D. Chittenden and teachers and with more than 200 scholars the school at Bellows Free Academy going on like clock work. With the income from a permanent fund of more than $220,000, the ytrustees ought to be able to maintain a school second to no other anywhere. They are not advertizing for students.

There will be no school this week after Wednesday. The artesian well now being bored is down about 180 feet.

Principal and Mrs. Chittenden gave an 8 o'clock tea Saturday. The academy teachers, the five trustees and their wives, and some others were the gusts. Mrs. Baker of Brandon sang several selections, adding to the enjoyment of the occasion
