tinuous "ruD of over six weeks, has de-
parted. The warm sun and rains Of the
week past gives us once more view Of
earth. The camps of lumbermen have
been generally deserted, and fathers aud
brothers are home again, after one Of fthe
most successful seasons ever known in tho
history of log-drawing. Mill owners ARE
making the necessary repairs that, on the

for market the millions upon millions Of

The average enrolment does not in
clude the whole number Of scholars in at
tendance. 1t is obtained by dividing the
sum Of the actual number Of pupils Of
each week for the term. Thus, the aver
age enrolment is greater than the num-
Der Of pupils in school at the beginning,
but less than the number at the close of
the term. The number Of pupils seated
in the High School, for the first week Of
the fall term Of 1864, was thirty-three;
for The last week of the same term, sew
enty-four; and has been as high as eighty
one. In the Primary Department, for the
first week, one hundred and twenty-eight;
last week, one hundred md twenty-seven; !;
and has been as high as one hundred and
fifty-four. The intermediate Department,
throughout the term, has kept inside the
limits, fifty-five and sixty-one.
Owing TO the want of room we have
been compelled TO change several classes
from one room TO another, so that it is
impossible to give the accurate number Of
pupils enrolled iu each department. The
per cent. of attendance, it will be seen, is
greater by seven por cent. than last year,
yet the difference, with little attention
on the part of parents, might be made
still greater. This is the greatest diff
Guilty the teachers have TO contend with
the irregularity Of attendance. 1t is to
be hoped that the patrons Of the school
will encourage the teachers in their efforts
to decrease this prevailing evil in ouI
schools.

says, we don't observe that Sherman was

rounds of Parrot guns which Gov. Moore,
and other public speakers let of at his
advancing columns, and unless the repre-
sentatiyes Of the people take the field
themselves and secure position SO close
that they can hear what they say, we
have no hopes for him who puts his fin
gers in his ears and runs for his life.
The Wing declares that the rebel treas
ury is nearly exhausted, and has issued
all the notes permitted by law. The ar
my must be paid, and money must be
raised to pay il, and the only practicable
way to accomplish this object is BY get
ting money enough back into the treasu-

done by taking advantage of the liberal
