< High School-As the City Councilh has determin.
ed to discontinue the High School feature of the
Lancasterian school, it seems to ~ that n vvould
be wise policy to establish High School 20 be
kept at night 30 as to give Apprentices and others
opportunity of securing classical educations II
they desired 30 to do. The experiment Just made
by the Mechanics Institute fully convinces us that
the working men and boys Of Richmond are alive
to the Importance of education, and that they will
embrace every opportunity afforded them 10 learn.
At the night school now in operation there are one
hundred intelligent pupils regularly attending
three nights in the week; and the prospects are
that that number viii be doubled in the of the
present year. All these Lads after passing through
primary education, will desire to continue their
studies, and the city 1t to herself to see that
they are furnished the facilities for so doing.
Stealing Cd.f-Ned Logan, q free negro, and
Billy, slave to Walton +. Walthall, were arrested
yesterday by Watchmen Carter, Boze and Davis,
on suspicion of stealing calf When the officers
saw the negroes they had calf in bag, and at
temptedto escape with it, but finding the load too
heavy; dropped 1t and made tracks. OF course the
thieves were pursued, captured and lodged In the
cage. - le{1
Sabbing.-Ned Logan, free negro, charged
with stabbing another negro some time since, win
be examined before the Recorder this morning.
Ned isa notorious thief and probably will succeed
in getting permanent home in the penitentiary
before he gets through with the charges now
against him. t2 sS'i8'i i's-
