their Kingdom. And it also came to pass, that

And ii came to pass that he issued an appeal to
females and the men at home, harranguing
them, and presiding the doctrine Of Charity
And this appeal found its way UP among the
Mountains, and 10 the people Of East Dorset
did call the young and mdde-aged, and they who
we're well stricken in years, together. And Ira
the King Of Stone, did call to them in . loud
voice, saying, behold our distressed Land is needy

hold council together. and said one unto another,
let Us 60 up into the Land Of the prophet Daniel,
and show unto his followers the necessity Of our
warriors, and let Us call TO them to show their
love o. holy things. And il came to pass that
Ira the King Of Stone did 80 up into the land Of
Daniel the prophet. and be cried unto them with
loud voice Saying, come forth ys followers Of
Daniel and do We . good work for the Lord. And
his sayings did touch their hearts. and they did

prRu MON SCHOOL.

In the End No. Of the Vermont Quarterly Ga
zetiesr We End the following statement "In 1880
the first Select School was started Gin PERU
through the influence Of ESQ Bigelow; the term,
four weeks. aud nothing taught except Grammar.
After tina, no Select School was taught unta about
Ie48 or o." Those who were inhabitants Of the
town 10 1880, and we're also present TO witness
the closing exercises Of our High School, on Fri
day, Nov. IS, 1861. must have fit that some
progress has been male, at least in educational
matters.
The last three Fall terms Of the school have
been under the direction OF female teachers, and
very successful. But few OF our College gradu-
ates close their school terms with systematic,
thorough and interesting examinations than those
have been, The FIRST TWO we're taught by Miss
Haynes, who adopts the Massachusetts method Of
teaching, in which she has been trained; the last
by Miss Julia Bstcheder, a member Of the last
class graduated at the Iiolyoke Female Seminary,
and both reside among US. Last week the school
room was tastefully trimmed with eyergreens,
with which the words Union" and WELCOME
we're written on the walls, preparatory for exam
nation day. The Dumber Of pupils, during the
term, has been between 80 and 40; and the
prompt, animated, orderly manner Of the various
exercises of the last day Of the term, doubtless
gave good assurance TO all concerned, (who were
PRESENT. that they had been subject to the disc-
pline Of ,corkmaa that needeth not to be asham-
ed. Some would probably object TO conducting
the recitatons 50 much in the way Of Questions
and Answers, instead Of tina, Of presenting Topics
for the purpose Of drawing out the mind Of the
pupil room almost crowded with spectators,
parents and friends Of the teacher and scholars,
gave gratifying evidence Of good degree Of in
terest, on the part of the people, in the cause Of
education. Owing to this fact, Miss B.. though
fitted for higher place, and wider field Of use
fulness, is to be employed in teaching one of the
District schools the coming winter. 1t 10 likely
that an unusually large proportion Of our teach
ers from year to year, are residents OF the town,
and would i, not be much better If every town in
the State would furnish well qualified teachers

1t not indicate more desirable state Of feeling
thu what is usual
Our schools, securing correct and thorough
mental, moral, and religious, culture Of our youth

success Of our Republican Institutions; and sure

the popular interest in them is not diminishing
but rather increasing. CITIZEN.
