SAXToNs RIVER.

ZANE left several legaeies to benevolent
institution, aud among them one to the
Vermont Academy at Saxtons River
The collector of district Nos. 10 and
3 has issued notice that the district
must have the money to pay school ex.
penses by Aug. 10th and that he will be
at III. G. Johnson's store on July ODD
and oath. After such notice the delin-
quents ought not to "gro,cl if they are
obliged to pay fees for collection if they
don't come to time"
The brick for the new Academy build
ings are to be made at Saxtons River.
and the work Of manufacture it is ex-
pected will begin this week. The idea
of making the brick on the ground
where they are to be used is a good one,
thereby making work for home people,
and in the present times will no doubt
be appreciated.
Mr.. Editor: Our village is not often
favored with musical entertainment of
a high order. Last Wednesday eve
ming, however, under the direction of
Mr. H II. Kimball, concert was Civ
en- in the Congregational church with
marked success. Mr. Kimball was as
sisted by such talent as our former citi-
zens Mr.. A. r. Sabin and lady of Chi
cago, Miss Ranney of Bennington, Miss
Wiley of Weston, Miss Lane of West
Minister Mrs. L. G. Hubbard, Miss Es-
telle Kimball and other soloists and Mr..
Foster KimbN yiolinist, Of this place,
also select chorus of ladies and
gentlemen representing our best musical
talent and culture. The programme
included selections from instrumental
compositions, sentimental and pathetic
ballads, and classic and oratorio cho-
ruses. Commentator of concerts is
so usual as to be thought almost mat
ter of course but it is due to the per-
formers on this occasion to say that their
efforts were most pleasing to the full au-
dience, and have since called forth al
most unqualified praise from competent
musical non-residents who attended.
The first term of our new school ar
rangement closed on Friday last. Miss
Annie Wiley of Weston and Miss Emo
gene NJ. Austin of Athens, have taught
respectively the Primary and the Inter
mediate departments. Our citizens are
congratulating themselves that teachers
whose character, attainments, and sue
cess have given such universal satisfac-
ton, could be obtained at the beginning
of an enterprise so important as our
school movement has been and promis-
es still to be- Our average attendance
has been decidedly larger than for sew
eral years before and this can be ex-
planned only by the increased interest
our citizens have in education and by the
existence of schools which, all things con-
sidered, must be pronounced superior.
We shall hope that those ladies will hold
the same positions among us next term.

THE CONCERT.
The concert given in the Congrega-
tional church on Wednesday evening of
last week was, as might have been ex-
pected, complete success. The house
was crowded, with as fine an audience
as could be wished for.
Where everything was so perfect it is
almost impossible to particularize. We
however, cannot forbear to notice the
splendid rendering of an Italian song
by Miss Estelle Kimball, although always
welcome, on this occasion she was dou-
bly, so, and held the audience breathless
with delight. Later in the evening she
appeared in another song, and was re-
ceived with unbounded pleasure and
immense applause, Mr.. and Mrs. A. r.
Sabin of Chicago, sung several duets.
Their appearance was the signal for I'M
eaualed enthusiasm their duets were
