furniture just put up in the new School House
in this village, purchased of VIM. o. Haskell,
Boston, manufactured by Charles A. Cushing,
agent, at East Lebanon, N. II. The furniture
is all got up in good style, well polished, and is
highly spoken of by the many visitors of the
new House. The Committee made their con-
tract with the agent, Mr.. Cushing, who they
speak of as an honorable and reliable business
man. We were aware that the Committee
made considerable investigation as to quality
and price Of furniture, at different establish
ments before purchasing, and we are now salts
fed that they have got thorough, wel-made
work. We understand that all kinds of furni-
ture used in schools can be obtained by making
application to Mr.. Gushing, who resides at East
Lebanon, and we recommend the establishment
to the favorable notice of purchasers.
We omitted to state at the close of the ar
ticlc in our last paper about young man with
two wives, that john Burton Shaw was examin-
ed on charge Of bigamy, and held to bail for
his appearance at the next term of the County
Court, and in default of bail was committed to
!, Jail. Hitch was arraigned as an accessory, and
%Ethe examination adjourned for two weeks to al
low him time to procure witnesses, but COM
mittcd to Jail for want of some one to recognise
for him.

VERMONT MILITARY.--In the election of Cfli-
GERS in the Third Regiment V. V. NJ, at st.
Adams on the 18th inst, they had stormy
time, owing to slight put upon the Howard
of St. Adams, their claims to representation
in the Field Officers of the Regiment being en-
tlrely ignored by the other companies. The re-
suit was a rupture of the Regiment, and the
adoption of a resolution by the Howard and
Ransom Guards, to consider the propriety Of
organizing new battalion or requesting to be
transferred to the First Regiment, under the
command of Col. Joseph Bush.
The First Regiment will muster at Rutland
some time during the next summer, when in al
probability there will be half as many more
companies present as were mustered at Brandon
last au tumn.

Hghgate. In 1913, the present Bishop of Yer
