In Center Rutland the school in
District No. II, taught by Mr.. +. L..
Mason, of Middlebury college, closed
on the 18th inst. Mr.. Mason has taught
one of the most pleasant and profitable
terms that this district has known for
many years, as every scholar will ac-
knowledge, and all who visited the
school could plainly see. lie goes from
his terms work with the good wishes
of q n ,,,,,;Ic orJ tlo;r ,,o,ou1e rIIoroI ia

Edward J. Northrup, whose long
illness has been mentioned, died We'd
nesday morning, at the age of twenty
seven. A post morton was held the
same afternoon. 1t showed that a
large abscess extended OH the left side
from the middle of the back to the
thigh, with a cavity that would hold
two quarts. The lower vertebrn and
the hip bone were diseased. There
was smaller abscess on the right side.
The intestines were adherent to the
bone of the hip, and were much inham-
ed and gangrened. Drs. Bass, Gale,
Russell, Calender and Eddy were the
physicians attending the post mOrtem.
Julius Wilmette, of Salisbury, who
was injured last January, by falling
down from the road beyond East Nj id
dlebury has been upon the town of
Salisbury, during the time he was laid
up. We understand that he has offered
to settle his damages with this town for
three hundred and fifty dollars, while
the sclectmcn think three hundred dol
lars ample, provided the town is liable,
as to which there seems to be consid-
cradle doubt. The sclectmen of Sails
bury offer to forego any claim for his
charge upon them if our selectmen will
settle for three hundred and fifty dol
lars. The sum is not very large one,
and we presume the selectmen would
not make very strenuous resistance
but for lurking fear that in these
hard times other men might thereby be
induced to tumble down prccipices for
the sake of the pay.
Annual school meeting next Tues
day. There docs not seem to be much
talk about it, and it seems that our citi.
zens must by this time have pretty
generally come to the conclusion that it
is not best to risk lesscning the effic-
cncy and value of our graded school by
any i'll considered action. 1t seems to be
admitted that The salaries of the teachers
are none too large, and that liberal
policy oh the part of the district in sup
porting the institution has resulted in
giving us one of the best schools in the
state. The expenses are gradually les
SEEMING. The cost of the school for the
year 1876, was S6630.79 1S76.77,
S6l44.15; for the past year, less than
$500. This shows that the prudential
committee can be trusted to make every
possible reduction in expenses consist
cnt with maintaining the highest ctiici-
ency of the school.
Nor AT ALL RIsING.-Experienc
has always proven an expensive
teacher, but so long as so large por-
ton of mankind are willing to be hum
plugged, and believe the most ridicu-
lous statements made by those interest
ed in cheap inferior goods, so long will
the cheapest and poorest pianos be cho-
sen by those seeking great bargains.
We are advised that during the past
year Mr.. Fred III. Cluett, at 269 River
street, Troy, n. V, who represents
the Chickering, Stcinway and IIaines
pianos and Estey organs for very
large territory, has been called upon TO
exchange large number of instru-
ments that have been bought without a
critical knowledge of the goods, and in
number of instances the parties max
ing the exchange have been obliged to
suffer great loss to replace the poor
with good, reliable instrument. The
best is always cheapest, provided the
price is not too high, and you are GER
tain of securing an instrument that will
last for life time.
"OuR FIRST CENTURY. "A really in
teresting and valuable work with the
above title, has come to our notice and
deserves a word as to its character and
merits. Its plan is different from any
other-being history of over one hum
dred separate events of every variety
that have occurred in the United States
since the Declaration of Independence
each one treated in separate chap
ter. The author, r. NJ. Devens, has a
very concise, graphic and pleasing style
of writing, which gives the work all The
interest of novel, with the strictest
adherence to facts of the deepest inter-
est and Importance to every person.
No one can form an adequate idea of
the vast amount of information contain
ed in this work without examining it.
We are glad our community are now
to have an opportunity to see for them
selves this,grcat work of over thous-
and imperial octave pages, that is hav-
ing very extensive sale wherever in
troduced, and we feel sure they will not
regret the time thus spent. The pub
fishers, c. a. Nichols Il Co., SPRING
field, Mass, have spared no pains or
expense, i'll its whole make up, and offer
the work at very reasonable price.
