Monday there was sort of pedagogical
exodus as teachers sought their various
| felds OF labor to be ready for the opening
OF schools the next day. Miss Eta
Chamberlain went to Montpelier, where
she has taught in the Union school for
the last few years: Miss Jennie Godfrey
TO Hartford for another year at the head OF
that school, and with her went Miss
Lillian Buck of Brookfeld TO teach in
the intermediate grade, and Miss Lyla
Putnam OF this village to have charge Of
the primary department; Miss Helen
Miller went TO White River Junction to
be one of the instructors in the graded
school, and Miss Emma Moses TO her
place in the Rochester school in which
the excellence OF her teaching has caused
her to be retained for a long time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Spear left for West
Lebanon, \. H., where he is principal,
and Prof. and Mrs. Ira Shaw, who
had been visiting in Mortified, went
through here on their way to New York
to open their industrial school at White
Plains. Fred Drew returned to East
Barre, where he taught last spring.

school and road taxes as his neigh
Dor who formerly paid an equal
amount with him. The same is
true with the farmer as compared
with the railroads. There is no
provision for an increase in their
assessments, and it is safe to say
that with Republican Board OF
Public Works there will be none,
so up will 60 the assessment of the
farmers lands and stock, the rail
road bond and money assessments
of the wealthy will remain the
same and the farmer must and
will pay the double tax.
Is there a reader so ignorant
that he cannot understand that,
whatever his politics may be?
This is not politics, it is business,
a business that, in the judgment
of the writer, is fraught with dis
aster to the farming interests of
our State. We believe that when
the taxes are paid one time, under
this assessment there will be such

agreed to by the two men, Gov.
White and Mr.. Dawson, who have

Senator Elkins could not at times
hold them all in line and by and
with their votes numerous vicious
measures were finally defeated in
the extra session, among these be-

The man who will come around

notch is to be an appointee Of the
Governor. The people and the
county courts of the respective

whatever with this appointment
and selection. The Governor will
appoint a State Tax commissioner
who is to draw $500 annually

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. they have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be. IFS nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine OF the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifies the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..

A TALE OF THE ARMADA.
The Blowing Up of the FIorentine Gal
leon, the FIorencia.

Over three centuries ago a vessel
of the Spanish armada was blown
up in Tobermory bay, off the coast
of the island of Null. Recently
numerous relics have been recovered
from it by divers. They include Ole
cannon, swords, pistols, plate ans
coins. The vessel was the Floren
ella, a Florentine galleon which
came from the Levant, one of the
Italian possessions of the king 0;
Spain, and was commanded b. che
Pereija. After the defeat OF the
armada the Florencia was forced by
bad weather and lack of provisions
to put into Tobermory bay. There
Sir Lauchlane MacLean, who, be-
cause of his feuds with his neigh
bors, had been made a denounced
rebel by King James of Scotland,
formed an alliance with the Span
iards. With the aid of a hundred
soldiers from the ship and of his
own followers the wild chieftain
made war on neighboring clans for
some time.
At last he received message
from Captain Pereija requesting
that the Spanish soldiers be sent
back at once, as he was preparing
for sea. At the same time he heard
that the provisions supplied to the
Spaniards had not been paid for
Sir Lauchlane demonstrated with
the don for his injustice, and salts
faction was promised. On the
strength of this the men were sent
back, but MacLean, not relying en-
tirely on the captains promise, re-
tanned three of the soldiers aS
hostages till the debt should be
paid. At the same time,he sent one
of his own men, Donald elias Mac
Lean, on board the Florencia to re-
ceiye an adjustment Of the demands
of his people.
Donald elias when he went on
board the ship was 'disarmed and
made prisoner, and no communica-
ton was allowed between himself
and his friends. But Donald elias
conceived a plan which, though, it
meant certain death to himself,
promised a speedy and terrible rctri-
button to his captors. Finding that
the cabin in which he was confined
was close to the magazine, he forced
his way into it, and, laying train
from it to the outside, he fired it.
The ship was blown tc pieces, kill
ing the 800 or 400 persons who
were on beard.
