This school and village Is very pleasantly stu

the east. south. and west for mile or more,
from which point Is very tne view OF the

lemen who desire an education.
Politically, Lebanon Is olassed with SANFORD.
The former has for several years past had from
$50 10 200 Republican majority. The latter 80
Democratic majority. At the last election these
towns chose Democratic Representative, by
10 majority, owing, am told, To difference
among the Union men in relation to the local
town tax, amounting to 900, raised for
war purposes, and borrowed mainly of their
Itownsmen. Some advocate repudiation, while
others are for the payment OF the debt in good
faith. At this election the vote stood % Union
majority in Lebanon, and 10 Democratic ma
jority In Sanford.
