VERMONT ACADEMY.

The new school year at Vermont Acad-;
envy opens Sept. 9th. The prospects are
very bright for full attendance and a
prosperous year. The Academy is well
equipped in every way. The library is
growing fast, about 200 volumes of stan
dard works having been added the past
year. The foundations of the new libra
ry building will soon be laid. The
building will be unique in style, pleasing
to the eye, and admirably suited to its
purpose. 1t will contain reading-room
of ample size, and room for large num-
Der of volumes, the plan being arranged
so that in future, if desired, an addition
can be made without marring the origi-
nal design.
The music department will be in eX-
cellent hands, as heretofore. Miss jose
phine Hogs of Boston will continue in
charge of the vocal music, and Miss Mar
garet ID. Scarburgh, a young lady of
high culture and refinement, and skillful
in instruction, will take the piano work.
The same methods of instruction as last
year will be used. so that there will be
no break from a change of teachers.
Miss Fannie r. Kingsley of Rutland, a
graduate of the Emerson School of Ora
tory, in Boston, has been engaged as in
structor in Elocution and Physical Gull
ture. This will put Vermont Academy
easily first in regard to these branches,
and marks another distinct step in ad-
vance in the work of the school.
In short it is the intention of the friends
of the school to make its work of the
very highest order along all lines. While
music, art, elocution, military drill, and
physical culture, will be given promi-
nence, yet in both the classical and aca-
demic departments, the courses arranged
and the instruction shaped, so as to give
most thorough and systematic training
in preparation for college and for busi-
ness, or professional life. Nor is the
student who comes for term, or year,
neglected. The thought is not lost sight
of, that most important part of the
work of the school is to give instruction
to the boys and girls of Vermont in a
way to make them better prepared for
their life-work, whether humble or ex-
allied. In this the school has mission
of great Importance which must by nc
means be neglected.
The graduates of Vermont Academy
take high rank in college. Michigan adj
mits her graduates on certificate, a privi-
lege thus far granted to no other New
England school. Amherst admits oul
graduates in all subjects, privilege
granted to only about dozen othel
schools. In short the work of the Acad-
envy is recognized as first-class by col
lege men, and first rank is given to it by
those best able to Judge of it.
New buildings will soon be needed,
and future is surely before the school
of which Vermont may be justly proud.

DISGRACEFUL.

Such case of brutal treatment of a
dumb brute as was witnessed by resi-
dents and passers by, Tuesday afternoon,
on Westminster street, near the top of
the hill, leading up from the Square, is
not often, and ought never, to be fur
nished to the people of any community.
The parties to this transaction were a
fine large grey horse on one side and a
driver on the other, who had evidently
no control over himself, therefore unfit
to have charge of a beast always ready
to do his masters bidding, if he only
knows what that may be. The horse
had for some reason incurred his dis
pleasure and the way in which he pounded
the animal was simply brutal. Such an
occurrence in any town where there was
a " Society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals" would most certainly have
resulted in the man being arrested. 1t
is reported on good authority that this
is not the first time the same man has
been guilty of like offence, though not
carried to the same extent. We have
ourselves witnessed several exhibitions
of like character on the streets of Bel
lows Falls which caused us to express
the wish that there might soon be here,
one of those often maligned, but as
suredly most humane of all societies, an

may confidently expect that the Syndi-
cate have made no mistake in securing
them for their next number, although in
doing so they assume heavy RESPONSE
bility. The scene of the play is located
in one of the southern cities occupied by
the United States forces during the slate

none other than purely war drama.

President brought his microscopic eye
to bear upon him. Outside Of Brook

no show before the public. There is

improved, that he is in good writing con-
