An Old Vermont Almanac.

The Manchester Union of recent
date contained the following:
Claremont, Sept. %, 1909.
Friend Observant Citizen-I send
herewith an old Vermont almanac of
1919. Have marked two little para
graphs which amused me, possibly
they may you. l have probably 800
old almanacs of different makes and
dates from 1889 to 1900, and these old
things which are quaint, and yet some
times instructive are often the sub
ject of half an hours amusement.
Kindly return and use as you care to
for your purposes.
C. B. SPOFFORD.
"Mr. Spofford's Almanac is indeed
an interesting pamphlet. 1t is not
every day that an almanac of that date
is brought to light This almanac was
compiled by Zadock Thompson, and
was printed at Woodstock by David
Thompson, in the days when big men
had but two names. An interesting
paragraph on the outside cover of the
almanac, beneath the name of the COM
piler, is worth reproduction here.

ity in the revolutions of the planets

existence of God, that Cicero declared
that the person who asserted that

Chenille Normal Notes.

The attendance for the present
winter term of the Chenille
State Normal shows a decided in
crease over the attendance for
the winter term Of last year.
On January % the faculty
gave a reception to the students.
The evening was very much en-
joyed by all, and an increased
school spirit was manifested on
the part Of the students and
teachers.
Principal Rohrbaugh spent
few days last month at Charles
ton attending the session of the
legislature in the interestsof the
school. The appropriation for
an additional building, which he
50 earnestly solicited at that
time, has since been granted.
This appropriation amounts to
$35, 600 or $4,000 more than the
cost of the present building.
Work on the new building will
begin about the first of August.
This addition to the schools ia
cilities means that the advantage
of the young men and women Of
this part of the state for securing
an education will be greater than
ever before. Certainly they
should avail themselves Of these
excellent opportunities.
For some time past the Liter
airy Societies have been giving
excellent programs. On Febru-
airy II the Cosmian's rendered a
Lincoln anniversary program.
On March 6 the Independents
