Register contradictcd Il two weeks ago.
Colombia Chief as then stated, has
fully recovered from the epizootic, and
is now well and hearty The idea Of his
being "valued at $4,000" Is ridiculous,
Mr.. Camp has been offered $4,000 for
him, which be refused, and we don't be-
lieve there is money enough in the State
Of New York to purchase him from his
present owner, Ifyou dispute our word
for Il, call on George W. Camp himself,
and ascertain what his opinion is.--Hud-

This rapidly growing village can
boast Of very extensive railroad facilities
and constant increase Of business, but its
active inhabitants are also alive TO educa-

a very fine academy under the superyis-

c. Hitchcock acting as principal, Miss
Sarah H. Saokett as assistant, and Mrs.
l.. G. Hitchcock attending to vocal and
instrumental music. II is now very pros
porous, aud well it may be, for il is beau
tifully situated in pleasant portion OF
the village, aflordiDg fine view of the
surrounding country, and is well calcu.
lated to accommodate pupils from neigh
boring towns whoreap benefit from on
railroads. The Boston & Albany, Har-
lem, Hudson and Harlem Extension each
have depot here, and school tickets are
given at reduced rates. We wish the pop
ular Principal and his two assistants a
continuance of success in the good work.
