Tlio Hoard to bo Incorporated Hlno (Jimr torn to bo Occupied nt tlio Yhii Nohk House .Success Assured by tlio I.argo Membership. A largo and enthusiastic meeting of the State Hoard of Trade was held at the Tun Ness House Thursday March 15, at which there was h good representation of dairymen as well ns of the prominent business men of this city. President Hammond of the Board presided and C II. Watson of St. Albans acted as secre- tary. The llrst subject discussed whs the election of n permanent secretary. It was BURRestcd by President Hammond that the duties of 'secretary might be perform cd by the secretary of the Burlington Board of Tiado. Mr. A. G. "Whittemora thought for the first year at least It would require all the ecretary's time, but T. M. Deal of St. Albans and Mr. Nichols of Essex thought It would not aud the matter was left for the directors to dlspose of. President William Wells of the Burling ton Board of Trade theu stated what had been done by the local board with reference to quarters. The smaller diuiug room of the Van Ness House had been engaged fur three months ; it was convenient to the telegraph olllce in the hotel aud would be equipped in a first class manner. Mens nres had also been taken to interest the creamery men of neighboring counties and the Burlington Board was ready to do any thing to aid the State board. Mr. A. O. Ferguson moved that the In law providing that the market day shall bo held on Monday be changed to read on Friday to enable shippers to get the beuolU of the refrigerator tre in which leaves Vermont Monday nlgl rtnd to en able buyers who also attend the St. Law rence county Board of Trade Saturday to save one day. After some discussion it was decided to leave the selsctiou of a day with the directors. Tlllt 110AUD TO UK lNCORPOIiATEl). President Hammond stated that it had been the Intention to organize as a cor poration, but It was found that to do this it would be necessary to form a stock company. Geu. Wells thought that It would be better to organize under the State law. The capital stock could be made nny sum desired, and the portion to be paid in could be made the same as the membership tee. It having been voted to incorporate the board at a previous meeting it was voted on motion of C. M. Spauldlng that the capital biock ue nxeu at ?oow, tbe value of the shares to bo $10, each member to be limited to otie share. This will not add to the cost of membership as before uud will give the board of all the advantages of incorporation. now OTHEIt nOAI'.DS OF TISADE ABE UU.V. The question having arisen as to how other boards are managed, Mr. Deal said that in the county board at Canton, N.Y , the farmers appoint one person from each factory to supervise the telling. At the board is registered the quantity of butter or cheese that each factory has for sale. Bayers bid for the lots that they waut and if the holders are so disposed they sell. Qnotatiousare received Irom many of the leading markets aud sent by postal caid to the different members of the assuci atlon to keep them posted. This is a county boaid of trade and is probably con dncted on a somewhat different plan from what a State board would be. O. M. Spaulding thought that the sales ought to bear tbe expenses of selling pro rata, which would be a very small 'frac tion of one per cent, aim would be slight as compared with the two cents per pound on butter shipped to commission mer chants. E. J. Parker said that the annual mem bership dues at Elgin, III., were $25 and no commission was charged on sales. This matter was also lett with the direc tors. THE MEMI!EUSIIII The following now members were voted iu : Charles Greeue of Essex, C. C. War ren of Waterbury, N. B. Douglas & Sou of Whiting, J. I. Clark of Addison, G. W. Whitney and M. W. Clark ot Williston. I. 11. Norton of Salisbnry, William Har rison of Shelburn, A. D. Willard of Wey bridge, Berry, Hall & Co., Skillings, Whitueys & Barnes, B. H. Smalley, Hen ry Greene, C. M. Spaulding, it. B. Stearns. G. L. Litisley, makiug 54 in all, whose names have come in as a matter of course. There are assurances