Town versus District.

Editor Rutland Herald Having of
late seen much in the papers for and
against the town system of conducting
the public schools wish to say word in
favor of the town system.
First, and the greatest reason in favor
of the town system, is that it will lay the
burden of taxation more evenly on the
property of the town than now. At the
present time there are districts that pay
double the tax on the dollar that others
do, and for no better school than their
neighbors have. The town system would
remedy this. And then, as another thing
to recommend the town system, all the
schools would be free for the children of
the town to attend, and child of poor
spring term of school in the village, if he
lives near enough to board at home and
go,-which under the present system can
not be done unless their parents are will
ing to pay five or eight dollars for the
privilege of their cbild's attending school,
which they, if poor, can i'll afford to do,
and therefore the child is allowed to stay
at home and spend his time in play and
learning no good, all for the lack of what ?
the right of sending their children to
school without paying that five or eight
dollars,-and all this the town system
would remedy. And as another reason
to urge the town system, we should pay
our teachers more even price for teach.
ers of the same qualification, and then
there would be much better chance of
getting teacher that is qualified to teach
an advanced school than there now is.
Let all of the freemen Of this State con.
slider this question we'll before they cast
their ballots on this subject. Let not
some one who has land in district that
is wealthy and supports but little school,
you on this subject, but consider
the thing well, and then go to the polls
with determination to do what is right, |
and let no man stay away, but all go and
DO their duty.

From the Saratogian.
Go IT.


A beautiful engine was placed on the track,
Whose play was as free as the ar;
But poor engineer was put on her back
Who thought more of speed than of care.
The engine was rated at twenty-horse power,
But the driver thought only of speed.
So onward he flew, twenty miles in an hour,
Without any curb on his steed.
sHurah for the wild dashing engine" he cried,
"Let her fly through the tunnels and towns"
Over chasms and tressels, a fury he hied,
Till crash All, the horrible groans.
The passengers ground in the pulverized mass,
Turn their eyes on the wreck of man,
Who thoughtlessy proved himself such an ass,
As not to take care how he ran.
So thought to myself as l saw young blood,
Nicely balanced in muscle and brain, ,
Put his mouth to the bottle to see if he could
Add little more speed to his train.
Alas there are hearts heavy freighted with fear
To be hurried by hun, without care,
Down the steep grades of life all trembinsly near
A chasm all dark with despair. Z.

ATTEMPTED HORSE THEFT.-Sunday
night, the 18th ult., some unknown per-
son entered the stable of Hamilton Bar
rows of West Hartford, bridled the horse
and was getting ready to leave, when he
was surprised in the following manner :
Mr.. Barrows being away from home, Mrs.
Barrows invited a young man by the
name of Harry Bertram to sleep at the
house. Owing to a Misunderstanding,
Bertram was locked out of the house at
which he was stopping, and also found
the doors fastened at Mr.. Barrow's. He
accordingly went into the barn and made
himself a bed in the hay NOW. About 10
o'clock, hearing noise below, he came
forward and discovering that something
was wrong, pitched in for share. The
stranger being the stronger was more
than match for Bertram, and drawing a
knife inflicted several severe cuts on Ber-
trans wrist and hand, and aimed two or
three blows at bis heart, but package of
letters in the breast pocket of his coat
prevented the knife from penetrating to
the skin. The stranger then left the barn
followed by Bertram, but wheeling sud.
denly gave the latter blow behind the
ear, knocking him senseless, and made his
escape.-Mont1elier Journal.

THE RUTLAND HERALD.
FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1871,
The Annual March Meeting.

There seems to be more interest felt
throughout the State in reference to the
annual March meetings than is uauaL
growing out of various causes. The fact
that no other election ia to be held, but
that for town officers, has come Indirect
influence in awakening the people. An
other cauee ia that most of the town cor
porstions are greatly in debt and the tax
payers are anxious TO be relieved from thf
burdens of taxation, and much attention
Is being given to the devising Of ways
aud means to accomplish so desirable a
result. The Town System Of Schools is
also being agitated in several of the larg-
ar towns, which will have the effect to
bring out the people. These together
with the fact that in most of tho counties
the election of County Commissioner is
to he hotly contested, all combine to
make the epring election Of more than or
iinary interest throughout the Common.
wealth
Taxpayers, in considering the question
Of relief from taxation, should make close
examination and ascertain if their local
aGdrs are managed in an economical
manner. II they desire to reduce their
debts the surest way will be to elect the
very best business men in the community.
Much of the want of economy is owing
to the selection of men who may be very
good men in ordinary affairs, but have few
qualifications for the management of town
affairs The people have a right to de-
mand the services of the men of
the best business qualifications, and
it ia their duty as good citizens to yield to
the demand. Especially is this true in
reference to the Offices of Selectmen. So
surely as this course is not pursued in the
lection of these officers, all our towns
will continue year by year to be involved
Ioeper in debt, instead of being relieved
If their burdens. We feel compelled to
oall the attention of the people to this sub,
iect from the numerous instances of towns
becoming deeper aud deeper involved in
debt zach year because their officers are
not selected for their qualification
but rather by general favoritisn
and the principle of rotation, which is
constantly putting in Office inexperienced
men, who desire to do their duty but from
want of tact and business qualifications
tail to comprehend that the first duty of
a town in debt is TO practice rigid econo'
nv until the incumbrance upon their
town is swept away. Therefore let all
towns who have three good seleotmon
who are getting them out of debt, re-
elect them, il they are not relieving the
community of local taxation, put into the
Office three of the best business men you
have in town, without rivalry or jealousy,
drop every local consideration, but the
permanent interest of the community.
Let their motto be the best men for the
office, without reference to anything. But
above al got out of debt.

and who were discharged honorably. be-
fore serving two years, by reason of dis.
ability contracted in the service, are en-
titled to receive one hundred dollars
bounty. This will be good news to about
four thousand veterans or their heirs, who
have been thus far deprived of the bounty
to which they were entitled, by red-tape
decision that only forty out of the eighty
two regiments mustered into the service
at that time were authorized by law.
