President-elect Harrison has written
a letter to Lieut.. Gov. Woodbury., thank

become burning one.
Congress opens next Monday. Sena-

it through the House.
We print on the inside pages the first
part of Poe's curious story, ''The Murders
of the Rue Morgue," and will give the
rest next week. The tale has singular
interest at present in view of the horrible
Whitechapel murders in London.

for the Democratic defeat we presented

MIDDLEBURY GRADED SCHOOL.


The work of the school has been going
on pleasantly and quietly, with little in
terruption from sickness, disorder or the
friction which might naturally be expect
teachers and new methods. Schools,
like children individually, when left with
strangers, quickly show their "bringng
up" and this absence of disorder and
friction is largely due to the excellent
influence exerted during past years by
the former principal, and to the expert
ence and superior qualifications of the
teachers of last year who still remain in
the school.
The quantity and quality of the work
have not been materially impaired while
the school has been adjusting itself to
the new order of things, and will be
shown by the examinations at the close
of the term to be well up to catalogue
requirements. With its steam-heated,
lhoroughly-equipped building, with its
various courses of study, with its corps
Va ~" NAP PNi i"N" 'e"'h'io' chP'os iuS
methods systematic, thorough and sue
cessful, this school invites the attention
of parents outside the district as combin-
ing the requisites for the successful pros
ecution of school work. The closing ex-
ercises of the fall term will take place on
the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 2l. The
winter term 02 weeks) will begin Mon
day, Jan. Z, 1889.

The saloon on the north end of the
bridge in this village was closed up. prob
ably for good, Monday morning. In the

tity of whiskey and other drinkables.

offence of selling, was fined $40 and costs
and paid. The complaints for keeping
were nolle-pross'd. Mcmahon and Me
Cue owned to keeping nuisance, each
was fined $50 and costs and both paid.

THE STORM.

The latter part of last week was char
acterized by low temperatures, the ther-
mometer getting down to two degrees
below zero Friday morning. Sunday
afternoon severe snow storm, accom-
panied by heavy wind, set in and con-
tinued through Monday. Five or six
inches of snow may have fallen. The
storm was general over New England
and Eastern New York. Good sleighing
was reported in Maine, Monday. Trains
were delayed by the drifts in the vicinity
of Montreal. Great damage was done to
shipping along the Massachusetts coast.

Chauncey M. Depew takes hopeful
view of the future. He says: "Business
is going to be better. Now that the tar
iff question has been settled for four
years, the money in the country, and
there is plenty of it, will promptly seek
opportunities of employment" That he
is right is apparent. Even here in Ad-
Olson county, people already feel better ;
and yet this is one of the last places to
be affected either by business depression
or Frightening.
The legislature did the fair thing in
giving to this college as much aid as was
extended to the university at Burlington.
The latter institution has been pretty
literally helped by the State in the past !;
and the fact that the legislature has pro-
vided for commission to see whether 1t
is best to establish an agricultural col
lege distinct from the university indicates
that suspicion exists as to whether the
university has made the best possible use
of the moneys given it.
If Gov. Proctor hasn't place in Gen.
Harrison's cabinet it will be because he
doesn't want it, not because he can't get
it. The New York Press, for instance,
says of him: "The Vermont Republicans
are vigorously pushing the claims of Red
field Proctor for position in Gen. Harri-
sons cabinet. EX-Gov. Proctor is at the
head of the great marble interests of that
State. and has been leading figure in
Vermont politics for some time. He has
been lieutenant-governOr and governor
of the State, and is talked of as a success
sor to Senator Edmunds, should that en-
inent statesman be promoted to higher
duties. He was chairman of the Yer
mont delegation at Chicago, and stood
by Harrison from the first ballot until he
was nominated. He is good and wor-
thy man in every respect"

THEY LEARN SLOWLY.

The solid South does not take kindly TO
new ideas. A copy of little Democrat
ic sheet printed in Pittsboro, Miss has
been handed us. 1t is one of the first
numbers after election. The editor be-
walls the result and concludes by saying
We are unqualifiedly committed to tar
iff reform, and believe it will triumph.
The way to secure the victory is to
Neverquit Democracy,
Nor lay your armor by,
Till Democratic victories
Are floating in the sky.
If the party will continue the struggle
and educate the public mind to under
stand tariff reform, victory will be GER
tain. and we predict that four years
hence we shall have cause to re]olce over
The success of the same issue that TINS
time brought US defeat. But, be that as
il NAV. we are not sorry the canvass was
made on the issue that led us TO defeat'
for it is nobler to die in the right than to
live in the wrong.
This is Just about what would proba-
bly have been said by one of the same
section fifty years ago. The South Is
largely for free-trade today, as it was
then. And they of that section are sure
it is right, just as they were morally Ger
tain of the righteousness of slavery unit
shown the truth by events. Perhaps
they will learn something about this tar
iff question in the same way.