that over 100 of tlie business men of Burlington desire to be tome members and reports from other counties are most assuring. THE QUESTION or STIXIFICATIOXS. Cbairman Hammond having called up the subject of specifications, Mr. Water man of Johnson said that so far ns the quality of maple sugar was concerned sugar was gta led according to the color aud flavor. Some wanted the darkest as hey supposed it contained the most maple. Geu. Wells stated that there had been correspon-euco with some ot the leading maple sugar producers iu the State but that the storm had prevented obtaining their answers. He said that, to far as nugar is concerned one firm in this citv who deals lamely in it and has a large correspondence will circulate tree of ex peuse, any circulars which tho Board may want to seud out. Remarks were also made by C. R. Hay ward, W. E Mali, John Lnvclle, It. B. (Jaluslia, M Kvarts of Vergennes, .Mr. Parker ot 'margin and others. The Hoard then adjourned. THE MltKCTOUS JIEETINO. Immediately after tho adjournment of tho Board the directors held a meeting. Various plain were discussed with refer ence to a permanent secretary and com mittees but on motiou of Mr. Galusha the president and secretary were authorized to revise the by-laws and present a list of names for secretary mid committees nt tbe next meeting. Mr. Parker moved that the offer of tho Burllngtou Board of Trade to luruish and equip quarters aud solicit members be ac cepted and that a vote of thanks be ten dered them and It was so voted. Resold tlons to that effect were accordingly adopted and a copy sent to the secrelury I ot l iiu Burllngtou Board. Mr. Galusha moved the adoption of specifications for grading honey, which was done and as soon as specifications for other other products are obtained they with tho by-laws will be printed.

Bkkmk, March 10. The funeral of Em peror William took place to day. The weather was extremely cold, and the troops tanged four deep along the routo ot the cortege were heavily clotkcd. Hundreds of thousands of spectators occupied the space behind the soldiers. Every window along Untcr Den Linden was crowded, and all houses on the thoroughfare were covered with mourning; many exhibited Hags with black drapery. At the street crossings masslvo pillars draped in black and surmounted by Prnsslan eagles were erected. The lamp-posts were covered with crape, and at every 50 paces were largo candelahra.s bearing flaming cres sets. The procession was most Imnosiiig aud entirely iu keeping with the deep sor row and reverence of the people. The centre of the street was strewn with gravel and Mr branches. Iu Paris Er-Platz hung large crape festoons, entwined with laurel. The Brandenburg gate which was draped had a large arch iu I rout of it upon which were the words "God bless jou." The funeral sci vice took place in the cathedral. Emperor Frederick was not present the weather being too severe. Dr. Koegel , the court chaplain, delivered the sarinon, standing beside the colllii. The text was "Lord, now lettestThouThy servant depart iu peace, according to thy word, for mine eyes jhiive seen thy salva tlon" The chaplain concluded the ser mon with the L' rd's prayer, the congre gation sang the hymn "Weun Ich Einmal Soil Scheiden," A motto from GmuuVs "Tod Jesu" was th- sung by the choir, after which the members of the Slug Akadetnie rendered "H'ie Herrlich 1st Die Neuewelt." At 13:45 Dr. Koegel pro nounced the benediction. At the same time volleys were fired by tho Infantry outside. The rathedral ceremony closed wlthslnging "Holy, Holy, the Lord." The procession to escort tne Ktiser'.s re mains to the mau-oleiiin began to form amid the strains of the final chorus and sharp rattle of volleys outside. Twelve regimental commanders slowly aud rev erently raised the colllii fiom its resting place, moving lorwaid with it on their .shoulders to the principal door. Before them walked a hiuli court olllcial and nn either side of the colilu were miulsters of state, beuritig on cushions tho imperial liiuwu, sceptre ami otner mslgnta. Above the coffin waved thu im perial standard, borne