The citizens of the Centre School District
in Leicester, have voted to build a New school
house. A lot of land situated on Pleasant
Street, one hundred and forty feet front, and
three hundred feet deep, has been purchased
for the sum of $3.50, upon which the school
house is to located. We are glad to know
that the citizens of Leicester are not behind
the "rest of mankind, . in the manifestation
of that spirit of progress and improvement
which distinguishes the present age of the
world. If the contemplated improvement is
made upon the road between this city and
Leicester, by which many of the hills will be
avoided, and some of the "crooked places
made straight" our citizens will find it a very
pleasant ride during the Summer months, and
the business facilities between the two places
will be increased, to the advantage of both
town and city.
The Annual Meeting of Leicester Union
Co., No. 2, was held last Saturday. Their
efficient Foreman, John D. CogsweI, was
reelected. He is said to be "one of the

The inhabitants of the town at their last
March meeting voted to pay the firemen as
follows Each Private So per year, Hoseman

sion of the Poll Tax. This liberality on the
part of the town, was well deserved, and will
undoubtedly be appreciated by the Fire
men.

The SHOE BUSINESS. - We are neither
croakern or bunker in business affairs but the
above business requires at the present time the
most particular care by those who are engaged
IN it, to enable them to go through the pres
ent year without losing money in manufac-
turing The present high prices of money
and leather, taken in connection with the large
stocks of shoes i'll the hands of manufacturers
and dealers, and the prospect of further de-
cline in the price Of sole leather, renders
further operations very uncertain. Some of
our Oldest and most experienced manufactur-
ers, following the dictates of sound iudg-
ment,are closing up their business to await the
return Of better prospect. Those who con-
tinue, should cut down their business to the
independent point, where they can pay their
debts, and ask no fayors. Most if not all Of
our manufacturers, have made money for the
last few years, and if they wish to avoid the
quick consumption, that has formerly run
through our village ON the appearance Of hard
times, let them be careful of their expenses
be careful who they credit, and be careful how
they get credited. If they would avoid too
great a depression in their business, they
must pull in as fast as their lines slack up, as
the fishermen say.-HauerAW Banner. I

{ JOHN S. OER.-The Boston Journal of the
18th instant says:
This individual, who has occasioned so
many disturbances in this vicinity during the
past few weeks, ''blew his horn in South
Boston this forenoon, and was promptly ar
rested and committed to the lock up.
1t is to be hoped that some measures will
now be adopted to prevent this nischievous ia
matte and his aiders and abettors from melting
new riots.
Two or three respectable citizens of Ward IL
visited the Chiefs Office to-day, as friends of
Orr, and among the number was an ex-mem-
Der of the Common Council, who expressed
himselfas in favor of the ''freedom Of speech"
and 1T is to be inferred of the right of any one
to blow trumpet, collect about him gang
of disorderly persons, and incite to riot.

AGRICULTURE IN CALIFORNIA. Well found
ed fears are entertained in some quarters, says
the San Joaquin Repub5ican, that California
is producing more wheat that viii be required
for her own consumption. If San joaquin
county alone produces l ,25O. 900 bushels, (and
this is the estimate of the farmers themselves)
and if the crop of San joaquin county pre-
sents any index to the crops of other counties,
then we shall have crop of 20,Oo0,OOO bush
els. Then comes the question-What shall
we do with all this grain: The milling ia
cillties are not of sufficient capacity for the
grinding of even a fraction of this enormous
quantity Under these circumstances it would
appear that the millers would make enormous
fortunes, while the farmers will lose. a

There are weekly lectures at this institution
on Wednesday, Immediately before the meet
ing of the Euphemia. These lectures are de-
livered alternately, by Prof Misner and Mr..
Staples. The lecture of Wednesday, 10th
inst, by Prof. Misner, was one of course
upon Roman history. 1t contained a brief ac-
count of the last important event of the fabu-
lous period, the taking of Rome by the Gauls,
with some valuable observations upon those
traits of national character, which enabled
the Romans to recover their position and
closed with few remarks upon the distin-
guished characters of this period, and some
practical lessons for the young ladies, drawn
from the lives of Sappho, the poetess, Sem
pronia, Xantippe, and other famous women.

Opposition to it is increasing in the Southern

from Virginia, four from North Carolina, and
FIVE from Tennessee. The Administration is
alarmed for the result. Douglas was up all

We wonder how Douglas managed call

he employ himself in exploding Champain
corks, or in making out commissions for gov
eminent Offices We pause for reply.
