nG- The growth of Tell City is ono of
the wonders of the year. On Monday, a
grand celebration of the Fourth of July
will take place in the city. The Canelton
Reporter says:
Tell City is becoming fixed fact. The
colonists are coming in at the rate of 100
a week. The population is now from ten to
twelve hundred. This is doing pretty well
for less than three months work. Ii is eX-
pected that the city will number 5000 at the
close of the year.

Bd~Our free schools have been closed
OF the summer vacation. During the week
the annual examination of the scholars, in
the various departments, have attracted a
large number of visitors to the schools, who
have been highly gratified with the evidence
of the rapid progress of the scholars, and of
the order and excellent discipline preserved
by the teachers. The schools have been
very fully attended during the season, and
were never in more flourishing and eff
ficient condition. Each years experience of
their benefits commends them more and
more to popular favor; and when other
cities have been deprived of their free schools
by an unfortunate Interpretation of the law
and the constitution, the preservation of our
excellent seminarieS, seems to have given TO
them the value of peculiar privilege, in
the estimation of our citizens. In the re-
organization of our establishment we have
been unable to attend, but we are assured
by those who were present, that the exam
nations afforded the highest qualification tc
the large audiences that witnessed them.-
In the opinion of many, they surpassed any
previous exhibitions, and the High School
where many feared a decline, as conse-
quence of a change of instructors, fully suS-
tanned its former high standing. All bea,
testimony to the ability and faithfulnesS O
the teachers, and to the excellence of tn,
system, no part of which can be changed
without impairing the whole, and in whicl
the High School is the browning benefit il
the opinion of all.
