The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1877-05-17


| DR.. Sanford of Castleton was called, and
Mr.. Murthur is much improved and is still
improving.
Mrs. Candace Barber continues to i'm
prove in bodily health, and her many
friends are much gladdened by 1t.
Mrs. Lewis Peters has been seriously
afflicted with bronchitis and asthma. But
now she is more comfortable.
The dull times in mercantile and mechan-
ical circles have had one good tendency,
which may produce permanent results.
More attention is paid to the cultivation of
the land. Empty houses in the country
are filed, and unoccupied lands are called
for. And are not too many people depend
ent on manufacturing and selling?
Our schools are now fairly at work again
and with good prospects of doing good
work. But there is one habit which some
of our districts are perpetuating which
should be forever abandoned, and that is,
voting that the teacher shall board around,
and 90 to places one and two miles from
the school house. After teacher has
tired herself out during her school hours
think it is demanding too much to ask her
to walk two miles, or even half that for her
supper and breakfast. Any laboring man
would regard the walk as tedious as his
work.
