LUDLOW.

II lew Gays since youngstef, george
May, was playing with fire arms, when
the bursting of the gun badly damaged
his countenance and knocked out sever
al front teeth. 1t was very fortunate
that he did not lose his life.
The good people of this place are rejoic-
ing in the prospect of abundant crops. The
recent rains have improved the condition
of the grass one hundred per cent. The
hot weather of the past few days has
given the corn and other crops start
which promise we'll.
While baptism was being administered
near the bridge Sunday, several spectators
occupied positions high in the interior of
the bridge. Michael Tole, young man,
aged nineteen stepped upon brace
which gave away and precipitated him
to the ground, distance of about thirty
feet, breaking his wrist and causing
other injuries, but it is thought he will
recover.
Many residences are being built
There is quite prospect that two new
churches will be erected during the next
year. Union meetings are being held
each Sabbath afternoon alternately at
the different evangelical churches, in
preparation for the gospel celebration
which occurs July I'd, Sd and 4th. At
these meetings the churches are crowded.
Preparations are being made for three
thousand people. Nearly thirty churches
have been invited. All persons who at
tend this celebration will be carried for
half fare by the Central Vermont Rail-
road Company. Some of the most tai
ented speakers in the country will be
present to conduct the celebration
About one hundred additions have been
made to the different churches since May
! LIST.
The public schools of the village are
under the charge of Miss Effie NJ. Hem
enway and Miss Sarah Marshall. The
prudential committee are wise in their
management. Miss Hemenway is we'll
known as one of the most experienced
and efficient teachers in this part of the
state. Miss Marshall has been teaching
in these schools during the past five
years, and has made the primary school
model eff excellence, both in kind and
gentle discipline and thoroughinstruction.
The other schools throughout the town
are supplied with teachers from Black
River Academy. All these schools are
well conducted under the direction of DIR.
D. F. Coolidge our very efficient school
superintendent. Speaking of the Acad-
envy reminds us that Mr.. Herbert Til
den has been engaged as principal. Mr..
Tilden is graduate of Colby Univer-
sity so well known as one of the lead
ing colleges of the country. He is a
practical teacher, probably no better

cured. We learn that it is expected that
Miss Mary Pierce who is SO well known
by the students of this Academy as their
former preoeptress, will resume the duties
of that position at the opening of the
fall term. One hundred and sixty
students we're in attendance at this Acad-
envy during the spring term, and the
prospects for the fall term are very fiat
tering indeed. The course of study will
be well sustained and the present reputa'
ton of this school as one of the largest in
situations in the state will be maintained.
Six teachers we're employed in the school
during the past year. The Academy
has no primary department which is
great advantage. Dull times do not
affect Ludlow very much.
