DEAR SIRs: In view OF the sppli-
cation Of Bridgton Academy, Gould
Academy and other academies Of
hiRh standing for State aid, permit me TO
call the attention OF your readers to some
considerations which seem TO me to estab.
lish the justice of their claim.
The question how far State aid should be
given to institutions Of learning is a broad
and open one, which do not propose to d.
CUES. That whatever aid 10 given should
be fairly distributed between the various
classes in the community is q proposition
so obvious that il does not require dis
cussion.
Now with respect 10 opportunities for
education the community may be divided
into two classes--ihose who live within
two or three miles Of free high school
and those who are unable to attend free
high school and at the same time board at
home.
Inssmuch ~ the State is committed
to 4 considerable expenditure in aid
Of the education Of those who
live in or near the cities and larger villages,
it is an act Of simple justice to grant the
comparatively small sum necessary 10 keep
alive and render efficient The few academies
of high grade and achieved reputation
which afford the opportunity of an educa.
tion 1t slight expense TO the sons and
daughters Of the farmer. Board asd lodg
ing can be secured at these academies nj
much less expense than in the cities, and
The students can board themselves with the
help Of supplies brought frequently from
their neighboring homes.

WAsHINGroS, Jan. 3l.-Now that the
Elections Bill is dead letter business in
Congress will probably proceed with unus-
ual despatch. The Apportionment Bill has
slready passed both Houses and will be-
come Q law before this letter reaches you,
and the Appropriation bills will follow with
similar despatch unless some unforeseea
hitch should take place. Neither party
seems to desire an extra session. and there
fore there will be general desire to pass.
at least, the necessary bills and such others
as meet the approval OF the conservatives
of both parties. The Silver Bill will
meet with strong opposition in the
House and it is now doubtful il its
friends can secure strength enough to
pass it. Even then there will be
such amendments tackled on as will require
concurrence on the part of the Senate.
which, in view of the short period Of the
session remaining, would be likely to leave
the bill in mid air when the session closes.
The petitions against it now coming in from
all quarters of the country, from the con-
seIvative financial circles is having great
weight, and will add to the opposition de-
valr nod

morning at 7.S0 and preceded
by the Citizens Cornet Band OF 10
pieces, they marched to the station
and boarded the 7.49 train. As the
firemen passed through the streets
their orderly and neat appearance
was the cause of many words OF
nraise. The band discoursed sweet
music and to the inspiring strains
marched the following members Oh
the Volunteer.

gineer. Geo. s. Hopkins; First assist

Arriving in Wilmington the volun-
teers marched to the City Hall where
thew were welcomed by Mayor Wiley
in a neat little speech which was re-
piled to by President Taylor in his
usual good style. They then march
ed to the engine house OF Ph@n1x'
Co., No. 4, by whom they were royalty
entertained. In the line the Mid
dletown boys occupied place be-
tween the Niagara Fire Association
of Philadelphia, and the Weccac4 OF
Wilmington. two of the largest and
best equipped companies in the
| parade. The Middletown company,
although outnumbered, made q very
creditable appearance and attracted
attention all along the line. They
numbered twenty-four men who were
attired in fatigue uniform. The re-
mark which was the oftenest heard
was to the effect that they were a fine
looking lot of men.
The Volunteers had with them
their Hose carriage, and the new
Hook and Ladder Truck, an equip
ment second to that of no company
/ in the line who depended solely upon
themselves for support. The Citl'
zen,s Cornet Band which accompan-
led the firemen, although not uni
formed, furnished the necessary mu'
sic in good style and attracted the at
tention of musicians by their fine
performance. When the Volunteers
passed Tenth and Market streets
their attention was attracted by an
| unearthly noise emenating from an
old style watchman's rattle welded
| by the hand of stalwart young
Attorney who resides not far from
Middletown. An answering cheel
| rent the air and the rattle was held
| in check until the City officials came
along when it was again brought into
use. Every one was pleased with the
trip, and the only thing which marree
the pleasure of the day was the over
sight by which President Taylor wal
| left out of the parade. The Volun
teer's are home again, and the towr
will now be more zealously guarded
than ever before. A trip of this kind
encourages the firemen and they
learn much from the men whom they
meet which will be of future use.
