Miss Charlotte Ladd and Miss Cora Dor
sey, pupils in the public school, aged res
pectively IA years, were examined by Mr.
r. D. King at the public examination of
school teachers, Miss Ladd answered all
the questions correctly and was marked
100. Miss Dorsey answered correctly all
but one half of one question, and was
marked 09a. Such girls are worth 100
cents on the dollar, and such an examina-
ton speaks volumes in praise of their
teacher, Miss Julia Sherman.
Sunday was cold, stormy day, or ac-
count OF the storm. but few people attend
ed church. The Methodists held no SER
vice, but attended at the Congregational
church. The Rev. Mr. Hougbton deliver
ed an eloquent discourse upon the subject
Man as mediator-founded upon the text
Jesus gave to his disciples, and the disci-
pies to the multitude" Those who attend
ed enjoyed a feast and were richly paid for
turning out in the storm.
1t is stated in some of the papers that
last season, ''snow came ON the 18th of
November and remained on the ground
until spring." We had no snow in this
part OF Rutland county until the Goth of
November, when ii snwed all day, enough
to make good sleighing, and this snow did
not all go Off until spring Our first snow
came on the 18th this year, ten days earlier
than last season. Ell. Il.

The Gilt-Edge cheese factory, run BY Il.
Bonneville, closed Friday, Nov. 18th. The
other factories in town are all closed.
Mr.. s. W. Pike, agent for THE GLOBE,
is in town, canvassing for subscribers, aud
meets with good success. THE GLOBE is
decidedly the best paper printed in the
state, and no family should be without it.
About six inches of snow fell here on
Wednesday, the 10th inst, and the jung
ling of sleigh bells for the past two days
has reminded US very strongly of winter.
But the opportunity offered for sleigh
ride" the first of the season, was of short
duration, fer already the snow has disap-
peared IN many places and the sleighing is
'nearly spoiled."a BaE
p. Holton, ESQ.,, the popular and enter
prising merchant at the corners, has
sold out his stock of goods and real
estate to William Otis and son for sum of
$4,000. for the purpose of settling his
accounts, preparatory to leaving town.
His accounts are estimated at about $10,-
600, the settlement Of which will require
several months time. Mr.. Holton settled
here in the mercantile business in 1856,
since which time he has been successfully
engaged in trade. Commencing with but
little or no capital, he has by industry and
close attention to business succeeded in ac-
curing handsome property, and for
nineteen years bis store has been the center
of trade for large territory, always being
well stocked and many will regret his de-
cision to sell out. William f. Otis, jr., the
managing member of the new firm OF Otis
Il Son, is young man of good ability, ac-
tive and enterprizlng, add will no doubt be
successful in his new vocation. We wish
the new firm success and long career OF
prosperity. J''o' W.
WHITEHALL.
A man named Timothy, alias Pink Nc.
Carthy. has been arrested for setting the
fire last Monday. The day after the con-
flagration, while standing in the rum he
remarked II made u clean sweep OF 1t,
didn't L? 1t takes me to warm them up.
He had considerable sum of money in his
possession, and confessed that he had re-
ceived $50 for his work. 1t is said that he
entered the Independent engine house on
Sunday and begged to be allowed to re-
main by the stove. This gave him chance
to disable the steamer. When asked why
he did so he replied 81 just took out
few of the pins and threw them into the
ash pan, where the boys could easily have
found them if they had looked" 1t is con-
sidered certain, IN whitehall, that he is the
incendiary but If be Is, he is more frank
about it than iecendlaries commonly are.
