A New School HOUSE. Point
Pleasant, needs 4 new school house,
not simplyto have a fine one or a
conspicuous building, but as u mat
Ter Of absolute requirement for the
health of the scholars, and because of
their increasing numbers. Nobuild-
ing intended for public use can be
we'll ventilated when the ceilings are
low and the mode of heating irregu.
lar; especially is this true the rooms
are over crowded. Physicians say
that much disease and physical suf-
fcring in after life is caused by child
rem breathing poisonous mir in the
school'room. We venture 10 say there
is not town on either side of the
Ohio river from Cincinnati to Pitts
burgh, of the population of Point
Pleasant, with so poor a school house;
certainly none of the towns in Mason
county, though smaller than this,
have such uncomfortable and INSULT
cient school buildings. The District,
we believe, owns q good lot in this
town, bought for the express purpose
ofputting new school house upon
it. and why the matter should be de-
layed longer than next Spring we
IRE unable TO see. The old house and
lot would probably sell for enough to
go fur towards paying for a new
building. Let us think about the
matter and get ready to build.

fourth Monday of February, on fourth
Monday of May, and on second Mon

EPISCOPAL REcTonY.-An earnest
effort will soon be made by the con-
gregation of this place to buy or build
a Parsonage for Christ Church. 1t is
almost impossible for any church to
maintain preacher without having
IL residence belonging to the church,
to say nothing of the greater conyen,
fence and freedom from annoyance to
the incumbent We believe the cit.
liens of the town and surrounding
country will generally assist in this
object.
We depend upon our Wheeling let.
tiers for summary of the proceedings
of the Legislature, In the daily re,
port so many bills are referred tc
simply by their number that it is i'm
possible for the reader to get an in
telligible understanding of what has
been done.

Club ofthis place is firmly organized
