BRIMFIELD.

The J. Arthur Johnson Grand Army post of Sturbridge, to which the Brim- field veterans belong, the Woman's Relief Corps and the Sons of Veterans worshipped in the Brimfield church Sunday. Rev. Samuel Eaton gave an excellent discourse, picturing the achievements for political and reli- gious liberty from the granting of Magma Oharta to the victory at Ap- pomattox. In closing he charged the sons of veterans to preserve civic righteousness.
 The annual meeting of the trustees of the Hitchcock free academy was held Monday Those present from out of town were Henry H. Bowman of Springfield, James R. Brown of Palmer, Salem D. Charles of Boston, Charles V. Corey of Sturbridge, Samuel w. French of Newtonville, Dr. B. w. Norwood of Spencer, F. Lincoln Peirce of Newtonville and Charles H. Walker of Warren. The officers of the corporation were re- elected. They are: President, E. W. Norwood; vice president, Charles S. Tarbell; clerk, George M. Hitch cock; treasurer, Henry H. Bowman. Rev. Samuel Eaton of Brimf1eld was chosen to fill the vacancy in the board caused by the death of Thomas J. Morgan. The prudential commit tee are: Orus E. Parker, George M. Hitchcock, Salem D. Charles, Rev. Samuel Eaton, F. Lincoln Peirce. Resolutions were passed on the death of Thomas J. Morgan, who had been member of the board for over 25 years, and also upon the death of Alfred l.. Converse, who was one of the promoters of the establishing of the school, and treasurer of the insti- tuition for the first quarter century of it's existence. An important measure was decided upon which has for some time been generally considered to be for the best interests of the academy. This is the establishing of a years course, preparatory to entrance to the hCau0uy pIOpoI. 0uOH O OouA5o WoS discontinued about 12 years ago, when the funds of the school were not so prosperous as at present, but as the town schools do not have a dis tinct ninth grade, the loss of the drill usually given in that grade has been realized. A more careful dis tinction than heretofore will be under stood, however, between the academic work of four years as constituting the school proper, and the preparatory course. The decision to purchase a bell at once is matter of rejoicing to townspeople and alumni. The bell which has hung in the cupola at the begin ming of the schools history was broken some years ago. Miss Anna 5. Hitchcock, who has been the teach CT of English and French for several years, declined reelection. Miss Hitchcock has been an efficient teach CT and has won the warm regard of the pupils and the esteem of the townspeople. The trustees enjoyed an excellent dinner at the Brimfeld hotel as guests of Samuel W. French of Newtonville. MT. French is the grand. nephew of the founder of the academy.
