EGYPTIAN, Whatever this may
have been, il couls hardly have exceeded the
darkness wfSch refgned in our streets Tuesday
night. To use homely figure it was "darker
than stack Of black cats" We learn of run
way horse having been heard on The street, but
no one knew his source or destination, whether
he had driver or no. Perhaps, Mazeppa like
horse and rider are coursing on still to unex.
plored wilds.
The trees too, especially up Main ST., from
the Town Hall, were as obstinate as ever and
wouldn't turn out step for pedestrians. Some
of our graves, and soberest citizens carry what
is very properly in this case called "barked
nose,' since the night mentioned. And speak
ing of trees, there is one sturdy old oak, of
large circumference, that has stood about half
a century too long exactly in the sidewalk near
Mr.. Felton's residence. 1t has outlived its
usefulness, is not ornamental, and no one would
regret to tread the turf, or rather gravel, above
its sepulchred remains.

ever, being carried on now by Messrs. Pierce
& Ladd, former residents of this village, now
occupying one of the rooms on Main street, in
Goodhue's building nearly opposite the Ameri-

have tools adapted 10 the business. In addi-

another part of the shoe-the stifFenng. The
material used is principally scraps of leather,
obtained from tanners and manufacturers of
other leather goods and the heels and siffen-

COMMISSIONER OF AGR1cULTuRE.-W have
stated in our paper that there is great dssatis.
faction with the management of the Depart
of Agriculture at Washington on account of
the incompetency of the present Commissioner
in charge Of it. AT the Annual meeting OF the
New England Agricultural Society held at
Boston, March Sth. the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolred, That the New England Agrcultu-
raj Society concur in the opinions expressed BY
many other similar associations, and by the ag
ricutural press throughout the country, that
there should be an immediate change in the
management of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington, by which the value and eff
cheney Of that organization would be promoted,
and the Department be made of some service
in the Development af the agricultural resour-
ces of the country.
ResOlred, That the President of the United
States be respectfully and earnestly requested
TO remove the present incompetent Commits
sioner of Agriculture, and to appoint some suit
able man to the Head of the Department of
Agriculture, who, from his scientific and pract-
ica qualifications may reflect credit upon the
intelligence of the country and command the
respect and confidence Of the people.
HeS0tced, That the Secretary OF this Society
be instructed to forward copy of these Reso-
lutions to the President Of the United States,
and to the Secretary Of the Interior.
. This society represents the agricultural wealth
of the six New England States, and the voice
of this society on the subject embraced in the
above Resolutions, is undoubtedly the unani.
nous voice of the agricultural population of
this section of the United States We hope
that immediate action viii be taken in this mat
ter and that competent person will be Sc
lected to fill the place. 1t is an office of great

BosToN ENDORSING SENATOR SUMNER
The following resolutions have been unani-
uously adopted by the Board of Aldermen of
Boston
Resolved, That we deem it fitting to express
our profound sense of the eminent loyalty, pat
riotsm and craftsmanship OF our distinguished
Senator, Charles Sumner to acknowledge the
measureless debt of gratitude which the Com
monwealth and the Nation owe him for his wise
counsels and constant and efficient services in
this great struggle to establish justice and Sc
cure the prosperity of the Union; and our in
dgnant conviction of the utter ialsehood of any
accusation, no matter by whom made, which
lkens him, either in theory or in practice, to
the traitor chiefs of the rebellion, or which
charges him with any lack of devotion or loy-
atty to that great cause of freedom and nation
atty which he has watched with such untiring
vigilance and served with such mastery ability.
RESOLVED, That copy of this resolution be
forwarded by His Honor the Mayor to Mr..

ExmBufoN.-- pupils Of the High School under
the charge of B.F. Bingham and Stella Elmer, gave
nm exhibition ut the Town Hail. in this village on
Tuesday md Wednesday evenings Of this week. On
both evenings the Hall was well filled with people of
all ages, mostly om the village, parents, patrons and
friends Of the school. 1t is seldom that so many peo-
pie are seen in that Hall as present to witness
the exercises Of the children The Brut;leboro Qua
drle Band in attendance and enlivened the occa-
sion with their excellent music. The exercises con.
sisted Of singing declamation and Rotations with
comedy each evening The performances were all
highly satisfactory, and were listened to with great
pleasure and attention through both evenings. And
considering the youth of many of the speakers, and
the short time they had for preparation, we must say
their exhibition was a complete success. Several Of
the performances would have done credit to older and
more experienced actors. 1t might be invidious to
parcularize when all did WELL but there were some
to whom should like in private to speaks words of
special praise. After the exercises on the second
evening, Mr.. Dwinell, Chairman Of the School Com
mittee made cet report Of the school, giving some
statistics of the attendance of the pupils their behav-
ior, progress, &C., which shall publish at another
time. To this Mr.. Bingham replied, thanking the
people Of the village for the interest they had shown
in the Of his school, complimentng the Com
mittee for their aid and cooperation and the parents
for secendng the efforts of the teachers in the dis
charge of their duty, closing with few kind words
addressed to the pupils
We think that we have had no performance in the
Hall for a long time, if ever, that has given much
satisfaction to our people this exhibtoni and sure
ly we have great reason to rejoice that have such
efficient and capable teachers and that schools
are in condition highly prosperous and satisfac

merous friends and patrons of the school, it was held
