We see by the doings of the legisla-
ture that this town has got another
corporation charter; this time it is
the incorporated graded school at
Barton Landing. This makes three
school districts in town: Barton Acad-
envy and graded school district, Bar
ton Landing, graded school district,
and the town district outside. This
throws the grand list very largely into
the village districts. The town dis
trict, outside, has been running five
or six schools and will have to do it
hereafter. Whether the list. of the
town district will support this number,
we do not know. It is possible that
some of the old districts will be help
ed little by one or two districts, that
under the old system raised very lit
tie money above what was known as
the public money.

from death some days since in Nor

approaching the track, when a wild
engine appeared. She heard no whis
tie, and the horse became unmanage-
able and ran on to the track. The
