for more than week. However, re-
pairs have been completed, and the
line began working again at p. m.
yesterday, the 9th. Last Sunday, the

The last mentioned subject provoked
considerable discussion, one side main
tanning that every pupil, to be properly
educated, should have a knowledge OF
grammar while their opponents de-
clared that a thorough acquaintance
with good literature rendered the study

necessary, especially with children OF
