Thers Is considerable of disagree ment over in the Chandler district of the town of Pomfret becaues of the re- voking of the license of Miss Eliza bth MaeLaughlin, who has been teach ing the district school for little more than two terms. The removal of Miss MacLaughlin followed the preferring of charges against her, of the nature of which she Is not Informed, by the school committee. A time was fixed for hearing of the charges, but when Miss MacLaughlin arrived the com plainants against her were filing out of the room, and she was given no op- portunity to learn what charges had been made against her.
 People of the district have taken sides. There is a strong feeling that the teacher has been unjustly dealt with, inasmuch as she has not been notified of the reasons why she is no longer considered desirable by the committee as a person to teach the school. Miss MacLaughlin has served notice on the committee that she is ready and willing to resume her du- ties according to her contract, and In any event will look to them for her pay. Meanwhile the school has been closed.

 But in the meantime Constable Bright had learned that the Mexican colony or portion of them, were attribrtins the condition of the woman to spell which the Syrian is supposed to havs cast over her, some of them even going so far as to believe that he only can remove the baneful charm. Justice Ca bell and others have endeavored to show the dubious that such conditions are idle fears, without any foundation whatever. The better element of the Mexican colony will probably be able to convince the others along this line of reasoning. The woman was still in a comatose condition yesterday. Her friends have kindly removed her from her recent abode to more pleasant home on the hillside near the April Fool shaft. The authorities will look after the case in spirit of charity.
