Tills Spring;.
The newspapers are calling this a back
ward spring and so far ns the thormoniotcr
bis shown there is a good deal or truth
iu the statement. March, in Vermont, as
well as elsewhoro, was the coldest that
month has been for a good many years,
Hut the chances are that when the snow
gots away things will bo found in shape
for good crops. Tho ground was so dry
when the snow came last fall that it has
bjen pretty free from frost and has
taken up a large share of the water fur
nished by the melting snows. The streams
nro clear from ice and tho snow is going
off very rapidly. Tho sugar season has
been a poor ono indeed but in spite of
persistent abuse the weather clerk will
probably make up a fair averago for the
year, llo has charged up to him a loss
on maple sugar and winter wheat, and
must get about to even up on something
else.
Aad whilo those who till the ground are
getting ready to improve the seed limo,
business men, in their way, nro doing the
sumo tiling, and tho men who lead or want
lo lead in polities are as busy us any.
Down in Massachusetts General Uutler is
stirring in such a lively way that the
presence of Diaz of Mexico and of the
Marquis of Lorno and his wife, Princess
Louise, are soon forgotten. The Mexican
and tho Scotchman and En; lishwouian
are gone but General Butler remains. And
his present undertaking, the Tewksbury
almshouse investigation, is a good one.
Tho general is sensational always, but i
good many of his sensations have been
good one j as witness his inarch to Wash
ington, Mumford and other things in New
Orleans, and now his "field at Tewks
bury.'"
Taken ns a whole Butler's spring clean
ing (outside of the regular article) is the
liveliest on hand just now hut Connecticut
still has her legislature running with sev
oral interesting questions on hand though
it has just disposed of a prohibitory con
stitutional amendment by not giving it
the two-thirds vote necessary to submit it
to the people. The New York legislature
too is still in session and Gov. Grover
Cleveland is doing a number of things
that may help his remarkable 191,000
majority of last fall to boost him to the
next democratic presidential nomination.
Talking about that nomination, a re-
nowalof tho.Tilden movement is one of the
lalo remarkable developments. The sage
of Gramercy Park is in remarkable good
health for him it is said and if the weather
comes off to suit him this summer he may
"saddle Blackstono" once more and be
very formidable In tho raoo in the nex

ueiuuurauo national convention. It is
now said that Jay Gould having at the
ago of 47 amassed a fortune of one hun
dred million dollars, is going to retire
from businoss and lot his son George
represent the family in the active world.
But other folks interested might as well
not count too surely on tho retirement ol
Mr, Tilden from politics or that of Mr.
Gould from business for if either should
tiiko a notion to return !
The Now York spring elections have
gone in goncral in favor of the democrats
and tho samo result has loen pretty
common in tho central and western states.
Perhaps tho worst jar that the re
publicans have received is in the
success of the fusionists in Michigan
where tho republican candidates for the
supreme bench and the university regency
have been defeated. The German vote
has at least temporarily Jgono largoly
against the republicans.
These things do not mako a pleasing
outlook for our side for the presidential
contest of next year. But there are
indications of the possible presence of
some flies in the democratic ointment at
that time. The bourbon folly at the south
has always helped tho republicans and
that that is not dying out is widened by
tho wrath of the Charleston News at the
New York Sun for telling some cold truth
about tho condition of affairs iu the south
and in tho lato defeat of Boynton for the
democratio nomination for governor to
succeed Stephens in Georgia. He was
beaten by the bourbons becauso he
happened years ago to write a civil letter
toGiv. Bullock of that state who was b
republican.
And at tho Iroquois club banquot a few
nights ago in Chicago (a feast to which it
is said Governor Butler wa9 not invited),
Mayor Carter Harrison broke loose and
talked about the folly of a free trade plat
form in a way that must have mado Henry
Waterson regret that ho did not improvo
tho opportunity to respond to the toast,
" Temperance," which came earlier on
the programme than the mayor's piece
which was not spoken until about two
o'clock in the morning. Mayor Harrison
talked a good deal of unwelcome fact late
as the hour was, and perhaps his prophecy
of a hard road on tho free trade q lestion
may come truo to tbo democra's next
year. Thut party does not appear to to
suffering very bad now, though, for want
of votos. But what sort ol a harvest
thoy will make of their present successes
remains to be seen.
Suicide at MiDDi.Eiiuity. Tho body of
Solon M. Lynch, aged 21, of Fort Ann,
N. Y., was found in the woods at Middle-
bury Friday. In the pocket were a half
empty phial of prussio acid, 20 ounces of
avscnio and a quantity of bluo vitriol.
Near by was a razor with which ho had
mado small gashes in his throat and wrist.
Tho amended five cent nickels of the
new issue bears tho word "cents'' in
comparatively large and distinct loiters
bolow the "V" on the reverse aide of the
coin. Tho "cents" Is in letters uniform
with those in tho words "United Slates of
America," and completes the oirclc around
tho rim of tho piece.

