SALISBURY.

Soon after midnight, Thursday
morning, Mr. Augustus W. Daniels O.
Salisbury was awakened by noise like
the rustic Of papers, and thought it at
first to be mouse. He soon, however
concluded il to be burglar in the house
and he arose and made his way toward

cure window, made his way INTO the
kitchen, unfastened the door and wai
rummnging a small trunk in which Mr.
Daniels kept his valuable papers. There
were in the trunk money to the amount
of s160 which was taken, consisting oil
two twenty dollar bills, eight ten dollar
bills, twol6ve dollar bills, and the remain.
der in smaller bills. There were also
some other valuable papers taken. The
circumstances were such as to cast sus.

brought to Middlebury and lodged in jail
awaiting examination, which took place
before Justice Mcleod on Saturday.
The evidence was insufficient to hold him

SHOREHAM.

The principal matter Of interest in
this town, for the past week, has been tho
Teachers Institute for the county. Tn.
der the law as remodeled laat year insti.
tutes are held only in counties where re.
quests are preferred to the superintendent
Of education by certain number Of the
teachers Of the county. The requisite
number Of signatures was obtained and an
institute was organized at Shoreham last
week Tuesday nd Wednesday The class
numbered sixty.iour teachers, and good.
ly number of superintendeuts and other
friends of education were present. The
class exercises we're conducted by State
Superintendent Conant and his assistant
Mrs. Kyle of Essex junction There
was nothing noticeable in these cxerci.
ses They were very similar to those
held under Mr. Conant's predecessor,
though somo Of the teachers thought with
rather less force and practical success than
those conducted by DR.. French.
Tuesday evening Rev. Pres. Hubert, of
Middlebury College, delivered a very able
and interesting address on the nature Of
true education This address was receiv.
ed with considerable enthusiasm. Mrs.
Kylos papers on the 1.-THE Study of
American History" and on "Truthfulness"
we're received with great favor.
Wednesday evening Mr. Ciley, princi-
pal of the Brandon graded school, spoke
upon dispersion Of Thought" He re.
referred to the works of God as the ex.
preston of Divine thought, and language
as the expression of mans thought, Then
the speaker gave an earnest plea for the
study OF languages, especially the ancient
languages. His address was iul OF wise
ly practical suggestions, and his logic was
convincing.
At the close of the regular programme
of the institute town superintendent and
others we're invited to make remarks, and
several accepted the invitation, among
others Revs. 7. ii. Archibald of Corn
wall, Bacon of Shorehan, Winchester of
Bridport and Mr.. D, L. Taylor Of Add.
son.
A series of resolutions were read by
Mr.. D. e, Taylor, chairman of commit.
tee to draft them, thanking railroads,
speakers, hosts and all others from whom
favors had been received, besides saying
nice things for everybody in general, and
they were adopted.
The hospitality Of the Shoreham peo-
pie was unbounded and Judge Brookins,
upon whom had devolved the principal
labor appropriation and attending to the
wants and necessities of all concerned,
was adequate to the occasion. On the
whole the institute was pleasant and
profitable one.

able to furnish the meanest specimen Of

balance to be paid in two weeks or the

the calves free Of charge to the buyer.
The fortnight expired, the boy was una.

the fact should make no difference if he
would pay the pasturage, which he did,
and went after the balance due. When
he returned the calves had been sold and
driven off. Since the party is young
man and we are in hopes he will reform,
we refrain from giving his name.
