Litchfeld is in trouble about the To-
cation Of the new town hall. We once
knew Of school district that quarreled
eight years about the location OF schoo
house and we do not know but that they
are quarreling yet In the mean time
the school was held in back kitchen
lOxl2 feet, with one door and one win
dow, which was seated With rougt
planks against the wall for thebig boy
and girls, and with narrow pHnks sup
ported by wooden peEsfsr legs for the
smaller fry. This is the only quarre
that we ever knew to save money Thi'
quarrel was most economical institu
ton, none but the cheapest teachers coult
be employed, school could only be held i,
summer season. a great saving Of wood
Besides which half the money that hat
not been raised for the building wa
saved in the pockets of the freeholder
Of the district, and the other half wa
saved in the pocket Of the Treasury i
it was not invested in real estate. W.
do not suppose our Litchfeld friends
will save money in that way. G. W
Fuller, agricultural editor ofthe Ledge,
is doing good work.
