A Queens Cradle.

The recent sale OF relies Of Mary

ill-fated queen which nave survived
20 our time and which are most jcal-
ousiy treasured. IL Is not long since n
harp which had once been hers excited
keen competition In Edinburgh and
was purchased by the Antiquarian
museum authorities for st.250. OF this
harp Miss Strickland tells m interest

1903, Mary. hen n adam girl or 81,
offered her harp rs n prize TO h mu-
slcian who could play most skillfully
and swcctly on 81, and when the verdict
was given in favor OF Miss Beatrix
Carolyn OF Banchory tho young queen
presented b prize to her with the
pretty compliment: You alone are
worthy to possess the harp you touch
so well"
The very cradle In which James VS.
lovely and luckless" child was rocked
as an infant Is still In existence, For
nearly n century this cradle OF carved
oak was completely lost TO sight, and
Il was naturally assumed that IL had

Severe Storm In Franklin County.

A heavy storm which swept over north
western Vermont for "a hours, ending
Sunday afternoon, caused much damage
in st. Adams, and in the country districts
At times the rain fell as II from a cloud
burst and the cellars and Easements OF
stores and residences in st. Adams were
flooded. The streets were badly washed
out, and the telephone system was injured
by lightning. which burned out a large
number of instruments. Stevens brook,
a small stream which runs through the
south and west parts Of the city, became
raging torrent, and attained the width
OF river. The water in the stream rose
at the rate OF three feet an hour, and
reached the highest point known for So
years. On the Burlington and Iamoille
branch OF the Central Vermont railroad
the roadbed near Cambridge Junction was
washed out, and trains were Cancelled IN
til Monday. A washout also occurred on
the Richford branch of the Central YER
mont, but the track was placed in run
ming order Sunday night The country
roads in Franklin county were severely
washed, and crops throughout that sec
ton were badly damaged.

The Sunday evening union services of
the Congregational and Methodist
churches are proving very interesting and
popular, without any attempt at the sem
sational which intelligent people usually
detest Last Sunday evening the service
was held in the Congregational church.
The pastor presided and led in the de-
votional service. The choir rendered sew
eral appropriate patriotic selections and
DR.. Charlton preached strong patriotic
sermon, on the text, Proclaim ye liberty
throughout the land to all the inhabitants
thereof" Next Sunday evening the SER
vice will be held in the Methodist church
and Rev. Mr.. King Of the Congregational
church will preach. This is as 1t ought
to be in these little churches. Such fra
ternal manifestations are easily recogniz-
ed as Christian. All the little narrow
sectarian lines are obliterated.
