SUICIDE At MoNKToN.-James Butler
hung himself at Monkton on Wednesday
of last week. He was a single man and a
bout 3s years of age, industrious, and had
accumulated quite a property. He had
lately purchased farm, for which he was
partly in debt. Thinking he had paid more
for the farm than 1t is worth, he took the
mistake TO heart and became insane. He
was taken to Brattleboro, but returned in
few weeks somewhat improved. But he
soon became worse, and the final result of
his insanity was suicide.

OF tho clerks employees the headquarters of tho

OF tho Board, the Committee reported new scale OF
salaries, by which a reduction Of about onethrd the
average would be made This report however failed TO
give satisfaction, and it decided, motion OF Com

consider the question OF making changes in the salaries
paid by the Board the original motion being amended
TO cover the salaries Of the teachers in the public
