The snow is so deep in our noun
tain towns as to seriously impede the
people in the numbering business, and
The consequence is that few mills are be-
ing stocked for spring saving.

Mr. Forbes is teaching the village
school and gives general satisfaction.
The school in the Smith district is taught
by Mr. Lorenzo Phelps, an experienced
teacher and former town superintendent.
We can speak good word for all the
schools, and are glad to say that public
sentiment demands that order be main
tanned in the school room.
The National Bank in this place is
evidently well managed as might he
shown by figures. The value of its
shares has been increased by retention
of dividends, and its working capital
thereby enlarged. The old board of Of
ficers has been reelected
Mr. FL. T. Cuts is cutting several
hundred cords of wood, and delivers it
at Chipman's Point. He keeps large
dairy, and the past year instead of TAX
ing his milk to the cheese factory. as
formerly, he purchased and set up at
home, four large pans with the latest ar
rangements for cooling the milk. The
result was most favorable. He made
from three to five dollars day more
than if he had taken his milk to the fac
tory. besides establishing his reputation
as a manufacturer of first-class butter.
Others, we predict, will go and do like
wise, next season.
The friends of Mr.. H. g. Hubbard
would offer their congratulations on his
safe return from Washington. May the
Ray of happiness ever continue to illu-
inmate his path.
For a real live business firm COM
mend us to that of Z. NJ. Wright & Son.
They sell great many goods at their
store. Where there's a VIII there's a
way of pleasing customers.
Quite religious interest is mani
tested here. The week of prayer was
duly observed, and meetings are still held
at the Congregational church nearly
every evening, with large attendance.
There are a number of hopeful CONVEX
sions. May the good work continue.
ALPHEUs.
CASTLEToN.
At the annual meeting of the cor
poration of Castleton Seminary and the
State Normal School, held January
2Sth, Pitt w. Hyde was elected Presi-
dent. in place of Rev. Lewis Francis
resigned; jerome B. Bromley was
chosen Secretary, to fill the vacancy
caused by the removal of c. nj. Willard,
and Samuel Williams and John Lang
don were elected members of the board
to fill vacancies.
Two BOYS, some twelve or fourteen
wears of age, left here few weeks ago,
unknown to any one. They went to
Boston and from thence to Hoosic Tun-
mel, and remaining there for day or
two, pushed on to Albany and New
York. At the expiration of ten days,
one of them, whose parents reside in
this village, returned home, having ac-
complished all this feat at an expense of
only two dollars and fifty cents, or one
half of the amount of ready cash he pos
sessed when starting on the excursion.
The other young lad remains away, and
will probably never return, as he turns
out to be rover about the world.
Last Friday, as T. NJ Sherman was
returning from the village to his home,
when passing over, what is known as,
the Hubbardton crossing, a half mile
east of this village, train of cars came
= % nth hio lair rh fhrnruinu Mr.
Sherman between twenty and thirty
feet, and smashing the sleigh into kind
ling wood. He was in the village again
before night, suffering but slightly from
the injuries received. Mr.. Sherman is
little deaf, and the cars not being on
time, accounts for his not noticing the
approaching train. He is a business
man, and rides over this crossing from
six to twelve times day, and has done
so for years. He was slightly bruised at
this point once before.
Religious meetings are still in pro-
gress here, as they have been for the
four weeks past. The union meetings
were closed last Monday night week,
since then, each society have worshipped
in their own place, Rev. N. p. Gilbert
officiating for the Congregationalists.
Rev. Mr.. Williams, of West Rutland,
formerly a teacher in the Seminary
when it was in charge of Rev. Azariah
Hyde, and whose wife is the daughter
of the late Edward Denison, was pres
ent, one night last week, and lent ac-
ceptable aid in the good work. The
Thursday night meeting was one of pray
er for colleges.
Within twenty-five years the gradu-
ates in college from Castleton, most of
them at Middlebury, have been three
Boardmans, three Higleys, two Hookers,
