NJ. Ed,tor:-There is very little news
for me 10 wIite about in this locality; but
have been silent so long that deem II
better to write such news as l have, though
uninportant, rather than delay too long
for greater events TO occur. / have visited
nearly all the schools in town once, some
twice, and most Of them are doing WELL
In addition 10 the district schools, there are
two singing schools in town this winter,
one at the Centre and the other at tho west
village. Both schools are taught by +. II.
Cobb OF Putney, and number about forty
pupils each. There is considerable music
al talent IN our young folks, and, If well
cultivated We may have many good sing
ers. A series of religious meetings have
been held in each village during the
first hal. OF December. am not inform
ed as TO the results or these meetings def
inilely, but there are indications OF some
good.
Dec. 18th, the Baptist society of West
Dummerston held festival in the eve
ming at which a good number OF persons
were present. There were an abundance
of good things 10 eat many articles for
sale, "grab-rag" for the young folks and
the Older ones cf a speculative disposition,
some good singing, rhetorical exercises,
and good time generally.
One Of our seven-years old school boys
played lruant the other day, and instead Of
going into school and reading his primer,
he went over TO neighbor BIS, about two
miles from school, and called for Il horse
and sleigh that Mr.. b. was keeping for
man that worked for the boys grandfather,
saying that he had been sent for the team.
He Appeared Ia lie honest, aud the team
was soon ready. After ordering the robes
put in the sleigh, the young man got
aboard and started-not for grandpa's, az
he had designated, but for IA pleasure ride,
which he made at good speed in circuit
OF several miles about town. Amer the
departure Of young Gilpin, Mr. B. became
anxious, aud finally decided 10 take his