by Gen. Van Papeaud on each side ot him walked nitl ueio nu iiiawii swurus. t ne royalties assumed positions iu the cortege Iu due order. As the colllo reached thu door the drummers of the military bands outaide beat a deafening tattoo. This was the signal tor the troops to prepare to march The conspicuous absence of the emperor aud Count Von Moltke anil Prince Bis marck was deeply regretted. This was the only prominent change in theiirrange meats aud thy procslon was iu every way worthy ot the occasion. Tho military display was magnificent though sombre. The entire escott, cimiptisitig the elite of the army, wore dark oveicoatH uud man tles owing to the extreme cold. All the surroundings of the tuueiul car were in vested with solemnity. Wending lis way over the castle bridge and through Unter den Linden, the pin cession readied the Brandeuhuiv gate a lew minutes after 2 o'clock. Unter deti Linden presented an extraordinary spectacle like the gloom of night at midday. Everything wns black, houses, pillars, Hags. Iu the miilstol this lnteii.su ombreiie-s ot color uliniineieil ttie pale light ol lamps veiled with crape. Thu silence ot the givat throng was uu broken. Ever) one remained uncovered until the collln had pa-sed. In the Sieges Alle, as had been ai iangetl, tlio procession hailed, aud Ciowu Prince William, who had thus tar walked imuiediatelv behind the funeral car, now entered a "carriage, accompanied by tne klins of Saxony, Helgium and Riiuuiaiila. The other ro alties at the same time took suits in car riages. At 3:15 the remains were received at the mausoleum and Chaplain Koegel lead ttie prayer "Blessed is the man who reslsteth temptation," aud the Lird's prayer. The solemn service closed with thu benedic tion. From n window of the salon overlook ing the park, thu emperor watched the procession. He wore the uniform of a general, with tho sash of the order of the Mack Eagle. Ho remained iu thu same spot until the closu ot the ceremony was announced by the guns.

THOMAS LVXClf'S ADDItHPS. Thejianepy ric was delivered byVerylRev. Thomas Lynch, V. G., and it was general !v pronounced one of the finest oratorical ellorts'of his life. He spokeof early Ireland and thu inllttence that it had upon the civilized world. He spoke of its seats of learning where flocked the scholars of Kurope ; of its eminent divines, and tho work that they did in disseminating l he truths or the Christian religion iu con titiental hurope. It was then known as tho laud of scholars unci stiuis, and the veneraiiie ueiie lestiues to tlio importance ol 1 s religious and educational influence. I'he speaker referred to the deeply re llgluus spirit winch imbued its peonle. Ho then briefly sketched fonie of the mote important events in the earlv his tory of the island, referring to St. P.itrick und some ot its other names which live in history to-day. This was the golden age id Ireland. It was before the foot of the cjiiqueror bad stepped upon her soil, and her homes and relmion desecrated. He men traced the elloris or the Kngllsh rulers to oppress the Irish ptople, speak ing in particular ot the attempts made to Induce the Irish to give up their religion, the destruction of its seats of learning and the enactment of lxws making it a crime iu numinisier tne sacraments, and the wrongs which the Iiisli "ad since sut fertd under the rule ot Kuglaud. The Irish always sought learning, but never at tne expense oi tneir rellgitu. He then relened to the prospcnty of the sons of at. Patilck in other countries. Their churches and cathedral-, institutions of learning, charity and piety are monu ments to i Heir devotion to the cause of humanity and religion. Tho Irish are to-day an important factor in the Christian church not only In this countiy but throughout the English speaking world. We are n people haid to ci usli tint we are appreciative ot our lib erties and privileges. We have a worthv mi-slon in the propagation of our blessed religion, Weaiothu children ot saints ; let us snow a strong and lively faith that their work will he carried on to the re demption of ttie whole world.

