RECENT DEATHS.
Webber.

Rev. DR.. George n Webber of North
ampton, Mass, died at the home of his
youngest daughter in Springfield, Mass,
Friday, aged 81 years. He was a native
of Pomfret, Conn, was graduated from
Amherst College in the class of so and
from Andover Theological Seminary two
years Later. He taught in Amherst one
year and then came to St. Johnsbury as
pastor of the South church. In May,
1853, he married his first wife, who was
Miss Charlotte Fair anks, daughter of
Sir Thaddeus Fairbanks. In November,
1859, Mr.. Weber was called to the
North church of Hartford, Conn, now
called the Park church. and he remained
there until June 1862, when he enlisted
as chaplain of the LIST Connecticut regi-
ment with which he served three months.
He was succeeded in the Hartford church
by DR.. Horace Bushnell. His next
pastorate was over the First Congrega-
tional church of Lowell where he was
situated when in 1867 he was elected to
the chair of moral and mental science in
Middlebury college.
Dr. Webber served Middebury College |
until 1874, when he was called to the
pastorate of the First Presbyterian
church of Troy, N. Y, and it was there
that he was in the prime of his physical

Artificial FreckTss.

The tobacconist started guiltily. On
a table before him lay row Of CT
CARS, row several yards long, which
he was spraying carefully with a
brush dipped in a clear liquid with an
ammoniacal smell.
"But You are a connoisseur," he said
blandly. You know that the little
brown specks on cigar wrapper
mean nothing; hence I don't mind
telling you what I am about.
1.-THE stuff l am spraying on these
weeds is a patent acid that costs 81
an ounce. I mix it with ammonia, and
every drop of the mixture that cast
on a cigar wrapper makes a brown
freckle-a brown freckle exactly like
those natural ones that raindrops and
the sun form on the growing tobacco
leaves Of Cuba.
You see, many smokers ignorantly
imagine that a cigars excellence is
determined by the freckles on its
wrapper. l am pandering to this ig-
norance now. 1t is disgraceful, but 1t
pays'"-Cincinnati Enquirer.

North Church Mems Club.

About so members of the North church
Mems Club were present Friday evening
to hear Col. c. S.. Emery of Newport
who spoke upon the United States
customs service. Previous to the ad.
dress DR.. James L Miner gave two solos
which received deserved applause. Col.
Emery gave most interesting and in
structive address and the audience were
much surprised to learn that his district
receives more loaded cars than any other
district in the United States and also
has nearly 1000 foreign vessels to
examine annually on Lake Memphre
magog. At the close of his address he
answered several questions upon the
details of the service and the inspection
of immigrants, after which coffee and
doughnuts were served.

BradStreet'S Weekly Vermont Trade
Report.

Reports to Bradstreets for the week
show brisk holiday trade has prevailed,
weather conditions having been favor
able and where there has been snow
enough for sleighing, volume of trade
shows up fairly well. Although not as
large as that ola year ago it compares we'll
with that OF two years ago. Retail mer-
chants are placing but few new orders
and the tendency is to wait further de-
velopments. Ability to obtain currency
has tended to create better feeling but
in rural districts it is noticeable farmers
are not buying as freely as would be ex-
pected considering good prices they are
receiving for nearly all lines of produce
Demand for farm produce continues
active and as noted high prices are being
received. Manufacturing industries
closed plants at the end of the week of
December Is, 1907 and they will remain
closed for two weeks. This, beside Civ
ing a holiday for employees will give
owners an opportunity to make long de-
layed repairs which in many cases were
needed badly. There are some manufac-
turing interests that will give but the
briefest possible holiday. Among granite
manufacturers and quarry men there are
conflicting statements regarding volume
of business. Some of the quarries have
large amount of orders on hand and
are rushing work as fast as possible,
while the weather is favorable while
Others report smaller amount of bust
ness. Large percentage of the granite
sheds closed last Saturday and will not
resume work until after New Year.
In view OF the demands of the stone
cutters union, the situation is more or
less unsettled, and but few orders are
placed for other than immediate ship
ment. Definite action on demands of
labor in this respect have not been
announced, but sheds have considerable
work on hand that will be completed
before next March, date of expiration of
present agreements with EMPLOYEES.
Among lumbermen activity is noted in
cutting, and choppers are in woods at
WORK, out 1t is not expected that as
much timber will be cut as last year. In
this connection, reports from builders
through the country at large show
falling OF IN amount of business in this
line tor past month, as compared with
month previous. Maple sugar dealers
report but a small amount of last
seasons crop in storehouses. Prices pre-
vailing still hold up WELL Demand for
sugar tools and apparatus has been very
large, and with outlook that maple
sugar products will continue to demand
and receive high prices, it is anticipated
that number of the maple orchards
which have not been tapped for some
time will be utilized, thereby increasing
product. In this connection Vermont
sugar has commanded leading place
among other sugar producing sections.
although it is expected that Canadian
farmers will work towards betterment
OF their methods in putting up sugar for
market, and as that sugar is looked
upon with favor it will enter as a COM
petltor with other sections more largely
the coming year than formerly. Records
OF state failures for the week show three
with two bankruptcies, one a large
wooden mill in southern part of the
state.

The PLUM.
Dine OF the Most Luscious Fruits When
Properly Grown.

Dine OF the Most Luscious Fruits When
Properly Grown.
Tie following interesting communi-
cation in regard to growing the plum,
especially in Massachusetts, is given in
Country Gentleman:
Next to the peach the plum is the
most important fruit grown anywhere
in the temperate regions. In many To-
calities it is even more important than
the peach. This observation holds true
in Massachusetts, for, while in some
sections the peach is valuable fruit
and even an important commercial
crop, there are other sections where it
cannot be grown. Plums of some sort
can be grown, however, in every town
in the state.
This much wider adaptability Of the
plum is due to two causes. First, there
are many different varieties, derived
from very different species, some of
which thrive on one soil and some on
another, so that plums may be selected
for every kind of tillable soil. Second,
these different species vary great deal
as to hardness. While some Of them
are more tender than peaches, others
are even harder than apples, so that
they may be grown in cold districts
and exposed situations. In spite of all
it's good points the plum is sadly neg
lected. In fact, it is rarity to find an
adequate supply of good plums on any
farm in Massachusetts. There are a
few trees on almost every farm, but
the sad fact is that majority Of them
are mere breeding places for black
knot. Only few ever bear fine, sound,
clean fruit.
As Dessert Fruit.
Yet the plum is one of the most lus-
cious fruits when properly grown and
well ripened on the tree. For eating
out of hand it Is surpassed by the
peach alone. AS dessert fruit it has
no superior, while for canning it east
ly ranks next to the peach, and for
jelly making 1t completes for first place
with the red currant.
Unfortunately the general impression
has grown up that the plum is diff
