THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

and Institute ASSOCIATION began It's
fourth annual session at Opera Hal
in this village, Aug. 9TH, under the
direction of the Executive Committee

man. Quite large number from this

emit at the opening. The meeting was
opened by devotional exercises, con-
Quoted by Rev. f. w. Lewis. The
School held sessions forenoon and af-
ternoons during the week, except

County, and L. NJ. JENNIE Of Enos-
burgh Falls, arrived on Saturday and
will participa tie in the work this week
The whole number of teachers
enrolled is not quite equal to that
of last year for the first week, but the
interest manifested in the work has
never been better.
NOTES
We intended to have given in this
issue full account of the work done
last week from copy furnished oy the
teachers and lecturers themselves, but
some of them were too busy to furn
ish the work in season, and We defer
the matter till next week, when we
will try and give the whole work of
the school, together with the roll Of
attendance and other matters of in
terest.
The attendance of teachers is quite
large and embraces most of the best
known in the county and vicinity.
Among those connected with the more
important schools we mention Mr..
Hazen, county examiner, principal of
Craftsbury academy; Mr.. VIM. Hazen
of Richmond, principal of Hyde Park
academy: w. D. Parsons, examiner of
Essex county and principal of Island
Pond graded school; Mr.. F. j. Stew
art, teacher in Morrisville graded
school; Misses Evans, Hume and
Hoffman of Lyndonville school; Miss
Locke of the Barton graded school.
The services rendered by instruct
ors Hall, Stone and Mrs. Ferry during
the week were very acceptable, and
the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted: ResolUed, That this |
Association express it's appreciation
of the excellent instruction given |
during the past week by Mrs. Ferry,
Mr.. Hall and MIR. Stone, and our re- |
greet at their necessary departure.
We are afraid the people in |
general do not quite understand that /
they are cordially invited to be pres
ent at the lectures given in the even
ing. These lectures are very inter
esting and useful and our people can
not afford to lose them.
social interview was had at the hall on
Friday night, and on Saturday an ex
oursion to Willoughby was participate
ed in by such as chose to go. There
will be entertainments on Wednesday
and Friday evenings of this week.
The following letter was prepared
and addressed to Hon. O. III. Austin,
now very i'll and away at the beach in
1uest of health:
