The school in district No. s closed Feb

were above twelve years of age. Astrono-

first class in grammar would make bet

No great honor, perhaps, Is due to the
INSTRUMENTATION press of the country
for the freedom and persistence with which
charges of bribery and corruption, in con-
nection with Credit Mobiier investments,
etc., were urged against prominent candi-
dates of the Republican party during the
late Presidential canvass and yet to the
very doggedness and seeming audacity
with which these charges were iterated and
reiterated by the Democratic and Liberal
organs, in the face of repeated denial, do
we owe whatever of good has been derlv-
ed, or may hereafter be derived, from a
knowledge of the misdoings of our legis-
lators at Washington, and Of the corrupt
influences which are brought to bear upon
them by powerful corporations and indi-
viduals seeking their favor. Honest Re-
publicans have great cause for thankful
ness that all men are not embraced in their
ranks. Would that those ranks we're vast
ly thinner-thinner by as many voters as
there are rascals in them! But as such a
desirable state of things is not to be looked
for at present, since rascals naturally attach
themselves to the winning side, let us thank
goodness that we have an opposing ele-
ment in our politics, prompt to point out
our faults and strong enough 10 compel

Senator MorriPs agricultural college
bill, which was presented early in the ses-
sion, finally failed by the refusal of the
House to appoint committee of confer
ence on the measure. Between both bills
for the distribution of the Geneva award,
nothing was finally decided, and the con-
ference report adopted throws the whole
matter over to the next Congress. In the
meantime, the money received from Great
Britain il to be turned into the Treasury

bonds.
The postal appropriation bill, as 1t final
ly passed both houses, relieves railroad
companies from the necessity of executing
contracts for the performance of the postal
car service, and adopts a sliding scale of
payment for the cars, ranging from SIS TO
$50 per mile per annum. The subsidies in
the bill, which are the only ones granted
this session, are ss75, 900 to the Pacific Mail,
$3.50, 900 to Garrison's Brazil, and $4,000 to
Webb's Sandwich Island lines.

Many other measures of greater or less
interest, estimated at from three to FIVE
thousand in number, are left in the port

tween the two houses. Among these are
the soldiers bounty bill, the postal telegraph
bill, the Goat Island bill, and the bill for
refunding the cotton tax. A bill allowing
farmers TO retail leaf tobacco, which would
take s3, OO0, 900 from the treasury, was not
reached by the Senate. That nothing was
done to place the country on the road to

that is partially Offset by the failure of the

MIR. EDITOR: Will you allow me a
word about your Guiltord item of Feb. %
in reference to our school in Dist. No. 3?
Your correspondent SAYS that the school in
Dist No. closed last week, being the Sec
ond term taught here by Miss Emma
Hodge, to the entire satisfaction of the
whole dstrct--a task which many previ-
Gus teachers have labored in vain to ac-
complish. To the first part Of this item /
cheerfully subscribe. That Miss Hodge
ranks high as teacher no one interested
in her school will deny. She has few, if
any, superiors in the state and have oc-
casion to know that an effort has been
made to secure her services for another
year. But l am sorry that your correspon-
dent could not express his or her regards for
Miss Hodge without calling in question the
ability of previous teachers. Our school was
taught last year by two young ladies' of this
place. Both were accomplished teachers,
and so far have been able to learn they
gave good satisfaction and l am sure that
no one will feel more indignant than Miss
Hodge herself to know that the reputation
of these young ladies has been thus public
~ assailed. A.P.
Knox Bullock, one of the prominent
men of Guilford, and for some years first
selectman of The town, committed suicide
on Thursday, the 9th inst, by hanging
himself in his barn. He leaves a wife and
five children, all young. The children have
been sick for some weeks with scarlet few
er, and his consequent anxiety is supposed
TO have occasioned temporary alteration
ofmind. His age was 90 years. Besides
his farm and other property, he leaves a
life insurance policy of $1,000.
