HUBBARDToN.-OnT Thursday evening,
March 10Th, an interesting exhibition
took place at the school house near the
Congregational church in West Hub
bardton. The occasion was the close OF
the winter term of the school taught by
Miss Josephine Knowlton of Benson, who
has been one of general acceptance OF
both parents and pupils. Between thirty
and forty were in attendance during the
term, and from the youngest to eldest,
took some part in the exhibition. The
exercises comprised Rotations, declama-
tions, compositions and dialogues, inter
spersed with instrumental and vocal mu-
sic. The first exercise consisted of re-
peating psalm by the school in unison
The programme was then fully carried
out. The following are worthy of special
mention: Glow to be Happy" "He
will come and Play with me Now; )" "a
Christian Death-Bed )" "The use OF
Flowers" 1.-THE New Dead" "Trust in
God ;" " Why don't he Gomez" Never
Give Up" "Brave Sedgwick;" "The
Golden Crown" The comical pieces
were: "The Turnpike is a Glorious
Place ;" "The One-Horse Chaise;" and
the dialogues entitled Borrowing; >
advertising for Male Cook"
The whole affair was a pleasant and
agreeable one, and indicated that some
thing could be done in Hubbardton as
well as in larger places and highly
favored in point of privilege. Hubbard
ton is model town in more respects than
one. REPORTER"

Rutland and Brandon Graded
Schools,

Editor Rutland Herald We had the
pleasure a few days siRce of visiting the
Graded Schools of Rutland and Brandon
We found in them system, order and a
thoroughness that is seldom attained in
any school. There was an exactness, q
development of thought, keenness OF
perception, and promptnsss in recita.
ton, which are so necessary to make the
active energetic men and women that
this stirring age demands. The classes
of Prof. Dana and Prof. Cilley in the
languages, acquitted themselves in mas
terly manner, and though many of the
pupils were young, yet they showed re-
markable degree of proficiency in these
branches, and a knowledge of the ele-
ments that is so grossly neglected in
many schools. The people of Rutland
and Brandon may well feel proud of their
schools, and they have been exceedingly
fortunate in securing the services of such
men as Prof. Cilley and Prof. Dana to
manage the educational interests of their
village. They are men of thorough Gull
ture, deeply imbued with the spirit and
importance of their work, and carry with
them a mental power that stimulates their
pupils to earnest study and a thorough
mastery of their lessons. But who knows
of the toll, the anxiety, the cares, and the
perplexities of these noblemen of nature,
and their devoted bands of teachers
Who can measure their influence in the
present or the future? Who can esti-
mate the feet of these schools upon the
villages of Brandon and Rutland Could
the people of these places invest ten mill
lions of dollars in any other enterprise in
their vicnilies that would compensate
them for the evils that would follow the
humiliation of these schools Some may
complain of the taxes that maintain
them, but blot them from their midst and
their property would soon be worth but
one fourth of its present value, all who
could would abandon these places, and
fly to others where knowledge with its
elevating influences is the first object of
the people, business would languish, en-
telprises would fail for want of laborers,
grass would grow on the streets, pail of
ignorance would settle over these beauti-
full villages, the houses would be tenant
less, and the merry prattle of happy chill
dren would cease in their streets
But now the eminent educational facil-
itiea Of these places draw thither men
with capital. which they invest in enter
prises that give employment to laborers,
every tenement is occupied, and the sup
ply is much less than the demand.
There is an intelligence that beams
from the faces of youth, and civility of
manners that gives tone to society, and is
the exponent of refinement. There is the
hum of machinery, and an intense activ-
ity That comes only from enlightenment.
The schools of any State or town will
ever be the true opponents of the condi-
ton of those localities
We present this communication with
pleasure, as it comes from source of
high credibility, and from one who is a
lifelong teacher, who knows precisely
what he says in reference to schools, and
never deals in unmeaning words of COM
pliment or platitude.

THE VERMONT STATE FAIR. - The
committee on the location, appointed by
the Directors Of the Vermont State Agri-
cultural Society, to fix upon the place OF
holding the annual fair for 1871, have Sc
lected st. Johnsbury. Consequently the
exhibition will be held on the grounds OF
the Caledonia Agricultural Society, in
that town, the second week in September.
The citizens of st. Johnsbury have con-
tributed $4,000 to make the necessary
preparations. This location is made, we
understand, in jnstice to large section
of the State which has always manifested
deep interest in the success Of the socie-
ty. The object of the society is to give
all parts of the State an opportunity to be
represented from time to time in its an
nual exhibitions, and the valley of the
Passumpsic and Northeastern Vermont
have never before applied for it, and being
growing and thriving section of the
State, affording ample accommodations,
the committee have thought that they
were entitled to consideration, although
the exhibition might not prove as remu'
nerative to the society as some more GEN.
trail locality, like Rutland. The exhibi'
ton is located at st. Johnsbury for the
present year only. Rutland was prepared
to make liberal propositions for the e1hi.
ton, but concurring circumstances and
the obligations of the society to meet the
wishes of one of the richest and most pro-
ductive agricultural sections, led the conn
mittee on location to overlook the claims
of Rutland. We trust the exhibition
may prove a successful and profitable one
for the society.

the midst of his discourse, the rever-
end minister informed his audience that
he had "got about half through" bis
sermon, but as Governor Spooner had
come to hear it, he would begin again.
Then turning to woman who set near
him, he said, "My good woman, get out
of that chair and let Governor Spooner
have seat, if you please" Mr.. Spooner
was accommodated, and Mr.. Hutchinson
repeated the first part of his sermon,
much to the edifcation, it is supposed, OF
those who had already heard it.

MUTILATED CURRENCY. - Treasurer
Spinner has decided that Postmasters
must receive mutilated currency for its
full value in payment for postage stamps,
when, in cases of United States notes, not
more than one-twentieth of the note is
missing and in some cases of fractional
currency, when not more than one-twen-
tieth is missing. When notes and frac-
tional currency are mutilated beyond the
standard referred to, no one is compelled
to receive them for any part of their
value, and the only place where such
notes may be redeemed is at the United
States Treasury
