| HIGH SCHooI.--Last week we published the report
of meeting held by the young ladies' of the Fourth
District High School, in which the result of their
little newspaper was given, together with copies
Of resolutions donating the fund thus realized to
| GIN. Price's troops in Missouri Yesterday we re-
ceiyed the following note and accompanying docu-
ments from those young ladies'. 1t will be seen
that they desire us to publish the documents; but
we were of opinion that they would not be com
plete without the sweet little note sent to u.s. so
have determined to give our readers the perusal Of
all:

Dear Mr.. C1escerat--We have some news to tell
| you. We have had visit from two of the "big
|
F. Jackson. Yes, the genuine Governor not that
| bogus Governor at ST. Louis. Prof. Todd came to
! see US about month ago, and told US all about
Gen. Price and his army-how much they were
suffering for want Of clothing, medicines, etc.
Well, after he went away, we determined to give
all the money we made by our paper to Gen. Pree's
army. So last week our Treasurer paid it to Gov.
Jackson, and the Governor wrote us such a nice
letter in answer to the Treasurer's letter to him in
closing the money. And, more than that, yester.
day he actually came up to visit us at our quiet
little schoelroom on Chestnut street, and made us
a nice speech, thanking us for what we had done,
| and said many handsome things. (Now, Mr.. Ed
itor, don't you tell the Governor, butwe do say he
is very handsome man-such beautiful, coal-black
hair, fine form, tall and erect and, we guess,
about 40 years of age) Now, won't you do one
you any more--tM ,ent time. Please put these
two letters-our Treasurer's, and the Governors
reply--in your paper for us, and you will place
under renewed obligations
