THE BENNINGTON GRADED SCHool

THE BENNINGToN GRADED School
MATTER.-The Banner says;
There was no getting "spooney' by
the boys and girls in Mr. Gould's de-
partment of our graded school. one
boy persisted in throwing written billets
around the school room, and was stopped
by the teacher; the boy resisted and
could have been easily and sOundly
thrashed by the teacher CHATS the good
old way" they did things when we went
to SCHOOL, The trustees thought expul-
sion the better remedy, and the princi-
pal obeyed orders. There was no row,
no striking, no eyes blackened, no ten
page billet-doux, no teacher IN trouble,
nobody's nose was injured, no delay of
the school exercises, no committee
looking for fighting teacher, no break
ing up of the schools, no nothing about
the whole affair except the sensational
Stiffness of Troy reporter. That is
surely and truly all the foundation there
is for the unjust squibs and statements
that are now going the rounds in the
papers of our State, relating to our
graded school.
We gladly give place to the above for
the sake of the principal of the school,
Mr.. Gould, whom we know to be a rep
utable and worthy man. We discredited
the story as at first detailed-but any
newspaper man could readily have seer
why we published it, and we were very
careful that due "credit should be
given to the originator of it. -.

We call attention to Moseley q
Stoddard's advertisement of the Wood
Mowers. which in this section, as in fact
in most parts of the world, has become
a standard implement in husbandry.
This agency was established in 1867,
and has sold over 600 five hundred
machines, and the pains which are taken
by them to supply extra parts, and the
establishing repair shop for repairing
all mowers, is an important feature
which farmers should appreciate AL
though the Wood Moving and Reaplng
Company are manufacturing one htlnd'
red and twenty-five machines daily, they
are scarcely able to supply the demand
we learn, which shows the estimation Ia
which they are held by farmers.
Rev. Stephen Wright has removed
from Pittsford to East Wallingford, ana
is 10 labor with the Baptist church al
the latter place.

VERGENNEs.- The woodshed at the

three Friday afternoon, it is supposed
from the spark of passing locomotive,
and for time, the wind blowing brisk
Iy. there were great fears that it, to-

Dispatches were sent to Burlington and

extinguished without serious damage.

Chester Kingsley moved that the meet

Chester Kingsley moved that the meet
ing be dissolved.
John w. Cramton said we had come
here for business, and he was surprised
that any one should move to adjourn.
If the meeting will not vote tax of
twenty-five cents, give US fifteen cents
and we will do the best we can.
The motion to dissolve was lost
A tax of fifteen cents on the dollar
was then voted.
The second article of the warning ''to
see if the village will vote tax suffi-
Gent to repair the sewer between the
railroad embankment and Forest street,
and finish up the connecting link between
Ripley's block and West street," was
dismissed.
Under the third article of the warning
Miner Hilliard said that the committee
had no report to make other than was
made in his speech.
Ner P. Simons said there were some
things last year that oughtnot to be pass
ed over. We have not examined into
the affairs in detail, or to see whether
you get value received for your money.
We have only examined the printed re-
port which you all have. He then re-
ferred, at length, to the figures contain
ed in the annual report, claiming that,
with the possible exception of the ex-
penditure on sewers, the trustees will be
personally liable for excess of expendi-
lures over the amount of tax on the
highway and Village Hall.
The fourth article in the warning was
then taken up, ''to consider the question
of funding the interest on the water
bonds, or any other question relating to
the said bonds
In reference to this article Martin G.
Everts said that the expenditure hereto
fore made and the bonds and coupons to
become due ought not to be burden on
the taxpayers, and that it ought to be
| funded.
lockwood Barrett made statement
of the amount paid by the village and to
! become due this year-the same as pub
lished in THE HERALD in the report of
the last meeting, and closed by offering
the following resolution:
Voted j.: That the trustees be authoriz.
ed to issue the notes of the village OF
Rutland, payable at such time and on
such terms as they may deem best fol
the interests of the village, for sun
sufficient to reimburse the treasury fol
money paid for interest on the "Reser
voir Bonds, and also for such portion
of the principal and interest of sale
! bonds which mature during the present
year as shall not be otherwise provided
for. The proceeds of said bonds shall
be used only in payment of the indebt
edness of said village.
n. p Simons further explained the
position of Mr. Barrett.
Charles Woodhousc advocated the pas
sage of the resolution.
The resolution was then adopted.
The fifth article in The warning wa
dismissed and the meeting adjourned.

but seldom accompanied me to those
gay scenes, but 1 had become SO accus-
toned to appearing without him that it
scarcely mattered anything whether he
attended me or not.
Where all this blind fOOlishness might
have led me to I shudder to think. But
a merciful God interposed. With pity

senger of grace-a sweet pledge of love
to snatch me, it may be, from ruin. 1

the fact first became known to me was
very angry and mortified. had planned
such gay winter, and to he disappoint-
ed was SO sore trial I fear that if
had then studied my own heart I should
have discovered that the loss of Lieut..
Morris society and flattering speeches
was what would disappoint me most.
But as months passed on became recon-
ciled to this, especially as it brought
back all the old tenderness of my hus-
band, and the pleasant hours of social
intercourse so long neglected or unap-
preciated. In May my child, beauti-
full little daughter, was born. All the
maternal love within me was born with
it, and society, gayety and adulation
were all forgotten in the dear, sweet
treasures of home.
Oh, how I loved that child l often
wondered if all mothers thus loved their
children. And from the love born with
its birth there sprang such new feeling
of tenderness toward my husband that
/ had never dreamed could exist. Had
realized then, as do now, the mission
of that child, should have been pre-
pared more for what follows. But that
was not revealed to me till my heart
throbbed with the agony of desolation.
For three years this messenger of
love and peace chcered our home and
hearts. Then death robbed me of nv
treasure. Never was death more desc
latlnS nor sorrow more deep and muir
muring, followed by a sweeter, calmer,
holier submission.
Though years have passed since then,
my old love of gayety has never re-
turned. The whispers of vanity have
been unheeded, the loyalty of my heart
has never been questioned, because l
find a purer JOY i'll a life of devotion to
Him who, when folly had well-nigh
ruined me, raised His holy arm in my
behalf. And to-day, as | scatter fresh
spring flowers over the grave of her
whose grlileless soul led her mother S

my inmost soul Him "who gave, who
took, who will restorc-who doeth all
things we'll"

POPVLAR ERRORS.

To think the more a man eats the
fatter and stronger he will become. To
believe that the more hours children
study the faster they will learn. To
conclude that, if exercise is good, the
more violent it is the more good is done.
To imagine that every hour taken from
sleep is an hour gained. To act on the
presumption that the smallest room in
the house is large enough to sleep In.
To argue that whatever remedy causes
one to feel Immediately better is good
for the system, without regard to moro
ulterior effects. To eat without an sp-
petite, or to continue to eat after 1t has
been gratifed, merely to gratlfy the
taste. To eat hearty supper Tor the

4 JVIFE',S STORY.

Itwas little sweet face that came to

Itwas iustbefore the late war between

heats for all. Hewas reserved and dig

and light-hearted almost to frivolity, 1

me for my gayety, saying I sought to
settle down now had such an old-fash-
