We are glad to note the improve
ment in the school premises, the com
mon has been mOwn and the copiou
rams have given il fresh and beauti
full appearance, the paths are being
cleaned and withal the old Seminary
premises are rejuvinated. The schoo
board have issued a neat prospectus
for the coming schoo! year with the
following list of teachers: E. A
Shaw, principal; Miss Grace B. Mead
preceptress; Miss Fanny Martin, gram
mar; Miss Mary B. Ford, intermediate
and instrumental music; Miss Annie
M. Guthrie, primary; Miss Ella M
Bixby, vocal music. elocution and
physical culture. This is good,
strong board of teachers and we be-
lieve they will do their part towards
keeping up the former excellent repu,
tation of this school, We regret ex-
ceedingly that the school board should
feel it wisdom and duty to discontinue
the business department. 1t is how
ever discontinued and there is all the
more reason why every one should take
hold and lift to make the school flourish

A man, native of Denmark, whose
name is Jansen, Kicked up a rumpus
last Sunday evening by committing
suicide He cut the large veins in his
wrists with a razor, bled profusely, |
laid down across the railroad track |
and awaited further Developments |
He was wise in the selection of public |
place to do this work as plenty of peo-
pie saw the victim. Selectman Alex
Greer was notified, took the victim to |
the Sawyer House where he was
watched over during the silent watches
by Albert Corliss. On Monday fore.
noon he was taken to the poor house.
tits said that a niece about twenty
years old was imported by Jansen,
from the mother country and is work
ing In this village, and this niece if
Jansen's story is true is not as faithful
to him as an imported niece ought to
be, hence the crime. This man can't
stand grief. If your correspondent
had committed suicide every time some
ones niece frowned on him another
itemizer would have chronicled this
event. Jansen is expected to recover.
