness and an
evident intent to mislead on the part
of the committee. They answer each
charge and insinuation in detail,
substantially as was done by Mr..
Woodfn last week, and uphold the
superintendents of both the institu-
tions in question. They declare that
the institutions have been managed
in businesslike way and that they
have lived up to the law in every par
ticular.
The members Of the board of direc-
tors met at the house of correction
yesterday afternoon and organized
as follows: Chairman, ]. N. Woodfin;
secretary, A. e. Cudworth. Judge F.
B. Pier of Jamaica, the newly ap-
pointed member, who succeeds Marsh
o. Perkins of Windsor, was present
Judge Pier was shown through the

quaint himself with the prison and
the methods of conducting it.

Gov. Bell at Saxtons River.

A reception and banquet In h0nor
of Gov. Bell We're given at the Sax
tons River hotel Friday afternoon
and evening, Dec. 16, Mr.. Bell and
family having been in Bellows Falls
attending the state grange conven-
ton. The governor addressed the
students of Vermont academy in the
chapel Saturday morning. His ideas
of what boys and girls should be
taught included loyalty to state and
country, love of home, self help, self
denial and discipline and content
ment. He advocated the teaching of
agriculture in the schools, as valuable
whatever the life work may be, the
work of raising plants and animals
requiring patience, enlarging our
ideas and developing the right kind of
manhood. Agriculture, to be success
full must be studied with pride, like
other professions. Farmers in past
years have not taken pride enough.
but have paid more attention to the
boy or girl who inclined to select
some other profession. The great
success in agriculture is in UNDER
standing the business and in paying
attention to details. In choosing a
life work, choose something you like
and have a taste for, dignity your
occupation and do your best as well
rs you know how.

'Thas Night When the
Lord Was Born.


he following interest," apart
beauty Of Rev. A Hough former Of
the Methodist church In Hratteboro)
1t was not in the glow of the noontide high
Or the tender grace of morn,
But shadows were over the earth and sky
Twas night when the Lord was born.
This is ever the way God moulds His deeds,
In silence and out of sight;
They hide in the dark like the precious seeds,
Then suddenly rise in light.
So wherever night with shadowy wing
Folds darky DER our way,
We must listen to hear Gods angels sing,
And watch for-the dawning day.
Let US say when we sit in darkness long,
With an aching heart forlorn,
"It was night when the angels sang their song,
Twas night when the Lord was born"
For all the glad days that have rolled in light
Since the first glad day had birth
Were not half so bright as the one dark night
When the Saviour came to earth.
And at last we shall own in the heavenly cline,
With finished life in view,
That our darkest nights in the path of time
Were the brightest days we knew.