Thero is a prospect of trouble on the
Caltaraugas Indian reservation in New
York. The Indians can not sell land;, but
for years whites have leased tracts of them
imposing upon their simplicity to get
very low rents, and now the secretary of
the interior has ordered nil these leases
canceled and tho tenants ejected. The
latter have in some eases held pos-
setsion n long time and made many im
provements, and are naturally a good
deal excited by the turn of events.
Tho government bonds and currency

demptions huvo almost until ely ceased,
and it is certain that tho most of the
amount is destroyed. Tho loss of green-

Tho latest report is that 17C miles of the

A Washington dispatch says: While

reopening the notation as soon as con
fess meets noxt December, there is a
movement on foot, presumably m the
nterost of Mr. Randall in his canvass for
the speakership, to relegate the question
to the background and make the figui
upon some other issue. The friends of
Mr. Randall are well aware that the
party is at present hopelessly divided on

those facts are not urged as the reasons

Washington Letter.
Washington, D. O., April 13, '83.
Postmaster General Grosham arrived in
the city Tuesday,, and In aeoordanoe with
his expressed wish his reception was quiet
and in keeping with tha ocoasion of
succession to a high oflloo by roason of
death. Ho assumed his now official
duties Wednesday. On entering the
department, be went to the rooms of the
postmaster general, whioh had been closed
for a lon time, whore the oath of office
was administered to him by the notary,
Judge Lawrenson, who made tho short
ceremony impressive, although it was the
twentieth time be bns officiated, having
sworn in every postmaster general since
1845. After this formality a department
reception followed, which occupied about
an hour. Hoads of bureaus, clerks,
mcssengors, and watchmen came in and
wero presented to thoir new chief by
Assistant Postmastor General Hatton. By
Judge Gresham's kind presenoe and pleas
ant manner, many employes who felt an
exousable degree of uncertainty before
they went in, as they do whenever there
is a change at the head, were reassured by
this momentary contact that tho new
cabinet officer was not '.heir natural
enemy, and retired with a stronger sense
of security. After the clerks had roturned
to thoir dosks. General Greshain had a
conference with his assistants, and thus
pleasantly, personal and official acquain
tance began. One of Judge Gresham
first official acts will be to make a selection
from the designs sent by the Amerioan
bank note company of New York for tho
new two cent postage stamps. After the
two cent law goes into effect the three
cent stamps in stook will be used for
packages of third and fourth class mail
matter, and for Canadian mail, and if the
demand for them will warrant It the
department will continue to print three
cent Btamps.
The society of the army of tho Potomac
will hold Its next annual reunion in this
city, and as the evont approaches much
ntcrcst is felt, as it is expected to attract
a very large number of visitors to Wash
jngton. These throngs of people are of
course conducive to the business interests
of tho city, and there will be an effort on
the part of citizens to contributo to the
pleasure of the occasion and thereby
make Washington a popular place for
these gatherings, as it is really the most
appropriate placo. In its campaigning
days, this army for a long time mado
the capital tho centre of its operations.
while around it aro many of tho battle
fields and bivouacs of its dead. The
society has held thirteon annual reunions
in different cities bofore returning to hold
one hero, where every spot is familiar to
these old soldiers and suggestive of martial
memories. Tho formal features of the
reunions are :i business meeting, and
oration, poem and banquet. But the
veterans have a high old lime shaking
hands, renewing friendships, strengthen
ng ties, reviewing past scenes, and living
over together tho events of a period so
thrillingly forcible in tho memories of
each other.
Twenty-two senators still remain in
Washington, among them Senator Kellogg
of Louisiana, who was recently indicted
for complicity in tho star route oases.
Hon. Roscoo Conkling always attracts
attention when he appears in Washington.
He has just been here argueing in an
elcotrio light patent suit. Ho spoke with

