The Union Graded School of our
village closed last week, and we have
reason to believe that under the superin.
tendence of Prof. Sanborn and his able
corps of assistants has continued its up
ward tendency. With Mr.. Sanborn in the
classical and the able assistants around
him, the school will most certainly be q
success. The report Of the school will
be necessarily delayed until next week.

The WEATuRR.-This has been one of
the most mild seasons ever experienced in
this latitude thus far. If we are to have
this state of things continue we shall have
no emigrating south for warm weather.
The fields are free from snow and many
of the hills are now showing vigorous
carpet of green grass upon them. In all
directions cattle may De seen upon the
meadows and pastures cropping the fresh
grass which is still abundant and nutri-
tious.
Thanksgiving passed of quietly as
far as we knew. The abundant fullness
seemed to have quoting influence upon
humans as we'll as it does upon Anacon-
da's. We don't suppose any body swallow
ed q calf or a rabbit whole, as Anaconda's
are said to do, but oh how the gobblers,
chickens, and other things too numerous
10 mention, had to suffer For one. we
were thankful that we did not eat any
more. We think it is wicked to bust
our bilers" by over eating even Oil Thanks

A Most DARING RoBBERy.--A man de-
lisercd at Mr.. G. M. Walters house a
tub of butter some time in the afternoon
of Tuesday of last week, and left it in the
front hail. until MIR. Waller came home
1t was seen there by several occupants of
the house about 6 o'clock in the evening,
but after that it was missing and up to
this time no trace has been found of it..
Gases of house robbery are becoming
quite too common in our village, and il: I'VE
continue to increase as we have for some
time past in these fine arts, we shall soon
vie with some of our cities in refined ras-
cality. See notice elsewhere.
The new papermill will soon COM
mence its extensive business. The wheels
are all in, the shafting all put in their
places and the new and beautiful machine
ry all set up ready to put on the betting.
The room in which the main machinery
stands in is finished off in good substantial
style, painted neatly, abundantly lighted
and on the whole as neat as ladies par
lor. The main machine. where the paper
gets its last touch is a beautiful, piece
mechanism Every part pf the brass
steel or iron is finished in the most perfect
style, and shows what wonderful genius
is brought out by the handiwork of man.
In order that some idea may be formed
Of the great expense of this undertaking,
we would state that this machine alone
cost 100000 The town may well be
proud of such an institution, and the
people should feel deep interest in the
success OF 80 large an enterprise located
in our midst The enterprizing propre
tors should have the best wishes Of the
people of this village for their success il
their outlay. We hope the proprietor.

We are glad that our business mei
are adopting system of trade that en-
sures permanency and prosperity. a
few years ago,the long credit and "trucl
dicker" system was all the go,but a chang
has come here, as we'll as elsewhere, which
is for the interest of the buyer as well a
the seller. Formerly it was all credit
hence large percentage had to be addet
to the cost of goods but now the quicl

selling goods at lower rates than at an
town in this part Of the state. We judg
this to be the case, from the fact tina

done here at better rates for the public
than in any other town in the state, fc
rents are at least fifty per cent cheapc
here than elsewhere. The great difficult
has been for fome years past, that all tn
stores and shops were occupied by thos
