succeeded by E. G. Smith, who is doing his work
in this grade thoroughly and successfully. The
Superintendent gives three-ffths of his time to
teaching in the High School, and the remainder to
supervision. Sixty-fye pupils are enrolled in the
High School, the largest number ever in attendance
in this grade during a summer term. They are
studying Latin, Greek, German, the Sciences and
Higher Mathematics. The graduating class this
year will equal or surpass in numbers any former
one.

This sketch can not be better conclqded than
with the following paragraphs from memoranda
furnished the writer by Prof Isaac Sans:
''To one who has closely watched the progress of
education and its results in the county of Highland
and village of Hillsboro for over forty years, the
vast ameloration in the attainments, the demeanor
and moral status of the youth, seems almost mi
raculous.
"And in general il may be affirmed of the educa-
tional condition of Highland county and OF Hills
boro, the county town, that agricultural county
of an equal population can be found to excel it in
either method or effect"

The SciOtO Valley II. R.-Its
Connection with the Jack
son Coal Fields, and with
Cincinnati via HiilsbOrO.i

The article copied in another
place, from the Chillicothe Register,
in regard to the re-letting of the
Springfield & jackson R. R., con-
tains a paragraph at the close that
is important, in view of the propos-
ed railroad connection between Hills
boro and the Scioto Valley r. R.,
over the old road bed from here to
Piketon, which many of our citizens
hope to see accomplished within the
next year OF two. It is stated that
Mr.. Emmitt intends to lay his track
between Jackson and the intersec-
ton of the Scioto Valley r. r., soith
long ties, in order that immediate
connection may be bad with Colum-
bus and Portsmouth, and it is ex-
pected that Mr.. Chapman Of the S.
V. r. R., will make the necessary ar
rangements for that purpose. We
have no doubt he will do so, as he
must see the great advantage to his
road of branch to the coal fields of
Jackson county. Nor can he fail also
to realize the much greater advan-
tage of short and direct connec-
tion soith Cincinnati which would be
secured to his road by closing the
gap of 35 miles between Piketon and
Hillsboro, thus making, in connec-
ton with the road from here to Gin
cinnati, the shortest coal railroad
leading into that city, By many miles.
With the work already done on the
old road-bed, amounting to over
S500,000, and the right of way, sub
scription of $4,000 a mile would fin
ish the road ready for the iron, which
could doubtless be obtained by sell
ing bonds secured by mortgage.
1t is true that Mr. Chapman will
have a connection with Cincinnati
by way of Chillicothe and the NJ. &
G. r. r. but the distance must be
from 80 to 40 miles greater than via
Hillsboro. And when he gets his
connection with the Chesapeake &
Ohio R. R., by a road from Ports
mouth to Huntington, which is sure
to be built, he must have the short
sst practicable line to Cincinnati, for
the immense business that will pass
over the G. & o. Il. R. as soon as
that road can secure direct railroad
connection with Cincinnati and the
West. This shortest line is via Hills
boro, and if Mr.. Chapman has not
already realized the fact, we COM
mend it to his serious atentien.
When the proper time comes ne
should be interviewed by some OF
our leading citizens, and the matter
laid before him, and we doubt not
he will render all the aid he can
toward the completion of the road
from Hillsboro to a junction with the
S. Y. R. r. at or near Piketon.

Re-Letting Of the SPRING
field & jackson r. r.

From the Chillicothe Register we
CLEAN the following facts in regard
to the recent re letting of the above
road, which was rendered nece ssary
by a difficulty with the Cincinnati
Construction Co., to which the former
contract was awarded
The Board of Directors of the S.
J. & P. Ry. held a meeting at the
Emmitt House in this city on Tues
day evening-The following gentle
men were present: President James
Emmitt, Secretary Geo. A. Barnes,
Chief Engineer W. G. Agnew, Fl. L.
Chapman of jackson, r. R. Seymour
of Bainbridge, W. W. Bell of Green
field and j. T. Warder of Springfield.
The business transacted was of
considerable Importance and includ-
ed re-letting of almost the entire
line. The grading of the road from
jackson to the Scioto river was let
to Sternberger, Pugh & Mitchell, of
jackson. The masonry other than
that for the Scioto river bridge near
Waverly, for the road between Wa
verify and Jackson, was awarded to
Richardson & Moprosof Scioto conn
ty. The contract for the trestle-
work for the lower portion of the
line was giyen to Mr.. Rhoney of
Bainbridge, while the contract for
ties along the entire line was award
ed to Burns and Mcclure, of Jack
son G. H. On that part of the line
lying between Waverly and Jackson
no contracts were let, nor will there
be until the other portions of the
road are in shape. The contract for
the grading, masonry and trestling
of the road lying between Washing
ton c. II. and Springfield was let to
Messrs. Leonard & Frazer of New
York, and Ryan & Ohlson of Spring
field, Ohio, the bids being made on
sections and contracts let accord
ingly.
It is the design of the company to
lay lorg ties on the line between
jackson and the intersection of the
Scioto Valley railroad, in order thai
immediate connection can be had
with Columbus and Portsmouth, an6
also that the Valley road can be fur
nished with direct line to the Goa
fields. Mr.. Geo. d. Chapman was
telegraphed for and promised to ar
, rive here last evening. Nothing
definite as regards an arrangement
between the parties was concluded
upon at the time of going to press
