Tho success of tho meeting ns regards the prominent ilairvmen nnd speakers, both at home and nhrund who are to be in attendance is nl- ready assured nnd it only remains for tho farmers and dairymen of this vicinity to derive the full benefit of these meetings by a personal attendance. All, whothcr mem hers or not are earnestly invited to be present and it is hoped that a largo num ber of new names will be added to tho association's list During tho year of 1878 only four fires occurred in town and but one of these in the village limits, that being tho barn of Louis ISarney, which burned on tho 20th dav of Aucust.

Of tho others tho first was tho fire at Wright's Mills on the mornin" of the 3d cf January, when sev eral buildings were burned; tho second Iiein" tho barn on the Gould farm on the ni'dit of October 11, and the last one was the school house burned last Monday night on the top of Town Hill. Tho cab shop on l.erlin s-ido was slightly damaged on the of the 14th of March. Take it nil in all, it was a fortunate year for fires her The school house in tho Henry Xutt district was burned on Monday evening of this week. Tho alarm was not given in this villano till tho firo had been under headway for some time, but the engines were promptly brought out on its sounding anil about as promptly re housed upon the location and distanco to tho lire being ascertained. Due theory of tho firo is that it caught from tho chimney which is reported to have been very dufcotive, another that district matters was nt tho bottom of it.

This is tho second school house which lias been burned on the samcsito, the other burning some twenty years ago. The is reported as not heavy. Tho annoyance of having our strcots so nearly filled as they sometimes are with loaded teams is getting too great to bo endured, and wo understand that the village have directed the police to regulate matters. Hereafter the first team on tho ground may tako the best place it can find at the side of the streot and close to the sidewalk. Succeediug teams must tako each its place in front or in rear of those already on the ground, and all teams must be hauled well up to tho side of tho street.

Tho double and triplo rank formation hitherto practiced is dangerous and unnecessary, and we trust that all reasona- ablo men will aid in enforcing the regula tions. A very sad case of allliction is that of the family of Mr. Charles Morse of Plain field, who lives about four miles from the village, near the Marshfiehl line, seven of Ids ten children having died of diphtheria within two weeks, their ages ranging from one to thirteen years.

The iliscnse is reported to havo been taken from some clothes that were given to the children by a friend who recently lost two children by diphtheria in IJarie.

Of the causes of tho deaths nine died of lung fever, five liriglit's disease of tho kidneys, four ufdicart disease, three of cholera infantum, two of consumption, two of dropsy, two nf diphtheria, two of paralysis, and ten fn.ni other causes. Of tho ages eleven were under three years of ago, one was seven, ami none occurred between the ages of seven and twenty-eight year?

NoiiTiiriKU). One of tho most ditlicult, if not dangerous surgical operations that practitioners have been called upon to perform, of hrto, in this section, was consummated last Saturday, in tho removal of an ovarian tumor said to be as largo ns a man's head from tho person of the wife of Marshall Hopkins. The operation was under tho direction of Dr. Homitns of Boston, senior surgeon of tho Massachusetts general hospital, assisted by Drs. Bradford, Porter and Davis of Northfield, and Kemp and Chandlor of Montpelier.

It took the surgeons nn hour and a quartor to cfl'oct the removal. At this timo (Monday afternoon) Mrs. Hopkins is said to bo doing woll and as comfortable as could bo expected, all things considered The tumor ndhored so closely to its sur roundings tht it was found necoisary to actually cut it away pieco-meal. Besides the persons named, Dr. II ins brought with lit 1 11 a medical student and a nurse from the hospital.

If Mrs. Hopkins ir-vivos this ordeal, it may justly ha claimed as ono of the proudest triumphs of modern surgical science tho plot lo murder the Indian. The singing school is progressing finely under tho instruction of Prof. Ober. At their last meeting the school voted to havo a convention of throe days' duration, to closo up with a concert.

It is pleasant to know that Victor Hugo, though a world-renowned getiius, and not always in tho best of tempers on puer, is tinifnr illy kindly and affectionate-at home; and is, withal, tho most tender and iiiilu'-gentof grand fai hers. He is ever at the servico of the litllo ones; and the talent that created tho tragedy of ion Delonno appears lo groat advantage, in getting up plays for a doll's theatre or managing a puppet-show. Tlio wonders of Monte Cristo are outdone by the marvelous talcs that the nullior improvis es to console the griefs of his small hearers, or lull them to sleep; nnd lie proves tho oneness of art by turning sculptor for their amusement, and moulding extraordinary cats nnd pigs out of broad crumbs, wilh matches for legs.

No wonder that he is tho idol of family and friends, nnd very popular will) his countrymen, save iho Bonapartist faction, who 111 never forgivo him for having fastened the sobriquet of Napoloon the Mule," upon their onco emperor.
