to them There is little story in connection
with both articles aud publication. When the
arrangement for the articles was made with
General Harrison by Edward W. Box, editor
Of The LHdics' HoHc JonTDHi the General
was paid for them, with the understanding
that when they were put iut) book form the
mag zine was to share the royalties accruing
thercfrom. Mr.. Box, however, Of his own ac-
cord, generously released General Harrison
from p wing him any royalty. for the reason
is he states, that by the publication of the
articles 10y General Harrison the subscription
ii>t Of he magazine was enlarged many thous
sands. The profits of The L0dics' Home jo,u'
mai were more than the publishers anticipated,
ard IN view Of this, Mr.. Box asks nothing

The Addition to the Public school
Building

The fears and anxieties which have for sew
eral months past exercised the minds of the
parents and guardians of the children in the
primary departments of the Bel Air Graded
school, are now dissipated. The closing of
the scholastic year of 1856, marked the end
of the many years Of usefulness of the old
Bel Air Academy tamong the alumnie of
which may be named many who have achieved
fame in this and other States and the com
mcncement of this year tells the story of new
| and commodious quarters, better facilities,
greater comforts and that peace of mind
| which naturally follows an assurance of
| security and safety.
When as the result of the public meeting in
| March last which condemned the Academy
| building unsafe and unfit for the purposes
| for which it had been used for nearly a cen
tury, the Board of County Commissioners
gave authority to the School Board to erect
such a building as the exigencies of the case
| demanded, feeling Of relief took possession
of parents, teachers and children alike; and
now that the contract is completed and the
new building ready for occupancy, Bel All
| can boast of as well planned and thoroughly
finished and equipped school house as vii
meet all requirements for years to come.

addition to the Graded School building whic!
already stood on Gordon street, easily access
Bile from all parts of the town, which should
be an exact counterpart of that edifce; and il

production.
The addition furnishes four large rooms
each of which is % feet wide aud IL feet long
giving ample space in which to place desk

ceilings are fourteen feet in height, and thr
arrangements for complete ventilation are o
