attention. Then have the dam fixed, for If
water gets much lower our mills will have

which has accomplished so much, will at
tend to these matters promptly.
THE scHooLs.-As before stated. the
public schools, or at least portion Of
them, close the scholastic year on Friday.
Under the charge Of the present efficient
teachers great progress has been made, and
the state of the mental and moral culture
OF the scholars is spoken of US highly arati-
flying.
The Episcopal school, taught By Miss
Lille Tiffy, closes on tomorrow. This
school is under the patronage of the ever
liberal Episcopal Church, and has afforded
gratuitous instruction to quite number of
pupils, whose department and general pro-
gress compare fayorably with any school in
town.
AT the High School of Miss I. Belle Fox
the regular course Of study ends to-day.
On Friday evening at O'Clock there will
be distribution Of prizes and other inter-
esting exercises at the residence Of +. W.
Redford. Esq. The extended reputation
OF this lady as teacher renders it almost
useless for us to say that the proficiency of
her scholars is both gratifying to her pa
irons and creditable to herself.