He is growing old rapidly, but seemed to

The civil scrvico commission is estab

agricultural building. Thoe quarters
are not regarded as necessarily permanent,

Tho examinations will not begin for about
thirty days. Tho room is largo enough
to examine sixty applicants at one time.
The answers will all bo in writing, and
the marking will probably be done by
experts from the departments assigned to

to insuro fairness, even to tho extent of
the reconsideration of cases where there

Senator Edmunds, the vico president, sat
for an hour in the gallery of the Georgia
democratic convention tho other day, and
said : "It's a fine looking body of men, as
fine as we could get together in Vermont,
ind this is a good deal for me to say. As
soon as his idenity was discovered ho was
surrounded by delagates by whom he was
cordially received.
Whitingham has again voted,101 to
117. not to aid tho proposed Brattleboro
and Wilmington railroad, but, tho major
ity against it being considerably less than
at both of the previous meetings, the
friends of the project believe that another
meeting will result in a compromise
whereby tho east part of the town will
pay a half or third more of the tax than
the west part.
Senator Edmunds . passed through St.
Louis on Saturday, and by invitation,
made a short address at Ihe Mechanic's
Exchange. Referring to the transporta
tion problem ho said : "We must do justice
to those who havo placed ttioir money and
brain in enterprises which have givon us
an easy means ol communication, us woll
as to ourselves. As long as these means
of communication aro kept up, so long
will the unity and prosperity of our great
nation keep up.

In the midst of sunshine, of balmy

London season is beginning. We no long

of the hour we "would have given the

our artistio friends by getting up In the
middle of their concerts (for which they
have sent us tho best seats) In order to
show ourselves at some aristocratio ball
some fair lady's post-prandial reception or
some gathering of celebrities of which all
the world is talking. The ingenuity of

us at every turn, yet no genius has yot

the twenty-four hours into whioh such a
multitude of duties must now be crowded
The queen has suffered to a greater
extent than was anticipated owing to her
accident on Saturday last. Little Impor
tance was attached to It at first, as it
appeared to be merely a slight sprain, and
Her Majesty took her customary drives.
However, while tho queen was on one of
these excursions, her knee became painful
and upon returning to the oastlo her
majesty had to be assisted to her apart
ments, and the sprain has become worse
and the knee much swollen, compelling
the auoen to take complete rest. The
iournev to Osborne has, therefore, been
postponed. Her majesty, although suffer
ing considerable pain, daily transacts
official business, and her general health is
not affected by the accident.
A reward of one thousand pounds has
been offered by the government for the
discovery of the perpetrators of the crime
in Parliament street, and a similar sum
for the discovery of the person or persons
who attempted to blow up the office of the
"Times." The damage done at the local
government office was far greater than
was at first supposed.
Both houses of parliament adjourned on
Tuesday for the Easter recess. The upper
house likes to take a long holiday at
Easter, and its members did not sit unti
yesterday: but the more pressing business
of the house of commons was continued
on the 29th inst. Some progress has been
made of late spite of the obstructiveneis
of the Irish party, and on Monday, the
new bankruptcy bill was read a second
time. Egypt will again be the subject, of
serious discussion when parliament reas
sembles. In the meantime Lord Dufferin's
report will enable members and the public
generally to get a clear idea of the present
condition of that couutry. Lord Dufferin
evidently considers that the work of Eng
land in Egypt is not yet completed, and
her views are endorsed by the European
esidents thnra who protest strongly
against our troops being withdrawn, and
it does not appear that any cabinet in Eu
rope objects to our continued occupation
of Egypt until wo have solid assurance
that our withdrawal will not loavo room
for the admission of now cloments of dan
ger and discord. The Promicr himself
indicated plainly In a recent speech that
there is no immediate prospoct that Egypt
could be left to herself.
The proposal made the othor day to place
a statue or bust of Longfellow in 'West
minster Abbey has boen very favorably
received. It is another of those gratifying
signs that England and the United States
are becoming more and more united as
members of tho same groat Anglo-Saxon
family.
The Rev. Stephen Gladstono confirms
the reported intention of his father to leave
his seat on the treasury bench. He says
that ho will retire entirely from public life.
and ho docs not think that ho will accept
peerage. Having done all his work
elsewhere, he will never tako his seat in
the house of lords.

