sue"

BRATTLEBoRo. Rev. G. g. Harris,
rector of ST, Michael's (Episcopal)
Church, has resigned his charge.
The Phoenix says $4,000 pounds of
maple sugar we're forwarded from the ex.
press office in that place, during the six
days ending Wednesday of last week
Six tons were forwarded the Monday
morning previo' 8. II sells in Brattle-
boro village at s to II cents.
AT the annual school meeting it APP
peared that the expenses of runnil the
school the past year, including the build
ing of one primary school house was
nearly $4,000. The following officers
were chosen: Moderator, B. ID. Harris ;
clerk, G. II. Stevens collector, S. N.
Herlick treasurer, G. f. Thompson !;
auditor, j. w. Frost; prudential com
mittee, j. M. Tyler, S. M. Waite, Rev.
M. ii. Harris; assistant committee, b.
F. Bingham, Miss Rebecca Prouty. 1t
was voted to have 36 weeks school the
ensuing year, and to eceive tuition schol.
airs from out of town at SO per term in
the high school and Sc in the interme-
diate.
VIM. B. Conant of Brattleboro, has
made in the past thirty years over 600
violins, worth from $40 to $50 each.
John Brooks, whose injuries we men
toned last week; died Tuesday morning.
Brattleboro ought to be growing good
and moral very fast, judging by the re-
cruits to the rank and fileof the churches
A week ago the Episcopal Church here
received nine to its fellowship. Last
Sunday the Baptist Church gave the right
hand Of fellowship to Thirteen new mem
bers, and the Universalist Church to
eighteen, besides some to the other
churches. In view of these facts it is
worthy of note that our recent Fast was
better observed in our village than it has
been for many years; nearly all of the
stores were closed and remained so
through the day and evening, making
our streets present quite Sunday look,
while the services at the churches were
well patronized.
As an offset to this some rascal stole
the valuable horse and buggy of o. l.
Miner from the Town Hall she'd during
service hours Sunday evening, and up to
Tuesday no clue had been obtained of
either robber or property.
