extraordinary one. ....-...-
An exciting canine battle occurred
here lately. The CANNES maliciously
embraced. The owners grasped their
caudle extremities and jerked them into
the air. The bridge was intact A
neighbor sat upon the bridge, but sud-
denly left it and madIy yelled for six
shooter. The owners swore at the dogs
and then at each other, and finally at
everybody. Brick-bats, sheep-twine,
bed-cords and cold water were success
fully applied without success. The
owners thereupon dropped the dogs and
threatened to embrace each other. The
crowd closed round, cut the CANNES
apart, pacified the owners, and the ex-
hibition closed. ...+-.-. ......
The 0. G. Y. Association who re-
Gently held their semi-annual session
here, have, we notice, been severely crit
cised by..a West Rutlandcr in local
sheet. The critic thinks the members
INDUCED III too much recreation, thereby
neglecting their other duties The wri-
ter does not believe in furnishing sponge
cake, gratis, to simple pleasure seekers.
Neither do we, but we think wv. r."
does not give due credit to their mo-
tives. We are sure that useful infor-
nation, not idle qualification, prompted
many strangers to visit the quarries,
springs and lakes of the vicinity, that
the novel ideas inspired by wonderful
geological formations, mineral proper
ties Of water, and the aquatic and pisca-
torial advantages of lakes, might be
fruitful topics Of information to the
rising generation who's" best interests

freshmcnts, really, we did not believe
that any one bcgrudscd the teachers

and majesty of their presence was rs
far above mere gictuals aad drink "a the
sun is DER the earth. ...-........
Our Swetle population are on the

a post-boX convenience has been es-
tablished on Main street,opposite Morse's
drug store. ..... .....-.
An elm tree Of noble proportions
which has long graced the village green
stands stricken and leafess. ...
We had small slice of GLORIOUS
Fourth. Rockets buzzing through the
air, torpcdocs loud flare and powders
red glare, all combined to declare, to the
brave and the fair, that ''the Star\Span-
gled Banner forever shall wave DER the
land of the free and the home Of the
brave and many a knaye, too.
Glass bonnets will soon appear on
the street-what lady introduces the
novelty? FL. .......
Many youths are at present employ
ed in and about the quarries, learning
the use of the drill $ Necessity" we
are sure. in many cases, g has no law.
The heavy burdens of a numerous house
hold demand the regular assistance of as
many members as it is possible to en-
ploy, but when greed .toS aecnD.utqtton
prompts parent to deny his sons the
great advantages Of even a good COM
mon school education, it is to be feared
that the parents pecuniary gains are Sc
cured at fearful loss-the moral and
intellectual degradation of his offspring.
How many noble fathers and mothers
struggle on, day after day, amongst us,
against innumerable difficulties that their
children may grow TO be Intelligent, re-
spOnsible human beings These are not

but generous guardians of the honor and
respect of their race and country.
