noticed that particular attention had been
paid to Orthoepy, or pronunciation, and
the correct, distinct and clear pronunci-

war, and the manner in which the different
campaigns and even the plans and de-

This closes the second year of our graded
school, and our people greatly realize its
benefits. The school is well patronized,
and it is the determination of our village to
fully sustain it. Our wealthy men are the
most forward in voting large pecuniary
support, and all appreciate the beneficial
results of the high schools, as they daily
see it shown in the interest the pupils
take in attending school. We have no
young loafers in Wallingford now.
Great credit is due the teachers for the
able and thorough manner in which they
have discharged their duties, and to the
committee for the zeal they have shown in
sustaining them.
The fall term will commence the first
Monday in September and we opine will be
the largest school ever known in this vii.

Factory Point.
Mr.. o. M. Howe has completed his Gel
lar and foundation for large three-story
building on the lot recently purchased of
DIR. Ezra Edison near the Deery store. Men
of such enterprise deserve the countenanee
and encouragement of the citizens of every
village or community in which they oper-
ate. They are public benefactors, increas-
ing the wealth of the town, and are enti.
tied to the countenance and patronage of
the people, rather than those drones who
never contribute to any enterprise.
Mr.. James Sampson has succeeded in
developing quarry of superior fine white
