Town superintendent Report.

ST. JOHNsBURY, Mar. l, 1880.
To the Selectmen of st. Johnsbury-
Gentlemen:
| have the honor herewith to trans
NIT my report of the schools for the
past year. 1t is with pleasure that
am able to report much progress during
the school year. There is a marked
improvement in the general depOrt-
ment, more attention has been given to
the fundamental principles of the
studies. There has been less effort to
ego through the book" During the
year a new set of text books have been
introduced. As to the wisdom of the
change, 1 beg to refer you to the follow
ing statement of Miss Kimball, the
principal of our union schools. She
says: 81 think all of our teachers will
say heartily that they are vast i'm
provement on our old books. The most
important books, the Readers and
Arithmetics, have more than met our
expectations. Az lu6E6 WAS
some fault-fnding among the parents
about both of these books, because, as
they said, 'they were too easy for their
children but we, as teachers, found
quite as much work in them as the clas-
ses were capable of mastering. Some
of the teachers have made grand sue
cess of the sounds of the letters as given
in their reading books. All have used
the language lessons with good success
In regard to the Arithmetic, all have
to say is that | would like any and all
to visit the schools and compare the
work, in mental arithmetic, particular
ly, with that done any years previous
The book has been in use six months
and l have watched it in all grades
One of the primary teachers says of it.
1t is the grandest arithmetic l evel
saw in my life,' and l can say most
heartily that it is by far the best arith-
metic ever used ="
i regret that some of the teachers in
the district schools were too easily dis
couraged-skipped the language lesson.

81 beg your pardon" and with a
smile and touch of his hat, Harry Ed

whom he had accidentally stun bled,
the cane which he had knocked from

Not a Bit" said the old man cheeri-
ly. "BOys will be boys, and it's best
they should be-. You didn't harm me-"
'T'm glad to hear it," and lifting his
hat again, Harry turned to jsin the
playmates with whom he had been frel-
licking at the time of the accident.
"What did you raise your hat to that
old fellow fort" asked his companion,
Charley Gray. "He's only Giles, the

Harry "the question is not whether he

Death of a Hero of the Late War

Death of a Hero of the Late War.
Mr.. Joseph F. Lake died at his resi-
dence on Federal street in this city,
yesterday morning, from the effects of
wound received in service in 1868.
Mr.. Lake enlisted as private in Com
pany A in the 18th Maine Volunteers,
and served with great credit in all the
engagements of his regiment up to the
time of receiving his wound. Having
been promoted to sergeant he was de-
tailed to carry the eolors of the regi-
ment, which he did at Charlottesville
and Gettysburg. At Gettysburg, six of
the eight members of the color guard
were killed or disabled by wounds, and
Sergeant Lake carried off both stands
of colors. The wound which caused his
death was received at Locust Grove. A
rifle ball struck his right thigh, passed
in front of the spine and came cut near
the left thigh.
From 1870 to 1873 Mr.. Lake was en-
plOyed in the customs service at this
port in the several capacities of inspect
or, storekeeper and clerk, and always
proved himself an efficient and faithful
public servant.-P Portland Advertiser.

Fruit Trees on Lawns.

for ornamental trees. A correspondent
of the Gardeners Chronicle puts the
question:: ''Why are not fruit trees
more generally planted on lawns for
ornamental purposes?" The idea seems
to prevail that fruit trees must be con-
fined to the orchard or kitchen garden;
yet what can be more beautiful than
the pale pink and white of the apple
blossom, the pure white of the cherry
and pear, and the deep rose of the
peach? Cherry trees literally white
with blossoms are of no rare sight, and
what is more charming than the grace
full branches clad in spotless purity.
Then, too, the ripe fruit, in thick clus-
tiers upon them, is no less pleasing to
the eye than gratifying to the taste.
There are many species and varieties
of trees which are planted in yards and
lawns, which have no more slightly APP
pearance than an apple tree, without it's
wealth of fragrant bloom, or its show
ers of luscious fruit. On the Continent
fruit trees are planted along the sides
Of highways and lanes, and the fallen
produce is looked upon as common
property, provided the traveller does
not trespass for it. Even in SUBJ
urbs of cities and large towns, where
but few feet of land is allotted to each
home, and where one would suppose
that every inch of room would be made
available, the front yards are planted
with evergreen trees, or purely orna-
mental shrubs, to the utter exclusion of
apple, pear or plum trees any of which
would be far preferable in every re-
cnaot ~ ROefO71 Traveller

Turkish Clemency to Vermin.

A Turkish family often remove from
one set of apartments to another in or
der to escape the fieas and other YER
min. The insects take up their abode
between the badly-joined planks and
under the rugs. They increase and
multiply because the Turks are unwill-
ing to destroy animal life. A lady, ia
miliar with Turkish manners, tells the
following story of the Turks clemency
towards fleas:
was once visiting the house of a
Pasha lately arrived at Adrianople. The
Hanoun, charming woman, was COM
planning bitterly to me of her rest hav-
ing been much disturbed the previous
night by the abundance of these Great
ures in her apartment. One of the
slaves modestly remarked that she had
occupied herself all the morning in
scalding the floor of the room her mis-
tress had slept in, and expressed hope
that she would not be longer troubled
in that respect. A general cutlery against
this slaves want of humanity wasraised
by all the women present, and chorus
of Yuzak! Gunahr Pity! SinD was
heard. 1t is curious that they raised
no such outcry when they heard of the
frightful destruction of human life that
took place few years later among their
Christian neigh nors in Bulgaria, but a
few miles from their own secure homes"
