THE BEST PRESENT FOR A
CHRISTMAS GIFT
IS A
WHEELER d. WILSON
Family Sewing Machine.

The reputation of this Machine stands so high
| in all parts of the world as scarcely to need
comment.
They have been awarded tho highest premi-
ums in every important contest among Sewing
Machines in this country and in Europe.
They do all kinds of family work, from the
heaviest beaver and felt to the finest silks, that
other machines will not stitch.
They work easily, rapidly, noiselcssly, and
| arc not liable to get out of order.
Washington, q. c., April 80, 1872
Having bought and used four of your Wheel
er & Wilson Sewing Machines for the last sew
enteen years in my family, and to the entire
satisfaction and pleasure of every men Der there,
of, we therefore cordially unite, from sense of
duty, in recommending it to the public gencr-
ally as being the best, the easiest running, most
desirable and most durable Sewing Machine we
have ever known.
My two little daughters when they wore
SO small that their feet, when sitting on u chair,
would not reach the treadle, and were conse
quently obliged to stand on one foot and run
the machine with the other which they could
and did do right along, with perfect ease and
comfort. Both of them to. day own one, and to
part with them would be like parting with d
dear friend
bought my Wheeler s. Wilson seventeen
years ago. and during that time it has never
needed the least repairs, and is just as good to-
day, to all appearances, as it was when I first
bought it.
Respectfully yours,

NOsf Of GrUsied Schools im VI.

Considerable has been said during
The winter concerning the enormous
taxes we have to pay for the support
OF our Union School. In your issue
of Feb. 2Sth we are told that the
average yearly tax since our Union
School commenced running has been
only Il small fraction over 30 per
cent.
IL may comfort us TO compare our
taxation for the support of schools
with that of several Of the large
villages in the State.
The rate of taxation for school
purposes in twenty of the large
towns m the State during the past
year is rs follows:
Mddlcbury, 90 percent; Vergen,
mes, 100; Manchester, 81; st Johns,
bury, GO; Waterbury, GS; Grafton,
30; Brattleboro, 10; Chester, 70;
Springfield, 40; Burlington, ~ !;
Morris,own, 100; Newport. 40 !;
Rutland, 60; Mortified, 20; Rock.
ingham, 60; Bethel, 100; Ludlow,
80; Windsor, 40; Bennington, 20;
st. Adams, 40.
The average rate per cent. in these
towns Is 703. In many of these
towns the tax has been nearly as
large III years past, and in some of
them, a larger tax will probably be
raised for the next School year.
From the last report of the Sec.
Rotary Of the State Board Of Edu.
cation We gather some other facts
that bear upon this same question.
For the school year ISL iour. titths
Of the towns in the State reply to
the following question What is
the lowest rate per cent. raised on
the Grand List by any district in
town for the support OF schools!
"What is the highest estimate =
Ia reply to the first question 10
towns report the lowest tax as 30
per cent. and from that TO 10, -
towns report the lowest tax as 40
and upwards t. 80: 1 towus report
the lowest tax 80; > towns report
1t GO; ! town reports 20; and /
town 80.
This is the lolccSt tax raised by
any district in these several towns,
while in ether districts the tax is
much more, sometimes 2O0,and even
800 per cent.
In reply to the second question,
wha, is the highest tax paid 10y any
district? % towns report 100 and
upwards to 100; 3 towns report l5O
and upwards % 200; > towns report
. 60; town 30; . towns 800; and
/ town $50.
Ia Orange Co. only / towns ont
Of tLc /, reported, six of those
towns paid in some districts a tax
OF 20 per cent, The lowest tax in
Topsham that year was 10 per cent
the highest 100.
From The same report We learn
that the ycyU cost OF schools in
this county for the same schoo,
year was less than that OF any 9th
er county in the State, with one eX.
ception. The ,reckiy cost OF schools
less than in the other couatieS, with !
two exceptions. Ia those cases it
was less then . Per cent. greater,
while it Was - per ceAt. less than |
in Chitcndcn and Rutland c0uu |
