man. is not Mr.. Whites admiration for
Governor of Massachusetts,, and Butler
is not mistaken when he charges that the
''solid men of Boston" arenot his friends
in the gubernatorial race which he had
voluntarily chosen to undertake.
The old homestead place of the late
Judge Jabez Proctor, after whom this
village was named, now owned by bic
son, Col Redfeld Proctor, of Rutland,
is offered for SALE and at the risk OF a
sunicion that we would advertise for the
Colonel his estate, we remark that it is q
desirable location for any purchaser at

-s BRANDON. ..... ~.
Our graded school has opened for
It's fall term, entering on its sixth year,
under the most suspicious circumstances.
Oar entire board of teachers are retained
for another year. The attendance this
term, now amounts to over 400--the
greatest number we have had at any
tfuae since the school opened. One of
the most pleasing sights is to see the
crowds of happy faces that every morn
inc throng the corners leading to the
beautiful school building, representing
conditions in life, from the latest arriy-
ais from the Emerald Isle" to the
children of the most wealthy and intiu-
entail families in our village. We have
not family among us too good to send
their children to our public school.
Prof. Cilley is in his element. His
somewhat stern features are fairly ra-
dent. He seems to have taken a new
lease of life. Some eighty children pre-
scented themselves in the lowest primary
department on the first day Of school,
and almost seventy in the second prlma--
ry. ......-- s- .-..r
The old woman that lived III shoe
was nowhere when compared with Miss
Bond. She seemed to preside over the
eighty little ones with a serene calmhess
thai threw the hernism of Mother
Gooses melodies quite in the shade.
Mrs. Thatcher of the second primary,
with her great motherly heart, seemed
unwilling to spare any of her three
score and ten children for promotion.
The high school numbers siXty-five, and
a more studious and well-behaved set of
Young ladies and gentlemen we have
| rarely seen. To enter this department
one must pass about the same examina-
| ton as that required of those who teach
| in our State.
Our school is the pride of our village,
and long may it enjoy its present har-
mony and prosperity.
