TOWN PICNIC AUG. l6.
Commercial Club Wants Everybody
to Observe Holiday on Cary's Hill.
Move for New Post Office.

The meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Commercial Club Sat
urday noon was quite largely attend
ed and much important business
done. 1t was decided to give up an
excursion to Newport and in place of
it have a general town picnic to
which every resident and any visi-
tors who happen to be in town will
be invited to come without price and
enjoy a day in the open and listen
to some interesting talks by men of
more than local prominence. The
place decided upon is the hill cover
ed by George C. Cary's sugar place.
Fine shade and a good opportunity
to scatter around under the trees
can be had there and a very strong
feature for the place is the magnifi-
cent view that can be had from the
eminence. August 16 was selected
as the day because it is a public holi-
day and it is hoped that every man,
woman and child in the village will
feel they are welcome and that they
will enjoy q day in the open and hear
something about their town.
An invitation has been sent to
Clark G. Fits for George S. Dunham
of Bratt1eboro to come and deliver
a short speech. There will be good
list of sports by local athletes.
New Post Once Wanted. :.
Another subject of Importance
was the beginning of move for a.
new post office building. st. Johns
bury is the largest village in the
state without a government building
for a post Office. itswill take long
time after the request for such a
building is granted and it was de-
cided it was time to start the move
ment. G. II. Cross was authorized
to write Congressman Plumley and
make known the wants of the town
in this matter and try to enlist his
support for the project.
Time OF Meeting Changed.
A third action of Importance was
the changing of the date for the
weekly meeting of the committee.
Some objection was made to Satur-
day noon as the meeting time be-
cause it is Al busy day for the mer-
chants and few if any of them at
tend So. it was decided to change
the time to Thursday evening at
$50. The plan is to have any mem
Der of the club feel free to attend
the weekly meetings and discuss any
matter in which he may be interest
ed with the committee. So every
member is invited to come to the
rooms and have supper, bring his
cigar and talk over town matters and
development with his toWnsmen. 1t
is hoped this will awaken a wider
interest in the club and that it will
bring out more of the wholesale and
retail dealers of the town.

G. A. STANLEY'S BARN BURNED.
Fire Company Hindered By Low
Pressure of Wafer.

Tuesday morning at 3:45 O'Clock
the village was awakened by the
ringing of the fire bell, number 26.
1t proved to be for fire in G. A.
Stanleys barn and it was not very
long before the flames could be seen
from a considerable distance. The
barn burned to the bottom floor as
the water pressure was very weak.
Charles Stanley came home about
$3.50, put his horse in the barn, but
as he did not have to go to the hay
loft where the fire started, no blame
can be laid to him. He talked with
his father for a short time and then
retired but was soon warned by his
father that the barn was on fire and
he Immediately ran out and rang
the alarm. The fire company arriv-
ed shortly and was soon at work but
the poor pressure hindered them to
large extent. The wagons and
auto were got out of the barn safely
and three of the horses we're also,
but with some difficulty The ell of
the house caught fire but this was
put out and by 4:30 the fire was
under control The insurance on
theb arm is probably large enough to
cover all loss.

OPENING OF NEW CHURCH.
Blessing of the Cornerstone of Notre
Dame de Pitie, at North Concord.

Next Sunday, at II A. M Mass
will be sung for the first time in the
new. Catholic Church at North Con-
cord, by the Rev. J. A. Dame.
At 2 P. M. the ceremony of the
Blessing of the Cornerstone will be
performed by the Rev. Eug. C.
Drouhin, F. r., delegate of the Bish-
op Of Burlington, who will also ad-
dress the congregation in French,
whilst the Rev. T. Leonard will de-
liver the sermon in English.
In the cornerstone, nice piece
of white marble, the gift of the
Union, Granite Co. of ST. Johnsbury,
will be enclosed a steel casket con-
tanning coins of the year, a parch-
ment document setting forth the
of the United States, Bishop of the
Diocese, Governor of Vermont and
Pastor of the church, and also
copies of the local papers.
The new church, which stands
prominently on the hill to the right
of the railroad station, is finished,
and is a credit to the Catholic peo-
pie of Concord, North Concord,
Miles Pond and Victory, who expect
to worship there hereafter. The
inside of the building, entirely fin
ished in white metal has very
tasty and dignified look and is al
ready supplied with a fine altar and
a large handsome statue of Our
Lady of Sorrows. Delicate Stations
of the Cross adorn the walls and the
Altar has been beautifully equipped
by friends from Boston.
The new church will have but
small debt of 100000, which, it is
expected, will be considerably re-
duced next Sunday by the offering
it is the custom to make by those
who, after the Blessing of the Cor
ner-stone, take part in the service
by striking it lightly in place with
small mallet.
The church is in the centre of
three different Missions, and is the
gratifying result of the generosity
of the Catholics living in them, es-
pecially Mr.. Amedee Fournier, who
donated the land it is built upon,
and the hard and enthusiastic effort
and the hard and enthusiastic efforts
of the Rev. J. A. Dame, who has
charge of these missions.
It is expected that special train
will be run August 13 to North
Concord, leaving St. Johnsbury at
9:45 A. M. and returning at about
P. M. All welcome!

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
Full Pond Capacity Being Developed
at Fish Hatchery.-Good Out
put Of Fish.

These are busy days at the gov
ernment fish hatchery which with
the sub stations at Holden and Swan
ton turned out a large amount of
young fish the past season. Seven
men are now employed here and at
Holden, three of them being summer
men sent out by the national bureau.
At this station they are enlarging
the ponds that were left unfinished
last year and building three small
concrete ponds to be used in sorting
the fish. When these are completed
the full pond capacity of this station
will be developed. All the buildings
at this, station are to be painted this
season.
Very soon the men will be sent to
the various field stations to begin
gathering brook trout eggs. This
will take them until about the mid
die of December. The output of
fish from the Vermont hatcheries
was the largest this year of any year
in their history. The plant was
stocked to it's capacity last winter
and the output was as follows:
Brook trout, 100000 fry and
100000 fingerlings.
From $4,000 to 10000 al head
trout.
Lake trout 10O,00O
Salmon trout, $4,000.
Bass, 100000 fry and 10000 fn-
gerlings.
At the Swanton station 225, 5,00O,-
600 pike-perch eggs were gathered.
The rearing of bass is entirely diff
ferent, from raising trout. The trout
are stripped and their eggs taken to
the hatchery, for Matching. No bass
eggs are collected but nests are built
in the pond with an opening in one
side. Bass of both sexes are placed
in the pond and male bass takes
possession of a nest, induces fe-
male to come in and deposit the eggs
and then watches them until they are
Matched. Parental oversight ceases
here and the young bass begin eating
each other for amusement and de-
Velopment.
Owing to their cannibalistic traits
the little fellows are deposited in
large ponds as fry as far as possible
because if left in their, breeding
ponds small percentage will escape
from their brothers and sisters and
reach the lingering stage.
