a WEEK AT NORTH TROY.-For a
week we have been in the enter
prising village of North Troy. Its
fame had been sounded to US for half
a generation and we expected to find
a deRoralized community. 1t had
even been said that the place needed
the Office of states attorney more
than any other place in the county.
GIVE have met the enemy and we are
his'n.' We found in the schools one
of the best teachers in Orleans Coun-
ty, Mr.. Chas. Putney, and he is assist
ed by others, of whom pupils and par
ents speak highly. The business men,
too, are full of push and pluck, and
their pleasant ways in their offices and
across their counters win the conf
dence and esteem of an intelligent
community. Neat and tidy homes,
usually well-kept in their surround
ings, show plainly the manner in
which they hold the place where they
can go at any time. The clergy are
gentlemanly, courteous and cordial;
the physicians skilful, saving and sat-
isfied, and under their care the suffer-
ing are we'll looked after. The genial
editor of the Palladium will do his
best to serve you, and is an encyclo-
pedia of useful knowledge and vol
ume of ready, living reference. There
are several societies for social enjoy
ment and lasting good which members
support cheerfully. No better water
system for family and village use can
be found in the state. The farming
section surrounding the place is hard
ly second to any on the east side of
the Green Mountains. During our
stay we saw no one disorderly or in
toxicated, but met with courtesy and
kindness from all. Several have tax
en- the cure for the drink appetite and
are now proud to find themselves
their own masters. In fact, we found
the place, like all New England viii
lagos, progressive in thought, ener-
getic In business, alive to the needs of
education, jealous of their.
proud of their achievements, looking
for and working for Improvement.
