Wales and his Royal Majesty King Edward (Take off your hats, Sire) ought to be good enough for the citizens of Ayer\u2019s Cliff.That my worthy cofrere should take some of Ogilvie\u2019s Feed Flour and try to make out that his was the best, was quite in order.Ogiivie does make feed filour, but no one ever tries to sell it for human consumption except the Ayers Cliff Mill, He likes the name

Spalding\u2019s next Sat- | urday.Miss Bertha Breaky spent Sunday at her home in Libbytown.Mr.and Mrs.Lucien P.Jenne of Derby, were calling on friends in town yesterday.Mr.J.A.Begin is at home from

\u201cMr.John Sivright told us this morning of being in his sugar place recently and seeing woodchucks out.This indicates » mild spring or that the chucks are off their record as weather seers.There are other things that are similar in natural signs that indicate unsteady weather conditions.Word received from Mr.William M.Pike from Cuba creates an aggrivated feeling, for they are basking in warm, sunshiny weather, dressed in summer clothing and a panama hat, while we are the opposite in every respect.The grape fruit crop is not quite up to last season, evidently, but very fair.They expect to be home the middle or last of next week.We listened attentively a few days ago to the narration of a combat between two grown people of the tenderer sx and a dead mouse.We understood that a live mousey would put to flight an army of mothers and daughters, but the power of a dead mouse is a new factor in the problem.these facts can be used in the House of Commons to eliminate the terrible suffereggetts and possibly it would work well on Carrie Nation.Imagine a combat between Carrie, armed with her hatchet and a dead mouse.Possibly it is unfair for us to reveal or recall this weak place in woman\u2019s armor, but it was made so realistic to us that we wrote this without thinking of the consequonces.One picture in the narrative will always remain with us, that of the husband returning to his home and finding the two ladies of the house standing on top of the table, and even at that height showing anxiety for the outcome of the act on the floor, where Mrs.Pussy was tossing up and down a dead mouse.There is a suggestion of mind control in this, and that it may work in many ways.7 We can see the practical use to which |\u201d TOWN TOPICS.Tne total snow fall to date is 964;

employ of Butterfleld & Co., about 25 years, and in charge of their wood shop, has resigned the position of foreman.He is succeeded by Fred Perkins, a young man, who has been with Butterfield & Co.for some years.Mr.Ritchie will remain in the shops at his old salary.His advancing years and rather poor health made it seem better for him to be relieved of the responsibility of superintending the work, and better to have it fall on younger shoulders, Mr.Ritchie is one ot the oldest and most faithful employés of the company, ard enjoys their fullest confidence and regard.It is hoped that the change, while it does not reduce bis income, will make bis work easier by reason of his freedom from the responsibility which he has oarried these many years so faithful and well.| ville, and Miss Olympe

open and no one about, found himself a bed and made himself comfortable.In the morning, Mr.Lothrop asked what he could do for him and received the reply that he had bad a good night\u2019s rest but no money to pay for his lodging.On further inquiry Mr.Lothrup learned that he wanted to get work in the mills, after which he would pay for bis lodging.The genial proprietor took him to the dining room and gave him a good breakfast.Mr.Doe, taking pity on the boy, gave him work.He was rather rcluctant about giving any information regarding bimeelf, or his home, merely stating that he had a sister living in Montreal, but could not remember her address.Tuesday morning, bowever, some one appeared from Knowlton, P.Q., looking for a boy of his description, and it now transpires that he had been

