the North Adams Neios. Mr.. Isaac w.
Durham, the able superintendent of our
schools during the past six years, has ac-
cepted o similar position In Bennington
and will enter upon his duties there about
the LIST OF January. In the organization
and management of the schools of
Adams, Mr.. Durham has shown marked
ability His perfect system has resulted
most successfully, and is well worthy of
imitation We congratulate the citizens
of Bennington upon their selection of
superintendent.
If this be really true that Mr..
Durham has been engaged TO superin-
tend the schools of this village, no
doubt our people may we'll be conqratu-
lated upon the successful effort Of the
trustees TO find an able man-one that
could fully fill the place left vacant by
MIR. Enos Gould, who, resigning, left for
the West to engage in the manufacturing
business Mr.. Durham, as a teacher and
manager OF schools, ranks among the very
best, and he will most satisfactorily fill the
place now being prepared for him in the
erection of one of the finest school build
ings in the State, which 1t is expected will
be completed by january 1, 1876.
The democrats and temperance men are
! finding it extremely difficult to obtain men
who are willing to accept nomination on
their tickets. The democrats came out
| with flying colors, parading a ticket headed
by the name of Rev. G. H. Hubbard, one
of Bennlngton's best republicans and most
| honorable men, for senator, who doubtless,
had he run, would haye been elected; and
they, knowing that unless they could Sc
cure some strong republican their ticket
| ,yptll mi ctop1 tI,a &C
chance for election, attempted to force the
nomination upon him, which did not work
| to their entire satisfaction, he respectfully
declining the nomination, which was
made without consulting his wishes in the
matter. The vacancy thus caused was
filled by the name of NJ. G. Remington of
this place. Their nominee for sheriff Amos
Aldrch of WOodford, also declined to rim,
| in place II whom the name of l.. Powers
of this place was substituted The name
Of G. ii. Simmons for judge of probate,
district of Bennington, was substituted for
that of T. II. Hall, nominee, who declined
to run.
The Go.ette last week prints the name of
Henry A Hartman for states attorney on
the temperance ticket, which is their third
nomination for that office, and the prospect
is that they will have to try the fourth.

The prospects of the republican ticket
beng elected Ivy an unusually large ma
jorily are good. Considerable clcclioneer-
ing is being done by the democrats but it
will amount 10 nothing as will I've proved al
the election week from Tuesday. ~
