department and easy manners, our school
has made rapid progress in the musical art,
as well as social improvement
The school closed Thursday and Friday
nights, March I'd and Sd insts., with a con-
vention and concert, conducted by Mr..
Smith, and assisted by Mrs. j. II. Spaul-
ding and Miss Abbie w. Stevens, pianists.
The exercises were all very interesting and
praiseworthy, developing thorough drill
and good cultivation of voice. Miss Hattie
M. Edison of Rutland, and the quartette
from Pittsford, Mrs. Alice M. Andrews
soprano, Miss Cora ID. Hall alto, Dan d.
Burditt tenor, and r. g. Smith basso, added
much to the interest of the occasion. We
would like to give the entire programme,
but it is too lengthy to notice in full,
though we wish to mention some few
pieces which were finely executed by the
members of Mr.. Smiths class. The an
them, "Come unto me all ye that labor"
solo by Miss Grace Estabrooks, also the
"Pilgrim Fathers" solo by Miss May l.
Ranney, were rendered with voices which
give promise of possessing rare merit and
should judge were well received and appre-
cisted by the audience, by the loud encore
which they received. Also, the anthem
go Lord in mercy hear us" solo, by Mrs.
A. L. Ranney, was well sustained though
superior singer, we think We never heard
her do better. The bass solo by Mr.. Ira
Holt, jr , in the anthem SIS it all of life to
| live" deserves special mention. The
chorus through the entire programme was
rendered in very acceptable manner and
well sustained by heavy bass,
showed conslusiyelv that our money
has not been paid for naught, for
the services of Mr.. Smith the past winter.
The piano Duet by Misses May l. Ranney
and Nellie Vose was well executed, pupils
of Mrs. ]. II. Spaulding who presided at

AS Babcock's defender and Rutland's
postmaster and one of BelkDap's grave
stone contractors, constituting majority
of the republican town committee, seem
very anxious that the majority of the re-
publicans of Rutland shall not be advised
of the calling of a primary meeting to elect
delegates to the republican state conven-
ton, we would suggest that this office
holders and government contractors eau
Gus might select list of delegates out of
the same kind Of material. Surely these
gravestone contractors and federal officials
are numerous enough for the emergency,
and it would be so satisfactory to Babcock
and Belknap! That the call was only
published in the Babcock organ is signif-
cant, certainly, of their desires. Give 'em
rope enough and they will hang themselves.

debtedness since last year $50, 604 "a; and
now owe sci ,566.2l more than the entire
county, with the exception of the three
towns named, did last year. The town of
Stockbrldge now owes two thousand dol

Norwich, Pomfret, Reading, Rochester

the Indebtedness of Windsor county, ex-

have present Indebtedness of nearly four

The increase, since last year, has been
some seventy-four per cent of the grand |

A contemporary remarks: 1.-THE expenses
SC of roads and bridges in the town of Ply
mouth, for the past year, are enormous
($1,250 49, compared with the year end
" ing March 2, 1875, when it amounted to
" $511.75, during which year it was as
" difficult keeping the road in winter as it
" was the past year" An enormous in
crease surely, and yet this intelligent jour
nal, although published in town. has not
discovered that the expenses of the town of
Rutland for highways and bridges for the
past year were $s,79O.s6, and that for the
year ending in February 1875, they were
only $2,03023. Perhaps, however, this
increase was not enormous" or, possibly,
1t may require little more courage to CON-
ment on matters occurring In Rutland than
in the somewhat distant town of Plymouth.

ity around that which was essentially in
decent, the women of Indianapolis could
not be induced to lay aside their modesty
and appear in place where
bushes, though of the deepest GRIM
son, would poorly atone for the
gress improperly of their presence.
"Living Ststuary" may be the correct name
for the exhibition, but it does not convey
to the popular mind its gross indecency.
Whatever the purpose OF such exhibitions
may be-and we do not care to set in
judgment upon those who are responsible
for their production-the effect is nothing
less than to tear down the safeguards by
which virtuous people seek to guard their
homes and the purity of society, and
admit a fiood-tide of corrupting influences
as whitening in their flow as streams of
burning lava, Under such circumstances
1t Is not strange that thesters hsYe got to
! themselves bad name, and raised an op-
position for the justification of which
there are substantial facts.
We need not be reminded that opposi-
ton to such exhibitions as the Living
Ssstusry" is charged to puritsnic prudery,
to chronic fastidiousness, and want of that
liberslity which il acquired by travel and
familiarity with European socity. All this
has been said a thousand times over, and
we regret to say has had its effect, AID
brought forth the most baleful results.
But, after all, we fail to discover the 'Sene-
fits resulting to society from the sxhibi-
ton of nude women, no matter no " classic
may be their postures; and it Ia safe &c
say that when men and worAen can az.
plsude such beas.ly imprsprieties, thai
the lowest level of dem oraliz alton has
been reached. 1t is quite in keeping
with the demoralizing tendencies of the
age to appeal to the people to patronize such
exhibitions as "Liviug Ststusry," under
the plea that they are valuable contribu.
tons to art and we'll calculated to inn.
prove the taste and judgment of those who
l dare inspect them. 1t is a bold assump-
ton that our civilization has outgrown
modesty, and that hrothel exhibitions are
in consonsrce with our purity Of thought
and action.
Since the people will be amused, it may
be well for society to give the subject o.
smusements more careful consideration
than has of late years been be
slowed upon ito look With more
leniency upon theatrical performances
that will stand the test of the severest
scrutiny, and for those who would con.
tribute to the morals of society to take
possession of the thester and other places
devoted to smusements, and by the simple
force of public sentiment Danish from the
boards and from the community such
debssing exhibitions as Living Statuary;'
bring about such a sweeping revolution in
the popular mind that not only women
but men as well, while giving generous
support to that which is of good report
will be quick to condemn that which il
known to be vicious, and under all cir
cumstances have the moral courage to lei
1t severely alone.

SUNDAY.

The coming of Sunday is something to
rejoice over. The weary and hesvy-lsden
find rest and repose, the business pulse
beats less rapidly, the over-tsxed brain
quiets down and the mind revels in serene
meditations; mans better nature gains
the ascendency; cares, vexations and
strifes ere fore otter; the chimes of the
bells awaken emotions CT a holier type
and, with footsteps toward the sanctuary,
and lovely and of good report, and holds
communion with all that Is pure, exalted
and heav emily. Some worship in temples
made with hands, kneel where the great
congregations pray, listen when the deep
toned organ fills the temple with melody,
or. in wrspt iorgetiulness of the world,
dwell upon the words of the minister as
be pictures the future abode of the saints.
Others, not less devout, 60 out into the
fields and the forests where they recline
beneath the shade of the trees, contem-
plate nature in all of her varied beauties.
listen to the melody OF bird and brook
and bee-commune with the creator
through his works of infinite variety aud
beauty. During these hours they expert
ence q holy calm and peace, and are wor-
shipping God, il Is to be hoped, as accept
ably as those who throng the church edi-
fees. or elsewhere congregste to pay their
vows to the Most High. Others again, on
Sunday, rest and ballow the Sabbath in
the quiet sod retirement of their own
homes, they read, mediate, and thank God
for his blessings and bounties. In the So
ciety of wife, child and friends, they may
be not less devout than thousands who
look forward to Sunday as day in which
they must attend public worship. 1t is a
matter of graduation that society is be-
coming more tolerant. and is more will
ing than in the past that men shall choose
their mode of worship. 1t is to pe hoped
that charity which thinkethgno evil is
becoming more deeply implanted in the
hearts of all.