were in ald of the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the earthquake in Sicily and Southern Italy.His Grace, preaching from Genesis IL, 1, skid that twenty years ago, inquiry, Mr.Gladstone declared that the sunrise over the Straits of Messina was the most striking thing he had witnessed by way of natural beauty.Less than three weeks ago, when the sun rose over the Straits of Messina, on the morning of Holy Innocents\u2019 Day, its light revealed the greatest catastrophe, as regarded loss of human life, that the world, so far as we knew, had ever seen.No question here of buman wrongdoing or of human war or strife, or even of human carelessness, but simply what, in the old legal phraselogy, was called \u2018the act of od.Was that they asked themselves, a true phrase?Did it jar upon the ear, and ought it thus to jar?It was a wholesome question for any thoughtful man.How often it must have recurred through the popular mind as the generations had passed.For though this appalling catastrophe was unique in its magnitade, there were probably no centuries in the world\u2019s story without such bappenings.The terror and pathos of the scenes witnessed at Mes- sina in 1783 served to give an unwonted subject to one of the most devout of English poets, the gentle, evangelical William Cowper.It was worth while to study some of his characteristic lines and to note his unhesitating ascription of the calamity to God's righteous judgment on human wrongdoing and unbelief.One hundred years had wrought a change in the view which devout men might take of problems such as those, and it was surely a not less reverent thought which bade us simply to bow the head in the presence of so bewildering an event.\u201cGod is in heaven and thou upon earth; therefore, let thy words be few.\u201d The lesson to be learnt from so solemn an event seemed to be the need and the possibility of some worthier grasp of the right proportion of things.We needed some vision of what our Lord would have us feel about the largeness of the life which the Creator gave us to spend here and hereafter for Him, of the euduring nature of the trust which surely could not thus have been ended once and for all, in a little moment, for 200,000 of Might it not be the voice \u2018as of a trumpet\u2019 bringing a reminder to us that this life is not all, and that in the Creator\u2019s realm there are things larger than we ordinarily see?His Grace went on to emphasize the reality and the urgency of the appeal.George H.Cross, The employes and friends of George H.Cross took occasion Saturday evening to celebrate his 73rd birthday anniversary, which was also the 43rd anniversary of his business career in St.Johnebury, by a surprise party at his residence on Church street.Mr.Cross is one of St.Johnsbury\u2019s oldest and most succesful business men, the head of the G.H.Cross Com; pany, the second largest bakery and confectionery concern in Vermont.Mr.Cross was born in Concord, N.H., but his parents moved to Montpelier, where his father, the late Charles H.Cross, built up a big business, which is now continued by his brother, L.Bart Cross.Mr.Cross was married at Fort Cov- ington, N.Y., to Miss Ellen Matthews.Two children have been borne to them, Jennie, wife of Dr.J.F.Trull of the Trull Hospital at Biddeford, Me., and Harry M.in company with his father, and the junior member of the firm of G.C.Cross & Co.Mr.Cross is a director in the Merchants\u2019 National Bank, president of the St.Johnsbury Board of Trade, president of the St.Johnsbury Gas Company a deacon of the North Congregational Church, and both he and his accomplished wife have always been prominent and progressive in all the public activities of the community.At Saturday night\u2019s party Harry I.Pickering, the oldest employe in Mr.Cross\u2019 factory, presented him 73 beautiful roses and a handsome water set as souvenirs of the occasion.Annual Institute for Librarians.The annual institute for public librarians, authorized by act of the recent legislature, will be beld at St.Johnsbury next July.This was decided by the board of library commissiners at its annual meeting.The 8t.Johns- bury Academy has promised its lecture halle, dormitories, and dining- rooms, with all their conveniences, for the use of the institnte.The increased appropriation will permit a more extended course of instruction.The growing interest throughout New England in library work in the rural schools is encouraging the bope of the Vermont board of libray commissioners that this institute will be of great help to the state in the improvement of its schools and libraries.The dunning letter may also come 0 be ignored se an fllegal contrivance in restraint of teade.To Push Vermont Sweets.Victor I.Spear of Randolph, T.G.Bronson of Hardwick and G.H.Soule of Fairfield, comprising the publicity committee of the Vermont Maple 8u- gar Makers\u2019 Association have begun a campaign to make Vermont maple sugar and syrup better known throughout the United States.Believing that the industry is by no means pushed for all there is in it in the state, they will by advertising and personal work endeavor greatly to increase the output.They have the aid of the Vermont Forestry Association, which is urging the farmers to spare the young sugar maples when cutting firewood.The committee will endeavor to get in touch with proper persons in all parts of the Union, and through them make known more extensively the fine quality of pure Vermont maple sugar, now seldom sold in an adulterated state from this state because of the state and national pure food laws.There is considerable sugar left over from last season because of the general depression in the markets.Mr.Spear says, but this will be sold off to confectioners and tobacconists before new sugar arrives on the market.Maple sugar is a favorite sweetener for tobacco, and much old sugar is disposed of in this way.Mr.Bronson says that Vermont farmers lose thousands of dollars each year by not taking advantage of making sugar.They are too apt to stick to the methods used by their fathers.Gift For Mothers\u2019 Club.The Mothers\u2019 club of West Charleston have received from the Jamaica Plain branch of the Cheerful Letter exchange of Boston a gift of 54 books for a circulating library.These books many of which are new, are collected and sent out by ladies of this Massachusetts society \u2018In His Name,\u201d thas is, for the purpose of doing good in the country villages far from the great libraries of the cities.They consist of stories, biography, natural history, travel and a few books for children.Books have been donated by other friends also, malting 70 volumes in all, and it is hoped that many more books such as are useful and of high moral tone will be given.The library has been placed in a bandsome bookcase in the reading room, and Miss Grace Knight appointed librarian.The reading room will be open every evening and a choice variety of periodicals will be found on the tables, but thé books of the cireu- lating library will be given out once a week from 5 till 7 Saturday after- BOONs.New Superintendent of Sanatorium.Dr.Walter C.Klotz has been elected superintepdent and medical director of the Vermont Sanatorium at Pittsford, vice Dr.Henry D.Chadwick, who resigned to take a similar position in Massachusetts.Doctor Klotz was educated at Colgate University and graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons New York city, in 1898.He was interne in the city hospital in 1898 and 1899, studied abroad in 1900, and engaged in private practice in New York from 1901 to 1907, during which time he was also associated with the Roosevelt hospital as assistant surgeon to the out patient department.From 1901 to 1904 he was also clinical assistant in the Cornell University medical school of New York city.Since May, 1908, he has been assistant physician in the Stony Wold sanatorium for tuberculous patients in the Adirondacks.Doctor Chadwick expects to leave the sanatorium March 1, and Dr.Klotz will assume charge at that time.A Shining Mark What Parisian Sage did for Chas.8.Baker, it

