latiOn, 5000.
Members of the school board are rejoic-
ing over the fact that they will get about as
good school house on Pearl street as that
on the North side, for about $4,000 less
money.
The opening of the Pearl street house
for pupils will relieve the pressure
on the south house, and perhaps take half
of the pupils from the Clifton street house.
Then the Clifton street house can take a
good portion of the east house pupils. and
a house yet to be built somewhere in the
vicinity of Lagonda avenue will take the
rest. The East street house is entirely
unit for the purpose. A small portion Of
the time the pupils are forced to stop reciting
and even from studying by the unearthly
screeching of locomotives, kept up during
q good portion of school hours.
We have now about three hundred more
school pupils than we have ever had before
in this city. This fact shows that the city
Is steadily growing. Its population is now
hardly less than $4,000, and the census Of
1880 will give us 10000, as predicted in the

Bread Stolen by TrnmDs.

This morning Officer Mast was told by the
watchman at the target at Yellow Springs
street and the railroad crossing that he had
found a basket of bread lying near the track
early this morning. The basket contained
fourteen ioaves that had evidently been
baked fresh in the night The policeman
took the basket to all the bakeries in the
west end, and it was finally claimed at C.
S. Sclaeffer's, Isl West Main street.
Mr.. Schaefer said that while the man
who runs the delivery-wagon was in the
stable hanessing up the horses early this
morning, the wagon was standing in the
alley. and this is doubtlhss the time when
the bread was taken. as the basket had but
a short time before been placed in the
wagon. The handle was entirely torn off.
and the sides Of the basket considerably
battered. II is undoubtedly the work of
tramps, and they succeeded in getting
away with about eight loaves.

RETURNED PROSPERITY.

The Indications of steady Growth and
Business Activity-Some Points Given by
Prominent Manufacturer.
A representative of the GLoBE-REPUB-
Lie. n,conversationwit a prominent man
Efacturer of the city, a few days since, OBJ
tanned some interesting facts. The
gentleman said that the city is
in much better condition than it has been
during any time within the past three years.
One year ago. on account Of the very Sc
we're winter, and the large number of men
out of employment, there was a great deal
of suffering for the bare necessities. This
winter matters have materially changed.
There are fully so per cent more persons
employed in the different shops than there
were one year ago, and everything indicates
that the force will have to be still more in
creased. The fact is, Springfield has passed
through the fire and Is now safely on the
other side and everything looks bright for
the future. Parties are coming here with a
view of engaging in the manufacture of
articles that are not now on the list of
Springfield products, which is additional
evidence of returning prosperity.
A careful computation also shows that in
the matter of population the Champion City
has not only held her own during these
years of trade depression, but has steadily
increased. The figures show that the city
has now q population of at least $1,000 in
habitants; this estimate Is made with the
number of enrolled persons under school
age and the total Of polled voters as basis
of calculation, and cannot be far from cor
rect In the retail trade the revival of busi-
ness is very perceptible and most merchants
report a very healthy increase. Everything
now indicates manufacturing boom. bus
ness boom, and building boom for 1856.

@Some Of these statesmen are queer

member know drinks about forty drinks

tells the barkeeper, when it runs over,
his sight is bad and he can't see well.
One must have three Jumps of sugar, a
tablespoonful of water and half COB
let Of whisky for his usual dram. He
dusts little nutmeg over this. gulps it
down and exclaims every time he does so
that it is drink fit for the gods. One
congressman drinks beer in great guam
titles, and he always puts pepper sauce
in it. He is an economical fellow and
says that pepper sauce makes the beer
burn his stomach as well as whisky. and
his drinks cost him but half the price,
"Some statesmen drink on the sly, and
one know who. If he sees any one in the

1t is cold day when person behind a

Men may come and men may go. but the
stream of human beings goes on forever.
So do the milk cars. One represents the
''Oid Honesty Dairy" another the Pure

of these daires ''pans" out as richly to Gus
toners as their names would seem to
promise.
The most nobby men on the street are
the gamblers They sport the latest
and most pronounced STYLES in
coats, waistcoats and trousers. They toll
not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon was
slouch compared to them, as to the one
respect of attire. II isn't wise for decent
people, Of either sex. to dress too loud.
The health officers should bear in mind
that il is quite as important to have the
streets kept clean in winter as in summer.
An accumulation of filth on the public
thoroughfares in cold weather is sure TO give
the people bad atmosphere when thaw
comes. Clean streets all the year round is
a public necessity.
