SToLEN.-A horse was stolen from
the barn of Chas. Y. Ryther, in Gov
entry, last Friday. Constable Bow
ley of this village started in pursuit
of the thief early Saturday morning,
and very fortunately tracked the horse
by the peculiar shape of one shoe,
toward Canada. After getting into
the Province, however, he lost the
trail, but other circumstances favored,
and on Sunday he found the horse
near McMannis' in Bolton. A few
miles from there he found the thief,
one Frank Lewey, who, after consid-
cradle coaxing and some threatening,
consented to accompany the officer
home. Yesterday, Lewey was brought
before Justice Robinson of this vii
lage, plead guilty, was bound up in
the sum of 5000, and as he couldn t
pay was committed to Jail. He will

MANURE FOR PoTAToEs.-I will give
you receipt for raising potatoes that
is worth the price of your paper one
year to any farmer that is short of
manure. 1t is as good as the best
superphosphate of lime, and will not
cost half so much. | have tried it
two years,and am satisfied it is good
on dry land. Take one cask of lime
and slack it with water, and then stir
in one bushel Of fine salt and then mix
in loan, enough so that it will not be-
come mortar; it will make about five
barrels. Put in half pint in hill
at planting.-PLoughman.

History Of Glover.
TWELFTH PAPER.

The history of Glover would by no
means be complete without some ret
erence to the lawyers and physicians
who have resided in this town, and
who have served the people in their
respective professions.
1t is perhaps to the credit of Glov-
err, that it's citizens have never been
disposed to a very great extent, to en-
gage in lawsuits, one against another,
hence, although they have regarded
lawyers with respect, according to
their merits, as class, yet they have
never given them any great encour-
agement to tarry with them.
The record of the names of the
principal ones is as follows: VIM. II.
Martin, who represented the town in
the Legislature for one year,viz., 1S41.
Josiah A. Fletcher. Isaac n. Cush-
man, we'll known at Irasburgh, and
throughout the county. Albert M.
Holbrook, who died in Glover. in the
year 1858. and Geo. W. Todd, also
principal of the academy. Marcellus
Beach promising young man, from
Glover, died in 1855, at Charleston,
IS c. where he had inst hnnn admit
ted to the bar.
Jefferson Clark, a graduate of Am
herst College. class of 1867, and the
first college graduate from this town,
is now in New York city, studying
law.

the last of which was very interesting

Meeting of Town superintendent

On Wednesday the 22d ult., quite
a delegation of the School Superin-
tendents, of the county, met at Coven-
try, to consider important matter s, in
connection with their duties to the
Schools.
The meeting was organized by the
election Of DR.. ID. w. Blanchard, of
Coventry, chairman, and Rev. VIM. A.
Robinson, of Barton, Secretary
After organization, the forenoon was
occupied in discussing the many prac-
tical questions that pertain to the
proper discharge of the duties of the
Town Superintendent. Before adj
JOINING for dinner, Revs. VIM. A.
Robinson, j. G. Lorimer and Geo. III.
Bailey, were chosen committee to
report resolutions at the afternoon
session. In the afternoon the resolu-
tions reported by the committee were
taken up, condensed, amended and f.
nally adopted in the form given below.
The two or three subjects to which
the preamble and resolutions subjoin-
ed relate, were only few Of the top
les that received attention. Especial
ly was the standard OF qualifications
for teachers, the subject of earnest
discussion, and while it was felt to be
impossible to define any particular
rule for all cases, it was regarded by
all present, very important thing
to insist upon higher average attain
ment in books, and greater maturity
of judgment, than has been heretofore
demanded If committees and citi-
zens Of our school districts will heed
the request made in the subjoined res.
lutions, and regard an unwillingness
on the part of the teacher to pass the
ordeal Of a public examination as
prima Jacie evidence of incapacity
great progress will be made in the
right direction.
Those who shall be frightened away
from such examination, will be nc
loss to the ranks of our teachers, if
they are kept out of the teachers desk
till they are better prepared and more
self'reliant.
Committee man, ARENAS Ward, on
one occasion, declared his willingness
to sacrifice all his wife's brothers and
cousins in defence of the country
will you not if need be, sacrifice your
cousins, &c, for the sake of the schools
In other words, if your cousin, or the
first applicant for your school can
pass q decent examination in YOU
hearing, won't you hire some one tina
can?
The following is the preamble ant
resolutions referred to above:
Whereas 1t has become the com
mon practice for teachers to ignor
the provisions of the law in regard t
public examinations, thereby defeat
ing in great measure, the purposes o
the law, and making the Office of 81
perintendent a burden TO bushes
men. Therefore, Resolved, That W
the Superintendent, Of Orleans Coul
ty, will not consider ourselves unde
any obligation to examine candidate
for certificates at any other time tina
the public examination, except in thos
cases the law contemplates, and "
urge the committees of the sewers
districts in our towns, to insist tn;
the teachers they hire, be present ;
the public examination; and furthe
so far as possible to make their CO
tracts with teachers contingent upc
the excellence of their examinatio
and themselves be present to jude
the qualifications of the candidates.
