 Our Vilage Schools.-There is consider able complaint among those who send
 scholars to the Academy and Grove schools
 in this village of the manner in which the
 division of the scholars for each school
 is made. Effort has been made to have
 the more advanced scholars attend at the
 academy and tue younger at the Grove
 school, but for some reason or other nearly all the scholars in the district little and
 big, flock to the Academy, or at least
 those wbo do not go seem to want to. There are now fifty four on the register at tho Academy and only thirty at the Grove school. It is the wish of teachers of both l schools that all scholars who are not able | to read in classes which read in the Fourth
 reader should go to the Grove school, and
 those of classes in the Fourth and larger
 readers to the Academy. We are informed
 that to make the division as stated above.
 would, ss the registers of the schools now
 stand, make them in numbers exactly alike. l Wiu the scholars please act in acco rdance
 with the above request. and thus establish

 1 North Canddn.-Frend Pease: Since
 wrote you last the temperance men have moved for vote at the next town meeting for license or no license. With some it is
 question of expedicncy. The prevailing
 opinion is a vote for no license may be
 carried in this town, in which case all may
 sell if they like, us, under the late prohiba- tory law, so long as there is not enough moral sentiment to enforce the law. Oth- ITS say limited license. Then the SUD- lorters of the rum trafic will be divided mong themselves and aid in suppressing 3 de sale, except soAere license Ss granted. l lam of the opinion that the question is not 3 ts be thus settled, as someone said not long

 rady there is considerable cauvassing for ' candidates. and factions of parties are try ing hard for fusion ticket. The straight '. ou old parties are quietly waiting the re- sut. No doubt there will be tria. of [ stright party ticket, unless the temperance ' lealers secure in one or other of the partie! the nomination of their man.

 n OCCASIONAL. e XGHsrten.-The business prospects O ;. Milerton look bright. The inhabitants O b th& lively railroad centre seem wide awak r- to their own interests. Buildings are goinI e up and everything indicates business thrif e and enterprise. As though there were no
 already stores enough there, Mr. H. Eggle # ston is erecting very fine one facing tn ,, Duchess and Columbia railroad depot. . would hardly be thought that a store devo ed almost exclusively to the hardware bus Q mess would live in Mlllerton, yet MT. J. R ,,i Paine runs such all establishment, and nc n.y. only lives but waxes fat. He has larg 10 assortment of everything in the line c 70 hrdware. iron, steel, nails &c.,, for cour .r try store, as well as paints and oils. La: d Saturday we attempted to buy 8 small loc
 at bOne of the other stores in that village
 when we were gently informed that the
 did not keep locks; that the hardacaa
 store was the place to buy hardware. Tn c is exactly the right way to make plao e grow. If there is a hardware store in th e village, or store devoted exclusively e any other department of trade, the othe IS merchants should help that individual stol n by not only not keeping for sale lis line ( l. goods but by sending customers there. M IS Paine is driving good trade and we al n glad of it. Among the numerous otht T. stores in Millerton, (two or three only ( n which can we mention now), are Messr B. Reed, Beach & Co.,, whose shelves are we le filled, and who keep five men hard at wol le behind their counters and the store of ?" monds & Co.,, which has recently bee to painted, outside and in, and which is le neat that flies are invited to remove the le sandals before they enter for the busine at of the day. It is plainly evident that Mi Te erton is lon the grow"

 They had upwards of two hours to wa .- and before the train arrived nearly eve | .o man was drunk. Then they began quarr a. ing. The train conductor, William Or ". shen, stopped at the station and the soldie s. stepped on board. They numbered abo ro one hundred. The conductor attempted
