Toll Roland Toll.

Tn, new school house bell. for which the people are indebted to the teacher, NIT. H.. Sherman. and he to his friends east, whom he induced on hi, Centennial trip to con ,rihut, to it's purchase, arrived, as We have already noticed. la,t week, and was put UP in it. place in the tower on Saturday after noon but not allowed io mako @ sound until twenty minutes before tho close of tho old year when it began to send n silvcry peal ou, through the still night air. Soon the booming of giant cartridges was heard Us an accompaniment, and such ringing and firing WAS then kept up until twenty min utcs of the New Year had slowly moved in the calander of ls7., as was never before heard in Prescott.
 High in S, Bavon's tower,
 Al midnight hour,
 The great bell Roland spoke,
 And all who slept Tn Ghcnt awoke.
 The acquisition of this splendid bell is another source of just pride in our people. They are proud of this school house, proud of their teachers. proud of the children and proud of the bell, not because, like the great bell. Roland, il is to call people to arms in the dead hour of night 10 save . threatened city. but because its to summon those who in after years are to take our places iu the active business of life, to their lessons. where they arc to he fitted for the stern duties that are to devolve upon them.
 Toll Roland toll.
 Not in St. Bavon's tower,
 Al midnight hour,- Nor bv the Schcldt, nor far off Zuyder Zee,
 But here, this side the Seal
 And here in broad bright day
 Toll Roland toll!'
