PETRIFIED INDIAN Boy. The Petri-
fed Indian Boy found at Turner's Falls
Mass, last January, is now on exhibition
in this place in Harris store, next to
Arms & Wilson's Coming just after
the Cardiff Giant humbug, people are
very generally incredulous, but if they
will stop in and view it, they will find an
interesting specimen of something and
will then be very much better able to
speculate upon its genuineness 1t will
doubtless prove to be nearer petrifae-
ton than anything most of our people
have ever seen before and very few will be
prepared to dispute the claims of the boy
after seeing him. 1trepresents boy of
about a dozen years. The tongueprotrudes
from the mouth, and there is an unnat-
ural fulness of the abdomen, but in most
respects the form is very perfect Those
who think it a petrifaction suppose it TO
have been an Indian boy and perhaps
drowned. II seems impossible, however
that any accident should have left the
hands on the body in the manner they
are placed.

This school is fast becoming one of
our village attractions 1t is not yet two
years since Miss Jane Hapgood became
Principal, during which time the school
has been rapidly growing both in mum.
bers and excellence of training, till it
stands now in the front rank of New
England boarding schools. This sue
cess is due mainly to superior manage
ment and tact # Miss Hapgood, togeth-
err with her perfect adaptation to her vo-
cation, The past year the house has
been thoroughly finished and furnished
neatly and comfortably, it being the aim
of the principal to furnish not only'a
good school but a pleasant home for the
young ladies committed to her care.
The sleeping apartments are large, airy
and cheerful, having such neat, home
look, that it would seem impossible for
homesickneSs to find room there. The
beds are not the usual atrociously hard
bed of boarding-school, but the best
os light soft hair mattresses. Perfect
neatness and order pervades the whole
establishment, every department complete
in itself from the third story to the kitch-
en- and laundry.
Miss Hapgood has the entire charge of
her pupils both in the school-room and
out of it. In teaching she is assisted
by Miss Strong. Mr.. H. A. L. Peabody
is teacher of both vocal and instrument
al music, who as q teacher is we'll and
favorably known. A resident French
teacher has been secured for the coming
term, which arrangement will prove of
great advantage both to boarding and
day scholars this completes board of
education which can hardly be excelled.
The summer term will commence May
10th, and continue twenty weeks. The
locality of this school here among the
Vermont hills and pure air, renders this
arrangement of summer term to COM
prise the warmest months, a very desira-
BILE one, as it embraces the attractions of
a summer resort, and place of improve
ment to both mind and body. Parents
can hardly find more attractive and
safe home for their daughters during the
summer months than est. Agnes Hail.

The New York Tribune admits that there
is bad coalition of things in the Radical
camp. The mutineers are not in accord
They are wraugling about candidates and other
matters, and ueSlecting, the Tribune thinks,
the only means that can insure success in the
next Presidential election. Speaking to its
brethren in the Empire State, the Tribune
thus reminds them that there are matters Of
more Importance to the party than scheming

Petual reorganization. The defeated side al
ways bolts, the 'outs" always demand rcor-
gaDIzatIoD, and once more the strength that
ought to be united for the impendin. struggle
with the Democracy is fritterng away in
struggles among ourselves. We have not
thought the action of the State Committee in
ordering this last new deal warranted OF Wis:
aud the spectacle the political announ Gel ents
OF the day present is the best commentary on
our Olt expressed Judgment. The mo,ivcs of
this Wrangie are perfectly we'll understood -
all know that the struggle is not to advance
hepub!Icanism, but to wrest the Republican
organization from its present hands in the in.

whoever may gain by the struggle, We are
sure that those who have precipiratcd it will
lose. This is not the way to pre- pare for 1872.

The Petersburg H"Ie-r, referring to the Epis
cOpNI Council, which closed its session in that
city Saturday week, says:
This Council was the largest in point Of
numbers and one Of the strongest in point of
ability that ever assembled ia the Diocese Of
virginia. Parishes were represented which
bad not sent delegates to the Annual Sessions
of the Church Cor many years One Parish
was represented for the first time in thirty five
years; another for the first time since 1875
aud others still. which for long time have
had no voice in the deliberations Of the
Church.
1t may also be truly said that few religious
bodies have ever transacted their business with
more harmony, and with more entire absence
OF all feeling. save zeal for the welfare Of their
church aud the glory of Gud The daily SEES.
sions of the Council were largely attended Ly

We are pleased to state that the members of
the Council express unqualified qualification

during their visit.
