FAYsToN.-Many OF the people OF this town
gave their patriotism an airing on the fourth by
attending pcnics OF which there were two In the
south part Of the town-one on the German Flats
under the auspices OF the Baptist Sunday school,
and the other In " Pigeon hollow" near the
dwelling house Of Stuart Ferris. Both were
well attended and all report good time and
lots OF good things to eat.... That the in
telligent and wealthy town OF Waitsfield" has
good schools and competent teachers no one can
deny, neither do we deny that Miss Thompson
is capable teacher, but when your Waterbury
correspondent states that she Is of Waitsfed,
we emphatically deny the statement, as Fayston
has been the home OF Miss Thompson for the past
twenty -seyen years. Fayston has been a train
ing ground for Watsfeld teachers for many
years, and more OF her excellent teachers have
received their first degrees in the pedagoglc art
in the town OF fayston than have graduated
from the Normal schools, We are willing to
train teachers for other towns but we are not
willing to have so capable q teacher as Miss
Thompson credited to Waitsield. However, 1t Is
but fair to state that Miss Thompson's post office
address is Watsfeld.

were not the reality yearly reproduced in
this Green Mountain land with a luxuriance
and vigorous picturesqueness which defits
portrayal by poet or painter. These bright
moist days of early summer have filed the
valleys with emerald sheen and left the hills
and mountains "with verdure clad " to their
highest SUBMITS. From some overlooking
eminence the scene is like a sea of billowy
green. Here the great deep of verdure boils
like pot, and there the swell of its long
waves rolls in undulating lines against the
horizon. Upon its bosom, like sails upon
the ocean, the scattered farm houses float,
while the villages, like fleets of ships, ride
at anchor in the sheltering harbors of the
valleys. The nearer waves exhibit a rich
mosaic OF woodland and cultivated fields, of
pastures green, and wooded mountain slopes
and crests OF plumed and tufted foliage.
In the sunlight OF a summer day. given an
imation by gentle breeze, from such a point
of observation, the closer landscape, the
