the cars "while the shades of night were

Henry d. Pierce of this place, and
a graduate of Dartmouth College last
summer, is Principal of the High School
at Toledo, Ohio, and is gaining quite a
reputation there, as will be seen by an
article taken from the Toledo BLade of
March Goth. Of the public examination
it says:
1--WE had but little time to spend in
Junior High School, Of which Mr.
Pierce is Principal, but that little served
to convince us that like its colleagues it
was ably and efficiently conducted. A
musical colloquy in French, embodying
an adaptation of Cinderella, was
given in full costume. 1t had evi-
IDENTIFY been prepared with care, and de-
lighted the audience. The reading of a
selection manifested clear enunCiatlon
and faithful training, while volume of
drawings, illustrative of exercises in ma
tural philosophy, evinced how clearly
the pupils had comprehended their les
sons. and how firmly they impressed the
mind, in order to demonstrate them SO
lucidly. We regretted that want of
time would not permit US to linger and
listen to the literary exercises in this de-
partment, since the mere glimpse we
enjoyed was both a pleasure and profit. y
Vermont has sent forth great many
good teachers from her colleges and high
schools into the western and northern
States, of which she may be proud.

The GRANvI LIE FIRE.-The hotel at
Granville was totally destroyed by fire
on Wednesday night, as already stated
in our columns. We learn further that
the house adjoining, a two-storY frame
building, occupied by Seth Williams as
a dwelling house and grocery store, was
also burned. All the outbuildings con-
nected with the hotel were consumed,
together with the trotter "Waltzing
Dan" and another valuable horse, the
former being valued at $4,000. The
hotel property was owned by William
Woodward, and occupied by Sidney
Kinney. The loss will be upward of
$4,000, with an insurance of some
$4,000. The fire is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.

TERRIBLE CASUALTY George, only
son of Frank Mead of Elmore, aged ten
years, was found dead by his mother,
April 10th, about three o'clock in the
afternoon, hanging by the neck. He
had, for some trif1ing offense been sent
from the table and directed to go up
stairs, which he very readily did. His
mother saw him sitting very composedly
on the stairs soon after he left the table.
Mrs. George White, who lives in the
same house, says she distinctly heard
him walking and singing not moro than
ten minutes before he was found dead.
There was rope attached to the rail
ing which hung down about midway of
of the stairs, with loop in the end
large enough to pass over his head, with
which the children were accustomed to
play When found, the loop was around
his neck, his feet on the stair, and his
back to the wall as though he was alive.
1t is probable that in his playfulness he
had slipped the loop over his head and
by some means lost his balance, and did
not rest his feet upon the stair until con-
sciousness was so far gone that he was
unable to extricate himself.

ANOTHER DIsGRACEFUL AFFAIR IN ST.
ALBANs. The Messenger says that an
other of those ''social Irregularities,
which are becoming too disgracefully
frequens, occurred in a tenement on La
selle street one night last week. Peter
Tatro, freight conductor, suspected his
wife's marital fidelity, and so left home
one evening ostensibly to 90 to st. Johns;
he concluded not to go. Returning to
his house at midnight, he discovered
that somebody had been there since he
had been gone + in fact, that one Charles
Devereaux had violated one of the ten
commandments, and so the aggravated
husband proceeded to administer to him
a severe castigation. Devereaux man
aged to escape, ran TO the office OF the
Chief of Police, and the result was that
Tatro was arrested, and the next day
was brought before the Municipal Court
ON complaint of assault and battery.
But the complainant did not appear. and
his whereabouts are at present unknown.
