The following communication was
received yesterday, but at too late an
hour for publication in yesterdays issue
of the TRANSCRIPT.
MESSRS. EDITORS:
We had the pleasure of being present
at the close of our public school on Fri
day and listening to the exercises in
the Hall, and knowing as we do, that
the teachers had only three or four days
to make thire final preparation, we con-
sidered it decided success. TO witness
the precision, promptness and success
full speaking and acting, singing and
playing upon the stage, is really COM
plimentary to the ability of our teach
ers and scholars. Two prizes were
awarded for improvement in writing.
At the commencement of the term
Mr.. S. M. Platt, teacher of penmanship,
and DR.. Clark, offered each prize to
the room that should make the most i'm
provemcnt, and keep their boo $ in the
best order.
Now Messrs. Editor it would save you
much time could your communications
all be as we'll written and as legible a
we there saw. Just think of one hun
dred and twenty books, and only ONT
that contained an ink blot, or an era
sure, and all exhibited such marked i'm
provement as to keep the Judges. (Dea
Wyman and Mrs. e. r. Clark J long il
doubt who should have the prizes, bu
they finally decided to give prize No. !
a beautiful Chrome, to Miss White
room, and prize No. 2, IA beautiful PEI
drawing in colors, designed and eXecu
ted by Prof. Pratt TO Prof. Marsh S room
From what we saw we think highl
of the Spencefian system, and of MI
Pratt's ability to teach it.
We hope our teachers will take coul
age from this effort, and in future fave
us with similar entertainments. San
then may we be there to see."

ycrIp0nf ana tie Campaign.

The gallant state of Vermont is the
pioneer of the Republican party in the
political contest this fall, and has Il work
to do which will materially effect the
issue of the canvass. The first to lead
Off in the grand march in which state
after state will wheel into column, her
duty is to guard as well as lead the front,
and remove as far as possible all hind
RANGES to the progress Of the grand army
which follows her,--to make the way
clear, passable and easy. TO do this
work well, and none can do it better
than she can, there must be no hesita-
ton in her face, no uncertainty in her
tread, no delay in her action With the
lcenness and strength born of the
mountains, and with the clear vision
which takes in broad prospects from
afar, she must contemplate and perform
the duty which leads the sure way to
victory.
We are glad to say that Vermont is
awake TO the Importance of the position
she holds this year, and that she means
to perform her part molly. Our state
election is the first to be held in the
fall, and we have SO long had a majority
that the importance of its increase or
diminuton is not sufficiently apprecia-
ted. We are regarded by other states ms
a kind of political barometer, and as
the feeling is here, indicated by our
state election, states alike in politics
are depressed or encouraged. Thus Yer
mont has an exceptional Importance III
politics, not to be lightly estimated.
What state is there that does not read
with intercstthc record and resolutions
of her State Conventions? The first
question of the campaign may well be,
"What is the news from Vermont y"
Recognizing the importance of Vigor-
Gus campaign in this state, and its sure
result in a largely increased Republican
majority, thorough canvass has been
resolved upon, and the first war note
was sounded in our State Convention at
Burlington. We are confident that just
such speeches as the clear, business-lillc,
and earnest one of Hon. Trenor w.
Park, and the earnest and solid one OF
Gen. Thomas, made in that Convention
if made all over the state would have q
result i'll our state that would carry con-
fdencc and Joy to the whole union par
| ty. There needs to be some awakening
influences at work, and there is gooo
prospect that there will be. A meeting
of the State Committee has been called
to be held at the American Hotel, il
Burlington, on Thursday, the 9Th in
slant At that meeting the pioneer
work for this state will be decided upon
and laid out. We trust that every coun
ty, town, and school district, will fee
the beneficial influence of the meeting
and that from its action efforts will g
out TO thoroughly organize and move
the party all over the state, so that up
on the lst day of September, when tn
key note of the presidential campaign
is struck, there may 60 out voice from
Vermont, clear as the cry of eagles

THE ZANE STREET BRIDoE.-ThiI
bridge will, we understand, be com
pleted the first OF this week. 1t is {
very handsome and strongly bull
structure, and reflects great credit or
the contractors, MessB. McNailey
CIafisn d Co., OF Cleveland, Ohio, and
also Afr. J. H. LaPierre, the gentleman
employed by that firm to suparintend
its construction. It is Posts patent,
and built entirely ofsolid iron, with the
exception OF the flooring, which is OF
heavy oak plank, one inch and half
thick. 1t Is three hundred and three
feet long, sixteen feet wide and fourteen
feet high, and will cost about $40 600.
It's weight II nearly fifty tons. Though
only built TO sustain twenty-five tons,
we are Informed that it is capable OF
sustaining nearly double that weight.
This is the first highway bridge of this
patent that the company have put up,
and they have used extra exeftfouB 10
make It complete success.
There Is one thing oflmportance, hoWs
ever, which we would make mention,
though we presume 1t will be remedied
in a short kline, and that Is the exposed
condition In which It Is left. At pres
ent there is nothing to prevent sheep
or even cattle from running of or being
crowded over the side. Persons under
the exhilarating influence OF the GLOW
ing bowl" might also be subjected to
an nexTected and unpremedItated
aerial flight To the stony bed of the
creek, were not some precautions taken
to prevent u. Either good substan-
tiRl railing should be provided Mt once,
or the open work be interlaced with
wire to q suitable height to prevent
such accidents.
The present bridge is decided inn
prOvement on the old one, aud will be
business at the numerous stone quar-
ries, ana also aftOrding a much shorter
route 10 the cemeteries-though we
hope that its convenience may never
be experienced in this particular.
But speaking of this reminds us that
there Is another concern extending its
shaking form, like a delapidated cob
web, over the placid waters Of Wheel
ing Creek, at the foot of Market street.
II was formerly denOminated suspen-
sion bridge, but IL would require a
lively stretch of the Imagination to
give II that name now, with any degree
of propriety. We have often heard OF
the extreme danger to which sailors
are subjected in going HlOfL during
a gale, but their peril dwindles almost
TO tnsigniticance, when compared with
the danger attending the navigation OF
Market Street Suspension Bridge, on
a windy day, or when covered
with people. 1t is worse than
going round Cape HatterRs in
nn oyster sloop. The matter has
been talked of in our city councils long
enough, and 1t is time thnt something
was done. Either put up "A bridge like
the Zane street, or at least remove the
present one. The now city councils
who will be elected to-day would re-
ceiVe the heartfelt gratitude of the citi-
zens of this city II they would take
measures to have a new bridge con-
structed. Another Sl3, 600 could not be
disposed OF 70 better advantage.
