An imprcmptu program was given by members of th< school after the lecture, which wa. admirably sung and appreciatively en joyed by the large audience assembled MT Greene's school is proving mag net, especially to artists and teachers of which the school is largely com posed.

 TO ATTEND NEwTowN HIGH SCHOOL.
 The present prospects are that the number pf children from this town at- tending High schools in the adjoining towns will De more than doubled the coming year. Previous to this year there had been only four, all but one attending in Danbury. Four or i've passed the examination for admission to the Newtown High school, on Sat- urday. Since the transportation IS paid by the town and state 1t has given quite an impetus to the desire to con. tinue their studies by many who could not otherwise afford it. The state pays one-half the travelling expenees and the town the balance. The state pays twO-thirds of the tuition and the town sending the pupils, the balance. The full cost of High school expenses last year was S2O2. 40, the town paying S85 36 of this sum. FAIR HAY CROP. Having was rushed, last week, many getting through.
