Consolidation of School Districts i'm
Grafton,

Mr.. EDITOR: At a town meeting
held on the 10th inst, school district:
No. and seven were annexed to dis
trict No. 2, which is the village district
Some of the inhabitants of the frs
named districts are dissatisfied with this
arrangement and another town meeting
is called for the purpose Of restoring the
districts. To present few reasons show.
ing why this should not be done is the
object of this article. The school house
in district No. 3, is situated upon the
main travelled road nearly 81 miles
from the school house at Grafton vii
lage. The district consisted of fourteen
families; six Of these families live be
tween the school house and village
three near the school house and the re
naming five from one-fourth to three
tourths of mile beyond, making the
distance of some of the families about
three miles from the village.
The objections urged against CONSOLE
dation are these:
First, the breaking up of No. 8 in.
volving the necessity of the children Of
the district going to the village to school
will cause depreciation in the value OF
real estate in the vicinity of the school
house and in the more remote portions
Of that district, so that it will be next tc
impossible to dispose of farm in that
locality at any price.
Second, great injustice, it is claimed
will be done the small scholars in No. 8
for they, it is said, will be deprived Of
nearly all their school privileges on ac.
count of the inconvenience of getting
them to school.
These objections constitute the only
arguments as far as | know, against al.
lowing the districts to remain united as
at present. Those who urge the first OBJ.
lection, labor under a misconception
The value of real estate so far as it is in.
fiuenced by common schools, must de.
pend upon the efficiency of those schools
more than upon their locality. MANY
of our citizens have not the means of
educating their children except at the
common school. Then it follows that
the privileges provided at these schools
should be the very best possible that
no pains should be spared to render each
school effective, and to give each child
the full benefit thereof. How have these
conditions been filled in district No. 8 3?
What privileges have the children, large
or small, enjoyed in that district, and
what were the prospects for the future |?
For the past four years the district has
sustained but twenty weeks school dur
ing the year. The regular standard
prices paid for teaching, from which
there could be no variation, we're two
dollars per week for the summer terms
and three dollars per week for the win
ter terms, thus providing the very short
est terms which the law will allow, and
engaging the cheapest teachers possible.
The question has not been how can the
best schools be provided, but rather.
how can we get twenty weeks school
taught at the very cheapest rate so that
there will be the least tax TO pay at the
end of the year, The public opinion
of the district has required this and no
prudential committee for the past four
years has dared to run counter tn that

Abraham Lincoln,

Time passes rapidly. 1t is now elev-
en- years since Abraham Lincoln's death.
Then as now the 18th of April fell on
Friday. 1t was the fourth anniversary
of the surrender of Fort Sumter to the
rebels their first fatal success and a
large number of loyal citizens had gone
to rehoist, amid appropriate demonstra
tions, the same old flag which had been
sacredly preserved for the purpose. The
good president, after listening in cabinet
meeting to a personal report of Lees
surrender by Gen. Grant, and hearing
his son Roberts narrative of what he
had Just witnessed in Virginia of the last
great campaign of the war of the re-
bellion, concluded to crafty his wife
and some personal friends by taking an
evenings needed recreation. What hap
pened is burnt into the memory of every
patriotic citizen. The death-wound-
probably closing all consciousness and
all pain--was inflicted during the even
ing of the l4th, but life remained till 720
o'clock the next morning. Never will
there be a generation coming to the
years of understanding in this country
which will not review with deep interest
and with tears this simple and yet sub
lime tragedy. Why death should be
necessary to fullness of life, or martyr
dom should be the gateway of resurrec-
ton, we cannot tell, but we do know
that the ending no less than the living
of such life as that of Abraham Lin
coin, is to prove benefaction to his
country and the world as long as time
endures. Let us open our minds to
full share of its good influences, and
strive to impress them upon those who
are to come after us.-B0ston Journal.

A pleasant SURPRrsE.-Last Friday evening the
Hawaiian Guards 10 full uniform, headed by the
band marched quietly from the armory, and drew
up before the residence of their captain, Major
Gulick, on King St The Major and his wife, all un
conscious, were enjoying pleasant chat with some
visitors when they startled by sudden volley
OF musketry, followed by music from the band. The
appearance OF Lieutenant Wundenburg, however, OF
the door treasured them, and he informed the Ma.
jOr that his company had come TO pay him military
compliments, and wished to meet him and his wife
at the armory. to congratulate him on the new re.
lations he had assumed, and TO wish him and his
new made bride long and happy life. They came
out on to the stand by the fence when the company
presented arms and gave rousing cheer for "Major
Gulick and bride" The Guards then marched back
to the armory, and the members dispersed TO get
their ladies. By O'Clock gay and brilliant..cro
had assembled at the armory, which had been taste
fully decorated with flags and maile; aud our gal
liant soldier boys engaged 10 the mazes Of
the dance. The military appearance Of the ball, the
decorations OF flags and the handsome uniforms Of
the soldier boys formed quite novel and interest
