Ply jointly with Mr.. G. j. Soper. TIL,

and improved, and it will be nice place
with plenty of light, air, room, and every
convenience of furniture and surround

This bed renovating is really nc
humbug. Messrs, Burt q Coates do ac

have given the matter some attention and
find that the process does not injure but
benefits the feathers, while as measur,
of cleanliness, its value will be readily

all who give them work.

The Congregational Sunday School

ingly interesting. The exercises consist.
ed OF verse recitations by the school, a
beautiful song by the bird-like voice Of
little Hattie Bond, a class exercise oil
questions and responses by two of the
classes, addresses by Profs. Sanborn, Hig
ley and Parker, and these exercises were
interspersed with the usual singing by the
children.
The meeting of the Board of Super.
intendehts of common schools for this
county, held in this village on the 18th
inst, is represented as having been very
harmonious. There was an evident de.
sire to advance the cause of true educa
ton, by careful and judcious action
rather than radical measures. This an
nual conference of the responsible schoo
officers OF the county can but be produc.
tive of good. The only regret is that all
do not attend. We trust that a lack Of
Of interest in their work, or light esti.
mate of its responsibilities, did not keer
away al! Of the absentces.
