eve., January 25th, the following officers
were elected:
President-H. H. Henry Clerks.
III. Leonard; Treasurer-B. A. Cook
Executive Committee Rounds,

The affairs of the institution are now
in prosperous condition, and the trus-
tees have been fortunate in securing the
services of the present Principal, Mr..
Chas. n. Bell, for the ensuing Spring
Term, and hope to secure his permanent
connection with this Academy. Mr..
Bell has proved himself thorough, eff
ficient, and successful teacher, and the
friends of the institution will be graft
fed to learn that he remains with us
longer.
The Masonic Ball at the Ingraham
House on the eve. of January both, was
the most successful and pleasing affair
Of the kind which has ever occurred in
this place. One hundred couples attend
ed the Ball-some of them coming long
distances to be present. Boston, New
York, and even Washington had their
representatives present. Everything pass
ed off pleasantly and quietly, and when
the supper time came Henry" having
heretofore outdone every one else, con-
cluded to Guido himself, which he did do,
furnishing supper more magnificent,
luxurious and costly than, we venture to
say, has ever before been seen in this
part of the country. Among the table
ornaments was magnificent sugared
cake in the form of temple, and deco
rated with masonic emblems. Take it
all in all it was an occasion to be long
and happily remembered.
On Friday eve, January ODD, some
20 couples of the I. o. of G. I. had an
oyster supper at Ingraham's, and enjoy
ed season of pleasant intercourse.
The Rutland q Burlington railroad

CORPORATION MEETING.--A special
Cooperation Meeting has been called at
0. ID. Gray's Hall, ON Thursday evening
OF next week at seven o'clock, to see if
the village will vote TO build an engin,
house and reservoirs. 1t has been voted
several times before TO do these things
but they have not been done. The pres
ent effort, however, is an earnest one, a
fresh start, and of course has reference
to the Fire Department; and it may be
well to suggest to property holders, that
there is reason to believe that unless an
effective fire department be speedily or
ganized in this village the rates of in
surance will be so high they cannot be
afforded. Let there be full meeting.
FIRE CoMPANY.-Abenaqui Fire En-
CINE Co., are making very worthy and
earnest effort to re-organize, as an effect
i've force in case of fires. They held u
meeting at 0. d. Gray's Hall on Satur-
day evening last and organized by the
election of the following Officers:
Foreman-N. Gilmore.
LIST Assistant Foreman-W. j. Conant.
I'd Assistant Foreman-H. A. Cooper.
Clerk-E E. Dewey.
Treasurer. d. Bridgman.
Steward-M. b. Wells.
Assistant Steward-Geo. Andrews.
Bellman-John Arms.
These are all good men and so are the
members of the Company, and if they
receive the encouragement due from the
corporation, such reasonable encourage
ment as is always given to similar Com
panies elsewhere-and they are not 60
ing to ask anything unreasonable 4 our
village will soon have an effective fire or
ganization, at least one which shall aver
age with similar organizations elsewhere,
and be credit to our place.
