 Our Schools Again.-Mr. Hiserodt and Mrs Ostrom reopened the schools in this village last Monday after brief vacation of only three weeks.

 Slight Mishap.-A misplaced switch ran the engine and tender of the evening train from Millerton last Thursday, off the rails at the State Line Junction. The train was just starting away from the station and had attained but little headway. and the locomotive had but just left the rails when it was stopped.

We are sorry to lose friend Sam, but there comes time in the lives of good boys when they must graduate, must step up higher, and of course Sam must "go up one."

Rain fel largely all day and all night, and Tuesday afternoon the storm changed to snow
 which seemed to come down almost ir
 a mass, covering the ground to the depth ot
 perhaps eight inches. Wednesday morn
 ing was clear again. and when the warn
 sun arose and looked upon the very dis
 courteous and unwelcome return of Olt

 some time since, the old chap modestly bu
 very quickly retired.
