Cotton Ripened in Wisconsin.

Mr.. G. Butler, residing two m lies west O
this city, has left at this office, specimens oil
cotton grown on his premises in the open air,
the past season. The pods are large, fully
developed and ripened. This is matter o.
no practical Importance, for no one supposet
cotton can ever be grown to any advantag in
this latitude. Last summer and fall were
well calculated to perfect plants of this sort
The like may not happen again in some time
to come.

The dealers in various fancy articles, ard
Holiday presents in this city, were never bet
ter supplied for the trade than now. We ad-
wise our friends in the country, to look over
the columns of the newspaper: the most lib
eral dealers, in nine cases out Of ten, will be
found among those who ad vertise. Some PEG.
pie may smile with incredulity at such state
ment, but it has been too often demonstrated
to need fortifying by arguement.

.Pnhlio Schools.

The present term of the Public Sch oots II
this City, will close on Friday Como ROW
After vacation of two weeks, the sess don o.
the schools will be resumed. We are pl easeu
to note that the schools, during the pr esent
term, have been progressing pleasantly and
prosperously. Our educational inter ests,
which yield to no other in Importance, are
well provided and cared for. Our Public
Schools have for many years been matter OF
Just pride to our citizens. In whatever other
department we may shrink from comparison
with neighboring cities, in this, we have no
hesitancy in inviting the judgment of an en-
lightened public.
To those who estimate the measure of a
city's prosperity by mere dollars and cents,
the value of our educational institutions is
very likely to be overlooked. 1t is of course
a cause for satisfaction to have city property,
whether improved or unimproved, in good
demand, and trade brisk; yet this kind of
material prosperity is not always enduring
1t is continually liable to reverses. But the
knowledge impaired in our Public Schools,
is not subjected to reactions, like real estate
and merchandise it is enduring-imperish-
able.
It is proper in this connection to say, that
much credit is due Prof Albee, the Principal Of
the High School, not only for the success of
that department, but also for his advisory
aid to the other departments. The teachers
in the various departments, are earnest and
faithful, and deserve the commentator of
the friends of education,
