A teacher was advertised for to take charge of the village school, and during twelve months that temple of learning was presided pre-sided over by fourteen school ma'ams, successively ; all have found husbands as soon as they arrived here.

The present incumbent in-cumbent at the school is a grenadierfrom Michigan, and the directors think she will last for some time." |
