MIDDLEBURY SCHooL.-The winter

MIDDLEBURY SCHooL.-The winter
term of the Graded Schools of Middle
bury closed with an examination last
week The exercises were highly salts
factory to the visitors and patrons of the
school. Prof. Sanborn may feel gratifed
at his success in his new field of labor,
and we assure him he is cordially well
coined to Western Vermont by his fellow
teachers and friends of education, who
appreciate an earaest worker and faith
full teacher.
At the close of the exercises on Friday
remarks were made by Prof. J. S. Cilley
of Brandon Graded School, Rev. DR..
Kitchel, President of Middlebury Col
lege, and Hon. James M. Slade of Middle
bury. The remarks of Governor Slade
made forcible impression.
He said there was no object except the
salvation of his own soul that lay SO near
his heart as the education of the youth of
the land They are the future gems of
society. There were before him in this
group doubtless some of the future legis-
lators of this and other States, and per-
hsps some of its governors. One present
Governor formally attended school in q
house across the river. The education of
all was the vital question of the day. He
had just finished settling the expenses of
the school building in which they were
assembled, and in round numbers it was
ffty-t2aree thousand dollars. He thought
it was a good investment, and that in
the stately forms of man and womanhood,
and the towering interests which would
be tie outgrowth of the culture received
within its falls, there would be an ample
return for all the labor and expenditures.
His heart was gladdened at what he be-
held He should soon be gone, but he
wished to encourage as much as possible
the cause Of popular education while he
lived
Mr. Slade has ever been among the
foremost leaders in all the great interests
of the day. The cause of religion, educa-
ton, temperance and morality for many
years have found in him an earnest friend
and supporter.

PERsoNAL.-The Troy Times of Satar-
day says: Col. George A. Merrill, late
Superintendent of the Rutland Railroad,
has resigned his position of Superintend-
of the Rutland division of the Vermont
Central lines, to accept the Superintend-
enoe of the Northern New London Rail-
road, to which he was called. Col. Mer-
rill came conspicuously into notice dur
ing the early years of the war as Gov.
Fairbanks Secretary and assistant in the
organization of Vermont troops. His rare
executive talents, suavity in manner and
quiet industry recommended him to rail
road managers. He went to Rutland
without acquaintance, but SO won the
estimation of the people that he was
chosen to the State Senate last fall. His
removal from Rutland is sincerely re-
GREETED, alike in its business and social
circles, in which Mr. Merrill was equally
esteemed.
The Springfield Republican of Wednes-
day makes the following note:
Col. George A. Merrill, late Superin-
tendent of the Rutland Il Burlington
Railroad, will tomorrow assume charge
Of the New London and Northern, with
headquarters at New London,
