Our winter schools are beginning
nlrasantly. In District No. 5 the school
hos been in session one week. There is
not a large number of pupils in attend
qncc, but the term promises to be
very profitable one. They are so fortu-
nate as 10 have secured the services of
Miss H. NJ. Harrington as teacher The
Nechanicsville school commenced yester-
day, under very favorable circumstances.
We understand that the merchants
n Nechanicsville and Tarbellvillo have
returned from market, with goOdly va
riety of the most desirable goods, and
We have no doubt that they will have d
liberal patronage. s. ii. l.. has sold a
large number of "Cape Cod turkies, y

BRANDON. a..
On Friday evening, during the lee
ture Of Hon. Mr.. Parsons in our village,
two hurglaries were committed one at
the house of J. S. CilleY, Principal of
our graded school, and the other at the
house of Joab Smith, ESQ.,, both fami-
lies being at the lecture At Mr.. Cilley's
the thieves secured about seven dollars
in money, contained in Mrs. Cilly's
purse, and a valuable gold watch and
chain belonging to Miss Champlin,
teacher in the grammar school depart
ment. The teachers had all been paid
off during the day, and 1t was doubtless
The purpose of the burglars to secure
the money paid to Mr.. Cilley and Miss
Champlin, who both had their money in
their pockets, amounting to some seven
hundred dollars. Any scamp who will
deliberately plot to rob school teachers
Of their earnings Especially school
mams,) ought to be slightly hung. At
Mr.. Smiths a gold watch was taken,
and some other valuables. There have
been, also, several instances of thieving,
such as stealing clothes from lines,
etc. Our citizens are on the alert, hop
ing to secure a candidate or two tor
Windsor.
That venerable individual, the OLD
st inhabitant, never saw so cold a
Thanksgiving. Last eve at 10 the mer-
cury stood 5 deg. below, at 2 a. m. 10
below, and a. zero at sunrise this morn morn
ing.
Mr.. Parsons lecture on Friday eve
was well received by fill house. ms
lecture has already been so lily reported
that shall say nothing of 1t.
Already we have had numerous SD
plications from out of town for seats for
Coughs lecture on Friday, Dec. 9th.
The prospects are that there will be an
awful strain on " that ar old Congre-
gational Church on that occasion.

MENDoS.
Some days ago the Globe alluded 10
10 Mendon as having reputation for
law suits. A correspondent denies this
with much warmth, alleging that only
tour trials have been held there in the
past year, and challenging comparison
with any other town Ia the county.

-Messrs. Becky & Adams of Chat
ham Four Corners, who own and are
running the largest furnace in the United
States, there, are pushing along their
coaling business in this place with
vigor. Indeed the coal they obtain from
their kilns in Woodford supplies their
furnaces amply. Thus it will be seen
that Woodford enterprises begin to show
themselves in the light Cf the world, and
