The town treasurer has during the past
week received from the state treasurer the
state school tax amounting to 1881 So the
town paid to the state $440,l0, making net
loss to the town of $l08.2S. We are of the
opinion that this law is an imposition on a
portion of the towns of the state. What good
reason can be given for asking this town to
contribute toward the support of schools OF
other towns who may be much better able to
bear the burden of taxation than we are The
law may be a blessing to some towns but we
fail to appreciate it just the same.

Athletic Park.

There IS now every prospect that Bel
lows Falls will have suitable grounds for
athletic sports, base ball, foot ball, cycle
racing, etc., as the Mt. Kilburn Wheel
club voted, at its special meeting last night
to accept the generous offer of d. ID. Dris-
lane, and take ten year lease Of the
beautiful natural park on his land just
south of the village, in Westminster. 1t
will not be money making scheme for
anyone, and the club do not so intend it,
but to make it park where all interested
in athletic sports have equal rights, and to
this end the hearty cooperation Of all
interested in any of the various sports is
desired in clearing up the grounds and
putting them in shape to use. The base
ballists have already done lot of work OF
part of the grounds clearing up field
for diamond, and the wheelmen are al
busy clearing up for a third or halt mil,
track. As we understand the matter, it i
a condition Of the lease that cycle tract
be built there this season. There is lot
of work to do, and some money will b.
required. Now let our business men. an,
all interested in athletics, take hol,
together and make park that will be
credit to the town.

Railroad RumbIings.

The Central Vermont railroad has re-
ceived notice from the Rutland road to va
cate its Office in the passenger depot, which
is owned by the Rutland. The Central
proposes to stay in town and is making ar
rangements for rooms elsewhere for its
freight division headquarters. There are
all sorts OF rumors of feeling between the
Fitchburg railroad and the Rutland, but
we cannot trace them to any reliable source,
and presume they arise from the reverber-
atoms of the tracks in the freight yards by
the Rutland road.

issue, The bail was set rolling by Rev.
e L. stafford, Of Iowa, who moved
,hat the election 81 bishops be indefl-
pltCly postponed. This precIpltated a

combination was quickly formed. On

vote jumped 10 2lS from 1870. what he
had received on the ballot taken last
night. and DR.. CranstOn's from 2+5 to
9Sl. That Indicated clearly who the
lsldtrs were, and on the fifteenth bal

eight more than were needed to elect,
while pr. CEanston polled S2S. or eight
lass than were needed. The next ballot
gave the victory TO DR.. cranston. and

Candidates.
