FOURTH OF JuLy IN NoRTHFIEID. The glori-
Gus old Fourth Of July WIS celebrated ON the
camp ground, by the Juvenile Temple of North
field, In very proper manner and was interest
Ing to the friends OF temperance and good morals.
The day was beautiful, and amid the glories of
natures scenery quite large number gathered,
and enjoyed not only the basket picnic but the
literary exercises, performed mostly by the chill
dren Mr.. Bradshaw and sister, Miss Lucy Brad
shaw, were present, and addressed the company
in a very pleasant and folcble manner the latter
exhorted the children not To be discouraged, for
there were two hundred thousand members In the
United States belonging to the Juvenile organiza-
ton. Rev. Vim. 5. Iazen made few timely re-
marks of encouragement Mrs Edmond Pope
was President OF the day, assisted by Mrs Amasa
Persons, and was not under the necessity Of call
ing ON the sterner sex to reduce Young Amer
ica with their pockets filled with fre-cackers,
to IA state Of subordination. The Mortified Cor
net Band volunteered their services, which added
much IN the enjoyment Of the occasion, playing,
as they always do, In charming manner.
Everything passed OIL in good order, and must
prove beneficial To the cause Of temperance II

CABOT, Although no particular arrangements
were made for celebrating the birth of our ma
tons Independence, still the roar of the cannon
and the clang of bells at sunrise announced TO

Of July had again arrived. The day was very
generally taken by our citizens as n holiday In
the evening the ladies Of the Congregationalist
society held n strawberry festival at Village Hall
which was attended by large crowd that APP
peared To enjoy II hugely, The strawberries were
from the garden Of II iinnard, of Norwich, and
were very fine, and, being for a church festival,
were furnished NJ reduced rates, for which he will
please accept the thanks Of the society. The

Institute Of Instruction.

lean Institute OF instruction began in Union School
Hall on Tuesday evening. 10 say that the attend
ance was good is putting it rather mild, for 1t was
even more than that Instructors from all parts
Of New England, in even larger numbers than
was anticipated, have come together here for the
purpose Of considering the interests Of education
and the meeting promises to he most interesting
and profitable. our people, we are glad to KNOW
realize the importance Of this gathering, and gave
evidence Of Il by coming out IN good numbers ~
the first session. The music for the occasion was
furnished by the Montpelier Philharmonic society
President Bcknell presided. The session was
opened with singing and prayer by Rev Mr..
Gazier, of this town The President then made
a short Introductory speech, in which he said the
Institute welcomed its friends again on its forty
eighth anniversary Representatives are here
from all parts of New England, and we extend
welcome to all We are glad to be here and to
be welcomed by the people Of Vermont We
have here representatives Of profession in all
it, grades-college presidents, representatives OF
our primary schools, and those who labor in all
the departments of school life. After few more
felictous remarks he introduced the first speaker
Of the evening, State Superintendent Corthell, Of
Maine
This speaker first called attention to the loss
which the state had sustained in the death of his
predecessor in office, and paid tribute to his
memory. lie did not like the manner In which
the state of Maine was being drained of its teach
ers lie gave number of statistics to show the
advancement the state had made in school work
Was in favor Of a more strict procedure in the
matter of granting certificates to teachers and adj
into school districts In order to the full success
OF the school we must procure an able and
efficient board Of teachers. Not enough time is
given the children in their studies. We mean to
save oar children from studying in agony and
give them time enough to do their work well.
The speaker boosted considerably of the advance
ment his state was making In school work His
remarks concerning the hurrying of children
through their studies were well timed, and met
with much favor from the audience.
State Superintendent Downs, OF New ilamp-
shire, spoke next. lie said he felt almost en-
barrassed in speaking word for New Hampshire,
for he had promised a gentleman in the audience
not to give any statistics and was afraid he would
break his promise. Boosting seemed to he in or
der. lie would not be too boastful, but thought
he might give Maine the place merit to New iIamp-
shire in the matter Of good schools. He thought
he had right to boast of New Hampshire, not
because her people are any better educated than
those of other states, but because education
among them is more general. There are less peo-
pie in the state that are unable to read and write
than In any other state Of the Union No other
state has sent forth so many educators IA New
Hampshire, in proportion to its population

SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE LADIEs-Miss J. l..
Jameson desires to state that she is general agent
for Madam Livngston's great French system of
dress-cutting and trimming, and not having time
to introduce it in Vermont, would like an agent in
Montpelier, and also in other parts Of the state.
The system is pronounced by those who have
tried it the best invented, as the first bdSte of
u garment seldom has to be altered 1t is not
simply for plain waists but for basques sacks,
coaks, wrappers etc, and is beyond comparison
for chidren's clothing. It would repay one to
learn to do their own cutting, and il invaluable
for those who make dress-inaking their business.
Address until September, Miss j. +. Jameson,
care of c. +. Dewey, Montpelier.
