FaIls Village.
 The following scholars in the town of Canaan were neither absent or .tardy dur ing the summer term. In No. 3, Samuel Page, Mabel Page in No. 8, Annie Casey. Katie Casey; in No. 4. Nellie Gillette. Birdie Phillips; in No. .@7, Hattie Willard, Frank Morse; in No. g, Fannie Hinman and Frank Dean. The following did not miss in spelling during the summer term :. in No. ?, Lucy Ensign; in No. 8, Levi
 Gauser; in No. 5, Minnie Cleaveland; in No. 6, Belle Holcomb, Darwin Conwell, Amos Conwell in No. 9, Fannie Hinman and Ida Howe. A few facts from the annual report of the acting school visitor may not be amiss for publication. Of 294 different scholars l3 have been connected with the schools less than two weeks each.
 The efforts which have been made to pro- mote constancY and punctuality of atten- dance, have had the effect to increase somewhat the average attendance and to greatly diminish the tardy marks. The names of scholars who were neither absent or tardy, and also of those perfect in spelling ln the different terms, were publish ed in the CONN. WESTERN NEWS. The average attendance during the summer tenn at all the schools, was sixty four per cent of the number registered, against fifty-six and half per scent in the summer term of 1874. The average attendance for the year has been forty five per cent of the whole number of scholars. Two scholars in all the schools have not been absent or tardy during the year, namely, Nellie Gillette and Birdie Phillips, in No. 4. Two have not missed in spelling either iterm in No. 9, Lucy Ensign. and in No. g, Fannie Hin man. On the whole there has been progress ln the schools. With a better method in providing teachers, and with greater interets on the part of parents the progress might Just as well have ibeen greater. Why do not parents visit the places where operate tl ose quiet but controlling influences which shape the future course and success of their childrenp Why do they not help the teacher in work which is unmeasurably more theirs. aud more for their interest and happi- ness than it can possibly be for the teacher, A wise arrangement of schools, with an appropriate school pulling for Nos and 10, which might also accommodate the two districts west of the river, a school crown ing this system for the hen.i lit of the more advanced scholars thruugnout the town, to which pupils shall be admitted by examina- tlon, would haYe.~an elevating influence upon the cause of education among us. This would be strt at the right point to improve our state of society, our business Interests, our entire status as a community. With superior schools, a place in many respects so attractive for residence as ours, would be sure to call in families of kind that it is an object for any town to number among ,<., is inhabitants. This matter of schools win have to be taken up sooner or later. There isfno other way unless we choose to be behind all our neighbors, unless we covet the background and backwoods of enlightenment for our heritage. R

there, they would not care to dispense
 with. Friend Dresser observes we'll the

 for his office, with that of Superintendent
 Thompson, is located immediately over the
 immense steam boilers of the mill, and
 when Gabriel sounds his trumpet, if be cant

 8 chance of getting hoist from the boiler.
 '- The other Salisbury people at this
 Poquonncck mill are MT. John Holder, who is employed as general man" about the mill, his skill in any department of the business rendering him useful anywhere. Mir. F. Brasie is the engineer, and last, but by no means least, IS "French Jim," who is also general in the establishment.
 We'll not say that "Jim" is the only man in the factory" When we found him the other day, he was engaged ln describing circle>with crank attached to an elongated pulley or wheel. on which was suspended long piece of cloth, one end of which was. chasing the other through B coloring solution in deep vat or tank. '' Jim" has been at these mills but few weeks, yet we presume his scientific assis- tance is highly prized by the company. He says he had nc trouble in finding the place when he journeyed thence from Salisbury, as he asked almost everybody he met, the way to " Buckanick" .... i
 We are especially indebted to MT. Dresser, Supt. Thompson, Supt, Metcalf md others for courtesies extended to us on his our first visit to the woolen mills of Poquonnock.l ~

 The Honorable Shaler Trobridge of Sheffield, condescended to call on the citizens of Great Burlington few days since, and being man of an ingenius turn of mind he soon learned where some Old Rye or Apple Jack could be got, and being in thirsty mood he concluded that he would wet his whistle and see If there was not some music in the old whistle yet. So after imbibing several times he found that he was very wealthy owning large share of the real estate in Southern Berk- shire, and his pockets were, lined with Saw Bucks" as he called them, (ten dollar green backs) and Ithought some of buying the small town of Great Barring ton, 30 he could have matters all his own way. But the Apple Jack increased the steam in Shaler's boiler wonderfully. and strange enough, the more steam he had the less locomotion, and he finally thought as he owned the town, he was entitled to the whole side walk on both sides of the street but unfortunately for Shaler, policeman escorted him up to hotel on Rosseter street, near the railroad track and gave him room for the night, the room being one where the joiner work in it's construction was done by the blacksmith. Shaler was quite in dignant, said he preferred stopping at the Berkshire House, but finally submit ted to hisfate manfully.
