DISTURBANCES INCHURCH.

What the CALIFORNIAN said last
week about disturbances by thought
less boys at church gatherings has
brought out a communication from
St. Johnsbury citizen who, while
deploring the fact that these distur-
Dances do occasionally occur, is of
the opinion that this evil could be
remedied if the church authorities, or
those who have charge of the meet
ings, will exercise little firmness and
give the boys to understand, once
for all, that such things will not be
allowed. The writer of the commun-
ication above referred to thinks that
the laxness and easy-going quality
of church authorities on such ,cca-
sions are often responsible fos any
such disturbances as those of which
mention was made last week. The
point is a good one, and should be
thoughtfully considered by those sin
authority" A careful development
of the trait of reverence on the part
of the young people will also prove
an excellent antidote.

A BUSINESS CHANGE.

The firm of Wilder, Noyes 81 Co.
has been dissolved by mutual con-
sent, Arthur Wilder, Mrs. Joanna
Wilder and Miss Mary A. Wilder
closing out their interest in the
concern. The firm was re-organized
under the firm name of A. B. Noyes
& Co., with A. B. Moves and Philip
H. Stone partners. Mr.. Noyes has
been one of the members of the firm
of Wilder, Moves & Co. since its or
ganization about four years ago and
is one of the brightest business men in
this community. Mr.. Stone is the
Youngest son of the late c. NJ Stone,
a young man of much promise, who
will undoubtedly develop the busi-
ness traits necessary to sharing the
responsibilities of such a large busi-
ness concern. The CALEDoNIAN wishes
the new firm the best of success.

ACADEMY NOTES.

ACADEMY NOTES.
The gymnasium for the young ladies
will soon be in working order, which
will afford them excellent opportuni
ties for physical culture.
The Academy opened for practical
work Tuesday at $50 a. m, with
an attendance nearly as large as that
of last term, while many more are
expected who have been detained at
home on account of what some call
grippe" Even some students are
not smart enough to escape its
clutches.
Prof. Bracket spent a part of
vacation in Worcester visiting the
institutions of various grade there.
from preparatory schools to Clark
university, where provision is made
for college graduates to pursue orig
inal research. He also visited Keene,
where he was principal of the high
school for several years before COM
ing to this place.
During the vacation a re-arrange-
ment has been made of tables, inks
and shelving in the laboratory, so
that work can be done with more
convenience and economy of time
and space. The places of the room
were formerly adapted merely to the
work of the instructor in illustrative
teaching, but now each pupil will
ha I'VE his or her own place for manipu
lation, with chemicals and apparatus
conveniently at hand. The room is
much too small for the needs of class
work, but is now as well adapted as
it can we'll be till an addition is
made.
