Report of the Auditors and Selectmen OF
the town Of Pomfret.''
PASS HIM ALoNG.-A man about five
feet six or seven inches in height, light
hair and eyes, spare features, front tooth
rather prominent, and giving the name of
J. r. Clough, purporting to reside in Bos-
ton, lately turned up in Ludlow, repre-
senting himself as being employed by the
Grand Lodge of I. o. G.. T., of North
America, to visit and report the condition
of all subordinate lodges. While here,
he made himself very much at home
among the members of the order, till
finally, one morning, he "came up miss
ing," having forgotten to pay for several
days board at the hotel. He is evidently
an imposter of the genuine type; at all
events, he is dead beat" at least in this
instance Pass it round
AUGUSTUS.
CHEsTER-Hon. Horace Maynerd,
who represents the State of Tennessee in
the present national Congress, formerly
presided over the fortunes of Chester
Academy as its Preceptor.
Mr. Peyton w. Wentworth, archi-
tect, of Brooklyn, N. Y, is at work upon
plan of the Episcopal church, which is
to be erected the coming Spring. The
erection of the building will commence
early in the season, and we trust ere
another year is crowned with winter
SHOWS the sunbeams of heaven may gild
the tower of on Episcopal church, which
shall serve as a beacon light to draw the
thoughts of man silently, but instructive
", heavenward.
The spIing term of Chester Academy
commenced Feb. Il, and Notwithstanding
the school begins week earlier than
usual, there are a large number of stu
dents in attendance, and under the in
struction of Prof. Bell, everything bids
fair for successful term. Prof. Bell is
a gentleman of rare culture, and is un-
wearied in his labors in striving to awaken
an enthusiasm in all departments of in
struction, and has called to his aid, as
sistants, who are imbued with the same
earnestness and love of the art Of teaching.
If good name is better than precious
ointment, and is fragrant throughout all
generations, then who that is blessed with
an abundance of this worlds goods, can
better employ them as q steward OF
God, than to endow this institution (which
has proved a bright star in the literary
horizon of our country with permanent
fund which shall make Chester Academy
a monument of taste and liberality, which
shall effectually transmit its memorial Of
benefcence from father to son, and from
mother to daughter, and from age to age,
to the end of time. There are hundreds
of persons whose names are conspicuous
on the rolls of. judicial, political, military
and literary fame, who have sometime
been members of this Academy, which, in
many instances, has proved the stepping
stone, and paved the way to their for
tunes, in life let them now come to the
rescue of their dina Nater, and prevent
one of those great lights of science, which,
for more than half century, has thrown
its radiance over our land, from going
out in utter darkness for the want of
timely aid.
Over two hundred dollars were real
lied for the rental of pews In The l'nivcr-
salist church. This sum will be added to
the fund which is now being raised for
the purpose of repairing the church
A hint in time to the inhabitants OF
Chester and its vicinity, may prove Of in
calculable advantage to them. Will the
times improve or get worse with the in
coming administration We answer

structor, will always be the Rutland
