t. We are obliged to go to press without
single liquor case" to report We hope
to be excused for this. inasmuch as it is the
first failure for several weeks. There was
some prospect Of a "casc' Wednesday morn
ing at the Centre. but the offender grew ran-
idly i'll after being warned bv the sheriff to
appear at court. and when the hour appointed
Tor the trial came, not making his appearance
the sheriff went after him and found him in
bed. The precise nature Of his disease we
have rot learned. The case was continued.
= The Concord n. H. papers of last
week, announce the appointment of J. p
BANCROFT of this village to be s,lpcrintend-
cnt of the New Hampshire Insane ASYLUM.
We understand that Dr. Bancroft accepts the
appointment and will enter upon the duties
of the office within few weeks. We con-
graduate the Trustees. who have made this
appointment. upon the acquisition of a man
so cminently qualified fer the responsible
place to which they have called him.
Dr. Bancroft commenced his professional
laborS here some twelve years since. and by
his industry and skill has established rcpu-
tation second to that cnioyed by very few if
any of his professional brethren within the
>:N.e. We regret the removal Of such a ply
sician from our midst. and the loss to our
village of citizen who has identified himself
50 heartily with efforts and enterprises hithcr-
to for the Improvement of the place. We are
confident that wide community in which he
has rendered his professional services will
share the regret of his more Immediate friends
and ncighbors that hr decides to leave the
sphere of his present labors to discharge the
duties of a higher place.
HIGH SCHoM~-Wc are sorry so few of
our citizens thought it worth while to attend
the closing exercises of the High School last
FRIDAY. Three gentlemen and two ladies.
with Il few boys and girls constituted the en-
tire audience The exercises were highly
crcditablc both to the scholars and to their
excellent instructor. Mr. Rankin We were
particularly pleased with the performances of
the advanced classes in Algebra. The Young
ladies' and gentlemen advanced to the black
board with an ease and confidence which was
fully justified by the rapidity and accuracy
with which they demonstrated some quite DIFF
iicult problems selected by the spectators
They had evidently been Thoroughly di>ci-
plincd. If any Of cur citizens vet have any
lingering doubts as to the advantages to be
derived from a system Of graded schools. we
recommend them to make few calls at the
High School. and they will be convinced.
