The number of pupils enrolled in 1873
IA, was greater than in any previous year,
being 3,723. The past year the number
was 1865. -tar Arg .rf -ta 30
y The per cent. of attendance last year was
96.0T greater than ever before.
The total cost per pupil was also greater
than for the three preceding years, being
So. %, against S2l.S9 in IS72-3, S2l.13 in
1872, and $2063 in 1S7t-1.
The scholastic population IS 507 greater
than il was last year, but there has been a
decrease of O.26 in the per cent. Of enroll
ments on population, and Of 3-2S on emu
meratiOn. The total number entered in
the white schools was ESQ, and in the
cOiored $50. Last year the numbers were
respectively 2,776 ard 946; being an in
crease of a in the former, and a diminu-
ton of 10 in the latter; this shows where
the deficiency has occurred.
The total number of teachers employed
last session was 20; two of them were prin-
clpals respectively of music and drawing.
and three taught German. The corps has
been increased by two special and three
regular members since last session.
The publication of the questions used in
the last annual eXamin ItiOn for the various
grades is an important feature of the re-
port, as it Is the only absolute exhibit of
the thOroughneSs Of instruction and degree
of scholarship required. An examination
OF the test questions put TO the senior class
of the High School will convince any per
son wcll-informed on the subject that the
attachments in the High School fully equal
those Of a majority Of the colleges in this
country.

1t is not True There seems to be an
opinion prevalent with some persons that
there will be further postponement of the
Library Concert. There is no ground for
this idea. We speak eE-catkedra when we
say that Gov. Bramlette informs us, and
through us the public, thai the drawing
will take place ON the S0th Of November as
surely as that day will arrive in the calen-
dar. Those who wish TO partake of the
benefits of the gifts, or to add their mite to
the success of the great Library, should not
delay an hour to become shareholders in
the grandest enterprise ever offered to the

RoMANrIc.-A young man in this city aged
II years, has just married girl but fifteen
years of age. The father of the girl objected
to the match, and when he heard that the day
for the marriage was set, locked the girl in her
ROOM But also love recognizes no locks or bars
and as the appointed hour for the wedding
drew near, the young lady, not in the least
daunted, prepared herself and jumped from her
window. 1t was agreed that the couple should
meet at the house of a certain justice of the
peace, and there be made one. The young lady
in question was promptly on hand at the ap-
pointed time, and the ceremony was duly per-
formed. When the indignant father went to
the room of his daughter to release her. he
found the room vacant and note on the table
saying that she was Mrs.. The father at
once sent word to her that she need not return
to his house. 1t was probably unnecessary, as
the young couple are now living as happy as
two clans in high water, all by themselves.

A PREcoc1oUs VLLAIN-A motherless boy,
ten years of age, named George w. Stanton,
boarding with Mrs. Morrow of Auburn, on
Tuesday, during the absence of Mrs M, broke
open small trunk, taking from it $3.50. He
then went to the gunshop of G. F. Mason and
purchased single-barreled fowling piece, pay
| ing therefor $40. He then returned to the
house, took quantity of pies and other viands
| into his possession, and accompanied by girl
of about his own age, started for the woods
west of the Maine Central depot with his ar
mament of musket and pies.
Two young men, who were advised of the
theft, went to bring him back. They found
him, but the lad cooked his gun, and said:
LET me alone or I'll shoot you." The young
men, not liking to face SO much music, retired
without interfering with the rebellious youth,
while the little girl remained at his side.
| The young men then notified officer Joseph
Littlefeld, who proceeded to the woods over
the hill north of Auburn Heights. The officer
found the lad and the girl. The boy, on seeing
the officer approaching, again cooked his gun,
rested it on fence, and deliberately remarked
to Lttlefeld,. keep off, or I'll shoot you. "
Littlefield paid no attention to the threat, but
kept on The boy then got down from the
fence and started off. The officer followed, and
the boy finding that he was being overtaken,
wheeled around, brought the gun to his should
er and fred. The gun was loaded with shot
The charge went, he thinks, within foot OF
his head, The officer then made plunge fol-
the boy and took him into custody.
