SCHOOL MEETiNG.-lh he annual Sch Dol
meeting for this (village) district, was held
at the school house on Tuesday evening,
and we are glad to add, passed off with
much quiet. The report of the Pruden-
tial Committee on the finances, was very
favorable. Old and new accounts have
nearly all been settled, and there was a
handsome balance in the treasury of some
$500. Their estimates for another year
were also favorable. They recommend
that the school shall hereafter be taught
SO weeks in the year, instead of AZ as
heretofore. This would make some saving
of expense, so much desired by all, and at
the same time retain the present system,
and the meeting by vote adopted this
plan. The matter of making alterations in
the school house so as TO better convene or
divide, if necessary, the primary school,
which has become too large for one school,
was referred TO the discretion of the Pru-
DENTAL Committee. The tax payers will
be glad TO learn that the school tax for the
year ensuing, will be a third less than last
year. 1t was voted TO raise 20 cts. on the
dollar for the support of the schools, and if
there is any surplus, it is to,be applied to
the debt of the district. This makes to-
tai Of 80 cts. Last year it was SO.
The meeting was called to order by
George Slate, district clerk, and Col. Asa
Wentworth, Jr., was elected chairman, and
the following officers were elected for the
year ensuing; Cierk, George Slate. P,u-
Dental Committee, DR.. S. NJ. Blake, John
w. Church, and S. S. Coolidge. Treasur-
er, Asa Wentworth, Jr. Auditors, Merrick
Wentworth, Dr. S. Nichols, A. s. Clark
Frank II. Chandler, employed in Mr..
Nutting's Organ Shop, has got the real
musico-mechanical genius. He has recent
perior merit as musical instruments, one of
which has already been sold.
William Nutting, Jr.. is building an adj
dition to his Organ Shop, made necessary
by an order TO build larger organ than he
has before made, for the Episcopal church
at Claremont. Our Claremont friends may
rest assured of not only getting good or
gan, but one which will be well finished
We learn also that another church in Clare
mont talk of getting one of Mr.. Nutting's
organs. If they want one they can hardly
do better. Mr.. Nutting is very worthy
gentleman, and we are glad TO observe the
favor with which his organs are received.