He spoke of Ireland's patron saint and tho blesslngi the Irish enjoyed when their country whb free. There was nothing in tho celobra t on of St. Patrick's day In America in consistent with good citizenship. It Is also a religious day. He referred to the fact that the Irish who lost their lives atOhlcn go were all on the side of law and order. "The Clergy" was responded to by Very Rev. Father Lynch. He extended a wel come to thosu present. He thought such occasions were excellent enough for som as a safety valve to prevent ah explosion, lint the trouble with him was to get up steam euough. He was glad to see present men of every profession. There were the physicians, who were ready to cut off nn arm or leg; there were insurance men who persuade us that we can live always, and the lawyers who persuade us that we are nlways on tho winning side, Ths clergy do not rebuko except when the pilnclplesof truth and jus ice are violated He closed by expiessing the kindliest feel lug for all nresent. Robert Roberts, K'q., responded to "Our Country" and he thought he had been given a large subject. He had un derstood that Collector Smalley who was pre-At-ilt vfas to respond to this toast but it tvas nut large euough for him , he wan'ed the earth, Tho beauty of this country is that while many look back to their fatherland with feeling of love nil are Americans. Yet there were some timid souls who thought it was time to stop immigration but he had no fears for the result He thought we could take caru of what Chinamen we had but wo had bet ter wait awhile before letting any more come. "Ihe Press" was responded to by Mr Hiram Atkins, who nretiiced hl remarks With a lamrhnhle stnrv about a Burlington lawyer who did not know how noker was nlarerl. He said he was obliged to cut short his r. marks to take the train, or he would learn what Irish nluck meant when he int hnm Monday morning. Mayor Henry was called upon to re Fpond to "l'he Queeu City." He said that he claimed the right to wear the St Pat rick badge for oue ot his grandfathers was an iilshman. Twenty )ears ago the last load of merchandise was taken by team to the old Leavenworth store in thle city. He then coutrasted the Burlington of that lime with the city to-day. He thought that iu 20 ears tno city would have 80,000 inhabitants. He thought William Scully would be mayor and that the collector, if he would lay aMdo some of his native modesty, would bo John Shea. "Ireland" was responded to by A B. Cunningham of St. Joseph's college. If there is oue feeling iu the Irishmnn'E lire st that has outlived another It is tho love for Ireland. Persecution and famine had tried in vain to rout Irish love for lib erty aud home Tbe speech was one of the most eloquent of the evening. "Our Sister Societies" was rtsponded to by Mr. J. seph E. Painchaud, piesident of tne St. John society, who made oue of tho must witty speeches of tho even ug. He wanted r.is healers to remember, it any thing he said was too "Frenctiy," that bia mother was a French man. Iu IMS vhh founded here the St. Jean Buitiste b ciety. The French as well as the Irish are better for their societies. He invoked better support for them. "Our Charitable Institutions" was r- spoudedtoby Br. A. P. Gr nnell He thought the society would be obliged to hold its next bunquet in tho park on ac count of room. He thought if St. Patrick wa- dubbtd a saint tor putting out snakes and toads, that Mrs-rs. Smilley and At kins should be sainted for putting out re publican otliceholders iu Vermont. The societies did valuable charitable work He spoke of the Catholic charitable in stllutions, Mary Fletcher Hospi nl, and Home, aud stated that a cancer hospital would soon be in working order.

Meldon. Esq., of Rutland respond ed tn " The Bar" opening with a story In which he quoted aseutenco in Irish. Heid not need to defend lawyers. If Christians were judged by the standard set by stray sdetp religion would fall. The glory of Ireluud was that it prodnced the bravest of men and the piuest of woniuu. The Irish intend to become a uatiouind r church. .Thev bhould feel for it just iu they would for a mother no matter how low ly. The most beautiful thing in life is love, and the most beautiful ot all 1 jves la love of country. 'I he Ladies" was responded to by Mr J. B. Scully, who paid them a warm trib ute, speaking of the Sisters of Mercy, the Howaid Relief, the Home and other or ganlz.itious conducted by women. They were taking a place In every profession and he could uot say enough iu their praise. D. J. Foster. Esq., responded to "Irish Character." He spoke ot the works ot St Patrick, his slavery, heroic conception, and heroic deeds. The character of thu Irish is heroic and their history full of heroic deeds. They are patriotic. The onnres sion they had suffered was biifllcient uuise for any defects mat might be found In their character.
