TO RECONSTRUCT "OLD IRON
SIDE"
From Harper's Weekly.)

The Massachusetts Historical society
has petitioned Congress to rebuild the
old frigate Constitution, now used as a
receiving ship in the Portsmouth Navy
Yard, and after restoring her to her orr
ginal condition, to keep her at the Navy
Yard at Washington, where she may be
easily accessible to patriot citizens who
want to tread her decks. Tie society's
action is prompted by the oSaS;ton Of the
old ship, which is such, Namy say, that
If she is not repaired she must soon sink
at her ermoorings. The cost of reconstruc-
ting her is estimated at about $685. 900.
The society and many other petitioners
think that she is as we'll worth preserv-
ing as a glorious relic as Nelson's flag
ship Victory, so reverently preserved by
Great Britain; nor does it find the time
any more ripe for her destruction now
than it was in 1899, when Holmes, a
young fellow just leaving college, wrote
a poem about her that has outlived its
author and threatens now to survive it's
subject.
TheCOnstitution was launched a century
ago at Boston. Under Hull, ON August
10, 1912, she whipped and sunk the
Guerriere off the Massachusetts, coast,
making thereby a prodigious sensation,
and affording most notable and timely
exception to the maxim (of that day. that
Britannia ruled the wave. Under Balm
bridge, in the same year, she captured
and sunk the Java off Brazil, and in
1915, under Stewart, captured at the
same time the frigate Cyane and the
sloOp Levant. Whether she will still
be the same "Old Ironsides'' after $685.
600 worth of new construction has been
put into her is a question for psycholo-
gists, statisticians, and shipbuilders. The
possibility of taking her up the Potomac
as far as Washington is disputed, but
Boston, Portsmouth. and Annapolis all
want her. Farragut's flagship Hartford
has been kept in use ON sentimental
grounds, and is now being repaired for
active service.

Concord Standard.

This district school. No. 10, taught at
the old Plunkett school house in No. 1
township, lis not running as smooth as
ice. 1t seems that a small boy was call
ed up for a whipping, and the lady in
charge, feeling the task too much for
her, reported the matter. The commit
tee took it upon themselves to clay it on"
the boy and was to do so in the presence
of the boys father. The boy declared
his innocence of the charge to the father
and the father would not submit to the
proposed whipping, which caused divi-
sion in the school, and as matters now
stand the school is reported to be in bad
