and Cleveland, Ohio, before returning

MOrrisville's very numerous must
cal talent is augmented by a juvenile
drum corps with an undoubted bril-
liant future. The striplings have
taken it up wholly without instruc-
ton and really pound the skins quite
creditably.
The town of MOrristown pays a
State school tax of $526.SO, receiv-
ing therefrom $64O.5O, a gain of
| $113.7O. The State highway tax
amounts to $526.SO. With 95 miles
of highway the town draws $567.62,
a gain of $3O.S2.
Rev. Mr.. Nanton has been in North
field attending camp meeting. On
Sunday he occupied his former pulpit
at Williamstown, in exchange with
Rev. III. F. Reynolds, who presented
two very interesting sermons in the
M. E. church here Sunday.
A team of horses hitched to lum-
Der wagon, belonging to Julius Bliss,
relieved the mOnotony of the village
last Friday afternoon by running
away. They started at the depot
and brought up at Whitney's mill,
without damage to anything.
The meeting of the United Workers
of the Cong'l church was we'll attend
ed on Friday afternoon at the vestry.
Supper was served at six o'clock and
the semi-annual election of officers
took place. In the evening HI. A.
Slayton gave an informal talk on
Paris.
P. Cobb, Jr., has resigned his po-
sition as travelling salesman for [. A.
White & Co., and III. c. Lloyd, who
has been connected with the firm for
three years as head book-keeper, will
fill the position. Mr. Lloyd is an en-
ergetic young man and will make
successful knight of the grip"
The service at the Congl church on
Sunday evening was given up to the
rendering of songs used at the great
Montreal convention, and compre-
hensive reports given by Rev. and
Mrs. Seymour, and the Misses Brack-
EFT, Josie Slayton and Jessie Slayton.
Mrs. Seymour presided at the organ.
Bakersfeld's crack base ball team
went fairly wild with delight on Fri
day because, by trifing balance Of
marks, they took a game from has
tily picked up team made up mostly
of Morrisville infants just weaned
from lactated food. Surely it was
an heroic victory worthy the loud
mouthed demonstration of the battle
SCARED victors.
The post-office was entered by a
thief or thieves on Friday night last,
resulting in total receipts of about
two dollars to the aforesaid gentry.
The breaking was done from the adj
joining hallway in the Hendee & Fisk
building, and the door which opens
was made to look as though a regi-
ment of artillery had been practicing
shooting at short range. Reaching
the outside office an attempt was
made to force open the inner door,
but without success. A chair was
placed at the door and the cornice
scaled by the agile burglar, who
dropped to the floor inside and placed
Mr.. Earle's office chair close to the
door ready for an exit in the same
order, but evidently something Oc
Cured to brighten away the operat-
ors before damage was done the safe,
as the departure was evidently made
through the back window, and that
quite hastily, as a very heavy iron
bar, four sizes of blacksmith's ham,
mers, bit and brace, chisel and rim
mer, were left behind, a very fortu-
nate departure for Mr. Earle, for the
safe would very likely have been bad
ly damaged if not entered. AS it was,
only two dollars in change from the
stamp drawer was taken. No stamps, |
stamped envelopes or postal cards |
are missed, and a box of newspaper
money on a lower shelf was not dis
turbed, showing that no light was
used. The tools used, or Il part of
them, were taken from VIM. Cuttings
shop on Pleasant street.
The following item from Monson,
Mass, paper, concerning Prof. Dus-
tan, a former principal of Peoples |
Academy, will be read with interest |
by his many friends in this place.
The decision of Principal Dustan to accept |
the offer of the principalship of Tabor acad- |
envy at Marion, will remove from Monson a |
man whose work in behalf of Monson acad |
envy, at a somewhat critical period of its his
tory, has been attended with marked and be- |
nifcent results.
For six years past Mr.. nustan has given his |
thought and toll without stint, to the work |
of building up and directing the institution |
entrusted to his charge, Hammond hall as a |
feature of the academy life. in very large |
10, 4 f.Nl
His influence in winning favor for the acad |
envy and funds for its treasury have been de- |
cided. He has seen the number of its nom |
resident pupils increased more than three-fold, |
a material increase both of the permanent |
funds and of the annual income, the enlarge |
ment of the faculty, and broadening OF the
facilities and courses of study, and in the |
measures which have led to this gain in the |
condition of the school, he has borne his full |
share.
With unfagging zeal he has sought to pro-
mote the welfare of the school and to broad |
en- the scope of its influence and in a good de-
gree he has succeeded. Monson pays the pen
atty of his success in this line, by seeing his
services sought by other schools, and now by |
yielding him to the call of a munifcently en-
dowed academy with a more extended field
from which to draw pupils, but which is in |
need of having done for it the work of reor-
ganization and enlargement which he has
done here.
Mr.. Dustan's general qualities will commend
him to the favor of the constituency of the in
stitution whose leadership he has consented
to assume Monson academy will be fortu-
nate il, with the means at it's command, it can
secure the services of a man who can render it
a better service than has been rendered by
the retiring principal.
Both Mr.. and Mrs Dustan will be greatly |
missed when they withdraw from the life of
the place into which they have entered with
so much zest. They will be followed to their
new field of labor by the good wishes of the
pupils and other friends of the academy and
of the community generally.
