WEDNESDAY. APRIL FL. 1880. !
To the subscribers of the Lancaster Gazette
Having discontinued the publication of the
Lancaster Gazette, the subscribers have dis
posed of the materials thereof to Messrs. S. Fl.
Cotton q Co., publishers of The Massachusetts
Spy. They have also transferred to the Spy
the list Of subscribers to the Gazette, and have
made such an agreement as that they can be
supplied with the Spy in lieu of the Gazette, if
it be agreeable to them, on the terms of their
present subscription. Such as have paid in
advance tos any term of time can receive the
Spy (without any additional charge) till tie
expiration of such term or if they desire it
their advance pay will be refunded. The ac-
counts of those no have recently settled for
the Gazette, and of those who lately commence
ed taking it, in case they should receive the
Spy. will be transferred TO Messrs. Cotton & Co.
with whom a settlement can be made at the
proper season, they being authorised to receive
what may be due on account Of the Gazette.
We can. with great confidence, recommend
the Spy TO our late subscribers as highly
usefu! paper and we do not entertain a
doubt that such as consent to tn" transfer Of
their subscription will have abundant cause TO
be satisfied with the change.

Lancaster, April 81, 1880.
The above notice of an arrangement entered
into by the publishers of the Lancaster Gazette
and of the Spy, was intended to have been pub
iished in the last number of the Gazette, but by
an accidental occurrence it was omitted The
readers Of that paper will perceive, that such of
them as are satisfied with the arrangement, will
in future receive the Spy instead of the Ga
zette. II will be forwarded to all the subscrib.
ers who were not already subscribers to this pa
per, until we are requested to discontinue it,
and all who continue to receive it without Civ
ing US such notice, will be entered as subscrib.
crs on our books. In examining the list, we
recognize a considerable number of the old
friends and patrons Of the Spy, whom we cor
daily greet, assuring them that our best en-.
deavours shall be steadily directed to the object
OF making paper that shall meet their wishes
and expectations. The union of the two estab-
lishments affords an inducement for exertion,
which neither Of them separately could possess,
and we trust that the stimulus will not be with
out its desired effect.
CENTER SCHOOL DISTRICT. The anniversa-
ry of Schools in the village of Worcester, was
celebrated on Wednesday last We were una
Bile to attend, but understand that the Schools
from some of the other districts in the town
Joined in the procession, and that the scene was,
as usual, highly interesting. The address was
delivered by Isaac Davis, Esq.
The annual meeting of the district was held
on Saturday last, when it was voted to continue
the present Infant School, and to in troduce the
same system into one of the Primary Schools.
portion of the apparatus of Infant Schools is
tobe introduced into the other Primary Schools.
The following persons were chosen overseers
of the District for the ensuing year, viz: Rev.
J. Gong, Rev. A. Hill, Rev. R. A. Miller, Rev.
J. s. c. Abbot, o. Corbett, N. Heard, |. Davis,
J. M. Earle, A. D. Foster, l. Washburn, ]. S.
Butler, and P. Goddard. At meeting of the
Board on Monday, J. Going was elected Presi.
dent, and A. D. Foster, Secretary thereof.
EDUCATION. The convention of teachers
and others who feel an interest in the
cause of education was held in this town last
week. Owing to the state of the weather many
were prevented from being present at the COM
mencement of the session, who after wards at
tended. During the three last days, closing on
Friday evening, the number attending was full
as large as could have been expected. Three
sessions day were held for business, during
which several interesting discussions were had
in which the most prominent defects in the sys-
tenn Of education were treated of, and remedies
proposed, both in relation to the modes of in
struction and the books to be used In these
discussions, much interesting and valuable in
formation was communicated, and we believe
that the opinion universally prevailed, that the
time had been usefully spent. A County Asso-
citation was formed and organized. Further
particulars will probably be given hereafter
The Boston Statesman continues its compar-
ison Of the votes recently given for Governor
with those given for Presidential Electors in
1928, and then exultingly exclaims, the jack
son party has gained eight thousand votes in
Massachusetts, in little more than single year."
False, as il knows this assertion to be, it will
nevertheless persist in it, as part of the Jack

Jackson men, who voted for Judge Morton, will
probably feel some Indignation at finding them
selves thus unceremoniously chained to the
Jackson car. They should recollect, however,
that they were admonished Of this before the
election, and that it is by their own voluntary
act, that the Jackson men are furnished with
