TIE Annual EXuIBlTloN Of the Jun
Tor Glass in College, came off on Tues
day evening of last week. a large and
happy looking audience of young people
principally, filled the chapel at an carly
hour The class appeared unusually
we'll and fired off some very fine speech
es. If it were not invidious we should
be glad to discriminate, If we have de-
generacy among us. it is certainly not
evidenced in our College Exhibitions
We think they are fully up to the mark
of what they used to be, when we were
permitted to sit with other good boys,
on the steps of the stage. The exercises
we're enlivened by Farr's Serenade Band.
The evening was delightful to the last,
and the usual romance of hurrying home
through the rain, with your sweet heart,
under the bower Of a blue cotton umbrel-
10, was intormitted in the programme.
OK WEDNESDAY EVENING about early
candle light, collection of young Amer
leans gathered at the court house, to con-
suit about the Tree Business, and to hear
the gentlemen who was announced as
never having addressed SO large an au-
dience before" The gentleman was not
present. or did not come forward though
earnestly called for a good degree Of
the right kind Of spirit prevailed, and it
was severally agreed in open meeting
that within the week each man should
see at least one good thrifty tree plant
cd within the limits Of the village. FIT
ty were pledged on the spot; they were
TO be maple, elm or linden, and it was
agreed that willows should not come in,
at any price Accordingly during the
week, the trees have marched in, like
Birnam Wood in Macbeth, and almost
every live man in the village has them
now properly billetted on his premises.
And now BOYS for Young America
must do tit is timo for you to take
up the matter of side walks. 1t seems
to us that the times past are sufficient
wherein TO have waded and stumbled a.
bout our streets. 1t is time to inaugu-
rate new period. 1t is indeed, Cmiuous,
that our best walk leads to the grave
yard, Unless you are willing to see our
business follow in that line Of travel, do
something this very summer to put US
or as good footing as our neighbors.
There is no country village with greater
capabilities of improvement than our
own. a little attention and proper
direction of moneys belonging to the vii
lage every man looking out for his
own share, and the Trustees assuming a
little responsibility will bring about
great changes

iished in West Addison. and Wheeler
French is appointed Postmaster.
THE NERCLNNEs CITIZEN Informs ms
that the new Scale Company have organ'
lied. and are about to increase the num-
Der of their workmen. 1t is a little Gu
rious that an uncommercial State like
our own, should furnish at St Johnsbury

ure for almost the whole civilized world.
Success, say we, to the spirited new COM
