 Something went wrong in the proceed. ings of our school visitors meetings, or other proceedings, and, as result, all the teachers were summoned for new examination.

 The Parker Academy is in very flour. ishing condition. It has larger nun. Der of scholars than has attended in many years. Additional sents for the school room became necessary to accom-. modate the increased number. The principals, MT. and Mrs. Rood, are both excellent teachers. and give great satis- faction to their patrons. They have ad ded an additional nducement for the at tendance of pupils, in opening depart ment for instruction in vocal music Prof. w. A. Gordon, the accomplished organist and successful teacher, has charge of this department. A prosper ous future may be predicted for this flourishing institution.

 Hector Baldwin's new house has made rapid progress in the last few days. IL is nearly enclosed, and at it's present rate of finishing it will be ready for habita- tion in brief space. Its style of archi- lecture is very singular. It is difficult to tell whether it is after the Ionic, Cor inthan, Doric, Medieval, Gothic or Con- posie order of archtecture-our best judgment is that it belongs to the latter. It certainly is different from any other house in town. It reminds me of little occurrence, which happened in this town in 1851, when certain lawyer was building him en house" that was of new style, very different from the ordl- nary salt-Gox style, that had prevailed for half century. It was the subject of much remark and inquiry, and some curious criticism, all of which was re ceived with the Lawyers ordinary good nature. One day the owner was in the garret, looking out of the window which was of the Gothic order, when a son of 'hC AihCiaid 1elc, nltA Il Iuuubn hS DIE as barn door, agape with apparent as tonishment, stood looking up at the at tic window What are you gazing al, Pat?' said the owner, much amused. "Ah, faith in me, Jasus p replied Pat, Il was trying to find out what kind of building this was. At first thought it was church, till saw the diviI looking out at the winder." Well, pass on, Pat" said the lawyer II owe you one"
 The dogs are holding high carnival at sheep killing in the south part of the town, on Bear Hill, Ragland, ard Hesky Meadow. Much damage has been done. If the owners of vicious dogs do not re- strain them there will be Il general shoot ing by an organized band of regulators
 The beautiful weather cannot last long. Gold Winter is coming. Already the cold begins to pinch, and household CTS keep our enterprising and successful stove dealers and house furnishers, Mayne, of North Main street, anG Hitchcock, of the Hollow. so busy sup plying orders that they hardly get lime to say their prayers, though one of them is deacon" The fact is, they know how to cater to the wants of the public, and "verily, they have their reward" Woodbury has nobby little newspa- per, which calls itself IHs Woodbury he- porter, in which the people are bound to have good deal of pride, when it shall ''enlarge it's phylacteries," and add to it's staff of reporters. Aud it has hobby little correspondent, who glories in the nom de plume of w" But we 'reck- on" he has not always resided in town, and is not so well posted in the feuds of the town as some of the "old stagers" It is common remark among the latter that they have never seen the "old feel. l ing" in q more active state of efferves- cence than for the past year. So that when the correspondent says that the '-old ladies, Up and Down" have supped together, and billed and cooed, and said 'peccavi" to each other, We are forced to say that the statement admits of reasonable doubt, unless we adopt the translation of the old sinner, who went behind his barn and whispered low to himself ''Peccavi, peccavi--ah that's it, for il means, being interpreted, peek at 'sn."
 A few weeks since your correspon- dent expressed the hope that there would be no more rallies in Galpintown. But unfortunately they seem to have be-
