THE public examination of teachers for

rooms here Saturday, April p. Those in
tending to teach in our schools by studying
the regulations adopted at the county meet
ing will find it for their interest to be pres

Mack recently shipped ten-ton block of
his superior dark mixed granite to Man
chester, Vt. We understand it is for the
die to private monument. This granite is
regarded as the best yet discovered here for
fine monumental work. AS the surface has
only been barely scratched, no doubt extern
sive deposits will be found the coming sea-
son, equaing Mack's quarry in appearance
and quality. - John Bridgman, Esq.
of this village came near having fire at
his residence on the morning of April 9,
through the burning of a sooty deposit in an
unused fireplace. The fireplace was COW
cred in front with brick wall and an out
side lath-and-plaster partition. The latter,
being in contact with the chimney became
ignited, but was happily discovered in sea-
son to prevent serious damage. - The
fire loss of Charles III. Goodrich has been
adjusted by the Union Mutual and is, we
learn, mutually satisfactory. The company
was very prompt in making settlement.
The fire occurred Saturday evening, the
company was notified Monday and j. H.
Senter, Esq, secretary of the company,
viewed the ruins, agreed upon terms of set
amount Wednesday forenoon. We think
pOlicy-hofders in cases of loss can not rea-
sonably find fault with such treatment.
- New sugar is not as yet very abun-
dant. 1t has been marketed in a small way
here for local or shipping market at eight
cents for tubs and nine to ten cents for
ten pound pals. This is for the best
quality. Syrup of good quality commands
about seven cents per pound in cans. -
Robins and other small spring birds have
made their appearance, but are some
what later than usual in this locality.
- We understand that A. h. Pike of
the Maple Park House and his son, Bert
Pike of Johnson, have purchased the above
named house of A. f. Judevines estate
| and contemplate enlarging its capacity for
business. Bert has rented for the use of his
family l.. ID. Hathaway's tenement adioin-
ing his law office. - Mrs. Cutler of West
Woodbury. has sold her farm to Mr. Row
ell of Craftsbury. - l.. G.. Foss did not
go to Rome, \. Y. for cancer treatment, as
previously announced, but is now receiving
treatment at home by DIR. Wells, special
list in the treatment of cancers, of Lynn,
Mass We understand that Dr. Wells has
treated his case once before, but, as it
now appears, unsuccessfully. - Andrew
Miles is preparing to build new house on
land purchased of r. +. Wakefield, and has
most of the lumber already on the ground.
A two-story building, twenty-six by thirty
two feet, is projected. - Rev. A. b.

riously i'll. - The first meeting of the
