The question of the purchase of the
Vermont Valley railroad by the Connecti-
cut River road will come up at the annual
meeting of the stockholders OF the latter
road to be held Wednesday at II 80 at the
offices in Springfield, Mass. The pur-
chase would include the Sullivan County
road, holding of the Vermont Valley.
The Connecticut River road holds a lease
on the Vermont Valley road at the pres
ent time, and this will expire some time
this year. The action will be in the line
of protection, as it is feared that other
wise the road would pass out of the con-
troll OF the Connecticut River road and
hence the Boston and Maine, which leases
1t. The action proposed would give the
Boston and Maine a continuous line from
Springfield to Windsor, with the exception
of the distance between South Vernon
and Brattleboro, where the Central YER
mont tracks are used.

RECONSIDERATION of the First conerega'
tional Church.

The church was built in 1851, recon-
secrated in 1866 and in 1888 and for the
third time on Sept. 10, 1905.
At the morning service in June, Mr.
Stocking stated that the church needed
repairing inside and out, and in Is
minutes raised some 1880, to which the
ladies union added 5000. A committee
was chosen, consisting of c. w. Osgood
DR.. Kirkland, and ]. c. Day The house
was closed July / and work began at
once. During July and August the con-
gregation worshipped in Union hall three
Sundays, then united with the Baptist
church two Sundays, and used the Uni
versalist church three Sundays. The
outside of the house was painted, the
audience room refrescoed, a new carpet
laid, the wood work dressed over, addi-
tional lights put in the ceiling, and a
system of ventilation installed with an
electric fan in the loft Down stairs the
large vestry, ladies parlor, and the small
rooms were thoroughly renovated. The
church has a seating capacity of 500.
At the rededication service Sunday
morning, it was stated that the amount
expended would be $4,000; that individual
gifts had been made of four collection
plates, by the grandchildren and children,
in memory of the late Mr.. and Mrs Otis
b. Arms, Edward Arms and Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry F. King; a kneeling stool by
the Junior auxiliary of the Mount Kilburn
Missionary society; two additional pulpit
deacons' chairs by one of the deacons, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Stocking a Bible.
Mr.. Stocking stated that during his two
years ministry here he had given the right
hand of fellowship to 20, making the
membership of the church now an even
300.
In the evening an appreciative and at
tentive audience filed the house to listen
to Mr.. Stockings last sermon here. He
took for his text the first clause of Math.
10: A. The Baptist, Methodist and Uni
versalist churches joined giving up their
service, thus showing their appreciation
of Mr.. Stocking. His closing remarks
were of a personal nature, first for him
self, the pleasure and help he had en-
joyed during the two short years, for
here was his first pastorate, here he
brought his bride to his first home, and
here a daughter came to the home. He
said that although they were to go away
they should leave a large part of them
selves here.
He spoke words of appreciation to those
not members of his congregation, who
had honored him with their presence and
addressing his own people, he said, land
now my own people, what shall say to
your And with words so full of feeling
that it moistened the eye, he spoke of
their thoughtfulness and loving kindness
in many ways expressed, and the tender
regard he should always have for them.
