REV WM. LORD was not able to take
charge of the Milford Academy, and
therefore the parties interested have
been in correspondence with other
teachers. A number of applications
for the position have been received
from the neighborhOod of Boston. A
majority of those applying from the
East send their photographs with
their letters. The custom is thought
by the school committee to be a good
one. AT present it is thought proba-
bic that Prof. Stanton, graduate Of
Harvard College, may take charge of
the school. The subscribers to the en-
terprise have limited their individual
responsibility to 500 zach, for the first
years tuition. There are ten subscrib-
ers now to the list, and it is thought
that ten or fifteen more may be had.
If more than twenty scholars are Sc
cured it is proposed to secure an assist
ant teacher.

may be charged by the city, town or
village. Fruits prepared with spirit
uous liquors. bitters, or other bever-
ages of which spirituCus liquors form
an ingredient, come under the head
of intoxicating liquors, and stand on
the same footing. Provision is made
for what is known as "local option"
in the places where intoxicating liq-
'uors may be sold. When one-third
