WALLTNGFORD.


 Wallingford Grange. This drama has been given in North Haven by local tall ent for the benefit of the Village I'm provement association to crowded house, and by request was repeated in the same town in a short times and again a good audience greeted the tall ented company of amateurs. Their success was so pronounced that the same play was given in Handen. and judging from the, crowded house the great success of the play had preceded the company. Good critics have given the following opinion unsought, viz: That it YVES the finest amateur acting ever witnessed. Down in Maine" Is a drama of common life. It has no vil- lain, no mystery, no long lost child, nc impossible character or impossible plot. It represents pictures of real life, with it's joys and sorrows,its hopes and fears. Bright humor and tender pathos go side by side. and as realistic play it is equal to Way Down East" The following is the cast: s...- .es s Zeph Cummings of Hardscrabble Farm,

 By the appointments made last night there is 9 reduction of ten. The com haustive study the past year of the va rious details connected with the schools and while there is same evidence of an increase in the enrolment the coming school year even if that hadn't been manifest the changes in regarding, etc., would have been made. While num- Der of. teachers have not been reap- pointed for the coming year those re- maining affected by the process of re- grading have had their salaries corres- pondingly increased. s@M-. A
 In the kindergarten branch there is a reduction in tise number of teachers due to the average decrease in the at- tendance. The teachers in that depart- ment at present are eight. Next year the number will be four. By the re- grading and notwithstanding the in- crease in salaries there has been a re- duction in the salary appropriation for the coming year of over twenty-five hundred dollars. The present seating capacity of the schools can accommo- date some three hundred and fifty more than are now attending.
 Another point in the regarding which is of considerable interest will be the doing away of for a few years to come of building new school house. The interest on the bonds and the expense of running new school building would entail an expense of some six thousand dollars yearly and this would mean ar additional two-mil tax over the present rate of taxation. .-s... .:
