fore passing through the mails at one

is now one cent for one ounce, or fraction
thereof This includes transient newspa.
pers, merchandise etc.
Quite a number Of the MiddleSury la
dies attended the Vergennes ladies tenn
perance meeting, last Wednesday. 1t is
hoped they became imbucd with the spirit
Of temperance labor, if they didn't have
it before, sufficiently to form a similar or
ganization here.
Prof II. NJ. Seely will deliver a
lecture in the Graded School course on
Monday evening next March ODD subject:
"Souring and Moulding" BY those at
tending all the lectures we have had this
season, this course has come to be regardH
ed as quite as interesting and altogether
more valuable than any other.
The school superintendent OF Adj
son County, in common with those Of other
counties, are required by law TO meet, to.
day, for the purpose Of agreeing upon a
set Of questions to be used throughout the
county in the written examination of
teachers and to fix the standard Of quail
fication of tho teachers for the ensuing
year. We suppose arrangements have
been made for such meeting in this
place to- day.
oliver johnson, managing editor Of
the Christian Union, who was called as
witness in the Beecher trial, Tuesday,
stated that he was born in Vermont, that
he lived in Middlebury some years and
was editor of the Free Press. and that
while here he was accommodated from
tho Congregational church. AS the re-
suit has proved, the action of the Mid
dlebury Congregational church has GER
tainly been justified.
-ln our report Of town officers there
were errors in some OF the names, result
ing oftentimes from the careessness of
writers in the preparation Of manuscript.
All proper names should be written with
great care as publishers cannot verify
their correctness by any consideration OF
the meaning. We regret these errors but
cannot reinsert the whole report for the
purpose Of correcting typographical
error which does not lead TO mistake as
10 the meaning.
The Choral Society is coming.to the
front once more. Resting on its arms,
for two months it gave place TO other in-
terests But the grand revelle has been
sounded. The ranks are filled, For.
ward is the order, and they have taken
up their line Of march once more, which
lies through tangled growth known as
"Mozarts Mass" But their confidence
in the invincible Iligley, and his aid de-
camp Bowman, is unboundcd, which
makes the end as sure to them as the be-
ginning. The success attending this
march thus far. inspires in them the hope
OF an early triumph, and a grand review
may be expected, with programme
which will give no disappointment to any
intelligent audience Regular rehearsals
Tuesday evenings.
