Nothing has been reported especi-
ally of the election of county commits
sioner for this county, but as Whiting
ham voted 145 for L. p. Morey, he is
probably elected, no other town having
cast SO large vote.
A party of some twenty-five or
thirty of the pupils of the High School,
took sleigh ride Friday evening of last
week, and visited their fellow pupil, Al
lenk abin, at the house of his father, +.
s. 6bin, jr., in Grafton, where they had
ay<ry pleasant occasion.
Rev, Mr.. Tabor, who was elected
S0perintendent Of Schools for this town

member of the board of education of

serious than was hoped, and he died last
Saturday. Saturday forenoon he was
able 20 get up and back to bed, but sank
Away in the afternoon 1t is sad case

Martin Kane of this village, with
some others of this place, attended the
election at Walpole, Tuesday, and re-
turned by riding on platform car, and
when above Cheshire railroad bridge he
jnmped from the car while in motion,
though it had slackened up, and the re-
sult was he was thrown on to some rocks
aud down q wall embankment, breaking
one arm twice, one leg and weunderstand
sone of his ribs. DIR. Gosselin was CALI
land found his injuries very severe and
h recovery is regarded as doubtful.
The winter term of the village
ne1b ols closed last Friday, and it is doubt
fHaA at any previous time all of the
eehools Of this place were ever in so
eeod condition, it certainly must be rare
thst they have equalled their present
slnndard. We do not propose to write
areport on these schools, much ADLER
pen has done that, the town superintend-
ent, and has done it very favorably, as
be had good reason to. From the pri-
mary by Miss Elmendorf, the interme-
date by Miss Kidder, the grammar by
Miss Villas, TO the high school in which
Prof Ward is principaland Miss Leach as
sistant, running through all these depart
ments, there is graduation and evenness
ID classes that at once strikes the visitor
viii favor. We believe all the visitors
during the term just closed were unani-
mons on this point. The annual examin-
ation will take place at the end of the
spnng term, but few recitations or
deeamations were given in the high
school during Friday afternoon, in
highly creditable manner. Notable was
~ rehearsal of "Curfew must not ring
fonght as well as several Others. A
pmhlnent feature was the reading of
vlsIt to an editors sanctum. True to
DO 7 Rev. Mr.. Chandler, superinten-
dent of schools the pest year, was pres
ent and made some excellent remarks,
and alluding to the progress made in the
schools from previous terms, spoke of the
fact that he now found so much less to
criticize than in former visits. This vii
lage will of course see to it that the pres
ert high standard of their schools is
