The winter term of the High School
will close after three more weeks. The
graduating class contains eleven scholars
three of whom intend to enter Bowdoin
the coming autumn and one VIII Sc pre-
ference is Amherst. The past year has
been very prosperous one, and the
teachers and scholars have done excellent
work.
The question of a new town hall will
be presented at the annual town meeting.
Many are in favor of building whose

those traits of character which made her
welcome wherever there was sickness or
suffering. She will long be remembered
by those about her, and by those whom
she had kindly assisted in many Affections
as noble hearted, true woman.

9th with an excellent entertainment.
The recitations were pleasing while the
garden scene in which were the smiling

centres of immense sunhowers, was en-
loved by all. The entertainment closed
with the farce entitled 1.-THE Vermont
