was rescued and is all right again.
s@A number of Abilene's singers

He broke through the ice while skating
on the river and was with difficulty
rescued by his companions.
gThe Sons of Veterans are making
an effort to raise a sufficient fund to en-
able the organization to equip full

is one thing that Abilene can find use
for.
@Geo. r. Herr, the well known

The following shows how the mail
service under the late administration
was worked or rather not worked at
all. Superintendent Bell says:
''In the Chicago Office we found
about 600 bags and pouches of mail
'unworked, which had lain in the
office from three to seven days. At
this time not an 'unworked' package
lies in that office over night. We found
that a large proportion-more than
half-of the mail which left New
York for Boston at 8 A. M. was not
distributed before it reached the lat
ter place, and that much of it waited
to reach the persons entitled to re-
ceiye it until the next mornings de-
livery by carrier, although the train
arrived at Boston at 3 80 p. M.
Now all the mail is distributed by the
time Boston is reached, and is ready
for the carriers delivery at 4 lis P.
M. There was delay also in the mail
which leaves New York at IL z. M.
and reaches Boston at 6:15 A. NJ,
and it was due to the same cause. A
good deal of that mail did not reach |
the persons to whom it was addressed |
until noon or later. Now all of that
mail is in the hands of the carriers or
in the boxes at the Post-office at A.
NJ" !

Meeting Of the County Board.

We are indebted to Rev. O. p.
Fuller, the member from this town.
for the following report:
"The members of Board of Education
Tor Windham county met at the court
house in Newfane Tuesday. May 9TH, ac-
cording to law. All the towns were rem
resented with the exception of Somerset.
The meeting was called to order and
temporary organization effected by the
appointment OF E. w. Stoddard of Brat
tieooro, chairman, and III. ID. Rider of
buckingham, clerk. The forenoon was
devoted to hearing the claims and letters
OF recommendation of the following can
didates for Supervisor: Geo. f. Spring
of Adams Mass. e. b. viney, Baldwins-
vile, Mass. c. p Hall, Hinsdale, N. H.;
IL. ii. Shaw, West Brattleboro and w.
l.. Gibson of Londonderry. At the OPEN
ing ofthe afternoon session :he Temporal
ry organization was made permanent.
An informal ballot was then taken for
supervisor with the following result
Hall, 8; Gibson, 6; Ward, 4; Russell 2;
Shaw, l; Wood l. A formal ballot was
then taken resulting in c. p. Hall having
IL, Gibson 8, Ward 3, Russell 2, and Hall
was declared elected, The vote was
made unanimous.
Capt Hall was born in New Hampshire
and is successful teacher and good or
ganizer, and has had the experience and
success that will qualify him for the i'm
portant position he is called to fill. He
is war veteran, 4s years of age and
at present Vice-President of the N. II.
Teachers Aaaociation. Good words were
spoken for our tomnsman, Mr.. Gibson

FOR SHAME.

AS will be seen, elsewhere, the
Windham County Board of Educa-
ton that convened at Newfane on
Tuesday went out of the State to
choose a County Supervisor of
schools. 1t seems astounding-al-
most past belief-that a board of
Windham county men, composed of
one member from each town, should
ignore the claims and qualifications of
many of its own citizens and 90, not
only outside the county, but beyond
the limits of the State, to find man
to be trusted with the supervision of
our schools. 1t is alleged that the
job was cooked up by Brattleboro
and Bellows Falls, and was all fixed
prior to the assembling of the Board.
Of the truth of this charge we know
nothing, but It does seem that some
" ways that are dark must have been
resorted to to bring about such a re-
suit. However, it is possibly fitting
conclusion coming from law that is
thoroughly detested by nine tenths Of
the citizens of Vermont, as it will
only add to this intense hatred and
insure its early repeal.
