Daniel Tennev received a fall Sat
urday, while carrying bed up stairs,
that resulted in a broken arm. The
| Deacon is out, however, and looking
happy.
One would Judge from the number
of carriages received and sold by w.
S Cheney that he was bound to lead
the business in northern Vermont.
He keeps constantly on hand almost
any kind of vehicle that man need
! desire, and he sells to almost every
body that wants to buy, which is a
sure indication that satisfaction is
given.
Rev. Henry n. Herrick of Mime
apolis, Minnesota, died at the resi-
dence of his son, Prof. T.. L. Herrick,
in Granville, Ohio, May s, 1886, after
long and protracted illness. He
was the son of Nathan and Laura
Herrick formerly of Morristown, but
now of Minneapolis. The deceased
was buried at Minneapolis.
The Academy boys sat down on the
Miles fence Monday night, and Tues
day morning Prof. Wilson sat down
OF the boys. A few searching ques-
tons elected the desired Indignation,
and four rnddy youth were detailed
to rebuild the fence, which they did in
a master-workmanlike manner. The
qaartette was photographed by Robin
son while on the battle-ground.
The closing exercises of the P. A.
and NJ. G. S. were held at the Acad-
envy Hall last evening, before large
and appreciative audience. The floral
display and stage decorations were
very fine, equaling, if not excelling,
those of previous classes. The exer-
cises, consisting of orations and es-
says by the graduating class, and dec
lamations and recitations by the men,
tiers of the junior classes, were all
good and showed both talent and
faithfulness in their preparation. The
salutatory and grafton, "The Battle
of Gettysburg," by Thomas G. Cheney,
deserves mention, and reflects credit
upon its author. Miss Alice II.
Bushee, in her essay entitled 1.-The
Maid of Orleans" illustrated in a
mastery manner the character and
achievements of Joan of Arc. Jo-
seph c. Noyes' Grafton, Success"
was success in all respects. Miss
Grace l.. Hyde read an essay entitled
''Prometheus," in which she ably il
Illustrated the origin of this mytholgi-
cal being. Miss Hyde also delivered
the Yaledictory. The Grafton of
Arthur H. Wood, who graduates with
the class, was omitted on account of
sickness. The declarations and rec
itations by the juniors were all excel
lent, but we lack space for further
comment. They were as follows
The Price of Eloquence, Edmund G.
Morse; 1.-The Healing of the Daugh-
ter of Jairus," Gertrude Camp s'The
Slaves of Martinique" Ines Ii. Le-
Baron; Nations and Humanity"
Ernest r. Bracket; 1.-The Switch
mans Story" Ellen G. Eaton, At
the close of the exercises Prof: Will
son presented to the graduatipgyclass
their diplomas, with a few appropriate
remarks. The members of the class
Of 80 were L. G. Cheney, Alice II.
Bushee, Arthur H. Wood, j. C. Noyes,
and Grace L. Hyde. After presiding
over the school for a period of four
years, Prof. Wilson now retires from
its management. During the period
the school has prospered and at pres
ent is in the best condition it has
been for years. We are sorry to lose
Mr.. Wilson, and he will carry with
him in his retirement the good will OF
both pupils and citizens. For his
successor we are glad to say the COM
mittee have secured in M. S. Stone
gentleman, "a scholar and a successful
teacher. SO we have no fears for the
school i'll the future.
The Listers have completed their
work and it is we'll done. The follow
