Hon. Edward Consnt lecturcd here
Thursday evening upon the subject OF
schools and the school laws Of Vermont,
and very efIectualy exploded the prevalent
notion that the adoption of the town system
would necessary lead to concentration of
schools to the detrment of the rural dis.
tricts. lie maintained that experience
proved the town system to be the best and
most economical. The lecture was very
interesting and we'll received by the atten-
tive audience.
At the Quarterly Conference of the
Methodist Church held on Saturday, the
old board of stewards were reelected, after
which S. S. Wright declined to serve long

Sunday one person joined the church on
probation, one wss'baptized and the right
hand of fellowship was extended to two
persons and they were welcomed to a full
membership in the church. MEMO.

Frank Stowell tapped his sugar lot yes
terdsy, the sap run we'll, and last night he
was in high glee with the prospect of new
warm sugar; but alas for human hopes,
to-day (the 25th), he is disguised with the
weather, with Vermont, with every thing,
for it SHOWS, it rains, it halls, and he wishes
he hadn't.
While we are writing these items, the
news comes to US that on Wednesday, the
22d inst, Mr.. Leroy Hazleton of Andover,
was married to Miss Julia Rider, of Lon

AGATE.
wEATHKRsFIELD BOW.
We had quite little fire IN this vicinity
last Monday morning. The house and
some of the out buildings of s. M. Bron-
son caught fire and burned to the ground.
The fire is supposed TO have caught from a
defective flue in the chimney furniture
mostly saved. Mr.. Bronson is manufac-
turer Of mittens, gloves and slippers, and
had quite stock on hand, which was not
saved. Mr. b., has an insurance of
$1,000, on house and stock. This insurance
is in the Connecticut river mutual of Bel
lows Falls.
Mr.. l.. A. Pierce has returned to this
place, from Chicago, where he has been
at work for the past IS months.
Lenoard Rnessp, has sold the remainder
of his wool lot to parties in this town:
The storm of Monday night and Tuesday
was the most severe of the season. ~ inches
of snow fell.
WHITEHALL n. Y.
The Hall brothers, whose hotel at White
hall was recently destroyed by fire, have
decided to erect brick building to cover
the whole block. 1t is proposed to make
it a first-class edifce, with stores, etc., on
the first floor, and to have it fitted up with
all the modern improvements. 1t is pro-
posed to have the street Strengthened, aud
the new building set back further from the
street than the old one. This will add to
the good appearance of that portion of the
street.
The Graphite company, under the super
vision of Mr.. Cooper of Ticonderoga. have
purchased all the mineral found on the
premises of John A. Easton at Putnam.
They have put on gang of men to mine
for black lead. 1t is reported a valuable
and extensive vein has been found. This
company first commenced mining at Put
nam 10 years ago, erecting a large steam
crushing mill, but not meeting with salts
factory returns operations were discon-
tinued and the works allowed to 60 down.
Recent examination, however, has con-
WINGED the company they have formerly
worked only the out-crossings of the main
deposit, and hence this renewed effort.
PORT HENRY.
An old gentleman, apparently 65 or 70
years old, calling himself Rev. John A.
Thompson, put IN an appearance at Port
Henry on Sunday, March TO- He first
called upon Father Harvey, representing
himself 10 be Catholic priest, and, fail
ing to get any favor there. he wended his
way to the parsonage of Rev. Mr. Wood
bridge, the Episcopal clergyman. He OBJ
tanned admttance to the church, and an
noyed both the minister and congregation

was suffering from alteration of the mind,
and he was accordingly placed in oonfne-
ment No clue as to where he came from,
or who he is, has as yet been obtained.
