to be full of people of late who are bent
upon reslgning this position or that.

cester academy designations, comes that
of a town official in the shape Of f. E.
Collins, warden of the town farm.
Mr.. Collins came here year ago from
Worcester, taking the place of David
Earnshaw, and has proved very valu-
able man for the place. His resigna-
ton is caused. by the fact that he has
secured a better position as warden OF
the town farm at Northampton. Over
seer Of the Poor II. F. Sargent said to-
night that Mr. Collins had agreed to
stay until a successor was appointed.
He thought a change might be made by
another month.
