Call for Local History.


The next meeting of the natural his
tory society will be held i'll room No.
of the academy Thursday evening
April "a.
This society, as its name implies,
has for its purpose the study of ami
mails, birds, plants, minerals and such
objects of nature as are continually
coming under the observation of any
| whose inclinations lead them to nstice
these things. 1t is intended for mutual
help and to encourage more close,
direct knowledge of nature not in the
technical or abstract way but i'll
thoughtful attention such as all may
give and find increasing pleasure in it.
Meetings are to be held once or twice
| a month at which some special topic
of interest for the time will be pre-
scented and also ut each meeting OPP
portunity is given for contribution of
any special facts which have come to
the notice of any members. The soci-
ETY. is divided into sections relating at
present to OrnithOlogy, entomology,
| botany and geology. Other sections
may he formed rs occasion requires.
In some departments questions are fur
nished and members are to be on the
lookout to see if any positive knowl-
edge can be obtained on the points
enumerated. One prominent aim at
present in common with many Orni-
biologists in the country is to get exact
information respecting the English
sparrow rs to kind of food, habits, etc.
This information is to be carefully coli
lected and sent to the American orni
biologists union.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all interested observers of nature to
come in to the meetings of the society
whether To Join or not. Specially grad
yates or former members of the acad-
envy are asked to come in and make
themselves at home. 1t is expected
that cabinet of objects pertaining tC
the various subjects will be formed ana
the collections of the academy will be
free to the use of the society at it,
meetings.
At the next meeting the special sub
iect will be our early flowers. Would
it not he valuable addition to the
purposes of the society if it could be
made historical society as well II
seems as if it were time that facts per.
tanning to the early history of our tow
should be gathered in some form for
permanent record before the older PEG.
pie from whom great deal of inter
esting matter could be obtained shall
have passed away.
Will any specially interested in thi
line of work come in at the same time

Remember the school meeting to-
night ut seven o'clock. The object is
to fill important vacancies III the pru-
Dental committee, to see if the dis
trict will authorize the committee to
refund its present Indebtedness at a
lower rate of interest, to rescind the
vote taken to refund at the last meet
ing and to see if tho district will au-
thorizc the committee to arrange With
the academy to instruct pupils Us here
tofore. There are other matters liable
to come up, and which should in fact
Toe discussed. Some think the expenses
of running the schools too heavy.
While most people are not penurious
when the question of education arises,
still they think there should be a limit
to the lavish expense which this dis
trict has incurred aud which it is still
incurriug. Let all matters be discussed
in candor and settled i'll the wisest
manner.

Inspector BigeIow's Position.

Post-office Inspector George II. Bige-
low was at the st. Johnsbury house
Tuesday and spoke freely of his resig-
nation, which has not yet been accept
ed. He resigned because of a request
from Postmaster General Gresham,
which was doubtless made because of
the Bennington affair. He frankly
confessed that in this instance he made
a mistake. but this was the only one
charged against him during his official
service and he thought it rather hard
to he deposed from Office under suspl-
cion because of this one error. If his
resignation is accepted, Mr.. Bigelow
contemplates going back into Vermont
journalism, but at what point he has
not yet determined.
1t is said on good authority, however,
that a strong effort will be made to
have his resignation declined. Gov.
BarstOw has written hearty letter to
the postmaster general, urging MI.
Bigelow's worth as man, his fitness
for the place, his ability and experience
as reasons why he should not be
dropped. Similar letters have been
written by Judges Neazey, Powers and
Taft, which it is thought Senators Ed
munds and Morrill, and congressman
Poland and Stewart will willingly in
dOrse. If so, it is quite likely he will
be retained in his present position.
