 The high school closed its fall term last week. There Is not sufficient en- couragement given to warrant the con- mittee In securing teachers for another term, and consequently the school will be, for the present, at least, given up.
 A. D. Cady of Furnace Hollow hotel yields to the general desire of the young people and announces that the "time to dance" is next Thursday Thanksgiving evening, and the place, at his hotel. The Stafford quadrille band furnishes the music, Lucius Converse does the prompt ing, and the whole thing costs the parti- cipants but one dollar each.
 Thermometers in this village indicated 8 degrees above zero last Tuesday morn ing. Much of the snow that fell last week is still with us, and the weather continues cold enough for midwinter. The ground Is frozen hard, many of the ponds are frozen over. At the Hollow the pond was covered with skaters all day Tueeday, and on Wednesday most of the ponds hereabouts were skated upon. At the time of going to press, the weather is warmer, the sun shines brightly, and the above item on the~ weather Is almost spoiled.
 The road commissioners have not been in session this week, owing to the sick, ness of Esquire West, petitioners attor- ney. Next week being Thanksgiving week, but little will be done with the case. The expense already incurred by the town in contesting the case it Is said, will not be much short of $1,000, and ii the case is lost of course this will be much increased.

Working upon this theory for years, mas

German Pipes.

The town Of Ruhla in Thuringia Is
noted as being the locality where the
largest proportion of German pipes are
manufactured, and these are exported,
1t may be said. to all parts of the world.
The German papers give some remark
able data as to this industry, as car
ried on at the Ruhla works, showing
that for some years past the annual
production of bowls, independently Of
stems or handles, amounts to $4,000
meerschaums and nearly 5,500,0O0 of
imitation meerschaums; the total Of
wooden bowls produced Is not far short
of 100000. while the average number

about 8 ,50O, 900 being of common porce-
lain and the remainder of fine ware.
But in addition to these there are also
produced some 5000 900 OF pipes made
of other materials than those enumer-
ated above. The same manufacturers
are engaged in turning out annually

us that the earth became solid some
