The paper was given to the iury,

AT THE RIGHT TIME

The case pending before our court
interested the people deeply. A few
months previously Jacob Ames had
died, leaving property to the amount
OF fifty to sixty thousand dollars, all
of which was readily available. At
first it was supposed that the old man

almost the individual care and attention
of the other, and both were beloved by
all who knew them. While people
were feeling glad that the orphan sis.

Much interest now attaches to the
system of teaching the two sexes to-
gether. An attempt has been made
to Introduce this into the St. LOWS
schools, and with much success. It is
well known that this has been the rule
rather than the exceptions in schools
and academies in the rural districts of
this country, and it seems to be very
received opinion that much
more good than harm accrues from this
system; the principal educators of the
country agreeing in the opinion that
no better way can be found to bring
the two sexes together without that
false glamor which obscurcs their
knowledge of each other, than to put
them side by side in the daily drill Of
a good literary institution.
