A petition having been re- ceiyed from the residents of Lake George asking that an appropriation be made them it was voted that the board pro- vide q way of furnishing the children a school. The most eXpedient and ecO- nomical was to provide a way of convey ing the pupils to Lands End district where it was thought they would re- ceive better schooling than they would to reopen Lake George school for only a short season. Mir Beers was named a committee to make the necessary ar rangements. Under the new law of last winter 1t Is necessary to make change or adopt new textbook on phy siology and hygiene or else lose the school diVi- dend from the state. The necessary mo- tice was given and d new book will prob ably be adopted at n future meeting. The law requires book for inteTmedi- ate and primary pupils that shall give at least onc-fifth of their space to the consideration of the nature and effects of alcoholic drinks and narcotics and the books used in the higher grades shall contain at least 20 pages of matter relating to this subject. It was also voted to call the attention of the select men to Chapter 203, Section l, of school laws, relating to flags for school dis tricts and request that they be forth coming. Each district is entitled to a flag and the law plainly states ''that it shall be the duty of the selectmen to provide on or before the first day of De- tober, 1893 each school house not already supplied with a United States flag of silk or bunting not less than four feet in length, and a suitable flag staff whereby such flag may be displayed on the school house grounds every school day when the weather will permit, and to renew such flag and apparatus from time to time when necessary"

SOME BRIDGEWATER STORIES.

Your Roxbury correspondent does very well on the eel question, but the eel was too small and should not have been picked quite so early. We had the pleasure of bagging two, which together weighed eight pounds and five ounces, the larger one four and one half pounds, and the smaller three pounds and 13 ounces. The larger one was 45 1-2 iuches in length and nearly Il inches in circumference. Next! Enclosed please find sample of our snake crop! Don't send another ore.

TAKE HOLD AND HELP.

We are glad to hear that the sewer spoken of in these columns few weeks ago, is likely to be built, everybody, or al- most everybody, falling in with the idea. As usual there are some who do not see the need of it, but probably the day will come when they, too, may be glad to use it, which we have no doubt they will be permitted to do by paying we'll for it. The time to help is when help is needed. We hope every one will have enough vil- laee pride to take hold now and not wait until their help is not needed.

Don't wait if you want to buy good stock at cheap prices, reader. We give below some of the advantages of buying birds in the fall. Here they are: The breeder has larger stock on hand from which to select. He has more birds than he can accommodate and will 'sthin out' at sacrifice. As business is dull at this season, he can do 8 better part for you. If he is compelled to keep his stock over until spring he will add the extra expense, and if eggs are in demand he will not sell at all. In the spring the yards are made up and the breeder will not break his matings. Hens and pull lets of any breed are seldom to be had in the spring. By buying young birds now you may get the best, as the best birds cannot be we'll selected until they are matured. Cockerels are in excess now, you cannot appoint better time than the present to secure one.-TD. T. II.

AT THE FALLS.

Down at the Falls, Jay TyrreIl is tending to all the cider apples that comeshis way in press of his own get up. It consists of cross beam and two twin screws and with it he can make cider as fast as the best Of them and get as much juice from the apples. The sh1ngle mill has been busy thistall and he has already cut up over 100000 shingles. The prospects are for a busy season at the saw mill, as there are many who have already spoken for the saving of their timber.
 Four eels were recently caught at the Falls that weighed Is pounds. The eels are said to be larger than usual, this season.
 Who can beat this? Jay Tyrren had in hls front yard limb on one of his apple trees, not over 12 inches i'll length, that bore II apples that weighed in all three and a half pounds. It was sight to behold.
