The PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Fall term Of
the public schools OF this city opened on
Monday last. The number Of pupils in at
tendance al the schools yesterday, was 503.
We inadvertently omitted to state last
week. that three Of the teachers, Miss Lou
ise Turner, Miss Lucy Carpenter, and Miss
Alice \. DeGrafI, are graduates Of the
Michigan Female College.
The crowded state OF our schools, and
the rapidly increasing population Of this
city. would seem to argue the necessity OF
some steps being taken, without delay, to-
wards the erection Of a High school build
ing. as contemplated by the city charter
The state has given perpetual lease to
the city Of splendid public square, front
ing on Capitol Avenue, near the seoeraph-
zeal centre OF the city.
TIE law provides that whenever the Board
OF Education Of this city shall determine,
bv resolution. what sum may be necessary
10 erect the necessary building on said pub
lie square Tor school purposes, said sum, or
such part thereof a. they may deem neces-
sarv. shall be assessed and levied on the
real and personal property OF said city, for
such building purposes, TO be collected a.
other school moneys, and applied by said
board for building as Aforesaid; provided
said resolution shall have been first APP
proved by said school district 20 be- deter
mined by a majority OF the votes in said
district, at regular city election. or at a
school meeting Of said district called by
said board for that purpose
We 90 not suppose that High school
building would probably be compfefei I'm
der three years from the time that the nee
essary LEGAL steps would have TO bee taken
for its erection. We are Of the opinion
however, that the time has fully arrived
when some steps, at least, should he taken
in the desired direction Duriag the com
ing year, the grounds might be graded and
fenced, the foundation laid, and the heavy
timhers brought on To- the ground During
the succeeding year, the walls might be
erected aud enclosed, and during the third
year. the building Doe entirely completed.
aud ready for occupancy.
The necessary amount of tax might bee
assessed and levied in three annual install
ments, aud the people would hardly feel lis
burden.
Such q binding, would not only supply
the actual wants Of the City, propcr, but IL
would, ike the High Schools at Ypsiland

ding towns.

lar state, and add TO the pccnuulH as well

MATERNAL AFFECTION In this vicinity

Oring to protect his sheep from destructive

from the imported breed which is so highly
valued in Europe The family consisted of
five puppies, which were supposed to he

one night the mother came into the house.
and went around to the members of the fam
lily complaining piteously, but rs no atten-
ton was paid TO her, the next morning she
renewed her personal applications for help
still more earnestly. She was followed to
the barn, and on opening the door il was
discovered that hen. whose nest had been
broken up, had gathered all the puppies in
to the middle oi the floor, and was cluck-
ing and talking to them. and brooding over
them with her wings most allectiOnately
On seeing the natural mother of the family,
this new stepmOther flew at her with the
most violent demonstrations of hatred re-
fGsing TO surrender her newly found treas
ures ana peace could only be restored 10y
the violent arrest OF the hen. and her per
manent expulsion from the barn. 1t is we'll
known that hens who have longing for
progeny viii often become mothers to ducks
and to other birds. but this is the first in
stance We ever heard of where one adopted
a family of dogs.

- Maj. Gen. Hitchcock has published
Il letter on the subject of the exchange of
prisoners. the cause of the suspension, the
inhumanity OF the rebel government, and
supports the policy of Secretary Stanton.
Gen. Hitchcock in this letter says as long
is the call Tor the exchange Of prisoners
was respected in the South. it was faithful
ly observed 10y our government, and there
was no reason to doubt its faithful execu-
ton by the government until the end OF the
war, unless properly revoked by competent
authority, if the rebel authorities had not
distinctly violated its terms under circum-
stances indeed OF great aggravatiOn. Gen.
III. adds; The day must come when every
true American will be proud OF the reilec-
ton that the government was strong enough
TO crush the rebellion without losing the
smallest amount Of its humanity or its dig

SOMETHING NEw.-We call attention 10
the advertisement of the Duplex Elliptic or
Double Spring skirt. Though a recent in
vention, it has become very popular, and
is rapidly obtaining the preference over
other kinds in use. The rods in it are COM
posed each OF two delicate and We'll tem-
pered steel springs, which are ingeniously
braided together edge to edge, the lower
heavier and having n double covering.
This popularity of construction makes this
skirt very strong and durable, and also ex-
ceedinSly flexible that il readily adapts il
self 10 the form OF the wearer, and allows
OF any amount of doubling and crushing
without injury to its shape. These skirts
are unqueStionably the lightest, most de-
Sirable, comfortable and economical ever
made. These are advantages which ladies'.
who have experienced the discomfort and
Inconvenience OF single springs, will duly
appreciate
