FIRST CLASS In GEOGRAPHY,
A School Examination in an Old Vii
lage in Connecticut Sharp Scholar

STAFFORD, Jan. 22.-Stratford is an
ancient village, situated on the shore Of
Long Island Sound, about three miles east
of Bridgeport. 1t has a local reputation
for its superabundance Of unprotected fe-
males, both in the May and autumn of life
it's salt bay, and vast swarms of mosqui
toes, which fly on tireless wings during the
summer solstice. Il also gained consider
able notoriety about twenty years ago for
those mysterious manifestations known as
Stratford rappings. The antique houses,
and the broad grassy streets, well hedged
with ancient elm and buttonball, give the
town very patriarchal aspect, while the
bell in the sombre church steeple is the
one which pealed forth at the victory of
Bunker Hill
The old settlers have long viewed with a
Jealous eye the inroads of strangers; but
notwithstanding their caution. they are be-
ginning to succumb to the tide of emigra-
ton, as all ready several families of the
great unwashed have settled ia that part
known as Lundy Lane, while their numer
Gus contributions to the roll OF the public
school are having their effect.
On Jan, Z your correspondent had the
rare fortune to attend an examination held
by the examining board in the Lundy
Lane school house. The building digni
fed by the name was a low brick affair,
reminding one of Roger Sherman's cob
bling shop, with large yard for outdoor
work, and small retreat for rainy wealth
er and little jobs. This was the institution
which the old settlers proudly called their
school. The educational corps consisted
of two teachers. On entering, found the
teachers busily engaged in explaining to a
dull eyed boy the queer operation of tax
ing four from ten and leaving only six.
The examination was inaugurated by a
call for the first class in geography. At
this signal there was general rush for
the trout, and after tumbling oyer three
or four benches aud getting mixed up with
their occupants, they at last emerged in a
crooked row, ready fer work.
