OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

the prosperous exhibit they make Of the years study
One OF the important evidences Of tho interest
taken by the pupils themselves in their work IS tho
large number who have applied Tor admission to the
Tree College OF the City Of New York. This nstiiu-
ton is the goal every public school boys ambition.
The number Of applicants this year-ss9, more than
In any iormeg year-may be considered an encourag-
ing sign. OF this number 639 havc been admitted
about the usual percentage. The number from tho
different grammar schools varies greatly Grammar

to temperance the speaker said:
1t remains as much as ever a IN matter

On the 18th day of July, next, the
sale of the Pswnee Reservation will
commence at Central City, Merrick
county. 1t covers a tract of country
I5x30 miles in area, making In all 45O
square miles, or $4,000 acres. The
great part of this land is the best In
the State, and about 1000 acres of 1t
Is under cultivation. The provisions
of the sale are such, that It cannot be
sold only in tracts of l6O acres. at not
less than $3.50 per acre. Undoubted-
ly, the sale of those lands will cause
a large influx of strangers into Mer-
rick county, during the coming month.
Many of them will doubtless see, and
realize the beauties Of the Great Platte
Valley, and although they may not
like to go quite so far from the rail-
road may yet feel that so or 16O acres
of land In so promising a locality as
Merrick county will warrant pecuni-
ary reward.-CentrdI City Courier.
