DUDLEY SCHOOL BOATID.

On Monday, a special m.-ti ig of this Bo Lrd was held
to consider the pr iposal Of Lite Ea i iif D tti y to pur-
chase the Holly Hail Sell() 1,.
Mr. Thompson (chairinati) haid he hitd Lhiiught it right
to have the meeting co,tventd iii miler to wake known
what had taken place at a recent interview he had had
with the agent of tiie Earl of Dudley. Mr. Taylor said
he had been instructed to see him (the Chairman of the
School Board) in reference to the Holly Hall Schools,
and to say that Lord Dudley had quite made up his mind
to purchase them, if the Board were willing to hand them
over to his lordship. He said, moreover, that the Earl
would purchase them on precisely the same conditions,
and at the seine amount of money. He was quite pre-
pared to take over the schoolcand the staff of teachers,
to pay all legal costs and every expense incurred, and to
entirely relieve the Board from the engagement with
Messrs. Cochrane. Mr. Taylor said his lordship would
also undertake to carry the schools on in the same way
as they had been conducted by Messrs. Cochrane. Lord,
Dudley, he added, was aware that the schools were situ-
ated near to his works and collieries, and he felt called
upon to do something for the district. For the benefit
of the people he had quite made up his mind to carry on
those schools.

In reply to Mr. Reynolds,
The Chairman said they had taken possession that day,
but he had seen Mr. Cochrane, who would willingly assist
in making the schools over to Lora Dudley. No contrast
had yet been signed, and he saw no difficulty in the
matter
Mr. Billing reminded the Board that the question had
been under consideration for months. Dr. Comma in-
fOrmed them long ago that Lord Dudley was prepared to
purchase those schools. He had since then understood
that his lordship did not see the necessity of buying
them, and was in favour rather of building a church at
Hart's Hill. It appeared to him remarkable that the
business of that Board should be retarded as it had been
and that subsequently they should have met fortnight
after fortnight to do what now became null and void.
The Chairman said he must inform Mr. Billing that
the agent of the Earl of Dudley had given the explana-
tion that immediately after the question VMS mooted his
lordship left for Norway, and communications upon the
matter could scarcely be had.
Mr. Billing said he was, however, of opinion that Dr.
Cosens should make an explanation. When they were
in trouble as to the affair Dr. Cosens was away, and did
not help them out of it. The least he could have 'done
was to have communicated with the Chairman, but no
information had been afforded, and they were left in the
dark by Dr. Cosens until they came to the present mo-
ment, when having gone through all the preliminaries
they were again stopped. It appeared to him altogether
unbusinesslike. _ _

The Rev. Dr. Cozens said he knew that during his ab-
sence from home through illness severe remarks were
made; and he should not hesitate to characterise them as
ungentlemanly. In the next place he must tell them he
was not Lord Dudley's keeper, but simply made a state-
ment which he heard had been called in question. IC,
was supposed he had spoken what was not true, but it
appeared from what they had heard from the Chairman
that he was perfectly justified in the statements he made.
His lordship distinctly gave him a promise, and he had
not seen or heard from him since. It was very hard he
should be called to question by any person as to what
Lord Dudley had done subsequently.
Mr. Russell then gave notice that at the next meeting
he should move a resolution to the effect that the Board
learns with pleasure that the Earl of Dudley is prepared
to purchase the Holly Hall Schools, and to carry on the
same as previously, thus relieving the ratepayers of a,
large outlay and a continuous expense; and that arrange-
ments for the purchase by his lordship be made.
It was decided that in the meantime all legal proceed.
jugs should be suspended. .
The meeting then closed. • •

THE HAIR.—For 40 years Mrs. S. A. ALLEN'S
WORLD'S HAIR RESTORER has received the commendation

place that can be obtained for any moderate enterprise,

The PRIVATION OF THE MIR OF ONES'S LIMBS while the
other functions of Nature are intact is a serious mortifica-
tion to the actively disposed. Such, however, is the con-
dition of the victims of rheumatism or gout. To walk
without enduring agony is impossible. to use the arms
free from excruciating pain, is equally impracticable. A
feeling of gratitude therefore pervades the frame when
the means are afforded of using all the members without
judicious and frequent application of PowaLL's Ham-
NATIO EMBROCATION. It is past all doubt the grandest
specific for the evils we have named, and others of a,
similar character. May be obtained of all Chemist's.
