OrrR scHooLs.-An open on Monday
next after a vacation OF two months. We
are glad 10 learn that the prospects OF all oil

never better. Parents far and near are be-
ginning TO accord 10 Jackson the msea OF
praise it deserves in the number and ex-
ceIlence Of its schools-send your children

The Ball at the College building on Tues
day evening last, was pronounced q deeid-
ed success. The cool breeze that Moved
the leaves of the giant oaks around those
classic Halls and fell upon the heated bro"
of the dancers like ''dew on Hermon," was
certainly very acceptable that evening. All
went merry and gay till the wee short
hours, Of morning bid them seek their
homes.

On Saturday last about one O'Clock, the |
frame residence Of Mr.. Carroll, on College |
street East Of Royal, was discovered to be
on fire. Before the alarm could be given
and assistance reach the spot the house
was entirely consumed. By strenuous ef-
forts on the part Of the fremen and citizens,
the fire was confined 10 the building In
which It originated. Some OF the furniture
was saved. We have heard no estimate Of
the loss. The building was an old one and
burned like finder.
