FaystOn.-Walter D. Porter, an estimable
citizen of this town, died last Sunday afternoon.
More will be said about Mr.. Porter hereafter
Large numbers Of young ladies have made
applications for situations as teachers in this
town. Some committees have had not less
than five or six applications, many of them
from other towns. The beauty Of the district
system was shown at the annual meeting in
school district No l. when motion to support
twelve weeks of school in the summer and
twelve in winter during the year was defeated
Neither Of the five which voted against the
motion had children to send, and four OF them
have list of less than 81, all combined Zone
having no list) On the other hand, one of
our largest Taxpayers, with family Of six
children, all OF school age, is deprived Of
school the coming summer and poor widow,
having five children (the oldest of which is not
quite fourteen, and who cannot possibly attend
school in the winter), is deprived of the means
Of schooling her children during the summer
It Is rather humilating for the large taxpayer,
who has paid taxes in the district thrty-two
years, twenty-four Of which he had no children
to send, to be deprived Of summer school in
this way. This district, for the past twenty five
years, has produced more teachers than all the
other districts in town combined, and it now
seems hard to see those who have been edu-
Gated in this district, whose wife has been
educated in this district and whose children
have heen educated in this district, raising a
hand against a summer school. In honor of
those having no children to send, who comprise
the majority, or rather to the laws of Vermont,
it should be said that it was voted to sustain
ten weeks school in the fall and ten in the win
ter. Hasn't the district system outived its use
fulness

WashingtOn.-The principal excitement of
the week has been the search for "Uncle Ned
Sargent, who has been missing since week
ago last Saturday. He was then on his way
home afoot from visit to some relatives near
his own home His sister, with whom he has
resided, supposed him still on his visit, and he
was not missed until Thursday. On Friday
number of townsmen engaged in a thorough
search for him, but as yet no trace of him has
been found. Owing to the depth of snow which
had fallen previous to Friday, it was impossi-
BILE to find any track to guide the search, and
it is generally believed he is buried in the snow
somewhere near the spot where he was last
seen. Uncle Ned" was upwards of eighty
years of age, and has been unsound in mind
for some years, which fact leaves but little
doubt in the minds of those who knew him best
that he must have wandered away and persisted
in the snow.... The last snow-storm was the
severest of the season in these parts, rendering
many of the highways in town entirely i'm
passable, and putting the thoughts of an early
sugar crop thoroughly out of the public mind
-. George Seaver is improving slowly.
