The new horse dsese (eplzooty or epizootic)
is prevailing to so great an extent here that we
begin to feel the inconvenience OF a scarcity Of
teams to do the ordinary work. required to
them quite seriously. The disease seems to
have spread over the whole country and be-
come so general that nearly AL kinds Of busl-
ness requiring .team-workis IN measure sus-
pended. Persons owning horses that have 30
far escaped the conagion refuse TO work them
lest they come in contact with those afflicted.

SCnooLs.-The Courier contains a col
umn article upon this subject, evidently
thrown together by somebody more famil-
lar with the use of an ak and tripod than
the pen and paste-pot. We have only
space to correct few misstatements of the
writer. First, the pro rata charge on pu-
pills in the District school has not been Sc
as stated by the Courier; I'd, the Public
school was not closed against such scholars
as could not pay the pro rata-no scholar
has ever been denied the privileges of the
school; Sd, the "prcsent worthy, efficient
and popular principal" has not had the
school-house renovated and repaired. All
the repairs were made before Mr.. Boynton
was employed, by the Board Of Trustees,
and Mr.. Boynton neither suggested nor
advocated the Improvements. Several
other mistakes Of minor importance occur,
but these arc the essential points upon
which the writer relics-and without these
props his structure falls fat as pam
cake.
