Slow Reading.

II you We're to travel across an interest
ing land. would you prefer to go through
on limited express. or to walk through
with plenty of time for side excursions
and sight seeing? And yet-Surely the
moral is obvious. Some young readers
lind in a good book about a dozen times
as much treasure as others carry away
from it; and you are fortunate If you
are like a young girl who said: II can't
read a good book fast. | can't under
stand it If | read it fast" She is likely
to become well read in spite of herself.
How many generations of men have been
at work upon Shakspere, Dante, and
Homer, without any danger of exhaust
ing the mine of wealth these offer And
the Bible!-it is as eXhaustless as eter-
nifty. No one ever will come to the end
of the riches in that great library of
every species of literature. Every wise
man who has ever made a list of the
greatest books in the world has put the
Bible first. 1t is said that young people
are reading the Bible less than they once

To Mark Graves of Revolutionary Soldiers.

At the last annual meeting Of the YER
mont Society. Sons of the American Rev
olution. held at St Adams November IL,
a resolution was adopted authorizing an
investigation which should disclose, as
far as it might be possible to learn, the
names Of Revolutionary soldiers buried in
Vermont
Both patriotic sentiment and a desire
to enrich the annals of the carly history
Of our state are motives sufficiently strong
to warrant an earnest effort on the part
of Nermonters Of this generation to seek
to preserve the memory Of the soldiers
Of the War for Independence whose last
years were lived i'm our own common
wealth Every year that passes makes
the gathering Of such information more
difficult, and II "A systematic effort Of this
nature is to be attempted it ought no
longer to be deylaYed.
The aid of the readers of this paper is
requested in obtaining the knowledge de-
sired. Any information that can be
CLEANED relative to the names of Revou
tiunary soldiers known to have been buried
in Vermont, and, II possible, the places
of burial. will be thankfully received by
the secretary Of the 'ermont Society,
Sons of the American K 'olution. and at
a later date it will be con led and made
public.

The trial of Senator Charles H. Dietrich

Friday when the United States Circuit
Court, Judge Van Devanter presiding, de-
cided that Dietrich was not Senator at

to be precedent Upon this decision Dis
trict Attorney Summers entered a nolle in
other cases against the Senator, with the
statement that the construction placed on
the law of the court precluded further
proceedings against either Senator Die
trich or Postmaster Fisher, both Of whom
were discharged. The opinion declares
that a man elected to Congress does not

at the bar of the house to which he has
been elected. Former Congressman
