THE SCHOOL BOARD held its annual monthly
meeting last evening. The report of the super
intendent mentioned the various changes, which
have been published already, recommended
the purchase of the vacant lot OPP
posite the Belmont street house, for primary
schools, which he claimed would soon be de-
manded in that locality. And recommended
that the board authorize the closing of the
schools on Friday and Saturday, the 9th and
10th, and request the teachers to attend the
meeting of the county teachers association at
Fitchburg, to be held on those days.
Mr.. StOddard again brought up the matter of
shortening the afternoon sessions, and an order
passed as offered by incorporating that "the
teachers in the public schools may during the
remainder of this term in their discretion, dis
miss their scholars at four O'Clock P. NJ" This
order did not pass until it had been discussed
for an hour or more, and then by only feeble
majority.
The committee on school houses was in
structed to report on the expediency of placing
lightning rods upon the school houses.
MeSsrs. Jaques, Aldrich, Goddard, Woodward,

ONE of the pleasantest of the anticipated
literary events of next year is the reappear-
ance of DIR. o. W. Holmes as the contributor
of series of papers to the atlantic, to be
called IA Poet at the Breakfast Table" Ma
ny of our younger American wits are anus
ing fellows enough; but some of them are sad
mountebanks, while none Of them approach
the admirable DOCTOR in learning, elegance
and genuine literary merit. Lowell is the on
ly humorist on this, or, indeed, on the other
side of the Atlantic, who is worthy to be
compared with him. All the rest but Bret
Harte, who will live as story teller after his
humor is forgotten, are ephemeral creatures,
conspicuous for the moment, but sure to be
forgotten before the beginning Of another
century, while Holmes will outline all but a
very few of his literary contemporaries. Many
and fattering have been the triumphs of the
atlantic since its career begun, but it is re-
affirming truth universally acknowledged to
say that nothing published in its columns has
ever attained anything like the popularity Of
the "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" Age
seems rather to strengthen than to impair the
keenness of DIR. Holiness intellect, and his
rank as a scientific philosopher has become
even higher than that which he has attained

journal says that he means, if he can, to make
himself the head and leader of the whole body
of the American Germans, and to render
them distinct and influential in our politics in
much the same manner that the Irish have
been. Still another hints that he is aggrieved
