WEST RASDoLPH.-The citizens of the village
of West Randolph at a meeting held on the 18th
instant voted almost tioo TO one against move
ment for repeal of their act of Incorporation and
bylaws. This is as it should be. Such move
ment. had 1t been successful, would have set that
growing and prosperous village five years back
ward. Water is very scarce in some parts Of
this village Mrs. Mary A. Liyermore will give
one of her popular lectures Saturday evening
subject, Concerning Husbands" Reserved seat
tickets thirty five cents; family of four or more,
twenty-five cents each. Go and hear one OF the
ablest lady lecturers in the land. .. Rev. C., P,
Smith gave very interesting and instructive talk
to the young people, Sunday evening, on his jour
ney West, Niagara Falls, etc. Rev Mr.. Hardy
has returned from his vacation. Rev. G. 7,
Smith administered the rite of baptism TO three
persons last Sabbath. The friends and rela-
tives Of Dan b, Smith, Esq, will be panied to
hear OF the heavy loss he has sustained. On his
arrival home fron Europe he found his house in
| New York in possession OF the police, On the
night before burglars had forced an entrance into
Mr.. Smiths house, opened his safe, took govern
ment bonds, valuable papers, diamonds, relics,
precious stones ETC., and then ransacked every
| nook and corner, taking silks, satins, velvets,
and the best Of every thing. The detectives are
doing their best to capture the burglars but at
last accounts have not been successful We do
not know the financial loss of MIR. Smith, but it
must be very heavy. MIR W. 5. Morrill,, while pre-
pairing hen hawk recently to be stuffed, found five
snakes that 1t had swallowed, two of them being
fourteen inches long. Mrs, John Spencer, an
old lady who lives down on what is called Lower
Canada" attempted 10 commit suicide on Mon
day evening at abou. seven o'clock. After send
ing her two sons each eleven years of age, up to
the village, she procured a rope aud tied one end
10 an overlay overhead In her bedroom, and stood
on the bed aud tied the other end around her
neck and then jumped on just as Mrs Henry Sui
| ham, who lives next door, came In and found her.
She succeeded In holding her until aid was pro
cured, and her life WAS saved. II Is reported that
her husband unfaithfulhess il the cause Of the
rash act Mrs Spencer works hard for n living
she being obliged 10 support herself and two emil
dren by taking in washing. .. There will be d
social hop" at Granite Hall next Friday night.

EDUCATION MEErING,-Prof. Conant State Su-
perntendent of Education and Prof II. T. Fuller
of the st. Johnsbury Academy, delivered ad-
dresses in Representatives Hall Tuesday evening,
on the living questions of Education in the State.
Prof Conant dwelt on the several topics mentioned
in his published report, especially the matter of
uniformity of text books, state tax for schools,
and the normal schools. His plea for a state tax
for schools to secure greater uniformity was CO.
gent one. His entire address was practical and
worthy of the man and his work. Prof Fuller
dwet on the need of state uniformity OF text
books, and showed with mastery skill the wis
dom of uniting our three normal schools with
their small classes, in one strong school well
equipped, and rendering the state irst-class
service. Not few members Of the legislature
honored the service by non-attendance-a thing
not proper to be done by the "Conscript Fathers
as Prof. Conant called them.

CRYSTAL WEDDING.-On Friday evening about
fifty OF the friends of Mr. and Mrs Ira c. Boutwell,
gathered at their residence in Barre to celebrate
the fifteenth anniversary of their wedding. The
night being dark and rainy, many were detained
that otherwise would have been there. They
have large family of children that are depend
ent on Mr.. Boutwell's labor. About one month
ago he was Frustrated, and until he RECEIVERS the
family will have no reliance for support, so the
friends took advantage of tie occasion and carried
such necessaries were most useful, such as pro-
visions, clothing, money, books etc. After a
bountiful supper Mr.. Charles Barber made few
remarks in presenting the gifts, and then Mr.,
William Clark, in behalf of Mr.. and Mrs. Boutwell,,
thanked the many friends for their generosity,
and made few statements in relation to the con-
dition of the family acqutting himself in very
able manner. Miss Lillian Taft sang a song in a
beautiful manner, after which the party dispersed
with many wishes for their future happiness
