For the Worcester Daily Spy.

THE people of Worcester will be gratified to
learn that Mr.. Hunts school proposes to enter
tain them next Friday evening with another ex-
hibiiion.
The design of the exhibition in,Octuber was to
give the citizens an opportunity TO see what
kind of physical education their children were
receiving in the public schools. The very gem
eral satisfaction which that effort gave has en-
Outraged tie school TO try again. This time il
6enecotent object is the motive. The school great
ly needs a musical instrument. The city never
furnishes one to IA school. 1t must be dispensed
with, or the school itself must furnish it. For
the landable object OF procuring one the school
now invite the public 10 witness their proposed
exhibition, which will include declamations
reading and music, as well as physical exerci es.
Inns is Lot novel mode Of providing for the
extraordinary wants OF school. The high
school Is now enjoying the luxury of "a tine-
Toned and beautiful piano which that school
purchased with funds raised in similar manner
Those who know the value of music in II school.
Ite influence in refining and elevating the taste
VIII appreciate the generous efforts now made by
Mr.. Hunt and his excellent scholars j.

Milford Journal tells a story of a certain person
who had recently been employing poor women
in making army shirts at six cents apiece, and
who stepped out lately, owing number of his
employees small sums of from seventy five cents
to three dollars each. A meeting was held at
the depot for the storage of the shirts made and
their manufacture unpaid, when, by some acct
dent, the place, which had been shut up several
days, got opened; and as there was pile of army
shirts laying about, the poor women whose
money had not been forthcoming we're advised
to help themselves from the heap, and they did

sued an order commanding all soldiers absent
from their regiments without leave to return to
their commands, or hold themselves liable TO the
full penalty of military law, which is DEATH.
The books of his office contain the names of
twelve hundred and fifty deserters, embraced in
the full returns of only seven regiments and &C.
casional reports from companies The desertions
from the whole state are estimated at five per
cent of the enlistments, which is due in part to
the incOmpetency of officers, ana in part to the
general laXity of discipline which prevails in he
army. The guilty who have taken advantage of
circumstances to escape are warned that no tenn
pOrary impunity from arrest will protect them,
but that all pains will be employed for their de-
lection and punishment
