ocAL INTELLIGENCE,
aNONG THE STUDENTS.

II would well pay any III interested
Nm the cause of education, to visit our
sublic school. Yesterday we made a
i,rief call, and were well repaid in wit
Messing the scholars engaged in their
Indies and recitations, all of whom
aLow a decided Improvement since the
nrening of the present term. The
Principal, MI. Chamberlain, is evil
f,cn,lv the right man in the right place,
Ind those placed under his care for in
<,rrction seem greatly satisfied with
heir teachers. Among the exercises
Yesterday was a spelling match, in
xhirh the school, equally divided, en-
Iaccd in All enIulOls struggle fOrs SUI
Irrmacv in the art. The match was
EIo.elv contested, but one after one of
She participants were obliged to with
3lraw from the contest, until Miss An
m, ReSentha! was left alone on the
fioor, and consequently declared the
Ninner. All those who engaged in the
Hstrife spelled remarkably well, and
have a creditable display of their abili-
lies. We hope to see the plan encour
hrcl. The system introduced by the
Principal is we'll adapted to the re-
SuireInent of the students, and will, it
ds hoped. prove a success, as nothing

DANGEROUs.-We noticed yesterday
Several men engaged in cleaning bot
tiles, using shot in performing the
work. 1t is evident that those adopt
jug this method know not what they
are doing when r..nsinY their dirty bot
/ Ties that are used for wines and other
beverages. When shot are placed in a
glass with water, carbonate Of lead is
at once formed, and on examination Il
portion of it can be noticed acting as Il
p"rcipitate ir the wafer, while the
other portion of it attaches itself as a
thin film to the sides of the vessel.
This film adhcrcS Sc firmly to the
q glass that it Fan not be removed by
rm>ing with water alone, an acid
n leing required to remove it. II
II the bottles aro we'll washed out,
tie carbonate of lead will lie removed.
hu, that porto which is attached to
the sides of the bottle remains, and is
afterwards dissolved by the liquids
q placed therein. if it possesses sufficient
solvent power. II the shot are only
shaken up with the wafer for Il short
time it is scarcely possible for the car-
donate of lead to become attached to
the sides of the bottles, but oftentime>
the vessels are left standing for some
time: besides. the rillsing is no Away
done So carefully as it should be, and
the carbonate of lead suspended III the
water is not all removed. Another
danger also arises from the shot getting
lodged in the narrow creaSeS at the bot
toms nf certain bottles. when the action
of theacid upon it would dissolve not
only the lead, but also the arsenic
which is always present in shot Sltii-
Gent To render the liquids poisonous.
Those practicing the method should
take warming.
