The Second District UonventIop,

Tuesday over one hundred members of
the Mason fraternity met at Arlington
in Annual Convention. 1t was very
enthusiastic gathering, and the hospitali-
ty of Red Mountain Lodge, was gener-
ously extended to all who came. Among
the visiting brothers were several from
Cambridge, MY, and from the Rutland
district. The Rev, VIM Bogert Walker.
d. D. G. NJ, presided The following
grand officers were present: K. w. John
II. Whipple, Manchester Centre, d. G.

master in the chair. The Second degree
followed by Red Mountain Lodge. w.
G. M. Brownson, master in the chair.
These two lodges worked so closely to
the ritual that the Grand Lecturer
spoke of the work as the best he had
seen this year. Supper was served at
Warmers at $50. Mine host laid him
self out proud and ample justice was
done the fine banquet The evening
session was devoted to the Third degree,
which was worked by Mt. Anthony
Lodge, w. Edward d. Bennett, master
in the chair. Tie anthem was rendered
by quartette: NJ. B. Morgan, JIM
Burt, f. g. Mattison and Th0s. A. Hut
chins, with +. ID. Ranney, Organist. The
music was the setting of the Temple
quartette of Boston, and it is safe to saw
that the Grand Officers in no other dis
trict in the State hear this part rendered
in as fine manner. Letters of regret
were received from the NJ. w. Grand
Master, Delos NJ. Bacon, from r. w.
Daniel ~ Nicholson, G.. J.W., from Past
Grand Masters Hall, Perkins, aud Others.
Speeches followed and the convention
closed at 1l.30, after a most enjoyable
session. We believe that our district is
the banner jurisdiction for accuracy of
floor work, the Grand Lecturer himself
being the Judge.

The ladies and friends of the auxiliary
met in special session Monday afternoon
at the rooms. The rain and slippery con-

frankie Green, like some Others at
other times, narrowly escaped being in
jured while coasting the other day.
H. T. Cushman has been on a business
trip to Fitchburg, Mass, which will
probably result in some new machinery,
to be set in the busy stone mill.
The many stories, with reference to the
change of proprietor of the Riverside
grst mill, to not appear to have very re-
liable foundations. A visit to the mill a
day or two since, resulted in meeting
Mr.. Henry, as usual, busy in waiting up
on customers and supplying the hoppers
with food for the revolving stone jaws,
before sending it around to satisfy the
not less hungry jaws of man and beast.
The Literary Club met with Mrs. Hi
land Hall, Wednesday evening. The
subject, French History" was made at
tractive by those who had parts assigned
and especial attention was paid to the
settlement of our country by that Nation
and the English. The prominent actors
in its history, Chorlemorze, Richelieu,
VOlain, Louis XIV, and Napoleon. in
their several spheres, were discussed
with much interest
The late rain has again filled the
for manufacturing purposes for short
time. The Walloomsac was greatly
swollen, and at Riverside, below the
bridge, the ice damned up so as to set
the water back, OVERLOOKING the banks
and leaving large blocks of ice one tO>two'
feet thick on the shore. When the jam
gave way the sides of the channel and
parts usually covered by high water were
piled with cakes of ice thrown into con-
fusion, and presents an Immense gorge.
The coasting has never been better
than for several days past, and it is
doubtful if it was ever better improved.
There seems to be a good supply of
dOube-r9nners, as they are called, which,
with the single sleds, give room for all
who desire the fun, and so the streets
have been gay with coasters far into the
evenings, in the various directions which
the hills of the village give for such
amusement. There have been, so far,
very few accidents, and none of serious.
nature.
The sleeper on leaving the depot yard,
Wednesday morning, was derailed near
the residence of j. o. Bangs. The
switch by some carelessness had been left
open, and the train of six cars run off all
the cars as we'll as the engine keeping
erect, though passing over a cattle
guard. The unevenness of the road bed,
by the late rain was filled in with ice,
which helped vastly to ease the ride over
the ties, and prevented injury to the
train and passengers. Mrs McCarthy,Of
the hotel, was diligent in supplying din
ner pals for the use of the busy hands
who were enabled to get the train off for
Troy at 1870 o'clock a. m. Passengers
who had sweetly slumbered during the
work of getting the cars upon the track,
came out rubbing their eyes and asking,
'Where are we?" "What is the name of
this station?' etc. 1t is not proposed to
try the experiment again.

The County Examiner.

Professor A. G. Ferrin of Burr and
Burton Seminary, having been appointed
County Examiner of Teachers TO succeed
Superintendent Charles S. Davis whose
term of Office expired Nov 3Oth, the lat
ter wrote his successor in regard to turn
ing oyer the effects of the Office. In re-
ply Prof Ferrin sent the following:
MANCHESTER, VT. Jan. 30th, 1898.

Your letter has remained unanswered
some time. was awaiting the package
of blank certificates, thinking to ac-
knowledge their receipt. have not re-
ceived them, and as State depart
Dent has sent me some it does not mat
ter.
The County Examiners work is not
very exacting, yet l realize that this year
is to be an exceedingly important one in
the educational interests of the State,
and shall hope for the cooperation of all
the teachers in the county, and there is
no one in the county from whom | can
expect so much as from yourself.
With your experience in educational
matters have felt, and so expressed my
self, that no one in the county would
have been better fitted for the Office of
Examiner during this administration,
WllUu blO now law 10 " OC lllNluuuNtus
But as / have received the appointment,
l shall hope to have the privilege of
drawing upon you for advice and help.
We ought to have an Institute before
long, when 1 trust your aid will be
great help to us.
Very truly yours,
A. G. FERRIN.
This letter is but just tribute to Mr.
Davis as an educator, and to his success
as Examiner of Teachers in this county
for the last two years. When Mr.. Davis's
term of Office expired the BANNER spoke
of his excellent work. We are glad to
see this endorsement of our words. He
made a successful examiner and no sug-
.gestion criticism of his work has come
to us from any source. His long expert
ence in school management, his familiar
ity with modern education and improved
methods of teaching, as well as what he
has done to interest teachers in this
county in such methods, make it, as the
above letter implies, a matter of regret
that Mr.. Davis was not retained, for
time at least, in the Office which he filled
with so much success.