Prom An Occasional Correspondent
Rome Letter,
Rome April. 2, '83
'Sunny Italy" has had, during the last
two or three years, considerably less sun-
hine and a great deal more rain than
are in accordance with tho traditions of
the climate of that beautiful land, and
inclement weather threatened to spoil the
popular enjoyment of tno fostivities he'd
in Rome to commemorate the four bun
dreth anniversary of tho birth of Raphael.
The inscription on the tomb in the Pan
theon of the illustrious painter, written by
Cardinal Bumbo, states that the day of
Raphael's birth was also that of his death.
and tho day in question was the Gth of
April. The Romans, however, have very
good reasons for keeping the anniversary
od the 28th of March, and it Is sufficient
for the world to be certain that tho groat
artist died in 1820, and that he had lived,
as the epitaph Btates, thirty-seven years
"integer integros." Tho celebration at
Rome seems to have boon bright and joy
ous enough to console the great army of
sightseers for having boen afflicted with
the dullest carnival and tho coldost Lent
that have been known in the capitol of
Italy for many years, whilo the Raphael
commemoration was in its every aspect
pleasantly characteristic of tile people of
the eternal city, who have by no means
lost their ancient appetite for "bread and
shows" although when ugly rumors of the
Roman fever frightened away the forolgn
visitors, the poorer Romans occasionally
experience some difficulty in obiaining an
adequate supply of tho staff of life. Tho
festival, morever, was one in which liber
als and clericals could join wilh equal
heartiness. Raphael was a painter and
a poet, but ho does not seem to have
had any politics at all. llo died on the
very best terms with the church. The
pope had given him tho benediction on his
deathbed, and he was engaged in marriage
to the neice of Cardinal Bibicna, although
some of his biographies have stated that
the painter was avorso from wedding
Maria Bibicna becauso Pope Leo X. bad
promised to bestow on him cardinal's
hat. For tho prince of paint jrs to bo
raised to tho dignity of a prince of the
church would have been an unexamplod
honor beslowod on art. But it was not to
bo. Rayhaol like Byron, died at thirty
seven ; and astonishingly full of renown
as was his brief career, very little is known
of tho individual man. That ho painted a
vast number of wonderful pictures; that
ho was personally handsome; that he left
his wealth, after tho ondowmunt of a
chapel, to his pupils and friends; and that
he was the companion or princes those
few facts have been nearly all that, until
a very recent period, bis biographies have
bad to work upon. The learned Passavant,
however, discovered more and ample
materials for the painters life; and still
more recent writers have strivon, and are
striving, further to develop our knowledge
of a personality of which It may without
exaggeration, be said that It has grown
"dark from excess of light." In the blaze
of glory whioh surrounds tho master who
produced the "Transfiguration" and
"Spaaimo di Sicilia," the man Raphael has
hitherto been only faintly visible From
the church of St. Genevieve, In Paris pro
trndos a brazen band, brandishing a flam
ing torch. It is the tomb of Jean-Jaques
Roussoau; and the torob of the citizen of
Geneva is supposed to be still enligbtning
the world. ' A brighter and a purer light,
however, streams from the tomb of
Raphael Sanzio. It is the light of that
beauty the knowledge of which his short
but glorious life was spent In ineulcating
of that beauty which is the Inseparable
handmaid of truth.
A certain little Pharisee, who was pray
ing for his big brother, had a good deal
of human nature in him, even if ho was
only six years old. He prayed, "O Lord
bless brother Bill, and make him as good a
boy as lam."
Under the recently enacted civil dam
age act, Mrs. Richards of Richford has
brought suit for $5000 against Dan Moore
of East Berkshire for the loss of her hus
band, who was accident!? killed with
liquor alleged lo have been sold him by
Moore.
It Is understood that among the records
brought back by the Jeannotte survivors

Dancnhower. It is stated that besides
Meteorologist Collins, Dr. Newcomb, the
naturalist, and beamen star and lee were

European capitals aro very good cities
not to live in this spring. In London
every public building, evon down to the
gas works, is carefully guarded against
the explosion of infernal machines. Paris
shudders over concerted efforts to set the
city on fire. Madrid is disturbed by
revolutionary societies. In St. Petersburg
the finding of dynamite in the possession
of nihilists is of daily occurrence, and, to
cap tho climax, these ubiquitous assassins
issue a cheerlul proclamation warnins
people not to attend the coronation cere
monies at Moscow, because the czar will be
murdered then if not sooner put out of
the way. This European volcano is a
very large sized one.
Sad Accident. William O'Brion of
this city, a freight conductor on the Cen
tral Vermont, was the victim ol a shock
ing acoldent at Essex Junction, Friday
night. He was engaged in coupling cars.
when tno right loot was cau2ht between
the guard rail and tho rail and the car
wlieol ran over tho lower part of his lesr.
taking tho calf completely off, and then,
as he was dragged under, ran over his
thigh, crushing the bono. Mr. O Brien
was brought to this oity and tnknn to tho
Mary Fletcher hospital, and on Saturday
the surgeons amputated tho leer several
inches abovo the knee. The unfortunate
man had rallied from tho operation,
Sunday, and strong hopos of his recovery
are entertained, lie is about 25 years of
age and has a wife but no children.

The people of Canada, especially those
of tho province of Ontario, are loudly call
ing for the appointment of a stato railway
commission to protect merchants and
shippers from unjust discriminations on
the part of railway companies, and from
other abuses. The Ontario people charge
the Grand Trunk, now the only line be
tween Montreal and Toronto and other
points west, has always favored Montreal
merchants.though the road owes its success I
as mi ch to Xoronto and Ontario as any
othor part of the country through which
it runs. It is said that Montreal merchants
havo always boen able to ship their goods
to Loudon and other points in Ontario, a
distance of over 400 miles from Montreal
for the same rate at which Toronto mer
chants have been charged.
Although very little has been said of
late about civil service reform, it is
evident that the administration intends to
carry out tho provisions of tho Pendleton
bill in good faith and to give tho experi
ment a thoroughly fair trial. Room has
been found in a building of the agricultural
bureau for the commission to work in and
by the 1st of July the new system will be
inaugurated. The law makes it apply to
all government officers, both in and out of
Washington, employing fifty or moro
clerks, and it may bo subsequently
extended to the smaller officers at the
disoretion of the executive. The work ol
classification as provided for by law is
going on, and those possessing influence
are making it count for all that it is
worth before the day when its strength is
supposed to expire.
The will of Peter Cooper revoals that
the philanthropist left loss than $2,000,000.
Of this, after deducting $100,000 for
Cooper Union, and twice as much for
smaller personal bequosts, tho residuo is
divided equally between his two children,
Ex-Mayor Cooper and Mrs. Hewitt. As
his son-in-law points out in an interview,
it is really surprising, when one takes
into account his tireless benefactions, that
Mr. Cooper left even so large an estate
Probably not loss than four millions he
gave away during his long life time. Ho
might have left ten millions, instead of
less than two, had he been inspired, ns
Mr. Jay Gould s World says, by '-the
ordinary and vulgar ambition of rich
men." The proposition to rear an enduring
and befitting monument to Peter Cooper,
by raising a fund which shall enlarge
four fold the facilities for a free technical
education now offered by Cooper Union,
is ono which will commend itself to
everybody.
An interesting collection of statistics in
regard to the number of collogo bred men
in tho three professions have just been
published. This shows, by a comparing
a number of tho leading col logos in the
Unitsd States, that an avcraee of 9.2 Dor
cent of the graduates become doctors of
medincino, 21 per cent becomo ministers,
ind 19. U per cent become lawyers. Not
half as many collogo graduates, thoroforo
study medicine as enter the law or tho
ministry. Another tablo shows that in tho
various medical schools of the United
States in 1880 there wcro 9,876 studonts,
as against 5093 in theological schools and
3131 in law schools. But from the reports
of tho various professional schools to tho
United States commissioner of education
it nppcars that of those in attendance at
professional schools the por cent of stu
dents holding dogrees in art or scionoe
was, in medicine 7.9 per cent. In theology
20. 4 per cent, in the law 24.1 per oont.

