From c. Cummings, district clerk. we
have received the following abstract of
the school census for the village district:
Jan. |, 1875, there were in the district
100 families and lO2 families having
children less than twenty years of age.
There were ct children less than five
five years Of age; IS between
FIVE and ten years of age 60 between
ten and fifteen; 81 between fifteen and
twenty. During the year 1874 there
were twenty births and twenty-five
deaths. The report shows a decrease in
some respects during the year. January
l, 1874 there were I66 families and
232 children against I59 families and
/ 2f6 children now. This decrease was
caused by the removal of several fami-
lies, some of them large. of persons in
the employ of the late c. u. Hubbard.
In 1873 there were 10 births and Is
deaths, gain of six against loss of
five last year. the excess of deaths over
! biTths.-ETDreSS

ghost. picked himself up. and ran a few
rods up the road. where he turned
around and saluted Fred with triumph
ant 'Cock-a-doo-dle-doo-o-o-O. then Fred
was surprised. He was mad, and, while
the temper was up. he started for the
fowl. But that ROSTERS neck had been
twisted just enough to put good speed
into his heels, and be shot out of sigh
in 10 time. and was absent until the
next Friday, looking up another tene

the rooster was. only to find that he haC
just emigrated to some other part of tht
barn yard. Losing. his patience, Silsb,
went for the fusee and in another min

Without loss Of time Silsby seized tn
