from one to twenty years of age, and on |
the same street are three American fam. |
lilies with only three children in them, all |
told. These localities do something toward |
filling up our district school house.
A number of unruly boys were amusing
themselves chasing two poor old horses
around the other day. Finally one of the
old plugs thought that forbearance ceased
any longer to be virtue, SO he lifted his
hind feet leaving the print OF his toe cork
just over the lett eye of one of the lads.
Besides being woefully surprised, he had
the pleasure of seeing stars two or three
minutes. Since that unlucky bit, he has
been around taking one-eyed view of
of things.
Three prominent Castleton men, whose
total weight is triflc less than eight hum
bred pounds, rode from the Sanford house
to the railroad station one day last week.
They are not prominent in anything but
size, although one of them would like to
represent the town, provided his fellow
townsmen considered him man enough for
the place.

Monday two parties were arrested for the
act, and an examination held before JUS
tice Knapp but was adjourned till Thurs
day. A large number of students and
clerks were summoned and examined on
Monday but with no result. There was
not the slightest ground of suspicion
against the students, but a bright idea
must have struck some one that every dep

| students, and that an examination would
bring out something. A little thought
would have told them that this is not the
character of students tricks. and little in
| quiry would have discovered the fact that
nearly every student summoned was out of
town Saturday night and Sunday. The
students are indignant at what they deem
bungling piece of work.

| / was somewhat amused in attending,
last week, the exercises of the seminary at
Castleton, on listening to the beautiful adj
dress of DIR. Magee. He took occasion to
speak of the rising influence of woman
caused by the improved facilities for her
education. He spoke of the benefits that
would accrue to the world by giving wo-
man more exalted position. In fact he
talked just as Harvey Howe thinks, and
one veteran in the audience, who carries
the scars of thousand battles, who is a
terrible hater of strong minded women,
was 30 carried away with the doctors
logic and eloquence that his feet went like
a fulling mill on the floor, his hands would
be attracted then repealed, and his mouth
was stretched from ear to ear. / could
