quadrille band until well along in the
"wee sma' hours"
In conclusion we have only to again
add that the ball was a grand success,
and well conducted and select affair,
the invited guests present being num-
bered among our best and most infuen-
tial citizens; and Notwithstanding the
croakings of juvenile and Anticipated fos-
sils, is indicative Of what few deter
mined young men can accomplish.
We cannot close without compliment
ing Mr.. G.. d. Millington, the prime
mover in the affair, on his success, and
also Messrs. w. A. Clark, III. P. Cochran
and iC. s. Mason, who were untiring in
their efforts to make it successful, and at
the same time thank them for courtesies
extended us on this occasion.
RETIREMENT OF A VETERAN. - The
Bellows Falls Times says: Conductor
N. E. Starkey, of the Rutland and Bur-
lington Railroad, contemplates retiring
from his position sometime during the
coming season. He has recently bought
a farm in Putney near the railroad sta
tion-and very nice one it is, TOTO
which he expects to remove his family
about the first of April. He long since
became veteran in the railroad service,
having commenced when the road was
only opened from here to Chester, and
been in the continuous service of the Rut-
land and Burlington Railroad some TWEEN
ty years, or ever since it was opened.

in this State, very few, comparatively, are
really fitted for their places. The educa-
ton received at home or at school for
few years past has not tended to make
good teachers. The teacher of children
should be practically educated. A por-
ton of this education can best be acquired
by an acquaintance with home duties and
cares; the balance by thorough knowl-
edge of elementary studies. Most young
persons who have received their education
in the few past years, are sadly deficient
in all of these requisites. But the first,
constant and most imperative requisite of
any plan of school instruction is supply
of competent teachers. Experience has
demonstrated what common sense sug-
gests, that they who concentrate and
apply all the resources of cause, should
thoroughly understand their work. No
provisions, however ample, can be success
fully substituted for capacity in this re-
spect, nor compensate for the want of it.
Correct teaching does not consist solely
IN experimenting the acquisition of facts.
Itemploys methods and processes, founded
IN nature and reason, an observance of
which is calculated to awaken interest,
incite thought and develop strength in
the scholar, and 6knowledge of which is
just as essential to the successful teacher
Is an acquaintance with books. Our
higher institutions of LEARNING have doua
but little of late towards fitting our
teachers for the successful instruction of
children. To remedy this defect in our
system of education, the normal schools
OF this State were organized. They all
need, however, to be incorporated in one.
and to receive greater aid from the State.
thus securing Board of instruction
equal to our wants, and the purpose Of

Bilious fevsrs are most prevalent in the

then arise from the earth, and the great dis
parity between the temperature OF day and

at this season Of the year, to become inert
and sluggish, and all tue bodily powers re-
Quire renovation. The best, indeed the only

this class, and indeed foremost among the