ssting of the Shareholders of the Eastern Townships Bank was held in the Room of the Bank, at Sherbrooke, Que., at $ 0\u2019- clock on Wednesday, December 2nd.There were nt: \u2014Mesars.Wm.Par- well, 8.H.C.Miner, C.H.Kathan, Gardner Stevens, A.C.Flummerfelt, G.G.Foster, K.O.; O.A.Robertson, W.E.LeBaron, C.C.Davis, F.M.Sherman, F.N.McCrea, W.R.Webster and Matthew Read.The President acted as chairman, and the General Manager as secretary.Messrs.C.O.Davis and W.E.LeBaron were appointed as scrutineers of votes.The Directors\u2019 report was as follows: \u2014 In submitting the financial statement for the past year your Directors believe that the result will be considered satisfactory by the shareholders, showing as it does net earnings on the current year's business exceeding twelve per cent., out of which a dividend of eight per cent.has been paid, and also, a nus to the Employees, and a Grant to the Officers Guarantee Fund, leaving a balance of $215,305.98 to be carried forward.Owing to the general financial disturbance, more particularly affecting the United States, where several banks and Trust Companies temporarily suspended, your Directors felt it advisable to use extreme caution, and to materially strengthen the cash reserves and quick assets which somewbat lessened the earning power for the period under review.Early in the year your Bank joined a number of other Banks and came to the relief of the depositors and customers of the Sovereign Bank by taking over several Branches and assuming certain responsibility in connection therewith.By adopting this course it prevented any financial disturbance and we are glad to announce to our shareholders that such responsibility will entail no loss to the underwriting Banks.The severe drouth during the summer has caused serious loss to the country generally in certain parts of Canada, as well as loss to the pulp and timber interests by fire.Better prices, however, are being realized, which will recoup the sufferers to a great extent, so that this may not be as serious as many anticipated.The crops throughout the Northwest of Canada have been the largest in the bistory of the country, and as transportation facilities bave been greatly increased satisfactory results to tbe country will be achieved much more quickly than in previous years, and as a result of which a large sum of money will be almost immediately available for Western Canada.On the whole the outlook is encouraging, but great economy should be continued in order that the country may retain its strong financial position.Our Bank and Office Building in Montreal will be ready for occupation next May.It is gratifying to be able to report that the offices are rapidly being leased by desirable tenants, and that the Bank will have a home in the business centre of Canada at a net cost to the shareholders that will compare favourably with other financial institutions.The building itself will not only be an ornament to the city of Montreal but should be a permanent source of profit and pride to our shareholders.Your Directors regret to have to record the death of one of their members in the person of the late Mr.Newell W.Thomas, of Coaticook, who held the position as Director of this Bank for over 20 years.The vacancy created by his death will have to be filled at this meeting of the Shareholders.The Head Office and Branches have as usual been inspected during the year.In conclusion your Directors desire to record their appreciation of the zoal and attention of the General Manager as well as the other officers of the ank.Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM FARWELL, President.Sherbrooke, Que., 2nd December, 1908.The President, in presenting the report, commented favorably on the showing and dwelt specifically on the financial situation of the country generally.He was followed by the Vice-President, the General Manager and others, with short addresses.Votes of thanks were passed to the President and Directors,
