Growth of the High school.

The large increase in the number of pu-
pills in the High school, renders it probable
that important changes will be necessary
at the opening of the next school year. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Wright favors the
removal of the second intermediate depart
ment from that building to the new one
at the north end of the village. The ninth
grade would then be moved to the ground
floor of the High school building, giving
the whole upper story to the High school
department For year or two the quar-
tiers have been much cramped, and the lab
OratOry has been used as a recitation room.
The natural promotions of pupils for the
next year, will make that department
number considerably over 100, which is a
much larger number than ever before in at
tendance.

During the past week or two our local

terested in the sharp advance in prices
of rag stock. 1t viii be remembered that
during last summers cholera scare import
alton of rags was suspended, Temporarily,
and nrices consequently materially adNallc-
ed. Since then prices have Declined as the
importation OF rags has been again per
mitted. They have not, however, reached
the very low prices ruling before the scare
There has been general expectation lhaI
permanent embargo would he lald upon
their importation, because OF the intention
of the government TO protect our country
from the disease next season. Our manu-
facturers have puschased quite heavily III

of our mills is largely news paper (ihe

fifty thousand feet OF logs are now ground
here weekly, or $4,000, 900 per year. The
stock of rags now on hand is consid-
cred ample for several months. 1t is eX-
pected that the embargo will last at least a

death of another old resident OF the place.
