Meeting Of the Beard Of Educ.

5eet;n& Of the BEARD of Eauco-
t.On. TIE Board Of Education met
last Saturday evening The business
before the body was the reception Of
the report Of a committee appointed to
look irto the conduct Of school build
ing matters &c, &c. 1t IS evident
that there has been muon talk occa-
stoned through doubts. and fears that
something was going wrong which
ought to be set right. The Board
held a lengthy session during which
the contractor communicated with the
board and explained many things
which have appeared mysterious, and
which it rightfully became the duty
Of the Board to look into. Undoubt-
edly a settlement will be made with
Mr.. Purdy, and in some manner the
work of construction concluded
the coming spring.

Alarm of Fire. The bursting of
a lamp in Sir. Crosse s restaurant last
Sabbath evening occasioned such an
excitement as to empty the Congrega-
tional Church in a twinkling. The
cry of fire" and the quick. sharp
stroke of the fire bell caused the con-
gregation to scatter fearfully. We
doubt if anything short Of dinner
bell could have been more effectual in
clearing the house. The choir were
preparing to sing All We like Sheep
but they didn't sing. The Rev. was
left with only Ezekiel. who was excel
lent company to be sure. but the Elder

hands went home. We wonder if a

make US all run tother way. We learn
that there was no damage done to
speak of,

down on them like a swarm of grass
hoppers.
Dinner was served in Music Hall,
where four tables were spread with all
the subst antial food and dainties a
hungry individual could think of.
Never before did we see so b,untiful
