THE yellow fever is said to prevail to
an alarming extent in Rio Janeiro, and
this fact should awake the authorities of
all the maratime ports to extra precau-
tions to prevent its being introduced into
this country. The disease only makes
terrible ravages when introduced in early
spring, SO that long run is allowed be-
fore the frosts of fall come to kill it off.
The Baltimore Gazette, few days ago,
speaking of the crews of Baltimore YES
sells being ill in Rio, says: ga letter has
been received by Messrs. Loud, Claridge
& Co., from Captain Ford, of the bark
Palestina, now at Rio, stating that there
is scarcely a vessel at Rio on which there
are not several cases. Every one on
board the Palestina excepting the captain
and cabin boy had been attacked, and on
the schooner Maggie NJ. Rivers one Of
the crew had died and four of the crew are
Ill. The crews of a number of other
Baltimore vessels now at Rio have been
down with the fever" The publication
Of these facts at this season of the ysr
should be reminder to the authorities
Of all large cities of the necessity
for taking all necessary sanitary
precautions SO as to have the
cities in fine condition before the season
of hot weather comes on. Every law
bearing upon the sanitary condition of
the city should be rigidly enforced, and
the citys own part of the work done in
the most thorough manner possible. The
season is at least four weeks ahead of
what it usually is at this date, and it will
be necessary to keep up with it in the
work of preparing for summer. Cincin-
natl has not been accustomed to panics
on account of the prevalence of disease.
This has been partly owing to the natu-
rally healthy location of the city, but very
greatly to the excellent sanitary arrange
ments that have always been made.
With the city kept clean, and all matters

SHALL WE HAVE A GRADED
SCHOOL This question is now pre-
scented to the people of our town for an
answer. Shall we continue school by
which we can educate our children at
much less cost, or shall we abandon the
effort and try once more to educate
them by means ofprivate schools? The
latter course would be much more cost
ly to those who would send and would
deprive many of the opportunity OF ed
ucating their children. For the last
year the average cost of all grades has
been but 81 cents for each pupil enroll
ed When we consider that for pupils
In the higher branches the cost, both be-
fore and since the war, has been $500
per month and for the common English
branches from $500 to $3.50 per month,
we can readily see the difference. Many
persons suppose a public school should
be supported entirely by taxation. 1t
would be well to do so, but it is some
times impracticable. The public funds
even should we receive the full amount
to which we are entitled would not sup
port a sufficient number Of schools for
fire months. The cost Of this school
last year, without including contingent
expenses was s1767.50. The total
amount of the corporation school tax
did not exceed $3.50. Aid from the
Peabody fund has notyet been received,
and will not exceed $50. Tuition of
pupils IN the Higher Branches will not
exceed $500. Our share of the State
school fund ought not to be less than
s4l5. but we have received only sSS,
and on account of the diversion of this
fund may not receive any more. From
these items, it is readily seen that the
Trustees must either decrease the length
Of session, or must ask assistance from
other sources. The town council has
imposed the maximum tax allowed by
law. The trustees certainly cannot be
expected to continue a school costing
for teachers pay alone sl767.50, when
they receive from all sources but sl0SS.
One Of the questions to be determined
at the meeting to be held tonight is,
chow can we meet this deficiency :"
\ committee consisting Of ten gentle
men has been appointed to consider the
subject and their report will be present
ed at the meeting tonight. \ full at
tendance of all who are interested in
maintaining a good school is very i'm
portant.

RAINs.-We have had fine rains
within the last few days. The corn is
now doing finely and there is every
prospect for an excellent crop. Should
the yield be what is now expected this
will be the most prolific year within the
recollection ofmany Of our people. The
wheat, grass, oats, rye, and early potato
crops were very large. There has
been an abundance of garden vegeta-
bles. With full corn crop, we GER
tainly will have no right to complain.
We should rather rejoice that we are
receiving so much more than we really
deserve.
