A Republican caucus, called by the town committee, was held at the town hall on Saturday, G. M. Powers of the committee presiding and T. C. Cheney clerk.

Mr. Gates of the Congressional Districtcommittee and the remainder of the delegation to Rutland, seem to think that our dis tinguished townsman, Judge Powers, is apt to pull through and secure a re-nomination for Congressman.

It is proposed to place there four new scenes that are most needed for general stage purposes, and also anew drop curtain for the front of! the stage. Mr. L. H.

Mr. Andrus will also put on a large panorama of 1600 square feet of painting for a one night's enter tainment for the same purpose. By the people of the town and village liberally patronizing these entertain ments, enough means will be provided for this long needed stage arrange ment. It is unnecessary to comment on what the present stage accommo dations are, for the high class of people that have been upon the stage and also attended the many good things given them by the lecture course and home talent of this place. The frout or drop curtain will be on elegant and artistic work, painted in oil colors and contributed by the en terprising business men of the village. LIBRARY OPENING. The public library is now located in its new quarters in the bank build ing, where the public will findaspleas ant, well lighted and commodious rooms, as is often devoted to that purpose; it is, in fact, just the place for it and can but increaee the inter est in and growth of this enterprise, which, in point of actual benfit to the inhabitants of this town can hardly be calculated. The books are being put in order and quite a number of new books catalogued this week, and it is proposed to open the library for the inspection of the public from 2 to 6 on Friday afternoon this week. This will not be for the drawing of books, as the library will be open on Saturday as usual, for that purpose. A general invitation is extended every body to come in ana see tne norary in its new hdme. The institution is sadlv in need of additional chairs and it is suggested that if any one has an old chair about their house, the gut of such an article would be highly ap- nreciated.

I have been trying to obtain books for them, and to-day I have the promise of four copies of Animal" Parasites of Sheep, to be forwarded to your address. You scatter them as you think best among the members. The books were received last Sat urduv and Mr. Mernam considers them the best he ever saw for those who raise sheep. He will distribute them as follows : Jas. Atwell, Eden ; A. A. Niles, Morrisville; L. L. Camp, Elmore; S. K.

I would like to present a lew t!iriirtitM from the ot her side. The attempt to wen Ken tue auiaorny oi the Principal, and create a new code of rules for the students, seems to me nau .luugmenr. U. hna been demonstrated time and again that wheu parents oppose a teacher in what he considers tne Uesc mpinou oj governing tli oh under his charge, troiib e and confusion ensues, and. likeall other attempts to enforce ilisrinlinn between opposing factions, is doomed to luilure. The question ot whether any amusement is rightor wrongshould have less thought bestowea upon n man wnat is best for the prosperity and well-being ol our school. We are conlronted witn a grave uroblem. the solution of which will involve the reputation and success of our Academy. The citizens of our beautiful and growing town cannot ignore their responsibility in this matter, and public Bentiment mustsettle the question wnetherduncingduring the term of school is detrimental to the best work to be obtained in twelya weeks of study. Is it not adding an unnecessary burden to the Principal, whose anxiety would be increased jest those students from adjoining towns should havo their thoughts distracted from their legitimate work by the excitement and freedom ol a public dance? To him parents will look for the safety and protection of their sons and daugbteis. To him will they charge any failure which wil compromise their standing. )s it not the duty of parents, in all towns which are honored with an insti tution to promote the culture and education of our youth, to endeavor to secure, by co operation with the teacher, that high moral standard which helps to make happy homes end irood citizenship? Let us seriously refltwt upon the position we take, laying aside all animosity and prej. ndice. and consult only the permanent good nl nnr excellent school, in which we nil have a iiist, nride and personal interest. "There is a time to lauuh and a time to dance." Every thiiiir in its senson : then peace and harmony will prevail. The legality of any question is u,nilLrv in importance to the principle in volved, and we impair our influence for good when we seek oDly self-indulgence. l i. a. HE .WAS "NOT IN IT." Ma. Editob: As a good many are interro-tCB-tme me in regard to an accident which I Em informed happened last week Sunday, toward Wolcott, please allow me to state that it was E. C. Heath and not E. A.

Page of this place, I take the liberty to tell you about some more old books, which I hope will prove of enough interest to find a place intheStowe news in your very excellent paper. The books are the property of Geo. W. White of Stowe. One is a large family Bible, 1808 ; thcF's and S's are almost alike: the Journal of John Nelson, 1813 and an old reader of 1821. also another reader called the Monitor, 1705, a bound volumn of Mars Magazine of the same date, 1795. George Washington was then our President, and judging from the time of some comments in this book, was vilified as badly as any President of our day: and two other books from which the dates have been torn but are well preserved and bear signa of being priuted early in this century, of the latest binding, paper and print all very old. Hoping to see that others are interested in such old relics, I remain, w C2L "p5 KjV7"p,yFY"iC!j f CRAFTSBURY. E. A. Allen has got settled in his new home und of course is happy.
