to put him on the ticket but as they in

THE FALL TERN OF SCHOOL
closed more than week ago /; and on &C
count of i'll health, Mr.. Bickford sent his
resignation in to the Beard Of Education.
His SUCCESSOR has not yet been engaged.
Mr.. Bickford has been in this school for
three years, and he leaves it in good con-
,dition. When he began, there were but
three or four in the school that know any
thing Of grammar now there are sixty,
aud some Of the small boys can ''knock
the socks" off of some of our Hon. Ex Rep
resentatives. Mr.. Bickford has begun and
taken. classes through history, higher
arithmetio and; algebrs, and had . class in
physical geography, (the only: one in tho
county, except, possibly, at: Monticello),
and geometry, which classes would do hon
or to any school IN the State. On the last
day Of school the pupils we're, much Affect
I'd, and to use the thrilling lines Of DR..
Natts) they ''shed whole pints Of bitter
tser.; And'vipsdsthsm With their sleeves"
Seriously, never saw s teacher who was
80 thoroughly in sympathy with his pupils,
Ard Who xes 90 universally loved and re-
spseis1 y shsn..or only hope vs.n.y get
. bstters o.s toesthss winter sssru, though
whether thefS Is I5uioch al one in the State
is matte<< ef doubt, II: IN aorry to say
that Miss Rankin, Of 81. Peter, who taught
tho primary room, was compelled to 60
back to St. Peter on account Of previous
engagements. She succeeded we'll and
gave excellent satisfaction, though it is a
hard school to teach, and laid the founda-
ton for q better winter school in that de-
partment than We have had for some time.
1t is to be hoped that her successor will be
able to carry on the work she has begun.
The Board of Education will hold meet
ing this week and will probably then en-
gage teachers for both rooms for the win
ter term. 80 sv.
Il. B. Morrison is going to build two
dwelling houses and q store this winter !;
tho contract is let to Ed Hibbard. T. C.
Porter's splendid residence is about finish
ed and they will probably get moved in in
time for Thanksgiving. Isaid "splendid,"
not because Of the size, but because Of
the excellent work that was put in it.
Messrs: Alexander, Blake 4 Brakeman, had
the contract for the wood work, and John
Conlif for the mason work..
oTHERwIsE ENGAGED.
Samuel whitfdg,, u, has concluded not
to 60 to St. Paul this winter, for sixty
days. He has other business to look after.
Neither will friend Rigby, Of the steatns
county side, attend the Legislature, though
he had close call, and it would have been
closer if his townsmen had not been salts
fed that it was q foregone conclusion that
he should 60, and so were careless about
voting for be had friends enough in his
town who did not vote to have turned the
scale.
KNOW Mr.. MARTIN BEST
are the best pleased at his election for he
is not party puppet, to jump, when the
wires are pulled; and though: not much of
a;''pabiic talkist,' yet it is I big job to
''pull WOO" over his eyes: I doubt not
his District will be as we'll pleased with his
future course as they are with the past.
Had the voters taken the same course on
the Commissioner and
ELECTED BEN. w1NsLow,
they might have put money in their pur-
ses. Three years will give them time to
repent. Hammered may, however, be, the
opposite to the IrishmanSz pig. John
Moore met him (the 1rishmau) one day
and said, "Well, Dennis, How much did
your pig weigh r.: ':''faith,, John,' said
Dennis, che didn't weigh as much as
Thought he, xud an be jabers, niver
thought he wud." SO Hammered may do
better than We thought he would, and I'll
he does) We always thought hee 'wou1a. -
