John Boyle O'Reilly, poet and editor,
and lis Spanish friend, DIR. Guiteras, staid
over Sunday in Springfield. The Republican,
which gives some account OF their adventures
on tho river before their ovorturn in rapid
among the logs at Plainfeld, N H.. says
"Mr. O'Reilly is full Of enthusiasm over the
Connecticut's charm for tho canoest, as well
rs over the general charm Of the canoeist's
life. He and bis friend agree that there is no
river in the country that has tho Connectcut's
advantages for canoeing, or that so fully re-
pays the voyager Mr.. OReilly maryels that
ho passed aud heard of no other canoeists on

Of sportsmon on its banks. The Connecticut

pal canoeing stream in America, and bear
many hundred canoes on it's bosom every
summer

The appropriate committee Of the Board Of Edn-
caipn has reported in favor Of re-opening the public
schools on the second Monday in september instead
OF the nrst This is step In the right direction, but
1t is not long enough. Intense heat Is the for
the long summer vacation; but tue FIRST half Of Sep.
.hoet Us generally about as hot as the last half Of
August, as every family that ever returned to the city
from the country the first Of September has learn
edt it, sorrow To suddenly couhne lot Of children
who have been free for weeks IN schooro ON hot
September day is cruel. and to the many thousands Of
boys aud girls Who have spent their vacation in the
fresh air Of the country It works much physical in.
jury. II the purpose Of the committee is to defer the
general openinpuu continuous hot weather is no
longer to be feared the third Monday Of september is
as early date as should be fxed.-N y. Her1H.
The above is identical with suggestions
which We urged year ago with regard to the
time Of beginning our Brattleboro public
schools but the Herald states the case quite
too moderately when it says ,hat "the first half
of September is generally dJ9ut as lat as the /
last half Of August" The fact is that we al.
most invariably have one of the worst and
most trying heated terms Of the whole season /
during the first ten or twelve days Of Sep
TENDER, and it is not only 'cruel," but abso- /
lutoly wicked to suddenly call children in |
from an outdoor life, and shut them up in /
stuhy school rooms, requiring any sort of |
mental application from them in such hot .
weather The tenth of September is carly /
enough for our schools to begin this year, |
and the 18th would be better.
A CARD PROM THE SECRETARY or THEY. NJ. CA. /
On Friday, the 20tL inst, some one left .
bouquet Of flowers in the rcading room of .
the y. NJ C. A. Whether they we're intend
ed for our use or not we have no means of
knowing. However, they were appropriated
and We wish to express our gratitude to the .
one who left them. We wish that others who .
have an abundance Of flowers would 20 and
do likewise. God loyeth a cheerful giyer"
a cup Of cold water given in His name has its
reward, and may not flower have the same?
We have no desire TO be mean in the matter,
aud If those who have not the flowers to give
would send us in some vases to put them in
we will be very grateful for them A few
little things Of this kind will add very much
to the attractiveness of our rooms.
