The average number of inmates at the Almshouse the
past year was eight, and the increased cost of their sup-
port, over last year, has been $153.41, which is chargeable
in"part to the depression in business, which has very ma-
terially interfered with Mr. Wilber's opportunities for
earning money, by working with his team for outside par-
ties. There has also been a considerable extra sum re-
quired for clothing the inmates, which does not appear in
the increase ofpersonalproperty. The interests of both
the town and the inmates, have been well looked after by
Mr. and Mrs. Wilber, and they are entitled to'their usual
credit for good management.

HIGH SCHOOL.
This school under the charge of Mi. Berry, has
been very prosperous. Several scholars from the east
and west parts of the town were unable to attend the
winter term. The distance and state of the roads at
this season of the year, rendered it impossible for
them to attend the school. In some 'towns in such
cases, some person is employed. by the town to convey
those living on the borders of the town, to the school
in the morning and back to their homes in the after-
noon, thus giving them equal school privileges with
those living in the village. The room in; the Unita-
rian Church is very inconvenient; it is very warm in
summer and cold in winter, and by no means adapted
to the wants of the school. We need a larger room
with suitable ante -rooms for the use of the scholars;
we need maps, charts, globes, as helps to teacher and
scholars, all of which in my;opinion would greatly pro-
mote the prosperity of the school and advance its use-
fulness.
The common school system has been rightly termed
one of the chief glories of New England. This is
one of the forces which has elevated these Eastern
States, and given them the commanding prominence
they hold in intelligence and influence. The mass of
the people, by this means, receive the rudiments of
education. The education of the great body of the
people is chiefly dependent on our common schools.
These nurseries of intelligence should be guarded and
fostered with special care ; for upon them, in connec-
tion with our religious institutions,'depends the per-
petuity of our national blessings.

Our forefathers acted upon the principles of wis-
dom and philanthropy, when they laid the foundation
of our educational establishments. We have received
from them a sacred trust, and it is becoming in us to
fulfill the duties thus imposed with fidelity, and trans
mit the boon
made by ns more valuable, to our
descendants.
