Close of Union School.

The Union School closed this week,

the most profitable school years in this
school, Notwithstanding the sickness
that has prevailed. The closing exer-

of rhetorical exercises which were at
tentively listened to by quite a large
number of visitors. A class of about
30, graduates from this room at this
time. The teachers throughout the
whole school have been very popular
with the scholars, and many tokens of
remembrance were left with them by
their pupils. We learn that Miss Lau-
RI E. Maxham, who has taught at the
Union school at Montpelier for several
years, is to succeed Miss Kimball in

Marriage Anniversary.


The thiIty-fifth anniversary of the
marriage of Rev. B. M. Tillotson and
wife occurred last Saturday, the 26th
inst, when their friends, to the number
of $50 or more, gathered in the evening
at the vestry of the Church of the Mes
siah to celebrate the occasion. To man.
fest their love and good will to Mr..
TillotsOn, many gifts of utility were
brought, and were most appropriately
presented by the Rev. M. C. Henderson
of this place. These gifts consisted of
three nice hanging lamps, china set
by the Odd Fellows, and a silver tea
service by members of the church and
other friends, costing $50. Mr.. Tillot-
son replied in feeling terms to these
testimonials of esteem, and remarks
were also made by E. L. Hovey and E.
F. Brown. H. c. Bates, ESQ.,, spoke
very fittingly of the occasion and its
significance. The friends had previous
ly carried an abundance of good things
to the vestry, with which a bountiful
table was spread. The nature of the
affair was a surprise to Mr.. Tillotson,
and it was not only well planned and
well carried out, but seemed to be
enjoyed by all present.

Among the many enterprising mer-

everything can be found to feed the in

never saw so many goods in their store
as there are now. Among other things
we saw recently some very nice looking
