diary. The Board Of Education are providing
suitable accommodation, so that the schools,
which we're progressing very pleasantly snd
prosperously, will suffer only = short Interrupt
ton.
There is no doubt that the FIRE Was the
work Of an incendiary. The mSn in charge
Of the building Ess about it. and left things
all right at o'clock p. m, and the FIRE
broke out at the other end Of the building from
the stoves and heGting apparatus. Wster was
poured in in ,uch quantities that the floors did not
fall, and many Of the scholars found their school
books unharmed in their desks, though the out
sides ofthe desks we're charred. Mr.. Atwood the
principal. lost some $50 worth of books The
d.m.ge to the building can be repaired for
$1,000, and the insurance Of 81, 800 will more
than cover the loss; but most Of the Plattsburgh
people do not wish to see the building repaired,
except with new one. |; was an old affair, has
been in constant use for over City year,, and was
uot an ornament to the village.
