Since 1876 the St. Johnsbury Or chestra has held its way without any change as to membership which is something remarkable. But a break has come at last, owing to the depart ure of Edgar Aubrey, the first violinist, who eoes West this week. Doubtless this will call a temporary halt in the affairs of the orchestra, as it will not be easv to till Aubrev's place.

His associates will miss him greatly. Col. T. C. Fletcher intends going to look over the Western country as soon as he can arrange his business matters here.

There is prospect of a change in the firm of T. C. Fletcher cfc Co. in the near future. There will doubtless be a dissolution, when either Mr.

Sprague will take the business, or Mr. Fletcher will carry it on alone until he can otherwise dispose of it. The matter is not yet decided. As we announced week before last, the Y. M.

C. A. social committee pro pose to hold a series of "socials" for the purpose of bringing members and friends together for lietter acquain tance. The first of the series will be given, probably at the hall in Brown's block, on Thursday evening of next week. This initiatory one will be es pecially for members, aud there will lie a short literarj and musical programme aside from the social opportu nities of the evening.

This is not the first time that special agents have spoken in commendable terms of the work of the department, and coming as it does from those who are authorized in such matters, the boys have reason to feel satisfied with their efforts.

Acidity of the stomach will destroy the strongest teeth unless its efleets are counteracted with SOZODONT, and this pure toothwash pro tects the dental surfaces by removing every im. purity that adheres to them.

Ask your druggist for SOZODONT. 33-36 One farmer found 'out last year 'how to. get the beat of the potato bug. He aays Pobtsmouth, N. Deo.

19, 1881 I have used Bradley's Phosphate but one 'year, but I must say it has given me better satisfaction than any other brand I have ever tried, and I have had them by the car-load and know whereof I speak. I find in conversation with leading farmers about here that Bradley's Phosphate is giving general satisfaction. I used it for potatoes, putting on a liberal coat of manure, and using five hundred lbs. of the Phosphate in the drill per acre. The result was, I harvested two hundred bushels of potatoes per acre in this poor year.

The tops grew so fast the bugs could not keep up. For root crops the result was equally as good. CHARLES H. HATES. Mr.

GRAT, St. Jofansbory, April 10, 1832. The authorities assert that there are more Danville parties to be dealt with in due time, and there is also a house of unsavory reputation on which a raid will be made as soon as sufficient proof against it can be obtaied. Several of the Danville victims who couldn't pay their fines, have gone to the workhouse at Rutland. The P.

O. Controversy. A circular from the first assistant postmaster general, Frank Hatton, in answer to Postmaster Carpenter's re cent letter concerning the adjustment of the Railroad street post office question, decides the matter pretty effect ually. The department holds that "the policy of permitting private per sons to put up boxes in their places of business, to be rented to the public for the reception of their mail, is objectionable, diminishing, as it necessarily must, the number of boxes that would otherwise be rented at the post offices." Mr. Carpenter, in common with other postmasters, is advised that "where application is made to them for the delivery of letters addressed to others than the party claiming such delivery, and it is evidently the purpose of the parties making the application to make distribution of the mail matter in boxes provided at their private offices, the delivery should be refused, except of letters addressed to the person making the application." "Postmasters are forbidden to keep general callers waiting in order to pick out the.

mail for an indefinite number of persons upon the application of the agent employed by them. Persons giving such au order should be served in the same manner as they would be if they were to call in person." There is some talk of application for a regularly instituted post office on Railroad street or in Summerville, but no definite course of action has been decided upon. Easter Services. Easter Sunday was observed, to a greater or less extent, in all the St. Johnsbury churches.

The day dawned clear and bright, as Easters geneially do, Nature being in full sympathy with the gladness attendant on the anniversary of our Lord's resurrection. The attendance at all the churches was large, and the several services were more or less interesting. at st. Andrew's the day was appropriately observed. Services were held at 7 a.

10:30 a. m. and 5 p. and were largely attended especially in the forenoon and afternoon. The chancel was very handsomely decorated with a profu sion ot nowers, prominent among which was a beautiful collection of call a lilies.

The choir rendered a full choral service, with the exception of the Psalter, which was read reepon-sively as usual. At the forenoon ser vice the rector, Rev. Mr. Fisher, deliv ered a sermon based upon the suggestions and significance of the glad Easter season. The afternoon services were especially for the children, for whose benefit the rector explained the meaning of Easter aud recounted the incidents of the two or three days pre ceding the resurrection of our Lord.

