Miller, Oak, April lo-A young
farmer, named McCarl, living south
west Of this place, brought to town an
old yellow scrap of paper which was
found on his claim in a bottle tightly
corked, bearing the following:
"MondaJ, July lst, 1sel-My name
is Sam Black, and I am going to die
/ was wounded at Big lake first, then
/ ran to the hills, where the Indians
caught me and left me for dead right
here. / have lots of money and | put

ly written and badly spelled epistle.
The lake referred to is now called
f, Wall lake. The hills are called Rec
hills, and were a rendezvous for the
hostile Indians in those times.

The Town System of Schools.
To be Voted on Next Tuesday.

In The Caledouian of Feb. ;, we gave
the appeal of the committee of the
Vermont Teachers association to
the people of Vermont for the
adoption of the town system of
schools, rs it is called. While this mat
ter was nnder consideration at the last
session of the Legislature the following
testimony. aud much mors which we
have not room for, was elected.
From Randolph. Mr.. p. E. Grow,
chairman of the board of directors,
stated that the town system had
worked we'll. Regular attendance, less
tarliness, greater interest by pupils
ana parents, equality of privileges and
equalizing of school taxes, better and
permanent teachers ut IL smaller actual
cost. has been the outcome of the adop-
ton of the town system in Randolph.
Mr. a. A. Smith was of the opinion
that the people get more for their
school money, a great deal, under the
town system of management; the
school furnishings are better, the
houses are kept in better condition,
the teachers are permanently engaged,
extending in some cases to two years,
while before there was change every
term. Under the district system there
was great inequality in the length of
terms in the different districts now
each district has the same number of
weeks. Formerly some districts paid
high school tax, Others. none at all
now there is an equality Of taxation for
the schools. Mfr. ID, II. Morse corr0b-
grated all that had been said about the
favorable working of the system. Ths
tax III his district had been one dollar
on each dollar of the grand list for the
support of schools. Now it was thirty
cents on dollar, with more weeks of
school, better teachers and better
schools. Mr.. II. c. Gilbert explained
how teachers meetings were regularly
held for mutual improvement in school
work under the direction of the board,
and the interest that bad been awak-
ened by this means. Mr.. A. A. Priest
and Col. J. b. Mead made remarks
fully sustaining the testimony of the
preceding witnesses,

Boston's Dickens Carnival,
An Exciting Fire Scene not on the Pro
--.. gram


The 400 cOstumed people who gave
the Dickens carnival at Boston Tues
day night were watched by 5000 spec
tators, glad to applaud the various
scenes from the novelist's works eIab-
grated with time, taste and care The
of David Copperfield and
Dora was followed by tableaux and
acted scenes from "Bleak House" and
"Pickwick Papers," and ''Mrs. Jarley's
wax works" The evening closed with
30-yOice chorus of the Marseillaise
and a procession of the 400 performers
about Mechanics hall where the carni-
val was held.
The possibility of fire had occurred
to more than one person in the crowd
ed audience; and just at the end as
the curtain fell little spark was seen
upon the red cloth side of the prosce-
Mum. Several men jumped up excited
~ and pointed to it. In an instant
the attention of the whole vast audi
enee was centered upon that one SPOT.
Even as they looked the little flame
gIided up the side, crawling with start
ling rapidity along the edge of the fab
ric. Rapidly the flame rushed on, its
bright red light shining in startling
distinctness from the edge of the dark
red curtains and letting out iu little
vivid points of ringing. The curtains
were all hung upon q light pine frame
work temporarily erected. Over the.
broad walls of cloth the flame contin-
ued to dart. The actors had rushed at
first from the stage, but now number
of them returning with the ushers who
were at hand, all seized the ropes and
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1885-02-26

/ curtains and pulled down the burning
cloth. AS fast as it fell they trampled
it under foot, and in order that the an-
dience might net be frightened by the
noise and flame behind, they tore away
the curtains in front, leaving the whole
scene of action displayed. All this had
happened in II minute, SO rapid had
been the darling of the tiny flame. The
audience viewed the. scene with sub
dued terror, bat preserved throughout
the utmost GOODNESS and presence of
mind. Although the pulling down and
smothering of the falling fame did not
seem to check the fires advance-for
the narrow stream of flame spread
more rapidly than thought from wing
To fly and from fly toward opposite
wing-still not a person moved, except
the few near the edge of one side door
opening into the other hall. j. Thomas
Baldwin, almost as soon as the curtain
was pulled down by the hands of the
excited amateur fireman, had lifted his
baton and ordered his orchestra to
play. Their music was a reinsurance.
But the fire seemed bound to win, and
now the spectators, viewing the stage
with keener interest than they ever
viewed 1t before, saw the red light al
most fly across the upper part of the
pTosceDium. If it reached the mass of
drapery on the other side the danger
would be almost, if not entirely, inca
pable of being checked. A 1.-THE form
was seen quickly climbing up the slen-
der framework, hand over hand, and
swinging from crossbar to crOssbar.
The audience recognized the blue uni
form of the fire patrol and seemed to
see IN this a sure talIsman of safety.
Men cheered and women joined with
them, while handkerchiefs and hats
were waved from all parts of the hall.
1t was remarkable sight. The throng
did not forget their own danger. but
their intense realization Of peril awoke
this spontaneous and heartfelt APP
plause. 1t was Substitute Victor of
engine % who with a companion was
on duty in the hall, and who now
proved himself true to his duty. The
flame had almost reached the opposite
side when he gained the top, but just
at that moment he seized the cloth and
tearing it from the framework dropped
it part way to the stage. AS it hung
there it was seized by others and pull
ed way down.
