We are indebted to some unknown

Potato bugs and current worms are

Miss Galbreth of New York, who
spent last summer with Mrs. V. D..
Fitch, is again at 1.-The Elms." There
is no better locality for good pure air
and delightful scenery, free from the
obnoxious surroundings of the average
summer resort, than right here in our
little village. Parties have their choice
of either a good hotel or a private
boarding house.
Considerable stir about the village
Tuesday for short time by the an
nouncement that a noted liquor case
which has been before the court
for several years was to be tried; a
jury was ordered drawn and trial to
take place at once. But, alas by
agreement the case is continued, and
justice, for a short time only it is
hoped, is delayed.
1t is to be hoped that the Prudential
Committee in securing teachers for the
ensuing year will not overlook the fact
that the number of scholars now at
tending our Academy is far too large
for two teachers to give proper atten-
ton to. Three teachers are necessary
and should be engaged. Of course
there will be considerable growing by
few old fogies who have long since
ceased to take an interest in educa-
tioual affairs, and in paying schoo
taxes count it as so much loss. The
day for such economy is gone by.
The present age demands good educa,
tional facilities and the children should
not be deprived of them.
