 It is pleasure to see the interest man. ifested Ill our Village Improvement So- ciety. Certainly our president has done wonders in directing the Improvements, in keeping the sidewalks ill thorough re- pair, cleaning the snow from them in our winter months and watching with vigilant care the beautiful elms that adorn our village.
 The wholesale seed growers are mak- ing their annual spring rounds and have already begun to install their cases of new seeds at the different stores where they are sold. Though seeds and snow do not entirely agree, it is about this time that several of the kinds are started in boxes and hot-houses and some of the seeds of this variety are selling.
 It is rarely that a village is favored with such excellent talent as Sharon re- ligious societies. We have the Rev. Dr. Morgan of Christ Church, Rev. MT. Mackey of the Methodist, Rev. G. l.. Forte of the Congregational and Father Smith of the Catholic, all men of rare ability, and it has been remarked that certainly Sharon needs them.
 Let us speak a word in praise of our schools. We have four gradeS with most excellent teachers and also the high school department. Scholars are coming from remote parts of the town. What 0 contrast to by gone years. This district boasted of little red school house that could accommodate but thirty scholars but no one regrets the great privileges that the present generation enjoys in advanced opportunities U se- cure an education, aud still there re- mains an imperative demand for further adyancements. We say give the girls and boys chance for thorough educa- ton.
