PROBABILITIES.

The barometer will probably rise through
out the Missouri valley, but will fall Thurs
day on the gulf coast. Cloudy weather will
probably prevail from Kentucky north and
east, with snow tonight very generally from
Maryland to Maine. The lowest barometer
will advance northeastward over New Eng
land, preceded by increasing easterly winds
and followed on Thursday by fresh northwest
winds and cloudy weather in the Middle and
Eastern States. Cloudy weather will con-
tinue on the gulf coast, and partially cloudy
weather and rising temperature in the in
terror of the Gulf and Southern States.

as permanent fund, and put the school on a
solid basis and insure its success. Towards
completing this preliminary endowment all
the efforts have been directed, and thus far
| with most gratifying success, and only COM
paratively small balance now remains to be
be made up. And it is confidently hoped that
all necessary arrangements will be effected in
season for an early spring term.
The interest in the matter has been con-
stantly growing not only in the denomination
under whose auspices it is started; but as the
aim and scope of the school contemplated is
more fully understood, it is meeting with de-
cided favor from many of the leading literary
and professional men throughout the State.
1t is proposed to establish Classical and Eng
ish School of the highest order, and for both
sexes, similar and equal in all respects to the
Andover and Exeter schools, with one import
ant difference viz: that the education Of the
seres shat be in common tchile boarding sep
or0tely. That there is great room and de-
mand for such a school in this State is quite
manifest, and that it would be largely patron
lied, is placed beyond question by the nu-
merous applications for admission already re-
ceived. Considerable numbers are waiting in
different parts of the State to enter both the
Classical and English departments. The cx-
penses of schools of this kind and class are
becoming so enormous that they are almost
placed beyond the reach OF all but the wealthy.
1t is intended in this plan to provide school
with equal advantages and at the same time
with far less cost and in q word to found an
institution that will do for Maine in .the CEN
turtles to come, what the schools above re-
tetred to have done for their States respect
ing the past. II. +. II.
