D. Dbl is singular fact and rot
easily accounted for, that nearly al the
Doctors Of Divinity in Vermont, are
to be found on the west side Of the mount
ain. We can call to mind sixteen DDS
Of various denominations on the west
side, while we know Of only three on the
cast. aud two Of these were created Sith-
in few months. Are we to take this
as a reflection on the east-sids ministers,

WEsTFIELD GRAMMAR SoBooL.-
The fall term of this institution closed
on Tuesday, the 20th instant. The pub
lie examination occupied the two last
days, and was highly creditable to both
teachers and scholars, showing unusua
evidence of thorough training and cor
rect knowledge Of the several branchet
of study. Tuesday evening, the rheior

crowded house. The speaking was ex
callent. Particular mention should b,
made OF Messrs. Stebbins, Wood, an,
Annis of Wes.feId Elkins and Hamil
ton Of Troy Bartlett Of Jay; and man,
others. In my judgment, the peIfor
nance Of these young gentlemen wa
excellent, while the sedate Thurber per

institution must stand as the banne
school" of the county, as am infcrme
it is highest in point of numbers, reacf

their skill and thoroughness as teacher
