The Albany Academy commenced last
Wednesday with indications of success far
beyond the most sanguine expectations of
its patrons Albany sends some 10 or more
to the Normal School at johnson, besides
furnishing liberal quota to the schools in
Crafsbury, Coventry, Groton and Mont
pelier. They are also having a select
school on the creek road, taught by a Miss
Leach from Wolcott and Miss Matte Will
cox has yet six weeks to finish up her fall
term in the Wright district, in the east
part Of Albany.
BARTON.
The population of this village is 763-
not 50 large as we gave it a few weeks
since.
Powell, the Barton burglar, has been
bailed out of Irasburgh Jail by man from
New York who brought the money to do
it with.
The readers Of the Standard will please
remark the advertisement on this page of
the Third Annual Races and Balloon AS
cension, to come off at the Fair Ground, on
the 18th of this month. No pains nor ex-
pense has been spared on the part of the
company to get up grand and pleasing
entertainment for those who shall attend
them. The balloon alone costs the com
pauy $500, that sum being paid to Prof
King, the most successful air navigator in
America who has made no less than 500
ascensions in this country. \ balloon as
ccnsion is something that has never been
seen in this county, and it may be many
years before one is seen again. The peO-
pie will do well then to come out on the
18th and see Prot. King who is certainly
to be here BE on hand early The as
ceusion takes place in the afternoon, but
the initiating Of the balloon will occupy
some time, and those who are first on hand
will have the opportunity Of seeing it done.
To many this alone will be worth the price
of admission. Some idea may be had of
it when we say that it takes 1000 pounds
of sulphuric acid and $500 pounds of iron
filings with which to make the gas to in
Aate the balloon.
The programme is out tor jubilee cell
obratiou to be held onthe fair ground
at Barton on Wednesday of this week.
The forenoon exercises which consist of
brief addresses by various gentlemen of our
county, begin at 10 O'clock In the after
noon at o'clock Pres. Angel of Burling-
ton is to deliver an address. Music is to
be furnished by the Derby COrnet Band,
and by the Barton choir The dinner is
to be provided by those who attend. Tables
will be erected for those desiring on appli
cation to Rev. VIM. A. Robinson. Feed
for horses will be furnished on the ground.
The railroad returns free those paying full
fare to the celebration. Altogether ar
engagements have been made in a practical
and sensible way for a good and enjoyable
day, and it is to be hoped that large num-
bers of the descendants of the pilgrims
will improve the opportunity given for an
inexpensive and yet profitable celebration.
Gen. Grout was nominated for represen-
tative last Saturday night, but it is not
certain that he will stand.