Enoch Aiioe.v is Connecticut. A
correspondent of the Hartford Courant
records death in his 88th year of Harry
Rockwell at East Hampton on tho 8th,
who was the victim of another Enoch
Ardcn scrape which ho endured with
emotions "we must imagine, we cannot
desoribe." In 1817 he married the daugh
ter of Ellsha Niles, the village pedagogue
of Chat.mm. Two years later be left his
wife and child and sought his fortune in
Georgia and afterward took the sea. His
captain was a hard master and during a
mutiny ho deserted and after " incredible
suffering,"as Robinson Crusoe would say,
reached a port and shipped again in an
Knglisn man ot-war. J-Jngtand and hpatn
wero at war, and being ' captured
Rockwell was thrown into a Spalnish
prison and barely escaped starvation. He
had numerous other adventures in the
American navy and tho merchant marine.
During all this time he did not communi
cate with his family and at the end ot six
years his wife married again. On his ar
rival at Jew lork he beard ot his fate
and betook himself onee more to the con
solations of the deep .for a period of 10
years.lu 1831 Ueorge fc,vans, husband JNo.
2,died,leaving three childrcn.two of whom
are still living In Connecticut. In 1835
Rockwell again came to this country to
get bis mail and.learning the facts through
various neighbors who did not recognize
him, ho at length asked shelter of Widow
Evuns during a thunder storm. We are
asked to believe that his appearance
reminded one of a dream sho had had, and
this led to an identification, tears, em
braces, explanations and within fivo days
a new marriage. Ibrce sons have since
been born lo them; ono died In the rebel
lion and another still lives with his mother.
Crossing Bk.ooki.yn Bridge I crossed
over the Brooklyn bridge for the first time
on Tuesday last; it is considerably more
than a mile long, from the top of tho bill
where tho station is being built in Brook
lyn, to Chatham street. The large station
in Brooklyn is to be used by tho steam
Hum cars lor waiting rooms, etc., and a
smaller building is being framed at the
New York eud. I am afraid that foot
passengers are not going to havo the most
porfect view of tho river if they pass
through the middle of tho bridge, which 1
understand to bo their avenue, leaving 'he
sides to vehicles. The cars, I understand,
aro to run on the second tloorof tho bridge.
I was admitted at a gate and put on an
asphaltum walk in the middle of the Brook
lyn approach, along which I went for
a thousand feet or more, and then climbed
down a ladder, or crude steps, to the north
ern flooring in which a crack occurred
hero and there, showing the frightful
chasm below, ono glimpse of which was
enough to make a man flinch. The floor
ing on this sido was of planks, but the
parnpets boing up there was no danger
Whon I reached tho east tower, the
magnificient character of the arch there
seemed to show moro wonderfully than
from the surface of tho river bolow It is
a fact that on tbo top of each of the
towers two hou'es can be built, of 20
feet front and 123 feet depth. Any man
who owns a house and lot of tho full depth
in Now York can look out of his back
window on his yard and his neighbor's,
and consider that both of them do not
cover ns much space, by another half
building lot, ns the top of these bridge
towers. The East river assmes a beauty
of color and extent from tho bridge that
ono could hardly imagine; nearly the
wholo river, from Governor's island to
Blaekwell's islam), lies under tho eye, and
it seems to be tho principal thing in New
York landscape and those buildings which
border it, especially up toward Williams
burg, rise enormously from their great
bulk, in general, sugar refineries. New
York itself seems, from the Brooklyn end
of tho bridge, like a town on a hill which
rises to a certain profile or a parapet, and
beyond that is smoKe and vagueness.
Tbo lour great cables, that droop as mod
estly from their towers as four white
washed Bologna sausages, do not attract
much remark, since the rushing objects
beneath, the long line of coasters, many
sorts of steamboats and lighters, all won
derfully exposed to notice, since their
docks and upper works are for tho first
time, lully visible lo every spectator, turn
the eye to other things
Nona of Rmh.
ling's bridges seems lighter than this, tho
i m posing naluro of the to wers and cables and
breadth of the bridge making one almost
forgot that it is the cables which are doing
too worn, l no bridge is as solid as a
turnpike road in the middle of the coun
try; it neither rattles nor trembles, and
however nervous one is steppins over it
at first, ho soon focls secure and feasts his
eyes on the cvor opening panoramas.
Though I crossed in rather a raw Maroh
day, I hardly observed the wind. Broad
way Lounger in New York Tribune.
Woodstock has had 108 Inches of snow

