Our readers will find the celebrated
tariff articles of W. E. Gladstone, the
great English champion of free trade,
and James G. Blaine of this country, on
the inside pages of this paper. Every
man should read the discussion.
Supervisor Stone wishes the MONITOR
to say to school teachers that they should
reckon Christmas and New Years in their
SHOOT registers as regular school days,
placing thereon the name of all regular
attendants. This is being done in other
counties.
Be careful about ''collapse;" the little
urchin who gave his teacher the follow
ing warning was about right after all:
ssYou will have to be awful careful when

/ will get the ammonia.
We understand that j. o. Robinson is
| to leave the Burnham farm and move to
| Newark soon. There was a pleasant
! gathering of relatives and friends at his
place recently in honor of the Goth birth
! day of Uncle Lyndon Robinson, who is
one of the oldest citizens in town.
The dwelling house of John Heating,
one mile south of this village, took fire
Saturday evening from the effects of
burning chimney and was destroyed. The
furniture in the house and the provisions
in the cellar were mostly saved. The
house was one of the oldest in town and
was not very valuable. There was an in
surance of $500 on it. a large number
from this village rallied to the fire and
helped clear the house of valuables.
We judge that much of the antipathy
first shown toward the new school law is
being overcome, in this county at least,
by the prompt action of Supervisor Stone
in adjusting matters of difficulty, meeting
the welfare of the schools. His genial
spirit and prompt methods are commend
able and are winning the favor of the
people. There is already an improve
ment in the schools under his administra
ton.
We understand that the Walter Hey
wood Chair Co. of Fitchburg, which has
been having some financial difficulties of
late, has decided to run the shops at
Fitchburg and their mill here, cutting out
and manufacturing the stock now on
hand. Orange Mossman who is running
the shop here proposes to push the work
for all it is worth till all the sock is cut
out here. The company is not insolvent
but expects to pay all debts and to real
ize dollar for dollar on the stock invested.

followed him this way and found him in
the road south of the village. He had
been here, snapped his stolen coat with
Lutte Fairbrother for goods out of the
store, and was leaving for parts unknown.
He was brought before Justice Barnard
and bound up for trial at the county