AT THE NORTH CHURCH Rev. A. W. Wild preached an Easter sermon from the text in Mark xvi 6, 'He is risen he is not here" and 1st Cor. xv 14, "And if Christ is not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." The choir rendered appropriate musical selections.

The floral decorations were very beautiful, consisting of a handsome cross of calla lilies, a cross of azaleas, vnd a separate collection of roses and callas. Owing to the absence of the super intendents, there was no Easter con- in the evening. AT THE SOUTH CHURCH Rev. Henry Fairbanks officiated and preached a sermon appropriate to the day from the text "And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircum-cision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses." The choir sang with special reference to Easter senti ment, and the platform was decorated with a quantity of cut flowers and pot plants, including callas, azaleas, etc. In the evening the exercises were especially interesting, and very largely attended.

The programme was made up of responsive recitations of Scripture, interspersed with music by the choir and school, and recitations by the children. AT THE FREE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Mr. Lockhart preached an East er sermon from the text "And if I lie lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." The choir added to the interest of the sermon with an Easter anthem. The platform was tastefully ornamented with flowers, chief among which was a handsome cross of white azaleas, roses and smi-lax, presented by C.

F. Gibba a seasonable and thoughtful gift. AT THE METHODIST CHURCH the services had special reference to Easter, and in the evening the Sunday school held an Easter concert. The exercises consisted of pertinent recitations and music by the children, with readings by older ones and music by the choir. The altar was decorated to some extent with flowers and plants.

AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH the floral decorations were arranged with more than usual taste and care. Rev. Father Boissonnault being oblig ed to officiate at Lyndonville, the morning services here were somewhat abridged. The services of the after noon were conducted with the pomp and splendor peculiar to the church at this season. The singing was render ed by the convent choir with taste and expression.

AT THE CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH. The Easter concert at the Church of the Messiah was attended by a crowded house, and was interesting throughout. St. Johnsbary. VU, Friday.

The Monday night's special school meeting threw the building question right back to where it was in August last, when the subject was first broach ed. The meeting was called at the school-house, but adjourned to town hall because of lack of room.

The first thing done was to authorize the continuance of the present arrange ment with the academy. Then the first article of the warning was taken up to see if the district would vote to rescind the vote of last August iu re gard to building and the tug of war began. Judge Ross, iu order to bring the matter before the house, moved to dismiss the article and then explained at some length the needs of 'the district, where the demand for more room was most urgent, etc. He closed by saying that it came around simply to the question of whether we should keep up the graded system or abandon it. C.

E. Doying deprecated the building of a new house on the Plain, but wanted more room at Paddock village, and thought this would relieve the Union school building. Judge Ross explained that it would not help the matter, since the trouble was in the two highest grades. Elisha May rather favored giving Paddock village a show, and didn't favor putting up a $20,000 school-house. Prof.

Fuller was willing that Paddock vil lage should have more room when it was necessary, but that didn't do away with the need of more room on the Plain. He said St. Johnsbury's school tax was light compared with that of other towns, and gave figures to prove it. W. H.

Wright wanted more room, but thought it could be had by additions to the present building. E. F. Brown thought $20,000 was a little high, and it ought to be done for less. He wanted to know, anyway, just what a new house was to cost, and thought a limit should be set.

After considerable more discussion the vote on the dismissal of the article was taken and resulted 73 in favor and 78 against. Elisha May then moved to rescind the vote taken last August which was carried by 93 to 36. Art. 3, which under the circum stances was of no use except to raise funds to pay for the land just bought from the village, was laid on the table. Article 4 to see about additional facilities for school purposes was then taken up.

Mr. Gorham favored fitting up the old armory and using that temporarily for school-rooms. On motion of N. M. Johnson, the chair nominated a committee of five to re port plans for additional school-room, at an adjourned meeting.

The com mittee finally selected were E. May, Harvelin Paddock, Geo. L. Bradley, A. H.

McLeod and Rev. E. T. Sand-ford. Adjourned to meet at same place two weeks hence, Monday, April 24, at 7 p.

m. There was evidently an acquiescence in the need of more room, but the great object in view seemed to be to get the additional room at the lowest possible rate. The Paddock village delegation are rather anxious to be re membered, and are likely to receive consideration at the hands of the com mittee appointed. Suggestions and plans are numerous, and just which of these plans will be embodied in the report of the committee on the 24th is by no means certain. The question seems likely to be an open one for some time to come but it is certainly for the interest of the district that ev ery motive save the greatest good for the greatest number be set aside, and something done as soon as possible.
