About one o'clock this tuesday NOR
ming, the house of Solomon W. Jewett, at
the corner of E asst and Green streets, was
entered by a burglar, but, happily, bis
presence was discovered before he had
succeeded in securing any property.
The entrance was effected through q
window in the front room. Mr.. Jewett,
being awakened by his wife, had just
opened the door that lead from the kitcb-
en- to the front room, when the midnight
visitor, having effected an entrance, and
in doing so, made considerable noise,
seeing hin, quickly subrided in corner.
He was aeked what he wanted there, to
which be replied that he wanted to warrp
himself. Mr.. Jewett thereupon seized 8
chair, and in language more emphatic and
expressive than elegant or polite, invited
him 10 leave He then made hasty exit
through the open window, closely follow
ed by Mr.. Jewett, who hastily pursued
him to Green street, where he lost all
trace of him.
The burglar is described as being an
athletic man, about five feet seven inches
in height, light complexion, short whis-
kers. He was dressed in brOwnish color
ed clothes and wore a small cap.

THE STATE FINANCES. - We quite
agree with what the St. Adams Messenger
saws in reference to our State finances and
the efficient State Treasurer. The exhibit
of our State finances which we laid be-
fore our readers on Monday, is one of the
most satisfactory that has ever been pub
lished. Our remarkable Legislature,
economical to parsimony, and biennial to
stupidity, made no provision for its pub.
location, and 80 we deem it the proper
office of the enterprisiug press to supply
the omission. The reduction of our debt
to the extent of four hundred and ninety
eight thousand dollars during the year is
comforting fact, and when our mer-
chants complain of hard times and our
farmers feel blue because butter has aver
aged seven cents pound less this year
than last, we do not know what more
cheering piece of inform alton they could
we'll have than that our noble State is
likely to be entirely out of debt only
seven years hence. We may well be
proud of the hsalthful condition of the
Treasury, and the gratitude of the inhabi-
tants is due to the Hon. John A. Page for

THANKsGIyING.--Goy Stewart has
issued his proclamation, designating
Thursday, November Both, as day OF
thanksgiving in this State. This recon.
mendstion should be appropriately recog.
nized by all the people of the State; and
in the midst of their rejoicings and mer-
ry making, let them remember their suffer

stricken States. Let the day be one Of
Thanksgiving for the bounteous aid sent
from all parts of the world to the
sufferers in the cities and in the burner
forest districts of Wisconsin, Michigan
and Minnesota, aud wherever else II a
hearts of good people have been touched
and have responded to the appeal for
sympathy and assistance. Let our people
return thanks that in their abundance
they are enabled to relieve distressed hu-
manity wherever it may laneuish. Tb.
tbirtieth of November should be reeoa-
nized by the people of Vermont for q
grand triumph of donations for the poor
of all our communities, and in the i'm
poverished districts of our sister States.

EXCELSIOR,
The Education of Children.

Snow fell in our town the past week
to the depth Of five and half inches,
and the streets were made merry with
the sonnd of sleigh bella. Winter seemed
to commence in earnest. The beauties Of
golden autumn have departed, and nature
is at rest, to waken at the approach OF
spring, and put on her beautiful robes
again to the praise Of Him, whe so grn-
ciously sends the season to tl-ss and ben
eft mankind. How fitting the winter
months in which to review the mercies OF
the past summer, with it's ripeniug crops,
and the autumnal harvests, filing the
graneries of the husbsndmen with the
products of the soil, for the maintenance
of man and boast. Our mountain streams
will coon be locked up with frost and
ice, which the little girl in her simplicity,
said was ''water gone to Sleep" shall rule
the hour, while the snow will enable the
the lumbermen to pile their mill yards
with logs for the approaching spring, in
which to furnish for the wants of man
material for building and repairing the
necessary shelter for man and the brute
creation.
The long winter evenings will afford
an excellent opportunity for our young
people to study and read good books and
newspapers, that they may grow up quail.

ly render them powerful auxiliaries in
building up society, the State and nation,
upon the imperishable basis of intelli-
gence and virtue. But to enable our youth
to do this, they must have competent
teachers, men and women who not only
have book knowledge themselves, but who
know how" to impart instruction to the
children in such a shape as shall render
it inviting, and create within their young
minds an appetite to realize its fruits, and
partake with zest and relish the intellect.
ual food spread out before them. Many
teachers think their task done when they
hear classes recite. But to my mind this
is the smallest part of the duties of the
teacher. The scholar should be made to
know why things are SO, and the teacher
who cannot impart this information had
better retire from the field of public in-
structiou, and give place to those who
can perform this highly important duty.

ness of his regular profession, will give
prompt attention to all matters pertaining

Sl4de was connected during the late VIZ

great Advantages in presenting Claims for

boys with snow-balls He gave chase,
and soon seiz-d one of the hoys, when an
other coming to his comrsd-'- rescue, was
saluted with heavy blow from the butt
end of the mans whip, which prostrated
the boy to the ground. He was found to
be seriously injured. and was taken up
and conveyed to his home. The boys did
wrong in aes4iling the man, while he was
certainly not justified in striking the boy
with the butt end of heavy whip in the
manner he did. To have used the lash
would have been much better.
