EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.

THE colored school began last
Monday under the management Of
Miss Mary Stuart, of Clarksburg.
Mr.. Parks, of the school board.
who has been experimenting the
work on the academy, showed us
through the building the other day
and explained the work, and we
must say that the finish is most
artistic, with a happy blending of
color, painting, ~papering, figure and
design. The building is now much
handsomer than when it was new.
and We believe that we now have the
most attractive school building i'm
the State. The rooms, barring
carpet, are as handsome as n large
parlor or drawing room, and pupils
that do not learn this winter will
have no one but themselves to blame.

New Cars for the Il. & O.

The Baltimore and Ohio r. r..
Co. have recently given an order
for four additional trains Of Vesti-
buled Cars, which will be placed in
service between New York and Chi
cago before the close of the present
year. The Baltimore and OHIO now
operates a daily Vestibuled service
between Chicago and New York
and Cincinnati and New York, this
new equipment will give them a
double, daily Vestibuled service on
their Chicago line. The constant
improvement being made in it's road
way, motive power and car equip
ment by the present management OF
the b. & o. is rapidly bringing the
pioneer railroad Of America into
popular favor as a popular route
between the East and West.

day the school opened up in earnest
