Our Town Election on Monday pass- ed off very quietly. Of course the Dem- ocrats have 1t all their own way, and all the votes that are cast by tho Republi- cans are only cast from 6 sense of duty. The Republicans presented a mixed tick ct, and came within about seventy of eiecting it. Only about half of the vote of the Town was boiled, some 342 in all. which William c. Buell. received for Grand Juror, he being run on both tickets. A great many enquired for the privilege of voting No License. which was not allow ed as our Selectmen had not warned the meeting for such purpose, We think this element will be attended to next year. A good many ''split" votes were cast, making the task of counting very slow and tedious. Had it not been for J: G. Cutler of Waterbury who sold whips and blankets near the entrance of the Town Room. there would not have been any excitement at all. Only two or three fights transpired and those were not of a serious nature. The voting on the num- berless amendments was little ludicrous, hardly anybody understood them, and most all that were put in the box were done by the urging of the lockers on. who enjoyed the solemn air that person had, when he took up the vote, and seemed to realize that he must deposit if, and then the resigned manner in which he placed it in the box, and the sigh of relief when all was over.
 In the annual town meeting the re- ports of the Selectmen, Town Treasurer and School Visitors were accepted. The Report of the School Visitors was read by the Secretary and was the usual review of praise for each school district. Every thing was very gratifying, &c.,, &c. The motion to print 800 copies of this report was lost. The usual distribution of petty offices such as hayward, nuisance com mittee, &c., were given to var1ous distin- guished citizens.
 The following ticket was elected:
 Select Men.-Jaeeb Morse, Garner B. Curtiss. Harry Clemons, Everett H. Wright, Darius P. Gr1swold.

 Treasurer and 1Teasurer Toecn Deposit Fund. d.-George- M. Woodruff.

Our principal merchant, who is also a prominent Republican, was on his way home from the Centennial one day last week. He arrived by the boat at Bridge port tired, hungry and somewhat cross.

 Last week Northfeld was billed for a dance at Liberty Hall, for the benefit of the knife grinders, who are on a strike. The bills were headed by the mystic let ters, G. M. A. 4. Curiosity was excited to know their signifcation. Could it mean the Grinders Mary Ann Associa- tion? The strike has continued for oyer month. with considerable loss to the hands; some of them will be in suffering condition if it continues very long. If the hands would have free, full talk with the ''boss. and not depend so much on their committees" much misunder- standing would be avoided.
 The wet Sundays have prevented a full attendance at church. Last Sunday both churches were very full. In the morning the Rev. Mir. Howard. of the Congregational church, preached a very fine discourse from 2d Cor, 1st Chap. ,4th and 9th verses.

Hillard and benediction by the Moderator. conference adjourned feeling that they had enjoyed very pleasant and proftable.season.

and that is something. A very large
majority Of teachers now in the public
schools of the State are without expert
ence, Trained teachers are needed
everywhere, but no where are they more
in demand than in Tennessee. The life
of the school system depends upon the
efficiency of those who teach the public
schools, The best investment that the
State could make would be a number of

More than six thousand teachers are now
in the school room, How many of these
are prepared for their work' This is a

Dear Sr:-Perhaps a little news from

to you. especially. news concerning school
matters.
There is an excellent system of free
schools in operation. The law provided
that every district shall establish and sup
port a free school for all children between
the ages of six years and twenty-one, for
not less than five months (of twenty-five
days EACH nor more than nine months in
each year. About 81 900 teachers are
required to keep the schools in operation
According to a late report the average,

"The ingenuity of parties engaged in the
practice of defrauding the Government
through the evasion Of the payment of the
tax on whisky seems to be inexhaustible.
The latest device has Just been exposed
though the efforts of Colonel Hunt, Su.
p~ervisor Of Internal Revenue for the
Ohio and Indiana District, and consists in
using barrels which are manufactured
with the two slaves opposite the bung
about twice as thick as the rest. BY this
arrangement, the gauger who, inserting
the gauge through the buug, would strike
the thick slaves, and suppOsing the others
to be of the same thickness, would gauge

barrel actually contained. Colonel Hunt
made q seizure of four hundred
barrels Of that description last week
at Lafayette, Indiana, in the es-
Enlistment where they were
manufactured. The cccpers protested
their innocence Of any latent to defraud
the Government, claiming that..they were
