Mr.. Curry, the Agent Of the
Peabody Fund, listening to the ap-
peal for aid from the Ripley Insti
tute, has, in his discretion, deviat-
ed from the general plan Of disbur-
sing the fund, and contributed two
hundred and fifty dollars to the
support Of this school. There is
still a balance to be made up by
the citizens in order to secure this
and to run the school. Are We
not going to show our appreciation
Of this act of kindness and generos.
ity on the part of Mr.. Curry, by
making up that balance, especially
when we are the gamer thereby,
and have already felt and seen the
benefits Of this school during the
past session. Let US urge upon
the citizens the necessity Of prompt
and immediate action one way or
the other. The people want to know
definitely whether the school is to
be Free or not.
The time will soon be over to &C.
cure positions for the coming SEES
sion. 1t is not right to keep them
waiting In this manner. Dojustice
to those who have labored to the
best oftheir ability in your interest,
and let them know what you are
going to DO. We are anxious to
see the school continued free, and
hope the good citizens Of this place
will not be so blinded TO their own
interest az to let the school fall
through for the sake Of a few dol
lars. We do not say this from any
selfish motive. We could make
more money out of a private school.
We say it for the interest we. feel
in Ripley, whose people we like,
and to whom we feel grateful for
many kindnesseS; for the apprecia-
ton Of our efforts in the educ alton
If their boys; and above all, for the
interest and pride we take in the
Ripley Institute, and the hope of
making it one of the greatest fac
tors for good in all this broad and
sunny land.

a very handsome volume, good pa

real merit. If the beautiful en-
craving of Lady Olivia is an index

have something in store for US that
is deeply interesting and highly
