REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE
TO THE TRUSTEES.


Gentlemen Having performed the
work assigned us, as committee, to ex-
anime the schools under your care, we
hereby submit to you our impressions
made by the examination.
The schools are, in general, well man.
aged and thoroughly instructed, though,
in these respects, differences are very
perceptible: In two or three schools
there seemed to be want of proper ap-
probation of the value of good order
and thorough instruction on the part of
teachers, and a lack of proper deport-
ment and interest in study on the part of
pupils but, in most cases, we found di-
rectly the opposite of this, and in some
instances we were happy to find teach
ers superior in ability, both to govern
and to teach. We speak now more par
ticularly of the Primary, Secondary and
Unclassified schools, and, without going
further in the examination, we were
strengthened in the conviction that the
teacher, like the poet, sis born, not
made :" and we could but hope that such
will soon come to be fully known and
appreciated by their employers.
Most of our time IN the examination
was devoted to the intermediate, Gram
mar and High Schools, and we are,
therefore, prepared to speak more con-
fidently of them than of others and
it gives us great pleasure to say that we
deem these schools worthy of very high
commentator. The recitations, in al
most every instance, gave abundant evil
dence of thorough critical instruction,
and of persevering, earnest and faithful
study.
We congratulate you, gentlemen, and
the people of Rutland, generally, for
the excellence of these schools. For
several years we have known Mr.. Dana,
the principal, as an able and faithful
teacher, and from this examination of
the schools under his immediate charge,
and of his own classes, especially, we
are confirmed in our opinion of his emil
nent ability as teacher. Nor would we
fail to express our utmost confidence in
the ability and faithfulness of his assist
ants.
In conclusion, allow US to suggest that
the people of Rutland, as elsewhere, are
responsible for the existence of poor
schools, if they have them, because fire.
quent visits and careful inspection would
reveal their existence and lead to their
removals and again, such visits and in
spection would, we are sure, lead your
people to more just estimation of the
many excellent teachers In their schools,
and of the noble work done by them.

Ssanby.

A Greeley club was organized here on
Saturday evening, June 22d. Notwith-
standing the short notice given, it was
largely attended, and was an enthusiast
tic political gathering. The following
officers were elected p. T. Griffith
President J. G. Williams, Secretary !;
]. J. Soule, Assistant Secretary Mar
tin Hickey, J. n. Phillips, VIM. Pierce,
D. w Rogers, G. G. Herrick, J nichols,
Patrick Neyins, and Ira Cook. Vice
Presidents G. H. Congdon, A. S. Ba-
ker, J. G. Williams, Corresponding Com
mittee o. B. Baldwin, ID. A. Kelley,J.
F. Phillips, Financial Committee.
This club is to be called the Dandy
and Mt. Tabor Greeley Club. Meetings
are to be held once week, alternately,
at the Corners and at the Borough, A
committee was appointed TO draft a con-
stitution and bylaws. The following
preamble was adopted to which a large
number of names We're obtained, as
members of the club, including some of
our most prominent men:
''Ihe object of this organization shall
be to carry out the principles laid down
in the Cincinnati platform, by the cleo
ton of Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown, to the offices Of President and
Vice President of United States"

Arrangements are in progress to secure

Arrangements are in progress to secure
fare one way on the several railroads !;
also on the Lake Champlain and Lake
George steamboats,. Posters containing
full programme will be issued in few
days.
This occasion will undoubtedly call
together large crowd from Vermont
and New York who will visit this spot,
so marked in the early history of our
country, especially in the struggles of
Vermont for separate and independent
existence.
The remains of the old fort and the
military works, now crumbling ruins,
still attest their original splendor and
strength. They are now guarded and
preserved by private taste and intelli-
gence from vandal outrages which were
rapidly destroying them. Winsiow G.
Watson, the excellent historian of Essex
County, says, eve may cherish the
hope that the most extensive and impos-
ing ruins in America, redolent with the
brightest historical associations and be-
coming shrouded in the venerableness of
antiquity, will be perpetuated to excite
the admiration and to attract the Pill
grimage of future ages. These fields
are now titled in the peaceful pursuits
of industry"
In the vicinity of Ticonderoga, balls,
muskets, swords, and numerous other
relics of war are being constantly re-
vealed, At one time the line of the IA
tai abatis might almost be traced by these
dumb, but significant memorials of the
spot where the harvest of the death had
been most exuberent. The course of the
Recommendations and trenches, singular
ly complex and interlaced, may readily
be distinguished. Part of the battle
ment, rising above the rocky cliff are
almost entire. The line of the ramparts
is still traced; the ruins of portion OF
the barracks remain, although private
cupidity has removed much of the brick
and stone of the buildings. The bakery
is a state of good preservation.
The first Field Day of the Vermont
Historical Society at Ticonderoga, bids
fair to be a grand success.

