State of Children's Health fin the Schools
 Progress Of New School BuiIdfnGs-A
 Visit to the Night Schools.
 A regular meeting of the Board of Educa- tion was held last evening. Present, Messrs. Welch (presiding) Zunder, Bushnell, Maher, Sweeney and Peck.
 Superintendent Parish reported that there was less sickness than usual at this time of the year. There were some cases of diph- theria and also of humps As a rule the health among children in the schools WAS quite good.
 MT. Bushnell said the work on the new school buildings had been somewhat impeded by the severe cold weather, but thought the present state of the thermometer indicated an early resumption.
 The question of paying the balance due the late janitor of the High School was left to the finance committee
 After the Board adjourned the members With the reporters visited the several rooms where the night school classes are held. It was found that there were scholars between the ages of fourteen and forty years who were diligently searching after knowledge. and the entire number of scholars is about one hundred. There is room for about tWenty-nV or thirty more scholars, but it .is the desire of the Board that only those who intend to continue their studies faithfully should present themselves for admission. Tn the room where the English language is taught to Germans there was a remarkable exhibition of progress in some of the stu dents One German who had been in the country but four weeks showed great pro- hc!ency In writing the American language. Other noticeable advancements were made apparent in the different rooms. It is evi dent that the night school is an important ad- junct of our splendid school system.

Total Loss of the Schooner Amson simp-
 son and CarRo-The Captain Buried at
 Sea-The Enropa Given Up.
 The three -masted schooner Anson Simpson and her cargo prove a total loss. A Wash ington dispatch yesterday says:
 The signal station at Atlantic City, N. J., reports at 2:30 as followss The three-masted schooner Simpson, with sugar to New York, came ashore on Brigantine Ibar about mid night during the fog. All hands were sick with chills and fever, and the captain was taken off and cared for by a crew from the ife-station.
 The schooner was the Anson Simpson, Captain Albion Sloman. She took cargo of machinery from New Haven, shipped by the Farrell Foundry, of Ansonia, to San Domin- go, and returning, loaded with cargo of 300 hogsheads of sugar for New York The cargo was valued at about $2O,OO0. The captains home was at Rockport, Mass, where the vessel belonged. She was owned by the Rockport Granite company. The captain had made two trips from this city to San Domingo, and friends who made his acquaint- ance here lament his sad fate and speak of him highly. He was to have been given in charge of new vessel had he returned. The cargo was insured with the Security, of this city, and probably part of the loss will be borne by other companies
 The bark Europa, owned in this city, the probability of whose loss was spoken of 8 few weeks ago, is now given up for lost, nothing having ever been heard from her. The wives of Captain Dodge, of Orrington, Me, and the mate, MT. Redmond, of Isles borough, were sisters, now mutually afflicted and mourning the loss of their husbands The remainder of the crew probably shipped in New York. The vessel was probably lost in great hurricane which occurred shortly after she was spoken.

The Ice Harvest.
Gathering in the Crystal BIoclxs on t

Gathering in the Crystal Bloelks on the
 Lakes and Ponds.
 The ice cutting at Lake Whitney was tenn porarily suspended yesterday, owing to the breakage of wheel, and will be resumed Monday afternoon or Tuesday. About 1000 tons of fine ice have been harvested by the company, and by Friday next probably they will have their large and ample houses at Whitneyville full, or nearly so The com pany, as reported some time ago, built an additional large house at the lake the past season. The ice is harvested at the lake by new endless chain apparatus put in for this seasons work, and with it the work of filing all three houses is much facilitated and pro- ceeds simultaneously, the feeding being done from one central point. The ice when the cutting began was about eight inches thick, and some of it is now fourteen inches and of fine quality. Quite force of men is em- ployed. Similar apparatus to that put in at Lake Whitney was put in at Lake Saltonstall two years ago. Both are of the most inn proved kind for the work The cutting at Lake Saltonstan will begin when the harvest ing is done at Lake Whitney. The company has fine new ice house at Lake Saltonstall. built last year, which has never been used, there having been no ice harvested at the lake last year, the weather having been so unfa- vorable for ice making All the houses at Lake Saltonstall new, built within three or four years. The combined capacity of all the ice houses of the company, including those at Foxon, is about 9, GOO tons, and a crop of 10000 tons will probably be secured. The ice at SaltenstalI is over foot thick. MT. Bishop the secretary and treasurer of the company, gives the harvesting his per- sonal supervision.
 The Housatonic Ice company, Bridgeport, have not yet filled their ice houses at their reservoir in that city, owing to some delays in getting the building at the reservoir com pleted, and in getting in the machinery They made commencement on the cutting Thursday. The ice on the reservoir is about fourteen inches thick and good quality
