Training School for Nurses.

The Burlington Free Press says: eve are
glad to announce that, as the result Of several
conferences among our physicians, OF which we
made mention short time since the directors
OF the Mary Fletcher hospital have organized in
connection with the hospital, school for nurses,
with the above title, thus adding one more to the
institutions Of Vermont OF an educational and
charitable character. The object OF the school is
primarily, TO educate female nurses for intelligent
and effective service In the sick-room, and, by 80
doing, to select train and provide class Of COM
petent professional nurses whether for establish
ments or private families. The requisites for ad-
mission to this school are that pupils must be be-
tween twenty and forty years Of age; must bring
certificates Of sound health and good moral char
acter, and must pay, In advance, fee Of $40 for
the session. The course OF instruction will consist
OF lectures, rectations, demonstrations, and in.
structions at the bedside upon all medical and
surgical topics necessary to fit the pupils for the
proper care, as nurses, Of the sick and helpless.
limited number Of pupils will be selected to rem
der assistance in the hospital, and such persons
will receive, besides the remission OF their tuition
Zee, lodging and board In the hospital during their
time Of service At the close Of the session, pupils
will be examined In all the branches taught, and
record OF their proficiency will be kept for ref
erence. The managing committee Of the training
school will act as an employment bureau, for the
benefit of the nurses, approved by Them and of
those who may desire the services Of competent
nurses. This last is charitable feature OF the
school, which will, without doubt commend itself
to the public of this state and those adjoining as
well as to the nurses them selves The first session
OF this new school will open at the hospital, on
Tuesday, May I'd, and continue four weeks. DR..
A. j. Willard, superintendent Of the hospital, and

CURIOUS CLoCK.--The Rutland Herald says
Mr., s. Holton, a jeweler and matchmaker of Mid
dlebury, has recently constructed curious clock,
which acts out to perfection the assassination Of
President Garfield, The machine is a common
cuckoo clock under which is a miniature depot.
At one window is a ticket agent dealing out
tickets, while at another a telegraph operator IL
seen busy at his work. and truckmen, porters,
train dispatchers, ETC., are all flying around as
natural as life. All OF these figures are of wood
about two inches long. At the end OF each hour
the cuckoo announces the fact, and Immediately
Garfield appears on the platform, accompanied by
Mr. Blaine. Guiteau IL seen to follow him, hay
Ing just alighted from a truck wagon, and as he
fires at the president the latter falls Just then a
train of cars comes dashing in, and in the confu-
sion all the principal actors are carried into the
depot out of sight After the train dispatcher
has given the signal and the train has gone, a
small door at the left opens and priest appears,
book in hand, in the act OF reading funeral ser
vice, while at the same time another door at the
right opens and Guteau appears on the gallows.
The priest retires and shortly after the gallows
disappears with Guitsau and the doors close
This Is acted out at the end OF each hour and
takes about three minutes. Mr. Holton IL quite
noted inventor but this seems to be his master.
