PUBLISHER'S NOTES.
[ Concluded from page 540.]
THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, of Castleton, Vt., is located in a very pleas- ant valley. It has ample accommodations for both boarding and day scholars. (See cut, page 468.) Its location is unrivalled for beauty. It is also airy and healthy, being elevated some twenty feet above the village, and having a lawn of shade trees and grass in front, covering two and one-half acres. About the same amount in the rear is devoted to the raising of vegetables and small fruits. The village of Castleton has been long noted for the culture of its citizens, this school being the third in age within the limits of the State (1787). Hundreds of graduates have gone out from its halls to do valuable service for humanity in all the walks of life. In May, 1880, the school came under the control of Capt. Abel E. Leavenworth, so well and favorably known in Addison County, as the first principal of Beeman Academy, 1868-'75, who began to teach in 1846. Under his management, aided by a skillful corps of trained teachers of his own, it has entered upon a new era of pros- perity which will be gratifying to the pupils of "Rutland County Grammar School" and "Castleton Seminary," whose successor it is.
ELI STEVENS, of Cornwall, has for many years been a breeder of fine stock, not only of Merino sheep but of thoroughbred horses. His stallion "Allright" is a descendent of "Old Blackhawk" and " Messenger Morgan." Mr. Stevens has done a good work in the improvement of domestic animals. His advertisement is on page 352.
