INCREASE OF SCHOLARS IN SCHooLs.-At
the last meeting of the school board Mr..
Jones, the superintendent, made statement
of the number Of pupils during the summer
term of 1868, by which it appears that the to-
tai number of scholars registered was 49il;
the average number registered, 1926; the
number who were perfect in punctuality, 034;
which, compared with 1862, shows gain in
the whole number OF 3 ID per cent; in at
tendance per cent. and in punctuality of
per cent. While the center district has been
increasing in the number of pupils, the SUI
burban schools have suffered small loss.
Many of the schools are overcrowded, and the
glaring evils resulting from such state Of
things has called forth an order from the
school committee forbidIing any more pupils
to be received ut any new schools or school
houses than the rooms are made to accommo-
date.
The Horse RAMRoAD.-The number OF
passengers carried over the Worcester horse
railroad during the month of September was
44,925 Our citizens are evidently satisfied
that the new enterprise is now really a neces-
sty, and one which they appreciate thorough
ly. Although the road has been opened but a
single month, it has already given new inn
petus to the business aspect Of our tiourishng
city, and we hope that the day is not far dis
tant when it will travel other streets, and even
connect us with adjoining towns. We under
stand that a project is already on foot for Its
continuance to Cherry Valley and Leicester.
Music AT HORTICULTURAL HALL.-1hrough
the liberality of Mr.. Thayer the accomplished
| organist, the musical public were last night

rees-this time at Horticultural Hall. Mr..
j. D. Moore has recently placed there very
fine organ, constructed by himself and pre-
vious to the concert satisfactorily exhibited
the power of the instrument. Mr.. Thayer
| played an excellent programme, including a
| figure from Bach, the Trumpet Chorus from
| the 0ratorio of Samson, selections from Men
dessohn, Auber, Meyerbeer, and one Of his
own composition. He had valuable vocal as
sistance from Mr.. Stocking. The hall looked
very coy and is nice for concerts. 1t was
full of appreciative listeners, who were gener-
Gus in their applause.
