The Public Night schOOIs.

ONLY ONE TO BE OPENED BY THE BOARD OF
EDuoATIoN-FoR LADS AND YOUNG MEN.
By the action of the Board Of Education,
at its late meeting the night-school season
is about to commence. This time there
will be but one school opened instead of
three as heretofore. This school will begin
on next Tuesday evening, at the Taylor
Academy building, now known as School
House No. 8, corner of Eighth and
Wollaston streets. 1t will be for young
men only, of sixteen years OF age
and upward. From this class of pupils
courtesy, politeness and general good man
ners will be expected. The desks and seats
will be of somewhat new and convenient
pattern, admirably adapted to insure COM
fort to the larger and older scholars who
are expected to occupy them. The room is
on the first floor, is large, convenient, we'll
warmed and ventilated and is in all res
pects we'll suited to the purpose intended.
The tuition fee will be one dollar for the
season, and must be paid in advance. This
small amount is barely sufficient to
pay for the wear and tear of books,
to say nothing of the cost of ink, paper,
pencils, pens, states, &c. The teachers are
selected from those now in the employment
of the Board, and are fully competent for
the work. In addition to the usual instruc-
ton, lscientifc lectures and experiments
will be given, and other features will be in
troduced, calculated to interest and improve
the pupils. Young men who are prevented
from attending day schools can have no
better opportunity than this to familiarize
themselves with the knowledge of a common
school education, even though it be on 9
limited scale.
Messrs. Eckel, Hilles, ard Baird, are the
committee having charge of the school.

Republican Florida.

THE DEoTsIoN OF A CAREFUL AND ACCURATE
MAN ON THE SITUATION IN THE STATE
FLORIDA CERTAIN FOR HAYES.
SpesaGl Dispatch to the Ne,o York Times.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lex Senator o.
borne telegraphed to the National Commit
tee to-day that Florida is all right. He
says nothing further, but the few words he
sends are given great weight. Gen. Osborne
has not been in Florida during the excite.
ment, but has only been at home long
enough to carefully examine the situation.
He lis a very painstaking, accurate
man, and besides promised to send his hon
est Judgment, whether favorable or un-
favorable. The Importance of not conceal
ing an unfavorable conclusion was particu-
larly impressed, and therefore the brief
dispatch from him means much. Mean
time, it is we'll understood that the Demo-
Gratis are looking chiefly to Florida for their
lacking vote, and measures have been taken
to have the Republican delegation now in
the State amply reinforced.

A STRANGE FORGERY.

the President requesting possession OF the
documents. Efforts have been made to
catch the forger, but without success.

Gus use of the documents, or desired to
keep them as curiosities, can only be con-
iectured. The President saw the end of
our great show as he assisted at its begin