HoT DAYS IN New YoRK.-Ordinari-
ly meteorological extremes are spoken of
good humoredly. but when the mercury
is 10 degrees above zero in winter, or 80
in summer, popularity is inopportune,
and with most men impossible. The
sweltering masses in the city for the past
two days have found little satisfactionin
the tropical heat which has threatened
to ruin appetite and energy. Summer
pleasures have palled; the fragrant lit
tie bouquet in the button-hole has wilted
almost as soon as gathered, and the
brief excursionists to suburban watering
places have not administered the custom
airy cooling relaxation, the bay and riv-
ers even having been almost without a
ripple.
ia m, Sunday, the thermometer
marked ga degrees, 3 degrees added by
noon, and at p. M. the heat reached
90 degrees. Twenty-Five cases of sun
stroke occurred Saturday and Sunday in
the CITY. y. Tribune.

curry operated under the influence of
high pressure yesterday and Saturday.
A gentle breeze modified the intensity of
Saturdays heat, but yesterday the zeph-
yrs seemed to have betaken themselves
TO far-off climes, and the city sweltered
without any hope of alienation until
nightfall. At o'clock the thermome-
ter registered eighty and at 10 ninety in
places not much exposed to the heat. At
one point the mercury marked ninety
eight in the shade, while at very few
was il less than ninety between II and
half past o'clock About 3 o'clock the
mercury took another rise and ranged
from ninety-eight to ahundred and four,
according to location. Cool spots were
difficult of access, and even those who
sought refreshment by trip down the
harbor returned limp and exhausted
from the continuous heat and calm. As
the sunset approached, the mercury
gradually descended, though at 6 o'clock
it was still above eighty. Rueful faces,
dripping with perspiration, were fire.

VERMoNTERs ABRoAD.-John Deere,
of Moline, Illinois, who was a black
smith in Middlebury, VT, emigrated to
that town, years ago, with $75 and a
kit of tools as his entire stock in trade.
He now owns 600 acres of land near
Moline, and is the head of concern
whose factory makes 10000 ploughs and
cultivators per year, and the capacity of
which will be increased one-half this
season. He has a well earned
reputation for generosity in aid
ing persons of talent to places
where they can achieve recognition. A
marked instance recently occurred in
Moline, where the old gentleman busted
himself in getting up an audience for
young lady whose great musical powers,
through the fundamentally of few
people like him, are becoming known to
the general public. One of the business
enterprises, in which he is engaged, dates
from Massachusetts-the manufacture
of Marseilles- goods-which was first
carried on to a considerable extent at
Huntington.

Field Day at Fort Ticcndcroga.

! Announcements have already been
made of a Field Day of the Vermont
Historical Society, at Fort Ticonderoga,
n. Y, on the banks of Lake Champlain,
on Thursday, July 18th, 1872. 1t has
long BEEN the desire and intention of this
society to have a Field Day celebration
at some point of historic interest, and
none seemed more admirably adapted,
| both in its historical and natural sur
rOundings, than the place where Yer
monts distinguished hero achieved
his most successful exploit, and uttered
those memorable words of demand:
g In tie name of tie GreGt JeIoDah md
The ContjnentaJ Congress :" The csle-
bration is one which can combine much
of interest both to the citizen of Ver-
mont and New York, in fact every
American citizen who hOnors his cOun-
try and the struggles of his ancestors.
1t affords the Vermont Historical Socie-
ty, which has attained an honored posi-
ton among similar associations, an OPP
portunity to invite its sister societies
throughout the country to join with
them in day of local as we'll as nation
al historic association, in looking over
the ruins and points Of celebrity that
surround them.
The celebration is not intended to be
carried forward with great degree of
formality, farther than appropriate pub
lie exercises, at the conclusion of which
the varied localities will be pointed out.
The citizens of Ticonderoga take great
pride in their historic town and desire to
do every thing in their power to afford
facilities to carry out the purposes of
the celebration and to aid the Historical
Society in their field day pastimes. A
local committee has been appointed, of
which Col w Z. Calkins, well known
and honored citizen, is chairman, who
will have charge of the immediate local
arrangements.
On the arrival Of the special steam
boat from Burlington, at about eleven
o'clock, a. M, a procession will be
formed under the direction of Col. W.
E. Calkins, Chief Marshal, and march
to the ground selected, where the pub
lie exercises viii take place, according
to the following

DIR. Lord, the President of the society,

our State whose reputation is a suff1-
Gent guaranty of any address that he
may deliver, welcoming sister societies
and the masses that may come to that
historic ground.
