by the act of the Legislature, December,
1880, and this volume will contain sup
plement for several towns of this county,
and Others Of the State. This work has
been one of great labor and pains-taking,
and for various reasons the principal one,
the declining health Of the editor,
has been long delayed. The State has
taken deep interest in it by acts from

legislation that individuals, libraries,

The above mentioned committee asked
the Association for $4,000 to carry on
its part of the work for the next year,
and in less than an hour $4,000 was
subscribed.
The above figures give us an idea of
the magnitude of the work of which our
local association is very small part,
yet it is just such parts that make up the
whole.
We have not space at our disposal to
even touch upon the work accomplished
at this convention. We can only say
that it was of incalculable value to those
present, and to the local associations,
and that your secretary has come back
revived, re-enthused, and with any num-
Der of fresh ideas which it is hoped may
be worked out to the benefit of our asso-
citation.

agreements packages will be practically

will therefore be reduction in rates.
IT is now hoped that the exercises of
Commencement week will be more
varied and interesting than ever before
held in the history of the school. A
large part of the week will be taken up
in various exercises and exhibitions ar
ranged to show the public what the
school is doing in various lines of work
On Monday and Tuesday of Commence
ment week at hours TO be hereafter an
nounced public oral examination of
classes will be held in the Hall, includ-
| ing all schools from No. to the High
school. There will be oral reviews of
the years work, conducted by the teach
ers, in Arithmetic, Grammar, GeOgra-
ply, Reading, Physiology, Latin, Greek,
English Literature, History, Botany, ETC.,
and as many of the public as choose to
attend, and come and go at pleasure, will
be cordially welcome. In addition there
will be an afternoon devoted to music
and exercises by primary children, an
evening to prize speaking, public exer-
cises with interesting programmes in
every school on Friday afternoon, and
the regular exercises Of the graduates on
Friday evening In several of the
schools there will be interesting exhibit
lions of school work, mostly the manual
work Of the pupils. In this line we feel
very certain that part of the work will
surpass anything of the kind ever before
shown in VermOnt.-The Star. The fol-
lowing suggestion, added to the above,
will apply to many other schools as well I:
''If some Of the people who have never
been in the school under its present
management, who are absolutely ignO-
rant Of its work, but who profess to
know 80 much about it, can find courage

effort is being made by spectators at
Standing Rock to close negotiations
with Sitting Bulls two widows for
the purchase of the dead chieftain's
cabin for exhibition purposes. Spec
ulators believe they could make mint
of money should they gain possession
OF it, but by the looks OF things it will
take snug sum to buy it. The old
building is utterly valueless for any
other purpose, and has been deserted
since the memorable battle, the Indians
having a superstitious dread Of ap-
preaching it. The squaws will no doubt
ask $4,000 and undoubtedly get their
price. An eastern photographer has

raging with great severity along the
and it is almost impossible for tho train
men to endure the suffo eating smoke in
some parts OF the mountain passes. In
the vicinity OF Clarendon great trouble
was experienced in keeping the
fire away from the town. AT Shelf
field the owners of the oil derricks are
fighting fires and thus far have managed
to save everything except two or three
rigs. At Ludlow the mountains arc
full of fire. At Wilcox the fires are
running up one side Of the mountain
and down the other Around Johnson
burg and Ridgeway tho fires are raging
furiously. but the timber does not come
in close to the towns and they are not
in imminent danger Game, including

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 6.--Upon
instructions from Washington, United
States Marshall Cord has seized the
ship Elata, suspected OF being a supply
ship for vessels of Chilean insurgents.
Her captain, Mauseum, was placd under
trrest but was allowed to
emain on board his vessel
which is in charge OF deputy
marshals. Two tug boats have
been dispatched to seize two suspicious
crafts that have been lowering off this
port. One OF these Is believed to be
the schooner Robert. and Minnie, here
toforo. .reported off Caroline Islands ladsa.
with arms and ammunition. The other Is
O war vessel, presumably awaiting
supplies to be brought out by the
Elata. Both vessels will be seized IL
they can be captured within the throe-
mile limit 1t Is believed that the plan
which was interrupted by the seizure OF
tho Elata was for that vessel to load with
sIppleJ, meot the schooner and take
on board arms and ammunition and
transfer tho ontire cargo to
the insurgents' cruiser on the
olen sea, No word has been received
from the tugs in chase Of the two ves-
sells.
