SCHOOL MEETING.-The regular meeting
of the School Committee was held last evening.
Niarson Eaton and John Wendell, of the Tat
muck District, near the Leicester line, petition
ed that their children might be allowed to at
tend the Leicester schools, and that their por-
ton Of the school money might be allowed
them, under the law of 1855, to meet the ex-
pense required. L. r. Hapgood of Shrews-
bury presented the counterpart of these petit
tons, that his son might be admitted to the
Worcester schools. The memorials involving
an important principle were referred to spe-
cial committee, consisting of Messrs. w. w.
Rice, j. d. L. Jones, and S. " Stone
The acceptance of the office of Superintend-
ent of Schools by Rev J. d. L. Jones was
read and placed on file. His salary was fixed
at S1400
The resolutions offered by DR.. Workman at
the last meeting, prescribing that no scholar
should be required to pursue more than three
studies at the same time, and that they shall
be so arranged that no scholar shall be obliged
to study out of school, were taken from the
resolutions, showing the disastrous effects of
excessive mental exertion upon young and I'M
developed constitutions, and deprecating the
disposition of many teachers to exact of them
more than they can bear. The resolutions
were finally referred to the Superintendent.
On the motion of Rev Mr.. Faunce, another
appropriation of 500 was made to secure
musical instruction in the Grammar and
Secondary schools during the Summer term
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Chamberlain, the
trict for the same purpose, the inhabitants to
increase it by an equal amount.
The report of the Principal of the High
School for the term now closed was read and
placed on file. 1t contained important suges-
tons which were referred TO special commit
tees.
Relative to the subject of examinations for
admission to the High School, it was proposed
by Mr.. II. r. Greene of the Thomas street
Grammar School, that an improved system of
recording the proficiency and progress of pu-
pills be adopted i'll the schools of his grade, and
that certificates OF admission to the High
School be made up from these records of daily
and monthly scholarship, without specific ex-
animation at the beginning Of the year. The
subject was referred to a committee consisting
of Messrs Jones, Burbank, and Workman.
The subject of devising some system of
physical training to be introduced into the
High and other schools was referred to a spe-
cial committee consisting of Messrs Stone,
Workman, Harding, Goddard and Earle
The memorials of inhabitants of New Wor-
cester, and of parents interested in the Syca-
more street grammar school were referred to
the visiting committees of those schools. Mr..
Jones was excused from acting upon the spe-
cial visiting committees, and Mr.. Power was
appointed in his place.
The Board adjourned for one month.

scr makes the notice the groundwork for an
interesting argument in favor of driving the
pernicious compounds out of the market, which
are now sold under the name of wines, "by
substituting for those poisonous substances our
own pure juice of the grape" In this, he
speaks of wines made of our native grapes, as
rivalling the best wines of Europe.

SUPREME JUDICIAL CoURr-Jadge MetcaLf'
PTeSiding.-The case of Isaac Stevens ct al.
VS.. James p. Lynde ct ux. of Athol, which
has occupied the time of the Court about one
week, was decided yesterday by verdict,
setting aside the will. This was a case of
much interest and Importance involving prop
erty to the amount of some $4,000. Upwards
of so witnesses from Athol, were in atten-
dance. The circumstances of the case are
briefly these: The late John Brooks of Athol,
who died last year, left will bequeathing to
his only child, Mrs. Lynde, real estate of the
value of $1,000, and directing the balance of
his estate to be sold and the proceeds to be
securely invested by trustees named who
were to pay to his daughter $500 annually,
beside whatever else might be needful for the
support or comfort of Mrs Lynde and the ed
ucation and support of her children &C., the
balance to accumulate, and the whole property
to go to the children at her decease. The will
had been allowed and proved by the Judge of
Probate and the action pending was an appeal
from his decision. The appellants sought to
set aside the will on the ground that the tes-
tator was insane at the time of making the will,
and that he made it while under undue influ-
ence from others. On both these issues the
jury found for the appellants. Devens & Hoar
for the appellants; Wood of Fitchburg, and
Bacon & Aldrich for the defendant.
The case of Reuben S. Denny VS.. the New
York Central Railroad was then taken up, and
is still on trial. This is an action to recover
damages for loss of wool of plaintiff on the
New York Central Railroad by the great fresh
ct near Albany, last winter, which washed
away the bridge Dewey for plaintiff, Devens
& Hoar for defendants.

Destructive FIRE IN UxBRIDGE.-Be-
tween ten and twelve o'clock, yesterday fore
noon, the barn belonging to Amariah A. Wood
of Uxbridge, about mile below the depot, was
destroyed by fire. Fifteen head of cattle and
one colt persisted in the flames. Every at
tempt was made that was in the power of those
present to rescue the stock, but without avail,
as the maddened animals, although loosened
from their fastenings, persisted in rushing into
the flames. Some ten cords of wood were also
destroyed.
The fire extended to the woods adjoining,
but both of the engine companies were pres
ent, and by their exertions in connection with
the aid of the citizens, the flames were arrest
ed. We are unable to state whether there was
any insurance upon the premises or the prop
efty contained therein.
FIRE IN UPToN.-Some brush on the lands
of Elijah Warren in Upton was set on fire,
Monday, which spread with great violence
and rapidity over the land of Warren and of
David Eames, doing great damage. The cit
liens turned out in large numbers to eight
the fire, but it was not extinquished till near
ly two hundred acres had been burned over.
Some Of the land was exceedingly valuable,
and has suffered heavy loss.
FIRE IN LEIcEsTER.-The dwelling house
and barn of Liberty Bacon, situated in the
Northwest part of Leicester, was entirely
1actroUaJ lx-f NJ
Very little was saved from the house, and a
horse was suffocated in the barn. Insured for
a small amount. The.great distance from the
village; (about three miles) prevented the
citizens and firemen from doing so efficient
service as they otherwise would. It's supposed
the fire was the work of an incendiary, though,
what motive there could be, is as yet a mystery.
Scarcely had the firemen returned from this
before an alarm was given for another fire in
the Southeast part of the town, which proved
to be forest on fire., but which was speed
lily extinguished.
MORE FIREs,-The house of Mr.. i. Fair
banks, in West Brookteld, caught fire last
Saturday afternoon, and was damaged to the
value of about $500; fully insured.
The Transcript states that about seventy
five acres of pasture and other land belonging
to Christopher Adams, VI Northbridge, much
of which was covered with growth of young
wood, was burned over last Saturday after
noon. The fire is supposed to have been COM
municated by sparks from an engine. Mr..
Adams loss is very great
