snnerintendent.s Meeting.

The superintendent of schools for
Windham county, assembled at Fayette-
vile March 2lst, at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, as
required by law, The Rev, F. W. Ohm
sted was chosen chairman and the Rev.
C. Burnham secretary,
A list of questions, for the written ex-
animation of teachers, was adopted and
also the standard of qualifications, viz.
An average of seventy-fve per cent on
the written examination, and no candi-
date to be licensed who falls below sixty
per cent in any subject The public ex'
animation of teachers is to be on Satur-
day, the 29th day of April, at 8 o'clock,
A. NJ, for the summer schools, and Nov.
25th for the winter schools. There was
some discussion on the propriety and inn
portsnce Of having county organlza-
ton to promote an increased interest in
our common schools. The superintend-
ents present, without dissenting voice,
recommended the calling of a conven-
ton of the experimenting committees,
at Fayetteville, April 18th, at o'clock
p. NJ, to form such an organization. The
design is to hold meetings in each town
in the county, read essays and discuss
questions relating to education and the
Improvement of our schools.
The experimenting committees of the
county will understand that they have a
special call to meet at Fayetteville April
18th, for the purpose above named.
Other friends of education will be wei
coined if they will favor US with their
presence. G. B.

In Their Own Hands.

The remedy for the nasty issues of
dirty presses is in the hands of the read
ers themselves. No press will print
them without a market for them and
there will be no market for them if there
is no demand for them, and there can be
no demand for them if nobody will read
them The reader is the supporter
whether he pays, borrows or steals them.
IF he pays for them he is the direct and
positive supporter Of the yilestuff which
he repels. He may lament, repudiate
and condemn the infamous assertions
and inuendoes put forth, as much and
as sharply as he pleases, for the sake of
the good opinion of others or from his
convictions of truth and duty, neverthe-
less all his indignant words go for moth
ing so long as he supports the press that
issues it by paying for the publication.
Ceasing to pay and to read are essential
to the verifcation of his decided oppo-
sition to such debauching matter in
print. So, also, if one practices borrow
ing, or in any way procuring copies Of
these foul things, for the qualification of
a purient curiosity, he is substantially a
supporter, albeit an indirect supporter
of corrupt press. This is the remedy :
Throw away the dirty thing; refuse to
touch it; look at it no more than you
would upon an indecent picture or an
offensive mass in reeking ditch. Let
it have no place in your family, and no
place in your hands or before your own
eyes that's the remedy. Try it,

Durham Cows With a Good Record.

Mr.. c. L. Webb, who has some very
excellent Durham COWS, of which we
have before had occasion TO notice, has
furnished us with their record for the
season Of 1875, and also samples of but
ter made from them this winter. The
butter, it is hardly necessary to add, is
not only very nice and sweet but yellow
and no coloring used. Many farmers
and Others will be interested in this rec
ord, and we give it below as follows;
During the season of 1875, MIXED
five cows, three of them three year old
heifers. The average time each cow was
MIXED, ending Jan. LIST 1876, was seven
months, twenty-five days. During twen-
ty-one days in August, made cheese
$3.50 lbs.) which leaves seven months,
four days that butter was made from the
milk. Amount of butter made, 1000
lbs, on 210. lbs. per COW. During this
time sold 211 qts milk and 20 qts cream,
besides milk and cream used in the fam
ilv. Raised seven calves which were
fed new milk until two weeks old, then
some skim milk added, which was in
creased from day to day until they were
four weeks old, then fed all skim milk.
Sold one calf eight months old for thir-
ty dollars the other six are equally as
good My cows are grade Durhams.
Feed at the barn twice day in summer
with green feed, mostly fodder corn,
(sweet CORN when the pasture fails so
that they shrink in milk; feed in fall
and winter the best early cut hay or
rowen and plenty of it. My cows are
in good flesh the year round feed no
grain except in the spring before they
60 out to pasture. Z. f. WEBB.

increase Gov. Cheney's vote little and
diminish the prohibitory vote so that
the republican majority for governor is

councillors, the democrats one and in the
third district there is no choice, the re-
publican candidate lacking "a votes Of
an election. The republican majorities
for senators range from SO to 1870. The

convention are not yet complete, but so

Attempted Escape of White.

Geo. White, as he has always been
known in this section, but Geo. Miles as
generally spoken of in the papers abroad,

trial, from Windsor. An attempted es-
cape the night before is thus reported in
the daily papers of Monday

Three keys were found in possession Of
one of the three hall boys, with which
the boy was trying two locks on Miles
cell. The third opened door into the
yard, where lumber used in rebuilding
the west wing was placed so as to scale
the wall.
The plan began to leak out some days
since, the boy confding the keys and
also certain notes from Miles giving di.
rections, to another prisoner, who in.

Loss OF Life and Much Damage.

The great snow storm of Saturday,
followed by rain, caused food and much
damage in some places, especially in
Massachusetts.
At Clinton. Mass, dam gave away,
several houses were swept off, besides a
large tannery and 400 feet of railroad
and several other mandatory establish
ments, comb factory, &c. Messengers
were sent ahead to warn people of the
coming flood. This was o'clock Sum
day afternoon.
In Worcester county eleven dams
we're swept away, four of them in Wor-
cester city. Damage in that vicinity is es-
timated at over 100000.
At Manchester, N. H., over 100 cell
lars in the city were filed with water.
Last accounts from Clinton reports
two lives lost, being two men who were
swept off in their houses, and the dam
age to property is estimated at over $500,
600.
At Taftville, CT, a dam was washed
away and five men who were trying tC
save it drowned.
AT Lawrence, Mass, some 5000 per
sons are idle this week in consequence o

The delegates to the National Conven-
ton thus far chosen. are, for the most part
uninstructed. Texas, Connecticut and
Rhode Island indicated no preference
whatever Wisconsin spoke in favor of
Blaine, but deemed it inexpedient to in
struct the delegates ; Indiana presented
Morton as its choice but gave no in
structions to its delegates; New York
presents Conkling in a like manner, but
the delegation is known to be divided in
its preferences. There is fair prospect of
a convention largely unpledged and I'M
instructed, and we hope to add an I'M
pledged Vermont delegation to it be-

Extreme Carelessness.

1t hardly seems credible that a man
not bent on suicide should smoke and
throw matches about powder mill but
it has been done once, and once too Of
ten. The fearful explosion of powder
mill in the suburbs of New York city,
ON Thursday of last week, is thus ex-
planned Three men were packing car.
tridges in the packing house One Of
them, named Delhi, pulled out a pipe,
lit the tobacco and threw the half burn
ed match on the bench where another
man named Heber, was sitting. A lit.
tie pile of powder that had been split
caught fire. Mr.. Huber saw the flash
and as it burst upward into his face hi
uttered cry of alarm, sprang for tn,
window near him, and got out of tn,
building in time to save himself. With
in three minutes slight explosion wa,
heard, then another and another, anC
then one that shook the buildings in tn,
neighborhOOd to the foundations. an,
blew seven workmen into a Kentuek,

A Washington letter says that the
place where Mr.. Blaine best makes
friends of visitors is at his own pleasant
home on Fourteenth street, where he en-
joys domestic life with his wife, their six
children and his clever relative, Miss
Mary A. Dodge, known better as Gail
Hamilton. He is a delightful chatter
before his own Preside, and has the rare
knack of switching off troublesome top
les into side-tracks, while he goes on
to talk about what has no personal OBJ
lection. Occasionally, when some friend
comes, he gives him dinner, and brings
seventeen congenial spirits around a
great circular table, the only ornament
on which is basket of flowers in the
centre, so that the guests can all see and
hear each other.
