 We don't have winters like the pas often enough to keep.the people stirre' up in the matter of equalizing the burdel of road breaking, else something woul, be done. The old-sashioned way was t, have the work done by volunteers at n' cost to the towns, but now things are diff erent. The farmers don't have the bi. crowds of robust boys now, glad to turn ou and make a frolic of the work. The au thorities have done the work in village. where T. si Tents don't keep OK teams, ant the people of the rural districts demand pay for their time, or let the roads go un broken. And go unbroken they do, as usually selectmen do not allow for work done without orders. A few winters like this will demand legislative remedy; as it is the fields are resorted to avoid drifts and, the town not being liable for dam. ages when sleighs are broken in the fields, travellers avoid the districts of unbroken roads, physicians refusing often to go into where roaGs are not pas sable, so that in many cases real hardship ensues.
 -Bailiff Chapman met with @ serious injury from the resistance of HeEc': ly Adams, drunken rough, whom he was trying to arrest on Tuesday. Adams was making savage assault upon comrade in the street, near E. A. Buck X Co. s store, where Chapman is employed. Chap man interfered, as an officer, when Adams turned upon him. A struggle ensued, and George Fenton went to Chapman's the three falling. Adams got a severe confusion of the head from con- tact with sidewalk, and Chapman's shoul- der struck stone post, fracturing the collar bone. The officer attended to busi- ness, however, until the prisoner was in a cell, when for the first time he realized that he was hurt. Dr. Rafftery found that his collar bone was broken. He is out again, but it will be two or three weeks before he is able to use his shoul- der. At court held yesterday by Jus tice Turner, Adams was sent to jail for three months for drunkenness and three months for resisting the officer. while about two months more will be required to work out the costs.

 The village school closed on Friday 'f last week. In the grammar room there were no special exercises beside the ex- Lminations. In the primary room the lighest class, which was promoted into he other room, consists of Irwin Benia- min, Geneva Dimmick, Putnam Druley, Clarence Lasbury and Henry. Pero. The scholars were perfect in attend nee during the term: George Colburn, 4ottie Connor, Johnnie Hasset, Lena 1adish, Henry Pero and Gertrude Rock veil; not absent, but tardy once, Geneva )immick; absent one- half day only, Flor 'nce Troy. The term has been success ul one in both rooms, especially so when 'ne realizes the condition of the accom- nodations. The school house out of re- pair, the grammar room cold, the primary oom impossible to ventilate in cold and crowding thirty-six pupils nto room for which twenty would be a arge number; these and other inconven- ences make it a wonder that as good york is done as the condition of the school indicates. When we see that all the live tock of the Hollow-horses, COWS, pigs md hens-have quarters more comfort Ible and suitable for them than have the children for school purposes, then we see hat the committee on new building was lot appointed too soon. Itis to be hoped hat the children will not have to pass an- 'ther winter in that building. The school committee is waiting for an intimation rom the committee on new building that hey are ready with plans, when a meet ng will be called to consider them. [ -Wolcott Lodge, F. & A.
