CENTERvILLE.-The winter term of school
held at CenterVille closed Friday last, Herbert
Fairbanks teacher. We think we express the
voice of all in this section when we say that
we have had a very successful term. Herbert
has given general satisfaction, and hopes are
entertained that his services may be secured
again, He is young man of more than or
dlnary ability, possessing rare gifts and
winning ways with his pupils, and added to
this a gentlemany aud courteous manrar
Possessed with an aptness to teach, and de- |
voting himself entirely to his studies, we pre-
dict for him a success far above and more |
elevated than his present hopes. The success
which has crowned his efforts here we earnest |
ly hope may be enjoyed in all places where it !
may be the good fortune of those who shalIin !
the future secure his services.-Mrs, William |

Notwithstanding the very PLEASANT
weather the attendance at Town |
meeting was not as large as usual. |

old board is reelected, and that their
work has been acceptable is proved
by this reelection. For Auditors, H.
D, W, Doty, b. f. Bullard and w.
Brigham. This as will be seen is a
Democratic board, but they can be
depended upon to reduce the surplus
on all exorbitant accounts that may
be brought before them, Hon. K.

the public money. For Fence Viewers
some fan was created by selecting the
writer as chairman of the board" "
