very liable to pull off more.
Strikers in Tennessee have forced
the governor to call out the militia
and a pitched battle resulted, with
some loss of life and dispersion of
the mob. In Buffalo, n. Y, the strike
switchmen set fire to freight cars and
several hundred were burned. They
continue their lawless work with a
prospect that the militia will take a
hand in the matter soon
We mentioned the fact last week

Mr.. Chase of the Lyndon Union takes
es occasion to sharply criticise the
st. Johnsbury people fornot making a
bid large enough to cause the Peer
less Manufacturing Co. to locate at
that place. Thank you Mr.. Chase for
all that is complimentary to this place.
Our people know good thing when
they see it, and take advantage of
opportunities when it is possible to
do SO.
We close this week our account of
School. We got little more than we
bargained for when we undertook to
report it so much in detail, but the re-
port of the work ought to be of inter
est and real value to teachers and
school people all around. The educa-
tional interests of the state are among
the most important with which men
are called upon to deal.

At the town meeting, held last Mon
day, Lucretius NJ Hubbard was chosen

it will be at a convenient place in

very obliging man and good pen
man. He will soon familiarize him
self with the business.
