On account of the severe storm last Fri
day, the public schools had no session in
the afternoon. The weather on that day
was something of novelty for the 9th OF
November, beginning with thunder-storms
which lasted nearly all the morning, and
ending at night with snow. The regular
monthly teachers meeting was held at &c
in the afternoon of the same day, it being
an experience meeting" on the subject Of
Discipline.
The canvass of the town by represent.
alive of the lecture course committee has
revealed the fact that a lecture course is
not desired by the greater proportion oil
the community, consequently the course
has been given up. This seems a great
pity, as it robs a large number of people OF
their only opportunity to hear lectures and
concerts of any merit, and leaves us with
no entertainments of that class for the
winter. OF the $675 which it was neces
sary to raise, one weeks canvass failed tc
procure but $3.50.
The mileage book case against the Rut
land road, which was brought by L. S
Hayes, and in which the railroad suffered
defeat in the justice court, before a jury
and Justice Williams nearly a year ago
was argued this week before the supreme
court at Montpelier upon a petition of the
railroad for leave to appeal the case to the
county court. The attorneys for the road
were Stickney q Sargent of Ludlow, and
| Charles H. Robb argued for Mr.. Hayes
against the granting of the petition. The
court reserves its decision, but will report
at an early day. The verdict of the JUS
tice court for the value of the mileage
book which was lifted by a conductor did
not exceed $40, and hence it is claimed i:
not appealabie, while the road seeks t.
carry it higher
