Apparently great mistake Is made in the time
selected for sanding the hillside and other side
walks in the city. After the snow becomes tram
pied and glazed, so as to be about as smooth as
glass, the sand Is applied. Instead Of that method
it should be scattered soon after the work Of TIE

the past few days. the walks are yry dangerous
for public travel Two or three individuals, to
our knowledge, have fallen, AMI been quite Sc

was controlled by a general school law which
made no race distinctions. lie stated that it
might be that none of the colored boys would be
able to pass the necessary examination, or they
might be wholly withdrawn. More than this, the
school board might deem it necessary to establish
branch school and thus dispose of the question
in way consistent with the views and feelings
of the pupils of the 1Iige School.

found by his owner he was standing IN the sa-
