SOME POST OFFICE FIGURES.

Business at the st. Johnsbury post
Office was not really dull during the
year 1892. The receipts were $12,-
5S9.75, or about $500 more than
for the year 1891.
Six years ago St. Johnsbury did an
$4,000 business at her post Office
three years ago the receipts touched
the $4,000 mark, which ensured the
free delivery system; in 1891 they
went up to $12,1SO.
1t is very gratifying to note that
the figures are on the up grade, for
there is something pleasant about
business that is being done on an
ascending scale. The securing ol
other desirable industries here would
add to the post office figures as we'll
as to figures in other lines of business
where Uncle Sam does not get all the
profits.
The money order business during
the year included 5000 orders,
foreign and domestic, aggregating
$50 900 +; and 5000 valuable register,
ed letters were handled.

A COLD LOT OF FIGURES.

Everybody has known it was cold
during the past few weeks. The
head of the family who kept late
hours sitting up" with his furnace
knew it, the plumber knew it, the
coal dealer knew it. But for all
that. a glance at some of the
thermometer markings as reported
from Bingham's observatory" will
not be uninteresting at this time.
Up to December 18 last the wealth
er had been enjoyably mild. On that
date occurred the first startling
drop, when mercury went to TO-
below zero and the community
awoke to the fact that winter had
arrived. On the 10th and goth ults.
the thermometers morning marks
were 80 and 70 above zero-which
were the only two mornings during
the 81 days between Dec. 18 and
Tuesday, inclusive, when the mer-
curry was above zero at the morning
inspection of the thermometer. The
figures, beginning with Dec. 20, are
decidedly cool, ranging from 80 to
2S0 below zero: the average morn
ing record during that time was 130
below zero.
Several times in the past 25 years
the mercury has dropped to 40 be-
low zero, but there has been no
length to these cold periods. Christ
mas morning, Dec. 25, 1872, the
mercury registered 40 below zero
and a spirit thermometer went sew
eral degrees lower. The highest
point the mercury reached that day
was is degrees below zero. Prob
ably this was the coolest day for
many years, but last week Wednes-
day the mercury was IL below zero
at O'Clock and laterit moderated
to 6 below zero.

This was the entertaining combin-

tinuing till eight O'Clock the company
adjourned to the vestry, where Col.
Franklin Fairbanks lectured on Mex
leo, giving an interesting account Of
that country and its people and
their customs aud characteristics as
observed by him during recent trip
through that section. Quite nun.
Der OF pictures which had been taken
by the kodak process were thrown
upon a sheet bv steropticon and
added materially to the enjoyment
of the lecture, bringing out many
features of life in Mexico.

A SCIENTIFIC TREAT.

The lecture in the Y. M. c. A.
course last Friday evening was one
of those scientific treats that are
rarely presented to st. Johnsbury
audience. Prot ]. B. DeMotte, who
delighted large audience last year,
spoke upon Electricity" and pre-
sented a most interesting series Of
experiments to illustrate the more
recent developments in electrical in
vestigation. The first half of the
lecture was of an historical nature
and the speaker had thrown upon
the screen pictures of the early inves-
tigators, including Davy, Faraday
and others. Then followed series
Of interesting experiments illustrat-
ing the motion Of waves of sound,
electricity, color and heat The de-
composition Of water was shown on
the screen and also q series of won
derful experiments with sound waves.
Many of the experiments were the
results of the professors own inves-
legations and had not been shown in
audience rooms until very recently.
A glorious future was predicted
for electricity and Prof. DeMotte
thought we had just begun to reap
the commercial benefits OF scientific
investigation. The low temperature
OF the hall was the only drawback
to perfect enjoyment of the lecture

Low WATER.

The water in the Passumpsic is so
low that owners of water wheels are
cramped for power The eight own
ers of the water power at Paddock
village met Tuesday evening to see
what arrangement could be made
for dividing the time for using the
water so as toleast Inconvenience the
shops dependent on water for
power. They chose Horace Randall
to have general charge of the dam,
and he will give each owner.a share
of the water part of the time each
day. Some repairs are also to be
made upon the dam. The village
has been using the steam pump for
a week past, as the river is too low
to allow the use of their wheels.

OUR Village AND THE TOWN
SCHOOL SYSTEM.

The individual existence Of school
district No. 1, which includes st.
Johnsbury village, will cease on April
1st, when the new school law takes
effect. The prudential committee
and the district clerk and treasurer
will then disappear, their identity
and their duties being disposed of by
the machinery Of the new law, which
is referred to in detail on the 4th
page Of this issue. This is so, simply
because this school district has not
been Incorporated by special act of
the legislature, and it must carry on
it's educational business for the next
two years in common with the other
sections Of the town. Its property
and its affairs come under the direc-
tion Of the school officers to be chosen
in March; and, instead Of spending
its money within and for itself, dis
trict No. 1 will now contribute to
the general fund fer the support OF
all the schools in town. The district
has now debt of some six thousa nd
dollars, which the town will assume.
Under the circumstances, the features
OF the new law apply to this district
exactly as they do to the smallest
district in town and, to use a homely
| phrase, 1--WE are all in the same
boat The village will, naturally
be proportionately represented or
the new school board, and the towr
as a whole will be in condition tt
reap any benefits that may lie in th'
path of strict compliance with th'
mandate of the last legislature.
An important result of the chang
will be to center public interest il
the caucus, where the nomination O
| the officers who so exclusively vii
have the school work in hand, is t,
| be made.
