Our readers must be interested in
the racy correspondence which we lay be-
fore them in this issue. Among these
communications are two letters from the
Pacific coast to which we call especial
attention
Rev. f. p. Hooker occupied the
Congregational pulpit on Sunday fore
noon and gave an able and interesting
discourse based on the narrative of
Isaac's re-opening the old wells which
had been dug by his father and filled up
by his enemies He showed the true
Christian conservatism.
Peter Counter while making mortar
for the new papermill building, last Fri
day, was precipitated into the Middlebury
Manufacturing Cos humc by the break
ing of decayed timber upon which he
was standing. He swan out and congrat-
ulated himself on the nice bath he had
had at the expense of his employers
ALMosr,A FIGmr.-In the heat Of the
election canvass last Tuesday afternoon a
gentleman of standing in town, became
excited and aimed handful of bones at
another mans head. The blow was ward
ed off and the chief actor in this little
drama was seized by those standing
around and held until his temper became
more equable. So the story goes
Some much needed repairs and i'm
provements are making at the College,
such ut putting new locks on all the
doors, new seating &c. A janitor has
been engaged whose duty it is to spend
his time about the buildings and to
y
condition, ring the bell attend to the
warming and lighting of the public
rooms, &c.
( lNSTALLATION-The ceremonies of
the installation of Rev. +. =. Hooker

in Middlebury will occur at the church.
lon Wednesday of this week the l4th
inst. The council meets Mt 10 O'clock
PIN the forenoon-the public services at
= o'clock in the afternoon. is under
stood that Rev DR.. Kitchel is to preach
the sermon.
We learn with pleasure that the
village schools are coming into most ex-
cellent discipline aud habits Of study and
recitation under the thorough system Of
our Principal, Prof. A. j. Sanborn
The schools numbered about 800 last
week and are likely to increase somewhat
still Quite number of students are in
attendance, from other towns and there i,
large class in classical studies
We have had the pleasure Of seeing
and tasting luscious grapes, in nine varie
ties, from the vines Of Rev. DR.. Kitchel
which were set from cuttings, last year
The clusters were large and perfect ant
beautiful. The grapes Of each variety
were quite ripe-an unusual thing for SC
young vines. 1t is likely that the favor
ablaness ofthe season and, certainly .prope
care, has had much to do with the pre-
cocity of these vines. And yet one thinI
is proved. When nice grapes like thes
may be raised the second year from tn,
cuttings, none need to be without thi
luxury.
