A New Girls High School.

An arrangement has been perfected by
the city board of education, together with a
committee from the city council, with the
trustees of the old Female Academy proper
ty, on Main street, west end, by which the
city secures the use of said building for the
period of one year, free of charge,
except the outlay for repairs. 1t
will require some time and expense to put
the place in proper repair, and it will be
perhaps two weeks before it is ready for oc-
cupancy. When ready it will be made use
of as the girls high school, for the city
schools, and all FIVE of the higher grades
from to 10 inclusive-something near 200
students, will be removed there from the
Hampden Sidney building, which is now
badly crowded.
This will certainly be an admirable ar
rangement, and all persons Interested in
bringing it about should have the sincere
thanks of the patrons of the school. The
old academy is much better and more
suitable location for the young ladies in
every way. In addition to this, room will
be made for the transfer to the Hampden
Sidney building of the higher grade of girls
from the other schools, and ample room will
be made for the present for all who will
likely attend the schools.

To Make Water Cold.

Let the jar, pitcher or vessel used for wa
ter be surrounded with one or more folds of
course cotton, to be constantly wet. The
evaporation of the water will carry off the
heat from the inside and reduce it to freez-
ing point. In India and other tropical re-
gions where ice cannot be produced this is
common. Let every mechanic or laborer
have at his place of employment two pitch
ers thus provided and with lids or covers
the one to contain the water for drinking,
the other for evaporation-and he can al
ways have supply of cold water in warm
weather. Any person can test this by Dip
ping a finger in water and holding it in the
air of warm day. After doing this three
or four times he will find his finger uncom-
fortably cold.
The above is from the Housekeeper's AL
manac, published in Philadelphia in 1s48,
now in the hands of Capt. F. P. Peace.

Further Particulars of the Fire in
Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich, September 10
Rains have fallen in probably suffi-
cient quantities to quench the fires,
but not enough to soak the ground
and revive the dropping vegetation.
The lowest estimates indicate that
215 families have been burned out in
the towns of Morlette, Finn, Argyll,
Evergreen, Moore, Lacatte and
Elmer, in Sanilac County, and thirty
two persons are known to be dead.
Men who travelled through the
burned district yesterday report that
the fires are mostly out and the in>
habitants sitting about the ashes of
their houses, many burned and
otherwise injured. They are dis
consulate and almost bereft of their
senses. Provisions, clothing, bedding
and other necessaries are being con
stantly forwarded, and men are travel
ing through the burned sections dis
tributing supplies and taking the
names of those in need. Many per-
sons are still missing in the burned
district, and the exact loss cannot be
known for some days. Sixty five
burials are reported in six towns,
and it is said that twenty seven dead
have been found in the country be-
tween Bad Axe and Port Hope,
Trains are now running regularly be-
tween Sand Rock and Morlette.

Wicked for Ciergymen.

clergymen and other public men to be led
into giving testimonials to quack doctors, or
vile stuffs called medicines. but when a
really meritorious article, made of valuable
remedies known to all, that all physicians
use and trust in daily, we should freely COM
mend it. I, therefore, cheerfully and

FROM FOREIGN NDS.
News From the Old World Through
the Atlantic Ocean.

LONDON, September 10-Circulars
have been posted to all the cotton
spinners and manufacturers of Black
burn and thirteen adjacent towns,
asking whether they are willing to
stop their spinners for a week, On
condition that two-thirds of the
trade do the same. An answer is to
be returned on Monday so that if
the necessary majority favor the
adoption of this course, in order to
counteract the movements of the
Liverpool cotton corner, spinners
may be stopped for a week,
beginning on next manning up
day, Wednesday or Thursday. It
is now thought that the canvass of
masters at Preston and in North
Lancashire will result in two thirds
majority in favor of stopping work.
1t is confidently stated that fort
nights stoppage would completely
extinguish the ring.

cola, which was ashore at Laxgley

power in the State, the principal
feature was the reading of papers by

in the direction of education. He
said that true Methodism was the
enemy of drink and all national
evils, and that true Methodist was
