presented to the Principal of that Institu
ton about three quarters of a century
ago, the only surviving signers to it, be-
ing Mr.. John s. Everist, highly re-
spected citizen of this county now resid
ing at Colora, and the other Charles s.

l6xlS inches of very thick paper, being
folded to 6x9 inches, and is addressed on
the outside to Reuben H. Davis, A. NJ,
and on the inside "To the President of the
County Academy" written in letters an
inch long. The boys were petitioning
for Christmas holiday of ten days, and
IN view of the fact that they were allowed
only one day at Christmas, and another
day at New Year, with no let I'D on Sat
uruays throughout the year, and Greek
and Latin being exacted as studies on
Sunday, their request does not seem I'M
reasonable. The petition is headed by
four students whose christian namea were
John 5. They were John S Hughes,
John 5. Buck, John s. Hail and John s.
