There was quite pleasant sociablc
at the High School room, Tuesday even

but the omission of the debate was q
serious drawback to the interest of the
literary exercises.
Mrs. j. M. Sladc has had lamp
post set up in front of her residence OH
Seminary street, and the lamp thereon
sheds cheerfulncss around on the dark

John G. Staplcton proposes TO teach
an evening school in this village the
coming winter, provided he obtains a
sufficient number of pupils, and it is
said that he has almost the number he
requires. There are many young men
in Middlcbury who cannot attend the
day school and who should avail them
selves of such an opportunity.
The many friends of Miss Mary
Turrill in this place will be interested
to learn that she is soon to be married

don, who is recent graduate of Mid
dlcbury college and well known in
Middlcbury society. The ceremony

"THEY ALL DO rr."-We have.rccciv-
ed from the publishers, Lee Il Shepard,

News Mans new book with the above
title. 1t is composed of clippings from
the Danbury News, and contains some
of the brightest things that have appear

Mr.. w. ID. Lane, of New Haven,

saw him at Fort Edward, N. Y, in
formed him of his fathers death, and
conversed with him few minutes, dur
which Young Hayden said but little,
