CABDT The close of the summer term OF
school, taught by Miss Hattie l.. Hooker, in
school district No 5, was made the occasion oil
a very pleasant time. On the afternoon of the
18th inst. most Of the people Of the district
and some from nm adlnining one, assembled al
the school house, TO listen to declarations and
Rotations by the children, whose ages varied
from six to thirteen years. The children all
spoke in very distinct and easy manner A
dialogue, entitled Fortune Telling" spoken
by Eliza and Ellen Knapp, Dora Whitconil
and Florence Rogers, was remarkably good
also the closing pieces, " Farewell 10 School, -
spoken by Julia Whitcomb, and 4" Farewell
to the Teacher" spoken by Robert walbridge
were very appropriate. After the close Of the
exercises the company went 10 grove, where
they intended 10 have a picnic, but a shower
coming up it was thought best to return to the
school. house, where tables were soon arranged
and bounttuly spread with great variety o.
excellent food. Throughout the whole the
children, by their good behavior, did great
credit TO their parents. their teacher and
themselves. Altogether, il was a very pleasant
occasion to all present, and il such scenes were
of more frequent occurrence it would no doubt
do much 10 encourage the children in our com
mon schools.
Several of our farmers are making arrange
ments to attend the New England Fair at
Boston.
Postmaster Sprague is spending few days
at Newport, 10 rest from his business and i'm
prove his health
The select school in this town commences
September Sd, with Mr.. G.. q. Loyejoy as
Principal. and Miss Leila Foster assistant.
Both teachers come highly recommended.
The present season is bringing larger
number of strangers and visitors into town
than ever before. and all appear to enjoy the
nice drives and fine views, and our spring is
receiving its full share Of patronage, and we
hope, doing many wonderful cures.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT. On Friday afternoon
the extra freight train No Is drew up on the
side track at Montpelier junction, 70 allow the
old mail train from the south to pass After
passing, the conductor of the freight train,
Moses W ilson, ordered his train to back and
run up on the main track, as there was some
business to be done at the station. After this
had been attended to and the train started, the
engineer discovered that switch about one
fourth of mile from the station was mis-
placed He jumped from his engine and
FASTENED TO correct it,, but It was too late the
engine was upon the rail which the switch
moves, and its weight, of course, prevented his
turning it. The result was that the engine
and three cars ran off the track, totally de-
molishing the cars, and badly demoralizing the
engine, which fell partially into the river
alongside. The fireman, Lawrence Kane, was
severely injured, but, We are glad to learn, is
out of danger The bark with which the cars
were loaded was scattered around rather pro-
miscuously, but the greater part Of it was
picked up and saved. A gang of hands was
sent down from st. Adams, and Sunday after
noon the engine was got out and transported to
the repair shops. We notice that some papers
lay the blame Of the accident upon a careless
switchman. II is sufficient to say in reference
to this statement that MIR. Moses o. Pingree,
who has been In the employ Of the road at the
station for about ten years, and has charge Of
the switches there, is in no wise to blame, that
resting upon other shoulders than his.

Nuisance. The ladies who sometimes have
occasion to traverse our streets in the evening,
are occasionally subjected to the annoyance Of
rude men, who follow them, aud often address
them insultngly. One or two Of these low
fellows hang around the front of the State
House yard, and seem to imagine themselves
at liberty to salute and follow any lady they
may meet, or lie in wait for them at the cor
ners Of the street. A little personal chastise
ment may be needful, in order to cure their i'm
prudence.
