Being in a good basil West River Towns TOWNSHEND. Public Installations. It was a delightful occasion that brought together the members of the Relief corps, Birchard post, and their invited guests, Saturday. At II o'clock a dinner was served that all thoroughly enjoyed.

Remarks were made by the two resident pastors, and a brief time given for the exchange ot thought among the members and their friends. The officers of the Relief corps were installed by Mrs. L. W. Bush, assisted by Mrs.

Mary Gray, who did it in a very graceful manner, bringing out the meaning of this beautiful and impressive service. The following officers were installed President, Mrs. W. H. Miles; senior vice-president, Mrs.

Herbert Howe; junior vice-president, Mrs. John Grout; secretary, Mrs. Delia Carpenter; treasurer, Mrs. John D. Pierce; conductor, Mrs.

Mary Gray; assistant conductor, Mrs. Luella Parsons; guard, Mrs. Polly Ballon; assistant guard, Mrs. A. B.

Franklin; delegate to state encampment, Mrs. Alice 'Pierce; alternate, Mrs. Polly Ballou. Then followed the installation of Birchard post, by Col. A.

B. Franklin, assisted by Col. W. H. Miles.

The address by Colonel Franklin was one of the best he has given in Townshend. It was eloquent and well received. All felt that yermont, from an educational and progressive point of view, was Btill safe. He spoke out of a large experience of 16 years on the road, in a number of states, in many communities, meeting conservative and insurgent, he, with his state, belonging to the former rather than the latter. In other words, he was no insurgent.

Joe Cannon, an abused statesman in our land, on leaving his speaker's chair the other day for the floor of congress to speak in behalf of the aged soldiers, did that which would bring him lasting honor. His address appealed to G. A. R. men and was warmly applauded.

The following officers were installed: Commander, Henry C. Franklin; senior vice-commander, M. R. Pratt; junior vice-commander, Emory Howard; surgeon, John D. Pierce; quartermaster, H.

A. Carpenter; chaplain, L. W. Bush; O. John Grout; 0.
