ORIGIN OF, PARISHES.
They Were Founded In 66S by the
Archbishop of Canterbury.

They Were Founded In 06S by the
Archbishop OF Canterbury.
Theodore, archbishop of Canterbury
in 66S, is regarded as the founder of
the parochinl system. Parishes were
originally measured by and made to
follow the lines of existing townships,
a parish being, in short, the township
In its ecclesiastical character. Where
q township was too small to require
or to support separate church and
priest two or more townships were
united to form one parish.
In other cases the clergy Of immortal
churches built by the mobiles had no
Jurisdiction over a parish extending to
the limits of their lords estate. Thus
no legislative act was needed, and par
ishes were mapped out gradually, as
the multiplication of churches and cler-
gy, which Theodore did so much to eff
feet, made it desirable to define clearly
the areas within which the clergy had
to work. 1t was not till long after
Theodore's death-Green says about
tho middle of the eighth century-that
this division of the country into par
ishes was completed, = London Tele-

The St. Adams Messenger says:
- Sunless something unexpected
happens in the next eighteen months,
The Woodstock Spirit of the Age
will find it hard work to persuade
anybody that the state needs an
other rousing election, shake-up
and an awakening similar to the pro
.gramme of 1902"
Like The Messenger; The Age dis
claims any desire to see another troP-
ical revolstuiorr in This part OF New
Ensland; it npsets all calculations
and the steady-going voter has to
use his head to find where his
ballot will do the state and nation
the most good. All this, again, is
unwelcome of course, unless there
are too ominous signs that the ad-
ministration of state affairs is settling
back into the old rut, and that on the
strength of a great national victory
the Republican machine is again as
suming that it owns the state, body
and soul, and is under the direct
guidance of divine providence and
can do no wrong. Really there have
been indications that the machine
was getting careless and peevish;
hence The Ages remark to which
the St. Adams contemporary takes
exception.

"Mr. Hawkins, I see you come here

New York Letter.
New York, Jan. l, 'o5.

NOW lOlhj Juh' - w.
New York opened tie New Year
with a roar, ringing of bells and I'M
limited ammunition for noise-mak-
ing. Down at Trinity church the
chimes rang to thousands on the
streets who heard nothing but their
own tin whistles and COW bells.
Up town, at AID street and Broad
way, the Times dedicated its new
3l-story building with fireworks,
more COW bells, and music by the
band. Manhattan now and then puts
up building little higher than
anything else in the neighborhood,
and just at present the Times new
home tops everything.
The city doesn't much more than
begin to get used to its new subway
before it is discovered that more
tubes are needed-up and down and
across the island. On the day the
subway was opened last fall $4,000
more people rode in the elevated
trains than on the corresponding day
last year, and so it goes in this grow
ing metropolis.
Vermont may have had its share
of snow by this time, but up to q
week ago the city and vicinity, Con,
necticut and Massachusetts have been
busy shoveling, whilo among the
Green Mountains the lack Of sled
ding has kept everything at stand
still in some directions. 1t was a
queer exchange, this storm business,
and for days down here it kept thou
sands of men and teams busy NOV
ing snow from under foot, piling ii
up in vacant lots or dumping it into
rivers. Vermont saves money by
letting her snow stay where il
falls.

Since the Ring Term Began

Since the ring went into office
some twelve long years ago, thou
sand wonderful events have hap
pened here below. Two thousand
little boys who now are voting men
and who will vote election day were
little children then.
The good old Republican theory of
equal rights to man has been forgot
ten since the time when the ring
masters term began. The old party
ship iswrecked for many a day UNI
less men practice what they preach
in an official way. Such men as
Lincoln and several that know, if
they could have any dealings with
this ring today would stand no show.
No man owns any Office, it is a
public trust, the people are the SOW
ereigns and they elect the man, al
though they've had but little chance
since the ring term began. They
seem insatiate for public pap and
pie since they refuse to give up and
neither will they die.
1t would take too long, my honest
friends, to tell you all that's trans
pired since the ring was first elected
and their predecessors fired, and now
| will ask all good party men, and
every voting man to say twelve
years is long enough since the ring
