ANDovER.-Last Tuesday evening the
people of Andover had the pleasure of
listening 10 Il lecture by Mr.. Conant, state
superintendent of schools. The following
are some of the principal ideas which he
advanced First, that term of school
should continue more weeks rs the first
part of the term is appropriated in a
greater or less degree in arranging classes
and in preparation for genuine school
work. therefore, three terms, two of which
are ten weeks and the other eight weeks
in length, more time would be lost than in
Two terms Of fourteen weeks. Next,
teachers should be secured for the school
year; then good teachers would be en-
gagged and, us every good teacher has II
way of his own, it would save the time
which would be required by another to
become familiar with each scholar S
requisites Again, II uniformity of text
books should be adopted thus securing a
less number of classes and enabling the
teacher to devote more time TO each class
In consequence Of the rain, the young
peoples literary meeting, which was to be
held last Saturday evening, was postponed
until this week Thursday evening. The
question for discussion is, ReSolUed, That
the life of a farmer is preferable to that of
a mechanic.
The Baptist society has secured the
year. II.
BARRE.-The young people of this
place were favored with lecture from
Judge Barrett of Woodstock on Saturday
at academy hall, which was rich in in
struction and suggestion to the young
and highly priced by the older ones. He
gave II second lecture Sunday evening at
the Universalst church, also addressed to
the young, and especially to the students
of both schools. The thoughts suggested
were appropriate and well appreciated,
and the house crowded.
An accident happened TO Mrs. L. e.
Durfee of Plainfield. While descending
the hill near j. n. Kctchum's, some part
of the harness gave way, the horse ran
and landed in the door yard of Mr..
Ketchum. Mrs. Durfee and two young
girls were in the wagon, and were all
thrown out. Mrs. Durfee received a
severe blow on her head, and some other
bad bruises. She was taken up insensible,

injured.
| Another run was also had on Saturday
by the horse Of Cornelius Perrin backing
out Of the shed near the brick church, and

himself from the wagon, which with the
harness was sadly demoralized.

EDITOR LEDGER-So much has
been said about the underground sew
erage system and nothing done. The
people are getting tired Of it. Let
the merchants and property owners
come together and come to some con-
%clusion what will be best to benefit
Memphis. The way Memphis should
be severed is to commence on Second
street first, and then sewer the upper
part Of the city, as that part needs it
worst, as it is the oldest. The south
ern portion is comparatively near, and
the privy vaults can be kept clean by
having one or two barrels of lime
placed in the privy, to be used in the
spring and summer. 1t would be i'm
possible for US to sewer this city in
one year, for it would be four or FIVE
years before we could place Memphis
in a good sanitary condition. We
should come to some conclusion be-
fore we should ask Gov. Marks to call
an extra session of legislature. and
then VIC should go there and lay our
plans before them, and then the legis-
lature would do something to benefit
Memphis. But if we sould go there
with a lot of nonsense in our heads
and keep the legislature two or three
weeks at a heavy expense, it will never
do. Come to some conclusion, and
that very soon. X.