A St. Johnsbury dispatch, April 13,
says: "It rained here all night and soft
ened the deep snow on the Dill roads so
that tennis cannot be used. To-day is

Mativ formers will not attempt to suear
on account of the snow. Unless freezing

DlKD.st Montpelier, Vt March 22, 1883, Mrs. LOUISE
L, UILiMAN , ag-od Si years.
Mrs. Oilman had been a member of
Trinity church at Montpelier for about
eight years. She was a consistent Chris
tian amid trials and afflictions. Her lot
seemed peculiarly hard in the loss of her
friends. Hut a few years since her husband
died. After her home was broken up she
found a welcome with her beloved sister
the late Mrs. W. N. Feok, who was taken
from her by death just eleven months
before her own decease. Her only child,
a son of but 25 years of age, lay at the
point of death for weeks previous to her
own death, and died but four days after
his monthtr's funeral. She leaves a ven
erable and saintly mother, who deeply
mourns and yet is comforted. We trust
it is well with the departed. God bless
the living. d. e. m.

Mauvklous Cuhe or Stone'in the Bladder
Larue Stones Removed by 'Kennedy's
Favoritb Remedy."
From the Pittsjield (Mass.,) Eavle.
Stone in the Bladder In at once a most annoying and
very dangerous aliment; but many moat remarkable
cures havo of late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favor
ite Remedy"-the invention of Dr. Kennedy, of Ron
dout, N. Y. Another striking case la now added to the
list. Mr. Poter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass., Btates In a
letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with
bladder complaint for U years, aud had consulted at
differeut times seven physicians; but nothing beyond
temporyallayment of the pain had been worked for
him. Towards the end of laat January Mr. Lawler
called on Dr, Kennedy. Sounding him, the doctor
"struck stone." He decided that Mr. Lawler should
first try the "Favourite Remedy" so as. If possible, to
avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable re
sult: "Dear Dr. KennedyThe day after I came
home I passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely
now. If you would like to see tho stones I will send
them to you." This letter bears date "Dilton Mais.,
Feb. 6." aud if signed "Peter Lawler." The stones,
which are so large as to warrant for "Kennedy's Fa
vorite Remedy" the claim that it,lB the most succesBfuj
Bneciflc for Stone vet discovered, are now in Dr. Kn-
Uttdy'd poflflsninu. Incodetaljy Mr, Lawler also Btates
uiattne 'f avourite nemeuy" at tne name time cured
him of a stubborn case of rheumatism ; and it is a fact
that In all an'ectiona arising out of disorders of the it-
ver or urlueary organg it la a searching remedy and
