In a privata ietter, addressod to the editor of a Varla newspaper, Mme. de La Grange, tho well-known lnstructor in Binglng, makea thls mentlon ot that unfortunato young Amerlcan, the late MUs Marlo Lltta: " She waa a favorlte pupil of mlne, and also bo atudloua and atten tive, and ao anxloua to develop her great mu slcal talent, that a moet brllltant future was certalnly before her. I set her up as a model for all young ladles to copy from, and were sho still among ua and ln full onjoymont of health, she would now be ono of tho brlghtcst ornaments of the lyrlc stage.

The ofter waa accepted and Kelley mado a despeiate effott to wln tho candy back, but mado an utter failure of it, and was obllged to glvo it up. What must tho small boy have thought ot the moral tralning of the storekeeper?" And thls happencd at St. Johnsburyl The old scholars and frlenda of the Essex classlcal institute, at Essex Center, held a ro unton plcnlc last Friday afternoon and evenlng at the institute groundB. About one hundred and ilfty old pupils were in attondance, and utter enjoying a basket plcnic, toaats approprl ate to the occnslon were read and responded to by several partles. In the evenlng Mlasea Lena Brown and Anna Tracy gang several Bonzs very nicely, and by request Mlsa Nellie Caatloof Jericho, who has just returned from the conservatory of muaic at Boston, delighted the nudience wlth her rondering ot two ballada All in all, lt was an enjoyablo affair, and holped strengthen tho ttea that blnd tho stu- dent to hia alma mator. Thkuk waa a meetlng of tho dlrectora ot the Bennington Battle Monument Association in that town on tho Kith inst.

The commltteo on design aro Ilon. E. J, Phelps of Burlington Ex-Governor B. F. Prescott of New Ilamp- ablre, Ex-Govcrnor Alexander II. Iiice ot Mas aachusetta, and General John G. McCullough of Bennington. Tho commltteo was unani moua ln thelr recommendatlon. We fear that the Index man la not always prompted by the most dlsinterested vlrtue ln hls herolc effortg to retorm overybody and everything in the state. His latest eflort in this dlrectiou Is tho following comment on the Farmera' Mutual Insurance Company ot thia vlllago: "Thia company will reach the end of Its rope before long. The people of Vermont cannot be made to stand everything. The re- markable performances of thia company would make raighty lnteresting reading lf they were all writton up."

Tho amount of Barlow paper ln the uppor bank Is not known by tho publle, and the publlc, whlch ls always very curlous, will draw ita own lnferences.
