Gently established in that place. We are
| glad to hear of their success in passing the
ordeal of examination and trust they will

We have been requested TO state that
| there will be n meeting OF citizens at the
| BrattlebOro House on Saturday evening
| next, Sept. 18th, to make arrangements for
establishing a Market day, found to be so
advantageous in many villages of this and

vicinity. All interested in the movement
are desired to attend the meeting.

on Main street which arc now completed.
| They have extended the whole of the first
and second stories of The building twenty
feet in tho rear making an addition of2G
| by 20 feet with room below in the rear
for printing press and engine. The room
they occupy as their iewelry store, besides
| the twenty, feet of additional length has
been newly painted and papored, two new
show cases added, and the awning in front
removed. It's now better lighted than be-
fore, and altogether is a convenient and at
tractive place for business, as their numcr-

store.
The attention Of our readers who use to-
bacco and who desire to relieve themselves
Of the habit, is directed to the advertisement
in another column of Orton's Preparation,
patented in June last, which promises TO
cure the tobacco user Of all desire for the
article. Testimonies are given of persons
who have used it and found it Il perfect
remedy. As there are multitudes of men
who wish to be free from the habit, but who
find it difficult, if not impossible, to break
away from it merely by the exercise of the
will, certainly an article which promises to
assist in the desired object is well worth the
trial. We commend to the notice Of such
the advertisement referred to-

There are in the High school in this
village, the present term, fourteen pupils
from without the district, who pay tuition
fee of ten dollars each per term. These
pupils, young men and young women,
coming from other school districts in Brat
tloboro and from neighboring towns, have
| opportunities for instruction which itwould
be difficult TO find in any of the academies
or select schools in this part of New Eng
land. In this way our High school is doing
a good work, not only for the village, but
also for the country round about. 1t il
found moreover that the presence of these
pupils are no detriment, but rather an adj
vantage to the school, IN they are of that
class Of young people who are seeking for
knowledge with an earnest desiro, and
pursuing ii with oommendabo industry,
being of an age to appreciate its value, and
the dyantages they enjoy in obtaining it.
