FRIENDS OF THE FREE SCHOOLS:

An election is coming on next Monday
which may result in a majority of the City
Council adverse to your cherished Free
School system. We make no direct charges,
but there is good reason to believe that un-
derhanded attempts will be made to strike
down those institutions which are the Pc
cular pride of our city, the intellectual
nurseries of the children of the poor, the
foundations from which flow streams Of
learning for the benefit of all.
We charge the friends of the Schools,
therefore, as they value these inestimaele
blessings TO exert themselves to bring out
IL full Free School vote next Monday, for
candidates for the Council in the respective
Wards, who will pIedys themselves to sus-
tain the Schools under all circumstances
Turn out yourselves, aud persuade your
apathetic neighbors to do likewise.
Fl the full 01te ca b. brought ont, al
will be well. There are enough votes to
sustain the Schools. The danger is, that
the friends of the Schools will be careless,
while their enemies are active and vigilant.
Lower hi vision OF the w 81 L. Canal.
Mr.. NJ. A. LAWRENCE returned, Thursday
evening, from trip up the Canal, and has
been making estimates in company with
our efficient Canal Superintendent, as to the
cost of repairs on the wood structures nee
essary TO keep the Canal navigable the COM
ing season. He finds that the heaviest out
lay will be on the White River Aquaduct,
which needs prompt attention. 1t will cost
about ST 800 to render it safe for some
years. The locks will require but a small
expense to render them passabe for the next
twelve months.
The banks are in a safer and more relia.
ble condition than they ever have been, the
weak places having been raised and widened
during the past summer and fall.
The expense of this important work has
been cut down lower than was ever antici-
pated. IT is to be hoped that all who have
not paid up their assessments will do so
without delay, as every dollar will be need
eI to pay off past outlays and complete the
HStSoSeti ~ hCCp hstiCI III liC
Canal.
&r. Lawrence desires us to say that it
is impossible for those having charge of the
Canal, under the present arrangement, to
keep up the bridges along the line.
Every cent of money subscribed, and all the
revenue, is required to keep the Canal in
proper order. If the bridges supposed
to become dangerous to travellers, and any
one gets hurt, there is at present no person
or corporation responsible for damages. So
it will be better for the people interested
along the line to keep the bridges in repair.
Some towns have already done this, and all
would do well to make up their minds to
do the same, if they expect the canal to be
kept in navigable order.
