In autumn, its long shadows pointed far eastward into the village, while its western border was kindled into a living flame, i see the old school house new, as it was when I trudged to it a bov. Ivut it is swept away. Soch was our school house, the only one within three miles. It was this spot that ai! Stokeville, was driven to for knowledge and power for 'knowledge i power.' W e hired our school-master then, at nine dollars a month, and boarded; and such specimens of intellectual humanity as fell upon us as w ere never before nor since paralleled.

Mr. Ephraim Mill, from Connecticut

Mr. Mills' imsg.imtiou, nor of the 'gang' over which he had been called to preside. We had Kill Jones, a red-headed, freckledfaced boy, who wore he woul.i w hip the master before tfic week was out; Jack
