WE have received a very interesting historical sketch by the Rev. Edwin Wheelock, of the first settlement of Cambridge, Vermont The first settle ment was made by David and John Stafford and five others, in 1764. They were all soldiers of the revolution. In l165 a school district was formed and school taught by John SafTord, wha lived 10 the age of 94 and who exer- cised q commanding influence for seventy years. David Stafford was the first representative to the Legislature from that section of the state. In their school district, lived ten heads of fami- lies whose united ages were 1897, an average age of almost s years, which shows that the great industry and frugaliiy these people had t0 practice. were conducive to longevity. David Stafford was the grandfather and John Stafford grand-uncle of Governor Saf ford of this Territory, which shows that his worthy ancestors were earnest workers in the cause of education nearly a century ago, which cause the Governor has so nobly espOuscd and labored flr in this Territory.

Wilson of Iowa, demanded that ElkinsI withdraw his remarks or else state whose sons were so supported, and Holman, getting very nervous, called attention to the absence of a qu rum and stopped the debate The fact is that Holman's son who has taste for science, has been for several years in Dr Hayden'S employ, and ihe discus sion was getting loo personal for his cOmfOrt-Dcnver News
