NORTH BENNINGTON.
The lall term Of the No. Bennington
Graded School, under the supervision Of
Prof Howe, opened Oh Tuesday Of this
week. Mr., Howe rs IA man Of unuring
energy, high culture aud thorough deyo-
ton TO bis work. The sparkling eyes
and CHEEKY voices with which "our
young folks" communicated to each 9TH
er tie glad hJlngs, "Mr. Howe has
come" eyinced the fact that his labor
has bot been iu vain. Under bis admin
i.traiion Il seems safe TO predict that the
institution so auspieiously established
here will be ia itself grand success and
The beginning ola desirable end, i.e., the
putting in practical operation Of a per-
iected system Of common schools, placing
within reach Of every Green Mountain
boy and girl the means Of acquiring a
thorough academic education, which will
ere long be the browning glory OF our
State.
1t Is au oft repeated adage, that there
is always a calm before a storm, but in
one instance at least the order appears
to be reversed aud the calm comes afleI
the storm. The late tempest in a tea
pot" created by our Greeley friends hos
subsidized Scarcely ripple disturbs the
placid surface Of the deep. No sound
(politicaD is heard, save the faint MUIR
murings Of an occasional 'percenter,'
yainly striving to disdll a few drops Of
consolation from their late inglorious de-
feats, with which to brace up their shat
tered nerves for the final struggle in No
vembcr. That distant peal of thunder
from the Old North State" swelling in
volume as il touched the highlands of
West Virginia, has rolled along the
mountains and valleys Of VT, arousing
her patriotic sons to a lively sense of du-
ty as citizens Of one common country,
thus adding new lustre to the star that
never sets. Gathering new force In its
onward course, it has reyerberated
through the forests and over the hills of
the Pine Tree State, until reaching the
extreme limit of our broad domain,
back the echo comes, tolling the death
knell Of Greeleyism, and filling millions
Of patriotic hearts with new joy, zest and
enthusiasm. Let the good work go on,
let the echo repeat itself from Maine to
Florida, from Cape Cod to the Pacific,
until upon the 9th of November the great
"tidal wave" upon whose proud crest
Greeley and his apostles should, accord
ing to their own vain boast, ride trium-
phantly into power, shall have swept
over the length and breadth of our land,
engul6ng in one common, irretrievable
ruin every vile SANDER aud malic-
ious slanderer of Gen. Grant, but bear
ing aloft in safety to the haven of peace
and prosperity the glorious old war-worn
and tempest-tossed Republican ship and
her gallant crew, ever loyal to the cter-
nal rule of right and rejoicing in the
privilege Of doing honor to him who hay
ing won undying fame as the national
standard bearer, in time of war has been
no less skillful in the arts of peace. S.
