Manchester example. The officers have
not yet been chosen.
MRS. w. E OLDs of Moosic, Pa. Who

day to Valley Falls, N. Y, and from

Charles Baldwin, Republican candidate

held to be great, and the result has
proved that it was.

of this institution at Norwich have
there been so many to enter the fresh
man class as at the present time. The
State scholarships are nearly all filed +,
the first instance since the Legislature
made the munihcent and judicIous
grant. Some bright boy from Benning-
ton County can have a chance if appli-
cation is made soon.
The only thing the Argus and Patriot
could find out of the State Elections to
show it's ROSTERS for was the election of
few Democratic Representatives in
small towns like Uuderhill, Roxbury
and Braintree; when every prominent
town that was Represented by Demo-
cratic Representative in the lasC Legis-
lature is succeeded by Republican by
larger ma jorities, including such towns
as Burlington, Rutland, Mortified and
Troy,
