THE HIGH SCHooL.-The winter term
of the Rutland High School will be
commenced tomorrow under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Dana, as Principal Mr.. D.
j. Newland, the late Principal, having
terminated his connection with the
school at the close of the last term. Mr..
Dana comes to us from Woodstock,
where he has been Principal of the High
School for several years past. He is
recommended as an able and accom-
plished teacher, and gentleman in
every respect calculated to render our
High School one of the best institutions
of learning in the State. The old corps
of associate teachers retain their respect
i've places.

THE FLooD.-It is said that the Mis-.
sisauoi river has never been known to
rise so high as during the recent rain.
The Lamoile also took high sweep,
and the brooks in this region we're jubi.
liant in their lawlessness. ALI the bridges
by which this town Is approached from
the east and south were swept away, we
are informed. We have not heard of any
damage to the railroads, and we believe
there has been but little delay of trains.
DR.. Chandler informs Us that in the
thirty-six hours preceding Friday even
ing last, at sunset, a very small fraction
less than four inches in depth of rain
fell In this place. Such an abundant fall
is truly Messenger.

JOIN H. SuRRATT.-The reported ar
rest of John II. Surratt affords general
satisfaction, and Mr.. Consul Hale de-
serves the thanks of the community for
his prompt and successful action in the
matter. We trust the prisoner will be
duly forwarded to this country. 1t is
time that the diabolical deed with which
he is implicated should be sifted in it's
whole length and breadth, and Surratt
may prove to be the means of accom-.
plishing that result. Let him be brought
to a speedy trial, and have the mysteries
of the assassination conspiracy cleared
up, that the crime may be charged only
to those who are guilty thereof, and let
them be turned over to the hands of JUS
tice that they may be as summarily
dealt with as were those who have
already been convicted of completely in
that dastardly murder. Another dis.
patch just received from Washington in
forms us that orders have been sent by
the cable to Admiral Goldsborough to
send one of the feet under his command
in the Mediterranean direct to Alexan-
dria TO bring John II. Surratt to Wash
ington, thus avoiding all possibility of
his escape or Of his release on habeas
corpus.

Congregational Church, at Brattleboro.

ing streets. A new and powerful fire
engine has also been purchased, and iron
pipes have been laid to furnish water for

REuARKs.-Therc were ri Northern cattle f.
Cambridge, or about 70 more than last week
large part of which were as usual young CATH
and dry cows. Trade was not quick, thougAno,
quite as low as at some late markets. The low
prices of pork is not over twO-thirds as much as
one year ago, S0sKc. to compare with l26lf,
% h live weight, with mutton much cheaper,
operates against the sale of cattle, which are
just about at last years prices. We think th@"
was but little difference between the prices of
cattle this week and last, Some ofthe butchers
say beef is little higher Others say they are as
well this week as last, and others still that they
have bought on better terms at Brighton. The
number from Albany appeared to be 1852, and
from Maine go, amounting with few on foot 10
PHI. The Western were reported to have cost
a little higher, and they are selidg shade
higher on some lots, though we were told by one
of the Brighton wholesalers who had just bar
gain1d for yard full, that he thought he was
paying Just about last weeks rates. The yards
had quiet look and from all appearances II IS
as yet rather hard work to sell cattle at satlsiac
tory prices and the rain which set in last nigh.
will not help the drovers in clearing out this
afternoon.
The sheep trade has been lower in the dust Of
late, and when compared with the market four
or five weeks ago 1t looks encouraging, sill
there is so much mutton sent TO market dressed
that the butchers are unwilling TO advance
prices for the live tiocks. There were some
good heavy lots at market, and nearly all were
sold by the head one fine drove averaging q
pounds was sold at SIC. U b from 5000
3 Is was a common price, though some were
sold for So 90, and few for IS 90.

A REaARKABLR CALouLATIoN.-In the
year 1916 Elkanah Watson, the friend
of Benjamin Franklin, made public the
results of calculation as to the popu-

ness with which his predictions tally
with the census reports up to the
year 1860 is somewhat wonderful,
Whether the rate of increase as estima-
ted by him has been disturbed by the
war remains to be seen. His estimates
as compared with the actual results are
