SAM HoUsToN UNION TO THE LAsT.-A
letter il Philadelphia paper from promi-
nent Union man, recently from Texas, now
resident in Mexico, thus settles disputed
question;
''Sam Houston is dead. The Union men
Of Texas lament his loss. He died of a bro

trail from the day he was deposed. A short
time before the good old man b.eathed his last.
they went to his house to catechise him about
his political views. His family begged them
to desist. as death would soon relieve them

his opinions, but he died, as he lived, loving
the Union. ane not convinced as they would

Surplus on hand after taxes are collected
estimated at S4lS OS, most of which will be
required to pay for wood for the ensuing
year.
There is a balance Of SLIP due towards
the building and land, but larger balance
due for land sold, so that no further tax will
be required for that purpose, which will be a
relief of 40 cents on the dollar to the tax
pey yers OF the district, that being the amount
of annual tax voted to pay for buildings and
land since 1858, with the exception of the
past year, when it was increased to AZ cents
to pay off the balance due. The expenses
hereafter will be only for the support of the
school and the necessary repairs of the bull
ding and furniture. unless it might oe thought
grounds fronting the School House and adorn
the same with shade trees. converting that
side into a play ground. Such an ar
rangemeLt would add very much to the beau
ty and convenience of the grounds and would
have been so completed when the house was
erected had it not been for the increased ex-
pence to be added to the debt OF the district.
Most Of the travel to the Hospital nov
passes through the school grounds. which is
annoying to the school, and unless the travel
decreases it must be diverted from this pas
sage. The retirement of the school house
from public travel was one consideration that
determined its present location.
The expenses of supporting the schools for
the ensuing year will be about the same as
the past. 1t is TO be hoped that when the
prices of produce, labor and goods shall again
come down to a specie standard, the expen-
ses OF the schools may be reduced but until
that time, the expenses must remain about
the same as the past year. The high prices Of
board as compared with some other localities
is the main reason why the grammar depar tment
is not full, the school itself being second to
none in the State. Those who can take board
ers at reasonable rate are requested to give
notice to some one of the committee.
The schools are what the district requires
and are now in a prosperous condition. The
parents are interested in the matter and were
present in large nambers at the examination.
The advancement of the schools by the expe-
rience of the past six years in the graded
system may be reasonably expected and it is
hoped that Montpelier will continue to occupy
the praisewor,hy position she now enjoys Of
having the best schools in the state.
The undersigned has alluded to some mat
ters that would not have appeared at the pres
ent time only for the reason that it is his in
tention to retire from the Board before an
other report may be expected.
