CONTRACT LET. The Trustees, of the Auburn
School District, have let the contract for build
ing the new school house to Chas Hicks for
the sum Of $2,450. The main building. ac-
cording to the plans is to be "a by Sc, besides
front projection for stairs and ante-rooms of
IA by %. 1t will be two stories high, with two
fine school rooms on the ground floor and two
up stairs The plan proposes very fine build
ng when completed, which, though, will not
be right away, for lack of means. The contract
with Mr. Hicks, for the above sum. calls for the
completion of the outside of the whole building,
except the windows in the upper rooms, and the
corner blocks, and the complete furnishing Of
one room, and one ANTERIOR on the lower floor
This will afford sufficient room for the present
and the wallis for the other rooms will be there,
and can be finished at small cost, whenever
may need them. We believe the contract calls
for little more money than there is in the
treasury to the credit of this district for build
ing purposes, but we think that need create no
fears, as the people of Auburn will not let the
donation of two or three hundred dollars, in ad-
diton to their taxes, stand in the way OF having
good building and one THAI will be large
about it. We think the Trustees have done we'll

people.

A Brillia mt Record of Cures.

An American humorist tells us that it would
have been money in his pocket if he had been
born without stomach, and then proceeds
to figure up the cost of a chronic dyspepsia,
to which he is martyr, and which he says it
is impossible to cure. On this point Josh

mistaken. Unless his stomach differs from all
other dyspeptic stomachs, Hostetter's Bitters

The FOURTH AT AUBURN,-Though there were
no efforts made here to celebrate the nation S
birth day, until, as it were, the last moment, we
had very good time, and lively demonstra-
ton after all. As per announcement, large
conccurse of old and young gathered at the
court house, early in the day. where they were
treated to several we'll rendered patriotic songs.
intermixed with literary exercises from home
talent which on the whole proved very enjoy
able and interesting. After these exercises. n
lunch, consisting of all the delcacies of the
son, was spread, in the main hall and everybody
present invited to partake. The picnic beinp
over the children took themselves to the grove III
the lot, and INDUCED in various games, much to
their enjoyment, until late in the day. Beside
these exercises of the day. the ringing of the bell
at sunrsC, and the firing of salutes at both sun
rise and sunset, added no trifing part in enliv-
ening the day. For an impromptu celebration it
certainly did credit to. the town. and goes to
show what glorious time we could have, i. VT
would prepare for it.
