LOCAL TNTELLIG ENCE


This institution is remarkably successful
one. The number of pupils attending it is
large. It's anniversary exercises have just
closed, consisting of protracted and thorough
examination with the literary exhibition of the
graduating class. The writer of this notice
visited the seminary with some curiosity to
ascertain what are the elements that give it
success. Among the observable things are
first, the laborious devotion 10 the interests of
the instruction on the part of the principal
He evidently brings to his work that prime
element of success, thorough love for it, which
gives his genial disposition full scope. His UNI
firing activity and cheerfulness diffuses itself
over all and work and not ideness seems to be
the prevailing spirit.
A second noticeable thing is the extremely
fortunate selection of teachers in all branches
of instruction. Familiarity with their sub ects
was not more marked than certain aptitude
in teaching, which ever gives success to school
because the great object is the acquisition oil
knowledge. This is the main point, the thor
oughness of the instruction in mathematics,
Latin and French made it apparent that this is
one of the elements of the distinguished sue
cess of this seminary. Education there is sub
stantial and sure. The pupils evidently under
stood what they had learned.
A third element of success is the singular
adaptcdncss of the wife of the principal to her
sphere of mater famias. Under her guidance
| al, bn ,p,,;le lo1x Lib n and n
pleasant home like aspect is given to the whole
establis hment, without that unnatural stiffness
and restraint which are apt TO pervade such
schools. Mr.. circuit evidently owes great
deal to the gentle sway of his better half. ANY
parent who knows her must feel safe in COM
hitting his daughter TO her care.
A fourth element of success doubtless is thu
gymnastic exercises under the care of the Rev
Mr.. Clark, a christian gentleman and scholar
Those who have witnessed these means o
physical development and health speak highl,
of them but not having witnessed them per
sonaly, the writer is not well qualified tC
speak on this point.
A fifth element is undoubtedly the beauty ant
excellence OF the various buildings occupied D.
the school and their surroundings. 1t is
pleasant place to be in. The rooms are larg'
and well ventilated; while without the ampl'
shades, the grayelled walks, the flowers ant
fountain and garden, present as desirable
combination of things, calculated TO educate
he taste, and create pleasant home, as cal
well be grouped together. In fine the write
came away convinced that Mr.. CIRCUITS success
is not TO be wondered at.
There is one thing however which we mus
say Mr.. Orcutt will have TO do, out of mer
mercy to the large audiences which assemble a
his commandments. He must have an ampl
squeeze! 1t makes one faint TO think of it.

The COUNTY CONFERENCE.-The Bellows
Falls Times publishes the apportionment of
delegates to the County convention among the
several towns, upon the basis of the census of
1850. In our judgment the later census of
1860 has become operative, and the apportion-
ment for the next ten years, commencing with
this year, should he based upon the last
enumeration. At any rate this county this year
loses one Senator in consequence of the appor-
tionment of senatorial representation under the
census of 1860, and it seems but meet and
proper that the delegates to our county conven-
ton, based as they are upon population, should
be arranged to accord with the latest official
enumeration. We call attention to this fact
that there may be no misunderstanding in the
matter.

Mr.. Editor mo doubt you have seen, 60
ing the rounds of the papers IA paragraph to
the effect that the 9th regiment from Vermont
was the first to respond to the late call of the
of the President. Is this strictly true? The
9th Vermont was about filed up before that
call was made, probably not one man enlisted
since the call, ard the regiment would have
moved without such call. Honor to whom
honor is due. Let us see if old Massachusetts,
will not be the first to send new regiment in
response to the new call.-"G." in the Green

cratic Convention, much less in that of Dem

doing it no injustice TO say of it that it was
utterly unworthy of the name"
After speaking of the nominations made at

presentedi
Prospecting the Union Convention at Mont
pclier, we must frankly say that its character
and action have agreeably disappointed u.s. II
was not made a party Convention, nut was
really what its call proposed IL should oe-ano
what that of last year should have been--a
Union Convention. A Democrat, the Hon. s.
b. Colby, was appointed TO preside over 1t. a
Democrat, the Hon. Z. Dillingham;,

prominent in its ranks and faithful to It's prih-
ciples and its interests,-was nomlnatei ioi
Lieut.. Governor.-While on the State Commit
tee two well known Democrats, Mr.. EnglesOy
and Mr. Colby were generously placed as mem,
hers. All in this respect was done that could
have been asked. A fair and honest carrying
out of genuine Union programme was made
and Democrats have no ground Tor fault-hnd'
ing. 1t pleases, indeed. the editors OF the nut
land Courier and of the Bellotcs Falls Argus &c
denounce Mr.. Dillingham; as a renegade to hi:
old party But when such men as he are read
out of the Democratic party by John Cam and
Hiram Atkins we may safely conclude that II
is not Mr.. Dillingham; but themselves who are
the "outs," and that little else but the name
and form of Democracy remains with them"
In conclusion he avowes his determination tC
vote for the ticket nominated at Montpelier
In doing this he will but act in unison will
every patriotic man in the State who has here
,ofcre acted with the Democratic party. TIT
lines are drawn. The Union loving men are
with him, and all who sympathize with secession
and treason are on the other side.

RoCKINGHAM.-At a town meeting legally
warned and holden in Rockingham, on Satur-
day the 10Th inst, resolution was adopted
authorizing the Selectmen Of that town to give
bounty of 525 to each accepted recruit who,
at the time of his enlistment is a resident OF
that town-provided the Governor does not
offers less bounty than s25, the town will
only pay such additional sum as will make the
entire bounty 10 each recruit equal to S25.
The second resolution request the Governor to
offer bounty of $50 to each recruit. This is
eminently patriotic contingently and on condi-
tons. The town being greatly behind its quo
ia a state bounty of $50 would be fine thing
no doubt.

MATHEMATICS.

-Four classes have been presented to us for examna
ton in Mathematics, one each in Arithmetic, Geome-
try, Algebra and Trigonometry. There was nothing in
any of these classes except in part of the Trigo
nometry class that can be called brilliant recting; but
there something better than brilliant reciting in
all Of them, and that is, erdence that The minds Of thu
pupils had been fairly dealt nth. In Mathematics
beyond all other sciences and subjects it is useless ant
hopeless and cruel to take class bit faster
bit farther than their minds can readily and intel
gently go. This principle had evidently been kept ii
view by the three teachers in charge of this depart
ment and the results of it very pleasantly appeared
especially in the class in Algebra. Whether it be
possible in so large School, to secure greater unit
in this department, IS question which can not b.
safely left for solution than to the practical tao
and wisdom of the Principals.

LANGUAGES.

In Latin we have examined classes in Cicero, Vir-
gill; and Vri Roma. That in Cicero passed an cx-
ceedingy creditabe examination as also did that in
Vin Rome. The young ladies in these classes have
evidently had very thorough instruction. and most of
them have laid substantial foundation for the at
tainment of future excellence. The class in Virgil
did not appear to quite good advantage, but yet
showed greater familiarity with the principles of
Latin versifcation than is usually found in schools
for young ladies.
The recilations in French noticeable for correct
ness experimentation and facility in useofthe language
We do not expect to find in such school the same
fuency in speaking the language, which is to be at
tanned in schools in which the French is made the
medium of ordinary conversation; are convinced
however, that the instruction in this department has
been faithful and competent, and the results Ito
as at leastl very satisfactory.
