While our worthy City Council are
not at present engaged in any very i'm
portant legislation, We must congratulate
them upon the considerate tone of their
work. They are exhibitjag wise and
prudent economy, making no new sp-
propriations, curtailing expenses, and
striving to pay of some Of the City'sin
debtedness We trust this economical
position is not the result of the present
depleted condition Of the treasury. We
thank them that some suggestions 10 the
Courier as to city affairs have not fallen
hcedlessly upon their ears: \ contract
has. been let for enclosing our city grave
yard with substantial PLANK fence; and
a new and nearer road leading to the

successful \ compromise has been ef-
fected relative to the vcxatious Wharfage
question, hY which the city is saved from
a long, tedious, aud doubtful law suit
These actions and others, so far down as
the dog law. are certainly wise and com
meudable. Upon the question Of city
bonds, the Council Jet adheres to its po-
sition. We have no desire to continue the
discussion Of tie subject now, but atan-

it is the most earnest desire of ali to see
our town filed up with a good, useful
and working population, and to this end
good schools are Of vast Importance. Ii
is useless to tell the father Of family
about the richness of our soil, our river
and railroad advantages, the great need
of labor and The high prices paid there
for, II we at the same time confess to
him that we have no schools in which to
educate his children. We mean no4iis-
paragement to the schools already in ex-
istencs, but aim only at their improve
ment; and refer TO their inferiority only
as comparative 10 the institutions we
should have. Because of this inferiori-
ty of schools, fathers with children to
educate, must go where there are good
schools. Howcau We expect persons to
leave or pass by places where they can
educate their children, TO come to town
like this, with all its acknowledged ad-
vantages, where such opportunities Of
education are withheld. The great mis-
take Of our town il that we are not uni
ted in this purpose. We have home pat
ronage sufficient to sustain such schools,
if il could be united, and our interest as
a town aud people should enforee this
union. Every year a number OF our
sons and daughters are forced to seek dis
tant institutions in which to complete
their educaiions. An old citizen esti-
mates that these students sent abroad
together with our younger scholars are
amplesto sustsin toe good colleges. If
these parents could be induced toad
vance the money at home that they have
